John 18:16-40

161but 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. 172ThenG3767 the slave-girlG3814 who keptG2377 the doorG2377 saidG3004 to PeterG4074, “3You are not alsoG2532 one of thisG3778 man’sG444 disciplesG3101, are you?” He saidG3004, “I amG1510 not.” 18NowG1161 the slavesG1401 and the 4officersG5257 were standingG2476 there, having madeG4160 5a charcoalG439 fireG439, for it was coldG5592 and they were 6warmingG2328 themselves; and PeterG4074 was alsoG2532 with them, standingG2476 and warmingG2328 himself.

197The highG749 priestG749 thenG3767 questionedG2065 JesusG2424 aboutG4012 His disciplesG3101, and aboutG4012 His teachingG1322. 20JesusG2424 answeredG611 him, “I 8have spokenG2980 openlyG3954 to the worldG2889; I alwaysG3842 9taughtG1321 in 10synagoguesG4864 and 11in 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 12officersG5257 standingG3936 nearbyG3936 13struckG1325G4475 JesusG2424, sayingG3004, “Is that the wayG3779 You answerG611 the highG749 priestG749?” 2314JesusG2424 answeredG611 him, “IfG1487 I have spokenG2980 wronglyG2560, testifyG3140 of the wrongG2556; but ifG1487 rightlyG2573, whyG5101 do you strikeG1194 Me?” 2415SoG3767 AnnasG452 sentG649 Him boundG1210 to 16CaiaphasG2533 the highG749 priestG749.

2517NowG1161 18SimonG4613 PeterG4074 was standingG2476 and warmingG2328 himself. SoG3767 they saidG3004 to him, “19You 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 20whoseG3739 earG5621 PeterG4074 cutG609 offG609, saidG3004, “Did I not seeG3708 you in 21the gardenG2779 with Him?” 27PeterG4074 thenG3767 deniedG720 it againG3825, and immediatelyG2112 22a roosterG220 crowedG5455.

2823ThenG3767 they ledG71 JesusG2424 from 24CaiaphasG2533 into 25the 26PraetoriumG4232, and it was earlyG4404; and they themselvesG846 did not enterG1525 into 27the 28PraetoriumG4232 soG2443 that 29they would not be defiledG3392, but might eatG2068 the PassoverG3957. 2930ThereforeG3767 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 31the wordG3056 of JesusG2424 whichG3739 He spokeG3004, signifyingG4591 by whatG4169 kindG4169 of deathG2288 He was aboutG3195 to dieG599.

33ThereforeG3767 PilateG4091 32enteredG1525 againG3825 into the PraetoriumG4232, and summonedG5455 JesusG2424 and saidG3004 to Him, “33Are You the KingG935 of the JewsG2453?” 34JesusG2424 answeredG611, “Are you sayingG3004 thisG3778 34on 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, “35My kingdomG932 36is 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 37of thisG1782 realmG1782.” 37ThereforeG3767 PilateG4091 saidG3004 to Him, “SoG3766 You are a kingG935?” JesusG2424 answeredG611, “38You sayG3004 correctly that I amG1510 a kingG935. For thisG3778 I have been bornG1080, and for thisG3778 I have comeG2064 into the worldG2889, 39to testifyG3140 to the truthG225. 40EveryoneG3956 who is of the truthG225 hearsG191 My voiceG5456.” 38PilateG4091 saidG3004 to Him, “WhatG5101 is truthG225?”

And when he had saidG3004 thisG3778, he 41wentG1831 out againG3825 to the JewsG2453 and saidG3004 to them, “42I findG2147 noG3762 guiltG156 in Him. 3943But you have a customG4914 that I releaseG630 someoneG1520 44for you at the PassoverG3957; do you wishG1014 thenG3767 that I releaseG630 45for you the KingG935 of the JewsG2453?” 40SoG3767 they criedG2905 out againG3825, sayingG3004, “46Not thisG3778 ManG3778, but BarabbasG912.” NowG1161 BarabbasG912 was a robberG3027.
