ULT YHN Chapter 18

18 Having spoken these things, Jesus went out with his disciples across the brook of the Kidron, where there was a garden into which he and his disciples entered. 2 Now Judas, the one betraying him, also knew the place, for Jesus often gathered there with his disciples. 3 So Judas, leading the cohort of soldiers and officers from the chief priests and from the Pharisees, comes there with lanterns and torches and weapons. 4 Then Jesus, knowing all the things happening to him, having gone out, asked them, “Whom do you seek?” 5 They answered him, “Jesus the Nazarene.” He says to them, “I am.” (Now Judas, the one betraying him, was also standing with them.) 6 So when he said to them, “I am,” they went backward and fell to the ground. 7 Then again he asked them, “Whom do you seek?” And they said, “Jesus the Nazarene.” 8 Jesus answered, “I told you that I am. So if you are seeking me, allow these to go away.” 9 (This was so that would be fulfilled the word that he said: “Of those you have given me, I lost none from among them.”) 10 Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it and struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his right ear. Now the name of the servant was Malchus. 11 Then Jesus said to Peter, “Put the sword into the sheath. The cup which the Father has given me, should I certainly not drink it?”

12 Then the cohort of soldiers and the commander and the officers of the Jews seized Jesus and tied him up. 13 And they led him first to Annas, for he was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was high priest that year. 14 (Now Caiaphas was the one having advised the Jews that it would be better for one man to die on behalf of the people.)

15 Now Simon Peter and another disciple followed Jesus. Now that disciple was known to the high priest, and he entered with Jesus into the courtyard of the high priest. 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 female doorkeeper, and he brought Peter in. 17 Then the female servant, the doorkeeper, says to Peter, “Are you not also from the disciples of this man?” He says, “I am not.” 18 (Now the servants and the officers were standing there, having made a charcoal fire, for it was cold, and they were warming themselves. But Peter was also with them, standing there and warming himself.)

19 Then the high priest asked Jesus about his disciples and about his teaching. 20 Jesus answered him, “I have spoken openly to the world. I was always teaching in a synagogue and in the temple where all the Jews come together, and I said nothing in secret. 21 Why do you ask me? Ask the ones having heard what I said to them. Behold, these people know what I said.” 22 Now he having said these things, one of the officers standing there gave Jesus a slap, saying, “Do you answer the high priest in this manner?” 23 Jesus answered him, “If I spoke wrongly, testify about the wrong, but if rightly, why do you strike me?” 24 Then Annas sent him, tied up, to Caiaphas the high priest.

25 Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. Then they said to him, “Are you not also from among his disciples?” He denied it and said, “I am not.” 26 One from among the servants of the high priest, who was a relative of the one whose ear Peter had cut off, says, “Did I not see you in the garden with him?” 27 Peter then denied it again, and immediately a rooster crowed.

28 Then they led Jesus from Caiaphas to the governor’s palace. (Now it was early in the morning, and they did not enter into the governor’s palace so that they would not be defiled, but might eat the Passover.) 29 Therefore, Pilate went out to them and says, “What accusation do you bring against this man?” 30 They answered and said to him, “If this one were not an evildoer, we would not have handed him over to you.” 31 Therefore, Pilate said to them, “Take him yourselves, and judge him according to your law.” The Jews said to him, “It is not lawful for us to put anyone to death.” 32 (This was so that the word of Jesus would be fulfilled which he spoke to indicate by what kind of death he was about to die.)

33 Then Pilate entered into the governor’s palace again and summoned Jesus and said to him, “Are you the King of the Jews?” 34 Jesus answered, “Do you speak this from yourself, or did others speak to you about me?” 35 Pilate answered, “I am not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests handed you over to me. What did you do?” 36 Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not from this world. If my kingdom were from this world, my servants would fight so that I would not be handed over to the Jews. But now my kingdom is not from here.” 37 Pilate then said to him, “So then, are you a king?” Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. For this I have been born, and for this I have come into the world, so that I would bear witness to the truth. Everyone being from the truth hears my voice.” 38 Pilate says to him, “What is truth?” And having said this, he went out again to the Jews and says to them, “I find no guilt in him. 39 But it is your custom that I would release one person to you at the Passover. Therefore, do you desire that I would release the King of the Jews to you?” 40 Then they cried out again, saying, “Not this one, but Barabbas.” (Now Barabbas was a robber.)
