1 When he had finished praying, Jesus left with his disciples and crossed the Kidron Valley. On the other side there was a garden, and he and his disciples went into it.2 Now Judas, who betrayed him, knew the place, because Jesus had often met there with his disciples.3 So Judas came to the garden, guiding a detachment of soldiers and some officials from the chief priests and the Pharisees. They were carrying torches, lanterns and weapons.4 Jesus, knowing all that was going to happen to him, went out and asked them, "Who is it you want?"5 "Jesus of Nazareth," they replied. "I am he," Jesus said. (And Judas the traitor was standing there with them.)6 When Jesus said, "I am he," they drew back and fell to the ground.7 Again he asked them, "Who is it you want?" "Jesus of Nazareth," they said.8 Jesus answered, "I told you that I am he. If you are looking for me, then let these men go."9 This happened so that the words he had spoken would be fulfilled: "I have not lost one of those you gave me." [^1]10 Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it and struck the high priest's servant, cutting off his right ear. (The servant's name was Malchus.)11 Jesus commanded Peter, "Put your sword away! Shall I not drink the cup the Father has given me?"12 Then the detachment of soldiers with its commander and the Jewish officials arrested Jesus. They bound him13 and brought him first to Annas, who was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, the high priest that year.14 Caiaphas was the one who had advised the Jewish leaders that it would be good if one man died for the people.15 Simon Peter and another disciple were following Jesus. Because this disciple was known to the high priest, he went with Jesus into the high priest's courtyard,16 but Peter had to wait outside at the door. The other disciple, who was known to the high priest, came back, spoke to the servant girl on duty there and brought Peter in.17 "You aren't one of this man's disciples too, are you?" she asked Peter. He replied, "I am not."18 It was cold, and the servants and officials stood around a fire they had made to keep warm. Peter also was standing with them, warming himself.19 Meanwhile, the high priest questioned Jesus about his disciples and his teaching.20 "I have spoken openly to the world," Jesus replied. "I always taught in synagogues or at the temple, where all the Jews come together. I said nothing in secret.21 Why question me? Ask those who heard me. Surely they know what I said."22 When Jesus said this, one of the officials nearby slapped him in the face. "Is this the way you answer the high priest?" he demanded.23 "If I said something wrong," Jesus replied, "testify as to what is wrong. But if I spoke the truth, why did you strike me?"24 Then Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas the high priest.25 Meanwhile, Simon Peter was still standing there warming himself. So they asked him, "You aren't one of his disciples too, are you?" He denied it, saying, "I am not."26 One of the high priest's servants, a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, challenged him, "Didn't I see you with him in the garden?"27 Again Peter denied it, and at that moment a rooster began to crow.28 Then the Jewish leaders took Jesus from Caiaphas to the palace of the Roman governor. By now it was early morning, and to avoid ceremonial uncleanness they did not enter the palace, because they wanted to be able to eat the Passover.29 So Pilate came out to them and asked, "What charges are you bringing against this man?"30 "If he were not a criminal," they replied, "we would not have handed him over to you."31 Pilate said, "Take him yourselves and judge him by your own law." "But we have no right to execute anyone," they objected.32 This took place to fulfill what Jesus had said about the kind of death he was going to die.33 Pilate then went back inside the palace, summoned Jesus and asked him, "Are you the king of the Jews?"34 "Is that your own idea," Jesus asked, "or did others talk to you about me?"35 "Am I a Jew?" Pilate replied. "Your own people and chief priests handed you over to me. What is it you have done?"36 Jesus said, "My kingdom is not of this world. If it were, my servants would fight to prevent my arrest by the Jewish leaders. But now my kingdom is from another place."37 "You are a king, then!" said Pilate. Jesus answered, "You say that I am a king. In fact, the reason I was born and came into the world is to testify to the truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to me."38 "What is truth?" retorted Pilate. With this he went out again to the Jews gathered there and said, "I find no basis for a charge against him.39 But it is your custom for me to release to you one prisoner at the time of the Passover. Do you want me to release 'the king of the Jews'?"40 They shouted back, "No, not him! Give us Barabbas!" Now Barabbas had taken part in an uprising.

