John 18 :: New American Standard Bible 1995 (NASB95)

Judas Betrays Jesus

(Mat 26:47–56; Mar 14:43–52; Luk 22:47–53 )

Jhn 18:1When Jesus had spoken these words, He went forth with His disciples over the [fn]ravine of the Kidron, where there was a garden, in which He entered [fn]with His disciples.

Jhn 18:2

Jhn 18:2Now Judas also, who was [fn]betraying Him, knew the place, for Jesus had often met there with His disciples.

Jhn 18:3

Jhn 18:3Judas then, having received the Roman [fn]cohort and officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, *came there with lanterns and torches and weapons.

Jhn 18:4

Jhn 18:4So Jesus, knowing all the things that were coming upon Him, went forth and *said to them, “Whom do you seek?”

Jhn 18:5

Jhn 18:5They answered Him, “Jesus the Nazarene.” He *said to them, “I am He.” And Judas also, who was betraying Him, was standing with them.

Jhn 18:6

Jhn 18:6So when He said to them, “I am He,” they drew back and fell to the ground.

Jhn 18:7

Jhn 18:7Therefore He again asked them, “Whom do you seek?” And they said, “Jesus the Nazarene.”

Jhn 18:8

Jhn 18:8Jesus answered, “I told you that I am He; so if you seek Me, let these go their way,”

Jhn 18:9

Jhn 18:9to fulfill the word which He spoke, “Of those whom You have given Me I lost not one.”

Jhn 18:10

Jhn 18:10Simon 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.

Jhn 18:11

Jhn 18:11So 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

Jhn 18:12

Jhn 18:12So the Roman [fn]cohort and the [fn]commander and the officers of the Jews, arrested Jesus and bound Him,

Jhn 18:13

Jhn 18:13and led Him to Annas first; for he was father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.

Jhn 18:14

Jhn 18:14Now Caiaphas was the one who had advised the Jews that it was expedient for one man to die on behalf of the people.

(Mat 26:69–75; Mar 14:66–72; Luk 22:54–62 )

Jhn 18:15

Jhn 18:15Simon 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,

Jhn 18:16

Jhn 18:16but 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.

Jhn 18:17

Jhn 18:17Then 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.”

Jhn 18:18

Jhn 18:18Now 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.

Jhn 18:19

Jhn 18:19The high priest then questioned Jesus about His disciples, and about His teaching.

Jhn 18:20

Jhn 18:20Jesus answered him, “I have spoken openly to the world; I always taught in [fn]synagogues and in the temple, where all the Jews come together; and I spoke nothing in secret.

Jhn 18:21

Jhn 18:21“Why do you question Me? Question those who have heard what I spoke to them; they know what I said.”

Jhn 18:22

Jhn 18:22When He had said this, one of the officers standing nearby struck Jesus, saying, “Is that the way You answer the high priest?”

Jhn 18:23

Jhn 18:23Jesus answered him, “If I have spoken wrongly, testify of the wrong; but if rightly, why do you strike Me?”

Jhn 18:24

Jhn 18:24So Annas sent Him bound to Caiaphas the high priest.

Peter's Denial of Jesus

Jhn 18:25

Jhn 18:25Now 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.”

Jhn 18:26

Jhn 18:26One 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?”

Jhn 18:27

Jhn 18:27Peter then denied it again, and immediately a rooster crowed.

Jesus before Pilate

(Mat 27:1, 2, 11–14; Mar 15:1–5; Luk 23:1–5 )

Jhn 18:28

Jhn 18:28Then they *led Jesus from Caiaphas into the [fn]Praetorium, and it was early; and they themselves did not enter into the [fn]Praetorium so that they would not be defiled, but might eat the Passover.

Jhn 18:29

Jhn 18:29Therefore Pilate went out to them and *said, “What accusation do you bring against this Man?”

Jhn 18:30

Jhn 18:30They answered and said to him, “If this Man were not an evildoer, we would not have delivered Him to you.”

Jhn 18:31

Jhn 18:31So 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,”

Jhn 18:32

Jhn 18:32to fulfill the word of Jesus which He spoke, signifying by what kind of death He was about to die.

Jhn 18:33

Jhn 18:33Therefore Pilate entered again into the Praetorium, and summoned Jesus and said to Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?”

Jhn 18:34

Jhn 18:34Jesus answered, “Are you saying this [fn]on your own initiative, or did others tell you about Me?”

Jhn 18:35

Jhn 18:35Pilate answered, “I am not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests delivered You to me; what have You done?”

Jhn 18:36

Jhn 18:36Jesus answered, “My kingdom [fn]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 [fn]of this realm.”

Jhn 18:37

Jhn 18:37Therefore 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.”

Jhn 18:38

Jhn 18:38Pilate *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.

(Mat 27:15–23; Mar 15:6–14; Luk 23:13–23 )

Jhn 18:39

Jhn 18:39“But you have a custom that I release someone [fn]for you at the Passover; do you wish then that I release [fn]for you the King of the Jews?”

Jhn 18:40

Jhn 18:40So they cried out again, saying, “Not this Man, but Barabbas.” Now Barabbas was a robber.
