John 18
1When JesusG3588G2424 had spokenG3004 these wordsG3778, he went forthG1831 withG4862 hisG846 disciplesG3588G3101 overG4008 the brookG3588G5493 KidronG2748, whereG3699 wasG1510 a gardenG2779, intoG1519 the whichG3739 heG846 enteredG1525, andG2532 hisG846 disciplesG3588G3101. 2AndG1161 JudasG2455 alsoG2532, whichG3588 betrayedG3860 himG846, knewG1492 the placeG3588G5117: forG3754 JesusG3588G2424 ofttimesG4178 resortedG4863 thitherG1563 withG3326 hisG846 disciplesG3588G3101. 3JudasG2455 thenG3767, having receivedG2983 a bandG3588G4686 of men andG2532 officersG5257 fromG1537 the chief priestsG3588G749 andG2532 PhariseesG5330, comethG2064 thitherG1563 withG3326 lanternsG5322 andG2532 torchesG2985 andG2532 weaponsG3696. 4JesusG2424 thereforeG3767, knowingG1492 all thingsG3956 thatG3588 should comeG2064 uponG1909 himG846, went forthG1831, and saidG3004 unto themG846, WhomG5101 seek yeG2212? 5They answeredG611 himG846, JesusG2424 of NazarethG3588G3480. JesusG3588G2424 saithG3004 unto themG846, IG1473 amG1510 he. AndG1161 JudasG2455 alsoG2532, whichG3588 betrayedG3860 himG846, stoodG2476 withG3326 themG846. 6As soonG5613 thenG3767 as he had saidG3004 unto themG846, IG1473 amG1510 he, they wentG565 backwardG3694, andG2532 fellG4098 to the groundG5476. 7ThenG3767 asked heG1905 themG846 againG3825, WhomG5101 seek yeG2212? AndG1161 they saidG3004, JesusG2424 of NazarethG3588G3480. 8JesusG3588G2424 answeredG611, I have toldG3004 youG4771 thatG3754 IG1473 amG1510 he: ifG1487 thereforeG3767 ye seekG2212 meG1473, letG863 theseG3778 go their wayG5217: 9ThatG2443 the sayingG3588G3056 might be fulfilledG4137, whichG3739 he spakeG3004, OfG1537 themG846 whichG3739 thou gavestG1325 meG1473 have I lostG622 noneG3762. 10ThenG3767 SimonG4613 PeterG4074 havingG2192 a swordG3162 drewG1670 itG846, andG2532 smoteG3817 the high priest’sG3588G749 servantG1401, andG2532 cut offG609 hisG846 rightG1188 earG3588G5621. The servant’sG3588G1401 nameG3686 wasG1510 MalchusG3124. 11ThenG3767 saidG3004 JesusG3588G2424 unto PeterG3588G4074, Put upG906 thyG4771 swordG3588G3162 intoG1519 the sheathG3588G2336: the cupG3588G4221 whichG3739 myG3588 FatherG3962 hath givenG1325 meG1473, shall IG846 notG3756 drinkG4095 itG846? 12ThenG3767 the bandG4686 andG2532 the captainG3588G5506 andG2532 officersG3588G5257 of the JewsG2453 tookG4815 JesusG3588G2424, andG2532 boundG1210 himG846, 13AndG2532 ledG520 himG846 awayG520 toG4314 AnnasG452 firstG4412; forG1063 he wasG1510 father in lawG3995 to CaiaphasG3588G2533, whichG3739 wasG1510 the high priestG749 that sameG1565 yearG3588G1763. 14NowG1161 CaiaphasG2533 wasG1510 he, whichG3588 gave counselG4823 to the JewsG2453, thatG3754 it was expedient thatG4851 oneG1520 manG444 should dieG622 forG5228 the peopleG3588G2992.
