KJV
When Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with his disciples over the brook Cedron, where was a garden, into the which he entered, and his disciples.
2
KJV
And Judas also, which betrayed him, knew the place: for Jesus ofttimes resorted thither with his disciples.
3
KJV
Judas then, having received a band [of men] and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns and torches and weapons.
4
KJV
Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said unto them, Whom seek ye?
5
KJV
They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, I am [he]. And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with them.
6
KJV
As soon then as he had said unto them, I am [he], they went backward, and fell to the ground.
7
KJV
Then asked he them again, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth.
8
KJV
Jesus answered, I have told you that I am [he]: if therefore ye seek me, let these go their way:
9
KJV
That the saying might be fulfilled, which he spake, Of them which thou gavest me have I lost none.
10
KJV
Then Simon Peter having a sword drew it, and smote the high priest’s servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant’s name was Malchus.
11
KJV
Then said Jesus unto Peter, Put up thy sword into the sheath: the cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?
12
KJV
Then the band and the captain and officers of the Jews took Jesus, and bound him,
13
KJV
And led him away to Annas first; for he was father in law to Caiaphas, which was the high priest that same year.
14
KJV
Now Caiaphas was he, which gave counsel to the Jews, that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.
15
KJV
And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and [so did] another disciple: that disciple was known unto the high priest, and went in with Jesus into the palace of the high priest.
16
KJV
But Peter stood at the door without. Then went out that other disciple, which was known unto the high priest, and spake unto her that kept the door, and brought in Peter.
17
KJV
Then saith the damsel that kept the door unto Peter, Art not thou also [one] of this man’s disciples? He saith, I am not.
18
KJV
And the servants and officers stood there, who had made a fire of coals; for it was cold: and they warmed themselves: and Peter stood with them, and warmed himself.
19
KJV
The high priest then asked Jesus of his disciples, and of his doctrine.
20
KJV
Jesus answered him, I spake openly to the world; I ever taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither the Jews always resort; and in secret have I said nothing.
21
KJV
Why askest thou me? ask them which heard me, what I have said unto them: behold, they know what I said.
22
KJV
And when he had thus spoken, one of the officers which stood by struck Jesus with the palm of his hand, saying, Answerest thou the high priest so?
23
KJV
Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil: but if well, why smitest thou me?
24
KJV
Now Annas had sent him bound unto Caiaphas the high priest.
25
KJV
And Simon Peter stood and warmed himself. They said therefore unto him, Art not thou also [one] of his disciples? He denied [it], and said, I am not.
26
KJV
One of the servants of the high priest, being [his] kinsman whose ear Peter cut off, saith, Did not I see thee in the garden with him?
27
KJV
Peter then denied again: and immediately the cock crew.
28
KJV
Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas unto the hall of judgment: and it was early; and they themselves went not into the judgment hall, lest they should be defiled; but that they might eat the passover.
29
KJV
Pilate then went out unto them, and said, What accusation bring ye against this man?
30
KJV
They answered and said unto him, If he were not a malefactor, we would not have delivered him up unto thee.
31
KJV
Then said Pilate unto them, Take ye him, and judge him according to your law. The Jews therefore said unto him, It is not lawful for us to put any man to death:
32
KJV
That the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spake, signifying what death he should die.
33
KJV
Then Pilate entered into the judgment hall again, and called Jesus, and said unto him, Art thou the King of the Jews?
34
KJV
Jesus answered him, Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or did others tell it thee of me?
35
KJV
Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thine own nation and the chief priests have delivered thee unto me: what hast thou done?
36
KJV
Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.
37
KJV
Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.
38
KJV
Pilate saith unto him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them, I find in him no fault [at all].
39
KJV
But ye have a custom, that I should release unto you one at the passover: will ye therefore that I release unto you the King of the Jews?
40
KJV
Then cried they all again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.