1 قال يسوع هذا وخرج مع تلاميذه الى عبر وادي قدرون حيث كان بستان دخله هو وتلاميذه.2 وكان يهوذا مسلمه يعرف الموضع. لان يسوع اجتمع هناك كثيرا مع تلاميذه.3 فأخذ يهوذا الجند وخداما من عند رؤساء الكهنة والفريسيين وجاء الى هناك بمشاعل ومصابيح وسلاح.4 فخرج يسوع وهو عالم بكل ما يأتي عليه وقال لهم من تطلبون.5 اجابوه يسوع الناصري. قال لهم يسوع انا هو. وكان يهوذا مسلمه ايضا واقفا معهم.6 فلما قال لهم اني انا هو رجعوا الى الوراء وسقطوا على الارض.7 فسألهم ايضا من تطلبون. فقالوا يسوع الناصري.8 اجاب يسوع قد قلت لكم اني انا هو. فان كنتم تطلبونني فدعوا هؤلاء يذهبون.9 ليتم القول الذي قاله ان الذين اعطيتني لم اهلك منهم احدا10 ثم ان سمعان بطرس كان معه سيف فاستله وضرب عبد رئيس الكهنة فقطع اذنه اليمنى. وكان اسم العبد ملخس.11 فقال يسوع لبطرس اجعل سيفك في الغمد. الكاس التي اعطاني الآب ألا اشربها12 ثم ان الجند والقائد وخدام اليهود قبضوا على يسوع واوثقوه13 ومضوا به الى حنان اولا لانه كان حما قيافا الذي كان رئيسا للكهنة في تلك السنة.14 وكان قيافا هو الذي اشار على اليهود انه خير ان يموت انسان واحد عن الشعب15 وكان سمعان بطرس والتلميذ الآخر يتبعان يسوع. وكان ذلك التلميذ معروفا عند رئيس الكهنة فدخل مع يسوع الى دار رئيس الكهنة.16 واما بطرس فكان واقفا عند الباب خارجا. فخرج التلميذ الآخر الذي كان معروفا عند رئيس الكهنة وكلم البوابة فادخل بطرس.17 فقالت الجارية البوابة لبطرس ألست انت ايضا من تلاميذ هذا الانسان. قال ذاك لست انا.18 وكان العبيد والخدام واقفين وهم قد اضرموا جمرا. لانه كان برد وكانوا يصطلون وكان بطرس واقفا معهم يصطلي19 فسأل رئيس الكهنة يسوع عن تلاميذه وعن تعليمه.20 اجابه يسوع انا كلمت العالم علانية. انا علّمت كل حين في المجمع وفي الهيكل حيث يجتمع اليهود دائما. وفي الخفاء لم اتكلم بشيء.21 لماذا تسألني انا. اسأل الذين قد سمعوا ماذا كلمتهم. هوذا هؤلاء يعرفون ماذا قلت انا.22 ولما قال هذا لطم يسوع واحد من الخدام كان واقفا قائلا أهكذا تجاوب رئيس الكهنة.23 اجابه يسوع ان كنت قد تكلمت رديّا فاشهد على الردي وان حسنا فلماذا تضربني.24 وكان حنان قد ارسله موثقا الى قيافا رئيس الكهنة25 وسمعان بطرس كان واقفا يصطلي. فقالوا له ألست انت ايضا من تلاميذه. فانكر ذاك وقال لست انا.26 قال واحد من عبيد رئيس الكهنة وهو نسيب الذي قطع بطرس اذنه أما رأيتك انا معه في البستان.27 فانكر بطرس ايضا. وللوقت صاح الديك28 ثم جاءوا بيسوع من عند قيافا الى دار الولاية. وكان صبح. ولم يدخلوا هم الى دار الولاية لكي لا يتنجسوا فيأكلون الفصح.29 فخرج بيلاطس اليهم وقال اية شكاية تقدمون على هذا الانسان.30 اجابوا وقالوا له لو لم يكن فاعل شر لما كنا قد سلمناه اليك.31 فقال لهم بيلاطس خذوه انتم واحكموا عليه حسب ناموسكم. فقال له اليهود لا يجوز لنا ان نقتل احدا.32 ليتمّ قول يسوع الذي قاله مشيرا الى اية ميتة كان مزمعا ان يموت33 ثم دخل بيلاطس ايضا الى دار الولاية ودعا يسوع وقال له انت ملك اليهود.34 اجابه يسوع امن ذاتك تقول هذا ام آخرون قالوا لك عني.35 اجابه بيلاطس ألعلي انا يهودي. امّتك ورؤساء الكهنة اسلموك اليّ. ماذا فعلت.36 اجاب يسوع مملكتي لسيت من هذا العالم. لو كانت مملكتي من هذا العالم لكان خدامي يجاهدون لكي لا أسلّم الى اليهود. ولكن الآن ليست مملكتي من هنا.37 فقال له بيلاطس أفانت اذا ملك. اجاب يسوع انت تقول اني ملك. لهذا قد ولدت انا ولهذا قد أتيت الى العالم لاشهد للحق. كل من هو من الحق يسمع صوتي.38 قال له بيلاطس ما هو الحق. ولما قال هذا خرج ايضا الى اليهود وقال لهم انا لست اجد فيه علة واحدة.39 ولكم عادة ان اطلق لكم واحدا في الفصح. أفتريدون ان اطلق لكم ملك اليهود.40 فصرخوا ايضا جميعهم قائلين ليس هذا بل باراباس. وكان باراباس لصا