15AndG1161 SimonG4613 PeterG4074 followedG190 JesusG3588G2424, andG2532 so did anotherG3588G243 discipleG3101: thatG1565 discipleG3588G3101 wasG1510 knownG1110 unto the high priestG3588G749, andG2532 went in withG4897 JesusG3588G2424 intoG1519 the palaceG3588G833 of the high priestG3588G749. 16ButG1161 PeterG4074 stoodG2476 atG4314 the doorG3588G2374 withoutG1854. ThenG3767 went outG1831 thatG3588 otherG243 discipleG3588G3101, whichG3739 wasG1510 knownG1110 unto the high priestG3588G749, andG2532 spakeG3004 unto her that kept the doorG3588G2377, andG2532 brought inG1521 PeterG3588G4074. 17ThenG3767 saithG3004 the damselG3588G3814 thatG1565 kept the doorG3588G2377 unto PeterG3588G4074, ArtG1510 notG3361 thouG4771 alsoG2532 one ofG1537 thisG3778 man’sG3588G444 disciplesG3588G3101? He saithG3004, I amG1510 notG3756. 18AndG1161 the servantsG3588G1401 andG2532 officersG3588G5257 stood thereG2476, who had madeG4160 a fire of coalsG439; forG3754 it wasG1510 coldG5592: andG2532 they warmed themselvesG2328: andG1161 PeterG3588G4074 stoodG2476 withG3326 themG846, andG2532 warmed himselfG2328. 19
The high priestG749 thenG3767 askedG2065 JesusG3588G2424 ofG4012 hisG846 disciplesG3588G3101, andG2532 ofG4012 hisG846 doctrineG3588G1322. 20JesusG3588G2424 answeredG611 himG846, IG1473 spakeG2980 openlyG3954 to the worldG3588G2889; IG1473 everG3842 taughtG1321 inG1722 the synagogueG3588G4864, andG2532 inG1722 the templeG3588G2411, whitherG3699 the JewsG2453 alwaysG3842 resortG4905; andG2532 inG1722 secretG2927 have I saidG2980 nothingG3762. 21WhyG5101 askest thouG1905 meG1473? askG1905 them whichG3588 heard meG191, whatG5101 I have saidG2980 unto themG846: beholdG3708, theyG3778 knowG1492 whatG3739 IG1473 saidG3004. 22And whenG1161 heG846 hadG3004 thusG3778 spokenG3004, oneG1520 of the officersG3588G5257 which stood byG3936 struckG1325 JesusG3588G2424 with the palm of his handG4475, sayingG3004, Answerest thouG611 the high priestG3588G749 soG3779? 23JesusG3588G2424 answeredG611 himG846, IfG1487 I have spokenG2980 evilG2560, bear witnessG3140 ofG4012 the evilG2556: butG1161 ifG1487 wellG2573, whyG5101 smitest thouG1194 meG1473? 24Now AnnasG3588G452 had sentG649 himG846 boundG1210 untoG4314 CaiaphasG2533 the high priestG3588G749. 25AndG1161 SimonG4613 PeterG4074 stoodG2476 andG2532 warmed himselfG2328. They saidG3004 thereforeG3767 unto himG846, ArtG1510 notG3361 thouG4771 alsoG2532 one ofG1537 hisG846 disciplesG3588G3101? HeG1565 deniedG720 it, andG2532 saidG3004, I amG1510 notG3756. 26OneG1520 ofG1537 the servantsG3588G1401 of the high priestG3588G749, beingG1510 his kinsmanG4773 whoseG3739 earG3588G5621 PeterG4074 cut offG609, saithG3004, DidG3708 notG3756 IG1473 seeG3708 theeG4771 inG1722 the gardenG3588G2779 withG3326 himG846? 27PeterG3588G4074 thenG3767 deniedG720 againG3825: andG2532 immediatelyG2112 the cockG220 crewG5455. 28
ThenG3767 led theyG71 JesusG3588G2424 fromG575 CaiaphasG3588G2533 untoG1519 the hall of judgmentG3588G4232: andG1161 it wasG1510 earlyG4405; andG2532 theyG1525 themselvesG846 wentG1525 notG3756 intoG1519 the judgment hallG3588G4232, lestG2443 they should be defiledG3392; butG235 thatG2443 they might eatG5315 the passoverG3957. 29PilateG3588G4091 thenG3767 went outG1831 untoG4314 themG846, andG2532 saidG3004, WhatG5101 accusationG2724 bring yeG5342 againstG2596 thisG3778 manG3588G444? 30They answeredG611 andG2532 saidG3004 unto himG846, IfG1487 heG3778 wereG1510 notG3361 a malefactorG2555, we wouldG3860 notG3756 have deliveredG3860 himG846 up unto theeG4771. 31ThenG3767 saidG3004 PilateG3588G4091 unto themG846, TakeG2983 yeG4771 himG846, andG2532 judgeG2919 himG846 according toG2596 yourG4771 lawG3588G3551. The JewsG2453 thereforeG3767 said untoG3004 himG846, It isG1832 notG3756 lawful for usG1473 to putG615 any manG3762 to deathG615: 32ThatG2443 the sayingG3588G3056 of JesusG3588G2424 might be fulfilledG4137, whichG3739 he spakeG3004, signifyingG4591 whatG4169 deathG2288 he shouldG3195 dieG599. 33ThenG3767 PilateG3588G4091 enteredG1525 intoG1519 the judgment hallG3588G4232 againG3825, andG2532 calledG5455 JesusG3588G2424, andG2532 saidG3004 unto himG846, ArtG1510 thouG4771 the KingG3588G935 of the JewsG2453? 34JesusG3588G2424 answeredG611 himG846, SayestG3004 thouG4771 this thingG3778 ofG575 thyselfG1438, orG2228 did othersG243 tell itG3004 theeG4771 ofG4012 meG1473? 35PilateG3588G4091 answeredG611, AmG1510 IG1473 a JewG2453? Thine ownG4674 nationG3588G1484 andG2532 the chief priestsG3588G749 have deliveredG3860 theeG4771 unto meG1473: whatG5101 hast thou doneG4160? 36JesusG3588G2424 answeredG611, MyG3588G1699 kingdomG3588G932 isG1510 notG3756 ofG1537 thisG3778 worldG3588G2889: ifG1487 myG3588G1699 kingdomG3588G932 wereG1510 ofG1537 thisG3778 worldG3588G2889, then wouldG302 myG3588G1699 servantsG3588G5257 fightG75, thatG2443 I shouldG3860 notG3361 be deliveredG3860 to the JewsG3588G2453: butG1161 nowG3568 isG1510 myG3588G1699 kingdomG3588G932 notG3756 from henceG1782. 37PilateG3588G4091 thereforeG3767 saidG3004 unto himG846, ArtG1510 thouG4771 a kingG935 thenG3766? JesusG3588G2424 answeredG611, ThouG4771 sayestG3004 thatG3754 IG1473 amG1510 a kingG935. ToG1519 this endG3778 wasG1080 IG1473 bornG1080, andG2532 forG1519 this causeG3778 came IG2064 intoG1519 the worldG3588G2889, thatG2443 I should bear witnessG3140 unto the truthG3588G225. Every oneG3956 that isG1510 ofG1537 the truthG3588G225 hearethG191 myG1473 voiceG3588G5456. 38PilateG3588G4091 saithG3004 unto himG846, WhatG5101 isG1510 truthG225? AndG2532 when he had saidG3004 thisG3778, he went outG1831 againG3825 untoG4314 the JewsG2453, andG2532 saithG3004 unto themG846, IG1473 findG2147 inG1722 himG846 noG3762 faultG156 at all. 39ButG1161 ye haveG1510 a customG4914, thatG2443 I should releaseG630 untoG4771 youG4771 oneG1520 atG1722 the passoverG3957: will yeG1014 thereforeG3767 that I releaseG630 unto youG4771 the KingG3588G935 of the JewsG2453? 40ThenG3767 cried theyG2905 allG3956 againG3825, sayingG3004, NotG3361 this manG3778, butG235 BarabbasG3588G912. NowG1161 BarabbasG3588G912 wasG1510 a robberG3027.
