John 18:10-40

10SimonG4613 PeterG4074 thenG3767, 1havingG2192 a swordG3162, drewG1670 it and struckG3817 the highG749 priest’sG749 slaveG1401, and cutG609 offG609 his rightG1188 earG5621; and the slave’sG1401 nameG3686 was MalchusG3124. 11SoG3767 JesusG2424 saidG3004 to PeterG4074, “PutG906 the swordG3162 into the sheathG2336; 2the cupG4221 whichG3739 the FatherG3962 has givenG1325 Me, shall I not drinkG4095 it?”

123SoG3767 4the Roman 5cohortG4686 and the 6commanderG5506 and the 7officersG5257 of the JewsG2453, arrestedG4815 JesusG2424 and boundG1210 Him, 13and ledG71 Him to 8AnnasG452 firstG4413; for he was father-in-lawG3995 of 9CaiaphasG2533, whoG3739 was highG749 priestG749 that yearG1763. 14NowG1161 CaiaphasG2533 was the one who had advisedG4823 the JewsG2453 that 10it was expedientG4851 for oneG1520 manG444 to dieG599 on behalfG5228 of the peopleG2992.

1511SimonG4613 PeterG4074 was followingG190 JesusG2424, and so was anotherG243 discipleG3101. NowG1161 that discipleG3101 was knownG1110 to the highG749 priestG749, and enteredG4897 with JesusG2424 into 12the courtG833 of the highG749 priestG749, 1613but PeterG4074 was standingG2476 at the doorG2374 outsideG1854. SoG3767 the otherG243 discipleG3101, who was knownG1110 to the highG749 priestG749, wentG1831 out and spokeG3004 to the doorkeeperG2377, and broughtG1521 PeterG4074 in. 1714ThenG3767 the slave-girlG3814 who keptG2377 the doorG2377 saidG3004 to PeterG4074, “15You are not alsoG2532 one of thisG3778 man’sG444 disciplesG3101, are you?” He saidG3004, “I amG1510 not.” 18NowG1161 the slavesG1401 and the 16officersG5257 were standingG2476 there, having madeG4160 17a charcoalG439 fireG439, for it was coldG5592 and they were 18warmingG2328 themselves; and PeterG4074 was alsoG2532 with them, standingG2476 and warmingG2328 himself.

1919The highG749 priestG749 thenG3767 questionedG2065 JesusG2424 aboutG4012 His disciplesG3101, and aboutG4012 His teachingG1322. 20JesusG2424 answeredG611 him, “I 20have spokenG2980 openlyG3954 to the worldG2889; I alwaysG3842 21taughtG1321 in 22synagoguesG4864 and 23in the templeG2413, whereG3699 allG3956 the JewsG2453 comeG4905 togetherG4905; and I spokeG2980 nothingG3762 in secretG2927. 21WhyG5101 do you questionG2065 Me? QuestionG2065 thoseG3588 who have heardG191 whatG5101 I spokeG2980 to them; they knowG3609 whatG3739 I saidG3004.” 22When He had saidG3004 thisG3778, oneG1520 of the 24officersG5257 standingG3936 nearbyG3936 25struckG1325G4475 JesusG2424, sayingG3004, “Is that the wayG3779 You answerG611 the highG749 priestG749?” 2326JesusG2424 answeredG611 him, “IfG1487 I have spokenG2980 wronglyG2560, testifyG3140 of the wrongG2556; but ifG1487 rightlyG2573, whyG5101 do you strikeG1194 Me?” 2427SoG3767 AnnasG452 sentG649 Him boundG1210 to 28CaiaphasG2533 the highG749 priestG749.

2529NowG1161 30SimonG4613 PeterG4074 was standingG2476 and warmingG2328 himself. SoG3767 they saidG3004 to him, “31You are not alsoG2532 one of His disciplesG3101, are you?” He deniedG720 it, and saidG3004, “I amG1510 not.” 26OneG1520 of the slavesG1401 of the highG749 priestG749, beingG1510 a relativeG4773 of the one 32whoseG3739 earG5621 PeterG4074 cutG609 offG609, saidG3004, “Did I not seeG3708 you in 33the gardenG2779 with Him?” 27PeterG4074 thenG3767 deniedG720 it againG3825, and immediatelyG2112 34a roosterG220 crowedG5455.

2835ThenG3767 they ledG71 JesusG2424 from 36CaiaphasG2533 into 37the 38PraetoriumG4232, and it was earlyG4404; and they themselvesG846 did not enterG1525 into 39the 40PraetoriumG4232 soG2443 that 41they would not be defiledG3392, but might eatG2068 the PassoverG3957. 2942ThereforeG3767 PilateG4091 wentG1831 out to them and saidG5346, “WhatG5101 accusationG2724 do you bringG5342 against thisG3778 ManG444?” 30They answeredG611 and saidG3004 to him, “IfG1487 thisG3778 ManG3778 were not an evildoerG2556, we would not have deliveredG3860 Him to you.” 31SoG3767 PilateG4091 saidG3004 to them, “TakeG2983 Him yourselvesG4771, and judgeG2919 Him accordingG2596 to your lawG3551.” The JewsG2453 saidG3004 to him, “We are not permittedG1832 to putG615 anyoneG3762 to deathG615,” 32to fulfillG4137 43the wordG3056 of JesusG2424 whichG3739 He spokeG3004, signifyingG4591 by whatG4169 kindG4169 of deathG2288 He was aboutG3195 to dieG599.

33ThereforeG3767 PilateG4091 44enteredG1525 againG3825 into the PraetoriumG4232, and summonedG5455 JesusG2424 and saidG3004 to Him, “45Are You the KingG935 of the JewsG2453?” 34JesusG2424 answeredG611, “Are you sayingG3004 thisG3778 46on your ownG1438 initiativeG1438, orG2228 did othersG243 tellG3004 you aboutG4012 Me?” 35PilateG4091 answeredG611, “I amG1510 not a JewG2453, am I? Your own nationG1484 and the chiefG749 priestsG749 deliveredG3860 You to me; whatG5101 have You doneG4160?” 36JesusG2424 answeredG611, “47My kingdomG932 48is not of thisG3778 worldG2889. IfG1487 My kingdomG932 were of thisG3778 worldG2889, then My servantsG5257 would be fightingG75 soG2443 that I would not be handedG3860 over to the JewsG2453; but as it is, My kingdomG932 is not 49of thisG1782 realmG1782.” 37ThereforeG3767 PilateG4091 saidG3004 to Him, “SoG3766 You are a kingG935?” JesusG2424 answeredG611, “50You sayG3004 correctly that I amG1510 a kingG935. For thisG3778 I have been bornG1080, and for thisG3778 I have comeG2064 into the worldG2889, 51to testifyG3140 to the truthG225. 52EveryoneG3956 who is of the truthG225 hearsG191 My voiceG5456.” 38PilateG4091 saidG3004 to Him, “WhatG5101 is truthG225?”

And when he had saidG3004 thisG3778, he 53wentG1831 out againG3825 to the JewsG2453 and saidG3004 to them, “54I findG2147 noG3762 guiltG156 in Him. 3955But you have a customG4914 that I releaseG630 someoneG1520 56for you at the PassoverG3957; do you wishG1014 thenG3767 that I releaseG630 57for you the KingG935 of the JewsG2453?” 40SoG3767 they criedG2905 out againG3825, sayingG3004, “58Not thisG3778 ManG3778, but BarabbasG912.” NowG1161 BarabbasG912 was a robberG3027.
