018:001

And Judas also, which betrayed him, knew the place: for Jesus ofttimes resorted thither with his disciples

018:002

Judas then, having received a band of men and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns and torches and weapons

018:003

Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said unto them, Whom seek ye

018:004

They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, I am he. And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with them

018:005

As soon then as he had said unto them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground

018:006

Then asked he them again, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth

018:007

Jesus answered, I have told you that I am he: if therefore ye seek me, let these go their way

018:008

That the saying might be fulfilled, which he spake, Of them which thou gavest me have I lost none

018:009

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

018:010

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

018:011

Then the band and the captain and officers of the Jews took Jesus, and bound him

018:012

And led him away to Annas first; for he was father in law to Caiaphas, which was the high priest that same year

018:013

Now Caiaphas was he, which gave counsel to the Jews, that it was expedient that one man should die for the people

018:014

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

018:015

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

018:016

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

018:017

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

018:018

The high priest then asked Jesus of his disciples, and of his doctrine

018:019

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

018:020

Why askest thou me? ask them which heard me, what I have said unto them: behold, they know what I said

018:021

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

018:022

Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil: but if well, why smitest thou me

018:023

Now Annas had sent him bound unto Caiaphas the high priest

018:024

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

018:025

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

018:026

Peter then denied again: and immediately the cock crew

018:027

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

018:028

Pilate then went out unto them, and said, What accusation bring ye against this man

018:029

They answered and said unto him, If he were not a malefactor, we would not have delivered him up unto thee

018:030

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

018:031

That the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spake, signifying what death he should die

018:032

Then Pilate entered into the judgment hall again, and called Jesus, and said unto him, Art thou the King of the Jews

018:033

Jesus answered him, Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or did others tell it thee of me

018:034

Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thine own nation and the chief priests have delivered thee unto me: what hast thou done

018:035

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

018:036

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

018:037

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

018:038

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

018:039

Then cried they all again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber
