Judas
Betrays Jesus |
|
|
 |
|
John 18:1
|
|
When Jesus had spoken these words, He went forth
with His disciples over the ravine of the Kidron, where there was a garden, in
which He entered with His disciples. |
|
|
|
|
|
John 18:2
|
|
Now Judas also, who was betraying Him, knew
the place, for Jesus had often met there with His disciples. |
| |
|
|
|
John 18:3
|
|
Judas then, having received the Roman cohort
and officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, *came
there with lanterns and torches and weapons. |
| |
|
|
|
John 18:4
|
|
So Jesus, knowing all the things that were coming
upon Him, went forth and *said to them, "Whom do you seek?"
|
| |
|
|
|
John 18:5
|
|
They answered Him, "Jesus the Nazarene." He
*said
to them, "I am He." And Judas also, who was betraying
Him, was standing with them. |
| |
|
|
|
John 18:6
|
|
So when He said to them, "I
am He," they drew back and fell to the ground. |
| |
|
|
|
John 18:7
|
|
Therefore He again asked them, "Whom
do you seek?" And they said, "Jesus the Nazarene." |
|
|
|
|
John 18:8
|
|
Jesus answered, "I told
you that I am He; so if you seek Me, let these go their way," |
|
|
|
|
John 18:9
|
|
to fulfill the word which He spoke, "Of
those whom You have given Me I lost not one." |
|
|
|
|
John 18:10
|
|
Simon Peter then, having a sword, drew it and
struck the high priest's slave, and cut off his right ear; and the slave's name
was Malchus. |
|
|
|
|
John 18:11
|
|
So Jesus said to Peter, "Put
the sword into the sheath; the cup which the Father has given Me, shall I not
drink it?" |
| |
|
|
| |
|
Jesus
before the Priests |
|
|
|
|
John 18:12
|
|
So the Roman cohort and the commander and the
officers of the Jews, arrested Jesus and bound Him, |
|
|
|
|
John 18:13
|
|
and led Him to Annas first; for he was father-in-law
of Caiaphas, who was high priest that year. |
|
|
|
|
John 18:14
|
|
Now Caiaphas was the one who had advised the
Jews that it was expedient for one man to die on behalf of the people. |
|
|
|
|
John 18:15
|
|
Simon Peter was following Jesus, and so was
another disciple. Now that disciple was known to the high priest, and entered
with Jesus into the court of the high priest, |
|
|
|
|
John 18:16
|
|
but Peter was standing at the door outside.
So the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to
the doorkeeper, and brought Peter in. |
|
|
|
|
John 18:17
|
|
Then the slave-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." |
|
|
|
|
John 18:18
|
|
Now the slaves and the officers were standing
there, having made a charcoal fire, for it was cold and they were warming themselves;
and Peter was also with them, standing and warming himself. |
|
|
|
|
John 18:19
|
|
The high priest then questioned Jesus about
His disciples, and about His teaching. |
| |
|
|
|
John 18:20
|
|
Jesus answered him, "I
have spoken openly to the world; I always taught in synagogues and in the temple,
where all the Jews come together; and I spoke nothing in secret. |
| |
|
|
|
John 18:21
|
|
Why do you question Me?
Question those who have heard what I spoke to them; they know what I said." |
|
|
|
|
|
John 18:22
|
|
When He had said this, one of the officers standing
nearby struck Jesus, saying, "Is that the way You answer the high priest?" |
|
|
|
|
|
John 18:23
|
|
Jesus answered him, "If
I have spoken wrongly, testify of the wrong; but if rightly, why do you strike
Me?" |
|
|
|
|
|
John 18:24
|
|
So Annas sent Him bound to Caiaphas the high
priest. |
| |
|
|
| |
|
Peter's
Denial of Jesus |
|
|
|
|
|
John 18:25
|
|
Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself.
So they said to him, "You are not also one of His disciples, are you?" He denied
it, and said, "I am not." |
|
|
|
|
|
John 18:26
|
|
One of the slaves of the high priest, being
a relative of the one whose ear Peter cut off, *said, "Did I not see you in the
garden with Him?" |
|
|
|
|
|
John 18:27
|
|
Peter then denied it again, and immediately
a rooster crowed. |
| |
|
|
| |
|
Jesus
before Pilate |
|
|
|
|
|
John 18:28
|
|
Then they *led Jesus from Caiaphas into the
Praetorium, and it was early; and they themselves did not enter into the Praetorium
so that they would not be defiled, but might eat the Passover. |
|
|
|
|
|
John 18:29
|
|
Therefore Pilate went out to them and *said,
"What accusation do you bring against this Man?" |
|
|
|
|
|
John 18:30
|
|
They answered and said to him, "If this Man
were not an evildoer, we would not have delivered Him to you." |
|
|
|
|
|
John 18:31
|
|
So Pilate said to them, "Take Him yourselves,
and judge Him according to your law." The Jews said to him, "We are not permitted
to put anyone to death," |
|
|
|
|
|
John 18:32
|
|
to fulfill the word of Jesus which He spoke,
signifying by what kind of death He was about to die. |
|
|
|
|
|
John 18:33
|
|
Therefore Pilate entered again into the Praetorium,
and summoned Jesus and said to Him, "Are You the King of the Jews?" |
|
|
|
|
|
John 18:34
|
|
Jesus answered, "Are you
saying this on your own initiative, or did others tell you about Me?" |
|
|
|
|
|
John 18:35
|
|
Pilate answered, "I am not a Jew, am I? Your
own nation and the chief priests delivered You to me; what have You done?" |
|
|
|
|
|
John 18:36
|
|
Jesus answered, "My kingdom
is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, then My servants would
be fighting so that I would not be handed over to the Jews; but as it is, My kingdom
is not of this realm." |
|
|
|
|
|
John 18:37
|
|
Therefore Pilate said to Him, "So You are a
king?" Jesus answered, "You say correctly that I am a king.
For this I have been born, and for this I have come into the world, to testify
to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice." |
|
|
|
|
|
John 18:38
|
|
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 guilt in Him. |
|
|
|
|
|
John 18:39
|
|
But you have a custom that I release someone
for you at the Passover; do you wish then that I release for you the King of the
Jews?" |
|
|
|
|
|
John 18:40
|
|
So they cried out again, saying, "Not this Man,
but Barabbas." Now Barabbas was a robber. |
