John 18

When Jesus had spoken these words, He went out with His disciples over the Brook Kidron, where there was a garden, which He and His disciples entered. 2 And Judas, who betrayed Him, also knew the place; for Jesus often met there with His disciples. 3 Then Judas, having received a detachment of troops, and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, came there with lanterns, torches, and weapons. 4 Jesus therefore, knowing all things that would come upon Him, went forward and said to them, “Whom are you seeking?”

5 They answered Him, “Jesus of Nazareth.”

Jesus said to them, “I am He.” And Judas, who betrayed Him, also stood with them. 6 Now when He said to them, “I am He,” they drew back and fell to the ground.

7 Then He asked them again, “Whom are you seeking?”

And they said, “Jesus of Nazareth.”

8 Jesus answered, “I have told you that I am He. Therefore, if you seek Me, let these go their way,” 9 that the saying might be fulfilled which He spoke, “Of those whom You gave Me I have lost none.”

10 Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it and struck the high priest’s servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant’s name was Malchus.

11 So Jesus said to Peter, “Put your sword into the sheath. Shall I not drink the cup which My Father has given Me?”

12 Then the detachment of troops and the captain and the officers of the Jews arrested Jesus and bound Him. 13 And they led Him away to Annas first, for he was the father-in-law of Caiaphas who was high priest that year. 14 Now it was Caiaphas who advised the Jews that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.

15 And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple. Now that disciple was known to the high priest, and went with Jesus into the courtyard of the high priest. 16 But Peter stood at the door outside. Then the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to her who kept the door, and brought Peter in. 17 Then the servant girl who kept the door said to Peter, “You are not also one of this Man’s disciples, are you?”

He said, “I am not.”

18 Now the servants and officers who had made a fire of coals stood there, for it was cold, and they warmed themselves. And Peter stood with them and warmed himself.

19 The high priest then asked Jesus about His disciples and His doctrine.

20 Jesus answered him, “I spoke openly to the world. I always taught in synagogues and in the temple, where the Jews always meet, and in secret I have said nothing. 21 Why do you ask Me? Ask those who have heard Me what I said to them. Indeed they know what I said.”

22 And when He had said these things, one of the officers who stood by struck Jesus with the palm of his hand, saying, “Do You answer the high priest like that?”

23 Jesus answered him, “If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil; but if well, why do you strike Me?”

24 Then Annas sent Him bound to Caiaphas the high priest.

25 Now Simon Peter stood and warmed himself. Therefore they said to him, “You are not also one of His disciples, are you?”

He denied it and said, “I am not!”

26 One of the servants of the high priest, a relative of him whose ear Peter cut off, said, “Did I not see you in the garden with Him?” 27 Peter then denied again; and immediately a rooster crowed.

28 Then they led Jesus from Caiaphas to the Praetorium, and it was early morning. But they themselves did not go into the Praetorium, lest they should be defiled, but that they might eat the Passover. 29 Pilate then went out to them and said, “What accusation do you bring against this Man?”

30 They answered and said to him, “If He were not an evildoer, we would not have delivered Him up to you.”

31 Then Pilate said to them, “You take Him and judge Him according to your law.”

Therefore the Jews said to him, “It is not lawful for us to put anyone to death,” 32 that the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled which He spoke, signifying by what death He would die.

33 Then Pilate entered the Praetorium again, called Jesus, and said to Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?”

34 Jesus answered him, “Are you speaking for yourself about this, or did others tell you this concerning Me?”

35 Pilate answered, “Am I a Jew? Your own nation and the chief priests have delivered You to me. What have You done?”

36 Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight, so that I should not be delivered to the Jews; but now My kingdom is not from here.”

37 Pilate therefore said to Him, “Are You a king then?”

Jesus answered, “You say rightly that I am a king. For this cause I was born, and for this cause I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice.”

38 Pilate said to Him, “What is truth?” And when he had said this, he went out again to the Jews, and said to them, “I find no fault in Him at all.

39 “But you have a custom that I should release someone to you at the Passover. Do you therefore want me to release to you the King of the Jews?”

