John 18 :: Darby Translation (DBY)

Jhn 18:1Jesus, having said these things, went out with his disciples beyond the torrent Cedron, where was a garden, into which he entered, he and his disciples.
Jhn 18:2And Judas also, who delivered him up, knew the place, because Jesus was often there, in company with his disciples.
Jhn 18:3Judas therefore, having got the band, and officers of the chief priests and Pharisees, comes there with lanterns and torches and weapons.
Jhn 18:4Jesus therefore, knowing all things that were coming upon him, went forth and said to them, Whom seek ye?
Jhn 18:5They answered him, Jesus the Nazaraean. Jesus says to them, I am he. And Judas also, who delivered him up, stood with them.
Jhn 18:6When therefore he said to them, I am he, they went away backward and fell to the ground.
Jhn 18:7He demanded of them therefore again, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus the Nazaraean.
Jhn 18:8Jesus answered, I told you that I am he: if therefore ye seek me, let these go away;
Jhn 18:9that the word might be fulfilled which he spoke, As to those whom thou hast given me, I have not lost one of them.
Jhn 18:10Simon Peter therefore, having a sword, drew it, and smote the bondman of the high priest and cut off his right ear; and the bondman's name was Malchus.
Jhn 18:11Jesus therefore 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

Jhn 18:12The band therefore, and the chiliarch, and the officers of the Jews, took Jesus and bound him:
Jhn 18:13and they led him away to Annas first; for he was father-in-law to Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.
Jhn 18:14But it was Caiaphas who counselled the Jews that it was better that one man should perish for the people.
Jhn 18:15Now Simon Peter followed Jesus, and the other disciple. But that disciple was known to the high priest, and went in with Jesus into the palace of the high priest;
Jhn 18:16but Peter stood at the door without. The other disciple therefore, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to the porteress and brought in Peter.
Jhn 18:17The maid therefore, who was porteress, says to Peter, Art thou also of the disciples of this man? He says, I am not.
Jhn 18:18But the bondmen and officers, having made a fire of coals (for it was cold), stood and warmed themselves; and Peter was standing with them and warming himself.
Jhn 18:19The high priest therefore demanded of Jesus concerning his disciples and concerning his doctrine.
Jhn 18:20Jesus answered him, I spoke openly to the world; I taught always in the synagogue and in the temple, where all the Jews come together, and in secret I have spoken nothing.
Jhn 18:21Why demandest thou of me? Demand of those who have heard, what I have spoken to them; behold, they know what I have said.
Jhn 18:22But as he said these things, one of the officers who stood by gave a blow on the face to Jesus, saying, Answerest thou the high priest thus?
Jhn 18:23Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil; but if well, why smitest thou me?
Jhn 18:24Annas then had sent him bound to Caiaphas the high priest.

Peter's Denial of Jesus

Jhn 18:25But Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They said therefore to him, Art thou also of his disciples? He denied, and said, I am not.
Jhn 18:26One of the bondmen of the high priest, who was kinsman of him whose ear Peter cut off, says, Did not I see thee in the garden with him?
Jhn 18:27Peter denied therefore again, and immediately the cock crew.

Jesus before Pilate

Jhn 18:28They lead therefore Jesus from Caiaphas to the praetorium; and it was early morn. And *they* entered not into the praetorium, that they might not be defiled, but eat the passover.
Jhn 18:29Pilate therefore went out to them and said, What accusation do ye bring against this man?
Jhn 18:30They answered and said to him, If this man were not an evildoer, we should not have delivered him up to thee.
Jhn 18:31Pilate therefore said to them, Take him, ye, and judge him according to your law. The Jews therefore said to him, It is not permitted to us to put any one to death;
Jhn 18:32that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled which he spoke, signifying what death he should die.
Jhn 18:33Pilate therefore entered again into the praetorium and called Jesus, and said to him, Thou art the king of the Jews?
Jhn 18:34Jesus answered him, Dost thou say this of thyself, or have others said it to thee concerning me?
Jhn 18:35Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thy nation and the chief priests have delivered thee up to me: what hast thou done?
Jhn 18:36Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world; if my kingdom were of this world, my servants had fought that I might not be delivered up to the Jews; but now my kingdom is not from hence.
Jhn 18:37Pilate therefore said to him, Thou art then a king? Jesus answered, Thou sayest it, that I am a king. I have been born for this, and for this I have come into the world, that I might bear witness to the truth. Every one that is of the truth hears my voice.
Jhn 18:38Pilate says to him, What is truth? And having said this he went out again to the Jews, and says to them, I find no fault whatever in him.
Jhn 18:39But ye have a custom that I release some one to you at the passover; will ye therefore that I release unto you the king of the Jews?
Jhn 18:40They cried therefore again all, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.

In 1867, John Nelson Darby translated the New Testament from Greek into English. Further revisions were done in 1872 and 1884. Darby’s work was first published as The Holy Scriptures: A New Translation from the Original Languages by J. N. Darby. After Darby’s death in 1882, some of his students worked together to produce the complete Darby Bible based on the Masoretic Hebrew text, Darby’s German (Elberfelder), and the French (Pau) translations. In 1890, the first complete Darby Bible was published in English. This translation of the Bible is in the public domain.
