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 brook Kedron, where was a garden, into which he entered, and his disciples.

Jhn 18:2

Jhn 18:2And Judas also, who betrayed him, knew the place: for Jesus often resorted thither with his disciples.

Jhn 18:3

Jhn 18:3Judas then, having received a band of men and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns, and torches, and weapons.

Jhn 18:4

Jhn 18:4Jesus therefore, knowing all things that were coming upon him, went forth, and said to them, Whom seek ye?

Jhn 18:5

Jhn 18:5They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith to them, I am he. And Judas also, who betrayed him, stood with them.

Jhn 18:6

Jhn 18:6As soon then as he had said to them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground.

Jhn 18:7

Jhn 18:7Then he asked them again, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth.

Jhn 18:8

Jhn 18:8Jesus answered, I have told you that I am he: If therefore ye seek me, let these go away:

Jhn 18:9

Jhn 18:9That the saying might be fulfilled which he spoke, Of them whom thou gavest to me, I have lost none.

Jhn 18:10

Jhn 18:10Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it, and smote the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus.

Jhn 18:11

Jhn 18:11Then said Jesus to Peter, Put up thy sword into the sheath: the cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?

Jesus before the Priests

Jhn 18:12

Jhn 18:12Then the band, and the captain, and officers of the Jews took Jesus, and bound him,

Jhn 18:13

Jhn 18:13And led him away to Annas first, (for he was father-in-law to Caiaphas, who was the high priest that same year.)

Jhn 18:14

Jhn 18:14Now Caiaphas was he who gave counsel to the Jews, that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.

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

Jhn 18:15

Jhn 18:15And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple. That disciple was known to the high priest, and went in with Jesus into the palace of the high priest.

Jhn 18:16

Jhn 18:16But Peter stood at the door without. Then went out that other disciple who was known to the high priest, and spoke to her that kept the door, and brought in Peter.

Jhn 18:17

Jhn 18:17Then saith the damsel that kept the door to Peter, Art not thou also one of this man's disciples? He saith, I am not.

Jhn 18:18

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

Jhn 18:19

Jhn 18:19The high priest then asked Jesus concerning his disciples, and concerning his doctrine.

Jhn 18:20

Jhn 18:20Jesus answered him, I spoke openly to the world; I ever taught in the synagogue and in the temple, whither the Jews always resort; and in secret have I said nothing.

Jhn 18:21

Jhn 18:21Why dost thou ask me? ask them who heard me, what I have said to them: behold, they know what I have said.

Jhn 18:22

Jhn 18:22And when he had thus spoken, one of the officers who stood by, struck Jesus with the palm of his hand, saying, Answerest thou the high priest so?

Jhn 18:23

Jhn 18:23Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear testimony of the evil: but if well, why smitest thou me?

Jhn 18:24

Jhn 18:24(Now Annas had sent him bound to Caiaphas the high priest.)

Peter's Denial of Jesus

Jhn 18:25

Jhn 18:25And Simon Peter stood and warmed himself. They said therefore to him, Art not thou also one of his disciples? He denied it, and said, I am not.

Jhn 18:26

Jhn 18:26One of the servants of the high priest (being the kinsman of him whose ear Peter cut off) saith, Did not I see thee in the garden with him?

Jhn 18:27

Jhn 18:27Peter then denied again, and immediately the cock 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 to the hall of judgment: and it was early; and they themselves went not into the judgment-hall, lest they should be defiled; but that they might eat the passover.

Jhn 18:29

Jhn 18:29Pilate then went out to them, and said, What accusation bring ye against this man?

Jhn 18:30

Jhn 18:30They answered and said to him, If he were not a malefactor, we would not have delivered him up to thee.

Jhn 18:31

Jhn 18:31Then said Pilate to them, Take ye him, and judge him according to your law. The Jews therefore said to him, It is not lawful for us to put any man to death:

Jhn 18:32

Jhn 18:32That the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spoke, signifying what death he should die.

Jhn 18:33

Jhn 18:33Then Pilate entered into the judgment-hall again, and called Jesus, and said to him, Art thou the King of the Jews?

Jhn 18:34

Jhn 18:34Jesus answered him, Sayest thou this thing from thyself, or did others tell it thee concerning me?

Jhn 18:35

Jhn 18:35Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thy own nation, and the chief priests, have delivered thee to me: What hast thou done?

Jhn 18:36

Jhn 18:36Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.

Jhn 18:37

Jhn 18:37Pilate therefore said to him, Art thou a King then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a King. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should testify to the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.

Jhn 18:38

Jhn 18:38Pilate saith to him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again to the Jews, and saith to them, I find in him no fault.

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

Jhn 18:39

Jhn 18:39But ye have a custom that I should release to you one at the passover: will ye therefore that I release to you the King of the Jews?

Jhn 18:40

Jhn 18:40Then they all cried again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.
