John 18:2-23

2NowG1161 JudasG2455, who was 1betrayingG3860 Him, alsoG2532 knewG3609 the placeG5117, becauseG3754 JesusG2424 had 2oftenG4178 metG4863 thereG1563 with His disciplesG3101. 33SoG3767 JudasG2455, having obtainedG2983 4the Roman 5cohortG4686 and 6officersG5257 from the chiefG749 priestsG749 and the PhariseesG5330, cameG2064 thereG1563 with lanternsG5322, 7torchesG2985, and weaponsG3696. 4JesusG2424 thereforeG3767, 8knowingG3609 allG3956 the thingsG3956 that were comingG2064 upon Him, cameG1831 outG1831 into the open and saidG3004 to them, “9WhomG5101 are you seekingG2212?” 5They answeredG611 Him, “JesusG2424 the NazareneG3480.” He saidG3004 to them, “I amG1510 He.” And JudasG2455 alsoG2532, who was betrayingG3860 Him, was standingG2476 with them. 6NowG3767 thenG3767, whenG5613 He saidG3004 to them, “I amG1510 He,” they drewG565 backG3694 and fellG4098 to the groundG5476. 7He thenG3767 askedG1905 them againG3825, “10WhomG5101 are you seekingG2212?” And they saidG3004, “JesusG2424 the NazareneG3480.” 8JesusG2424 answeredG611, “I toldG3004 you that I amG1510 He; soG3767 ifG1487 you are seekingG2212 Me, letG863 theseG3778 men goG5217 onG5217 their wayG5217.” 9This took place soG2443 thatG2443 the wordG3056 whichG3739 He spokeG3004 would be fulfilledG4137: “11Of those whomG3739 You have givenG1325 Me I lostG622 not oneG3762.” 10ThenG3767 SimonG4613 PeterG4074, 12since he hadG2192 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; 13the cupG4221 whichG3739 the FatherG3962 has givenG1325 Me, am I not to drinkG4095 it?”

1214SoG3767 15the Roman 16cohortG4686, the 17commanderG5506, and the 18officersG5257 of the JewsG2453 arrestedG4815 JesusG2424 and boundG1210 Him, 13and broughtG71 Him to 19AnnasG452 firstG4413; for he was the father-in-lawG3995 of 20CaiaphasG2533, whoG3739 was highG749 priestG749 that yearG1763. 14NowG1161 CaiaphasG2533 was the one who had advisedG4823 the JewsG2453 that 21it wasG4851 inG4851 their bestG4851 interestG4851 for oneG1520 manG444 to dieG599 in behalfG5228 of the peopleG2992.

1522SimonG4613 PeterG4074 was followingG190 JesusG2424, and so was anotherG243 discipleG3101. NowG1161 that discipleG3101 was knownG1110 to the highG749 priestG749, and he enteredG4897 withG4897 JesusG2424 into 23the courtyardG833 of the highG749 priestG749, 1624but PeterG4074 was standingG2476 at the doorG2374 outsideG1854. SoG3767 the otherG243 discipleG3101, who was knownG1110 to the highG749 priestG749, wentG1831 outG1831 and spokeG3004 to the doorkeeperG2377, and broughtG1521 PeterG4074 inG1521. 1725ThenG3767 the slaveG3814 womanG3814 who was the doorkeeperG2377 saidG3004 to PeterG4074, “26You are not alsoG2532 one of thisG3778 Man’sG444 disciplesG3101, are you?” He saidG3004, “I amG1510 not.” 18NowG1161 the slavesG1401 and the 27officersG5257 were standingG2476 there, having madeG4160 28a charcoalG439 fireG439, for it was coldG5592 and they were 29warmingG2328 themselves; and PeterG4074 was alsoG2532 with them, standingG2476 and warmingG2328 himself.

1930The highG749 priestG749 thenG3767 questionedG2065 JesusG2424 aboutG4012 His disciplesG3101, and aboutG4012 His teachingG1322. 20JesusG2424 answeredG611 him, “I 31have spokenG2980 openlyG3954 to the worldG2889; I alwaysG3842 32taughtG1321 in 33synagoguesG4864 and 34in the templeG2413 area, whereG3699 allG3956 the JewsG2453 congregateG4905; and I saidG2980 nothingG3762 in secretG2927. 21WhyG5101 are you askingG2065 Me? AskG2065 thoseG3588 who have heardG191 whatG5101 I spokeG2980 to them. LookG2396: theseG3778 peopleG3778 knowG3609 whatG3739 I saidG3004.” 22But when He saidG3004 thisG3778, oneG1520 of the 35officersG5257, who was standingG3936 nearbyG3936, 36struckG1325G4475 JesusG2424, sayingG3004, “Is that the wayG3779 You answerG611 the highG749 priestG749?” 2337JesusG2424 answeredG611 him, “IfG1487 I have spokenG2980 wronglyG2560, testifyG3140 of the wrongG2556; but ifG1487 rightlyG2573, whyG5101 do you strikeG1194 Me?”