40 Then they all cried again, saying, “Not this Man, but Barabbas!” Now Barabbas was a robber.

約翰福音 18

耶穌說了這話，就同門徒出去，過了汲淪溪。在那裡有一個園子，他和門徒進去了。 2 賣耶穌的猶大也知道那地方，因為耶穌和門徒屢次上那裡去聚集。 3 猶大領了一隊兵，和祭司長並法利賽人的差役拿著燈籠、火把、兵器，就來到園裡。 4 耶穌知道將要臨到自己的一切事，就出來對他們說：「你們找誰？」 5 他們回答說：「找拿撒勒人耶穌。」耶穌說：「我就是。」賣他的猶大也同他們站在那裡。 6 耶穌一說「我就是」，他們就退後倒在地上。 7 他又問他們說：「你們找誰？」他們說：「找拿撒勒人耶穌。」 8 耶穌說：「我已經告訴你們：我就是。你們若找我，就讓這些人去吧！」 9 這要應驗耶穌從前的話說：「你所賜給我的人，我沒有失落一個。」 10 西門彼得帶著一把刀，就拔出來，將大祭司的僕人砍了一刀，削掉他的右耳。那僕人名叫馬勒古。 11 耶穌就對彼得說：「收刀入鞘吧！我父所給我的那杯，我豈可不喝呢？」

12 那隊兵和千夫長並猶太人的差役就拿住耶穌，把他捆綁了， 13 先帶到亞那面前，因為亞那是本年做大祭司該亞法的岳父。 14 這該亞法就是從前向猶太人發議論說「一個人替百姓死是有益的」那位。

15 西門彼得跟著耶穌，還有一個門徒跟著。那門徒是大祭司所認識的，他就同耶穌進了大祭司的院子， 16 彼得卻站在門外。大祭司所認識的那個門徒出來，和看門的使女說了一聲，就領彼得進去。 17 那看門的使女對彼得說：「你不也是這人的門徒嗎？」他說：「我不是。」 18 僕人和差役因為天冷，就生了炭火，站在那裡烤火，彼得也同他們站著烤火。

19 大祭司就以耶穌的門徒和他的教訓盤問他。 20 耶穌回答說：「我從來是明明地對世人說話。我常在會堂和殿裡，就是猶太人聚集的地方教訓人，我在暗地裡並沒有說什麼。 21 你為什麼問我呢？可以問那聽見的人我對他們說的是什麼，我所說的，他們都知道。」 22 耶穌說了這話，旁邊站著的一個差役用手掌打他，說：「你這樣回答大祭司嗎？」 23 耶穌說：「我若說的不是，你可以指證那不是。我若說得是，你為什麼打我呢？」 24 亞那就把耶穌解到大祭司該亞法那裡，仍是捆著解去的。

25 西門彼得正站著烤火，有人對他說：「你不也是他的門徒嗎？」彼得不承認，說：「我不是。」 26 有大祭司的一個僕人，是彼得削掉耳朵那人的親屬，說：「我不是看見你同他在園子裡嗎？」 27 彼得又不承認。立時雞就叫了。

28 眾人將耶穌從該亞法那裡往衙門內解去，那時天還早。他們自己卻不進衙門，恐怕染了汙穢，不能吃逾越節的筵席。 29 彼拉多就出來，到他們那裡，說：「你們告這人是為什麼事呢？」 30 他們回答說：「這人若不是作惡的，我們就不把他交給你。」 31 彼拉多說：「你們自己帶他去，按著你們的律法審問他吧！」猶太人說：「我們沒有殺人的權柄。」 32 這要應驗耶穌所說自己將要怎樣死的話了。

33 彼拉多又進了衙門，叫耶穌來，對他說：「你是猶太人的王嗎？」 34 耶穌回答說：「這話是你自己說的，還是別人論我對你說的呢？」 35 彼拉多說：「我豈是猶太人呢？你本國的人和祭司長把你交給我。你做了什麼事呢？」 36 耶穌回答說：「我的國不屬這世界。我的國若屬這世界，我的臣僕必要爭戰，使我不至於被交給猶太人。只是我的國不屬這世界。」 37 彼拉多就對他說：「這樣，你是王嗎？」耶穌回答說：「你說我是王。我為此而生，也為此來到世間，特為給真理作見證。凡屬真理的人就聽我的話。」

38 彼拉多說：「真理是什麼呢？」說了這話，又出來到猶太人那裡，對他們說：「我查不出他有什麼罪來。 39 但你們有個規矩，在逾越節要我給你們釋放一個人，你們要我給你們釋放猶太人的王嗎？」 40 他們又喊著說：「不要這人！要巴拉巴！」這巴拉巴是個強盜。
