1 When Jesus had spoken these words, he went out with his disciples over the brook Kidron, where there was a garden, into which he and his disciples entered. 2 Now Judas, who betrayed him, also knew the place, for Jesus often met there with his disciples. 3 Judas then, having taken a detachment of soldiers and officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, came there with lanterns, torches, and weapons. 4 Jesus therefore, knowing all the things that were happening to him, went out and said to them, "Who are you looking for?"

5 They answered him, "Jesus of Nazareth."

Jesus said to them, "I am he."

Judas also, who betrayed him, was standing with them. 6 When therefore he said to them, "I am he," they went backward and fell to the ground.

7 Again therefore he asked them, "Who are you looking for?"

They said, "Jesus of Nazareth."

8 Jesus answered, "I told you that I am he. If therefore you seek me, let these go their way," 9 that the word might be fulfilled which he spoke, "Of those whom you have given me, I have lost none."

10 Simon Peter therefore, having a sword, drew it, struck the high priest’s servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant’s name was Malchus. 11 Jesus therefore said to Peter, "Put the sword into its sheath. The cup which the Father has given me, shall I not surely drink it?"

12 So the detachment, the commanding officer, and the officers of the Jews seized Jesus and bound him, 13 and led him to Annas first, for he was father-in-law to Caiaphas, who was high priest that year. 14 Now it was Caiaphas who advised the Jews that it was expedient that one man should perish for the people.

15 Simon Peter followed Jesus, as did another disciple. Now that disciple was known to the high priest, and entered in with Jesus into the court 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 her who kept the door, and brought in Peter. 17 Then the maid who kept the door said to Peter, "Are you also one of this man’s disciples?"

He said, "I am not."

18 Now the servants and the officers were standing there, having made a fire of coals, for it was cold. They were warming themselves. Peter was with them, standing and warming himself.

19 The high priest therefore asked Jesus about his disciples and about his teaching.

20 Jesus answered him, "I spoke openly to the world. I always taught in synagogues and in the temple, where the Jews always meet. I said nothing in secret. 21 Why do you ask me? Ask those who have heard me what I said to them. Behold, they know the things which I said."

22 When he had said this, one of the officers standing by slapped Jesus with his hand, saying, "Do you answer the high priest like that?"

23 Jesus answered him, "If I have spoken evil, testify of the evil; but if well, why do you beat me?"

24 Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas, the high priest.

25 Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They said therefore to him, "You aren’t also one of his disciples, are you?"

He denied it and said, "I am not."

26 One of the servants of the high priest, being a relative of him whose ear Peter had cut off, said, "Didn’t I see you in the garden with him?"

27 Peter therefore denied it again, and immediately the rooster crowed.

28 They led Jesus therefore from Caiaphas into the Praetorium. It was early, and they themselves didn’t enter into the Praetorium, that they might not be defiled, but might eat the Passover. 29 Pilate therefore went out to them and said, "What accusation do you bring against this man?"

30 They answered him, "If this man weren’t an evildoer, we wouldn’t have delivered him up to you."

31 Pilate therefore said to them, "Take him yourselves, and judge him according to your law."

Therefore the Jews said to him, "It is illegal for us to put anyone to death," 32 that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spoke, signifying by what kind of death he should die.

33 Pilate therefore entered again into the Praetorium, called Jesus, and said to him, "Are you the King of the Jews?"

34 Jesus answered him, "Do you say this by yourself, or did others tell you about me?"

35 Pilate answered, "I’m not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests delivered you to me. What have you done?"

36 Jesus answered, "My Kingdom is not of this world. If my Kingdom were of this world, then my servants would fight, that I wouldn’t be delivered to the Jews. But now my Kingdom is not from here."

37 Pilate therefore said to him, "Are you a king then?"

Jesus answered, "You say that I am a king. For this reason I have been born, and for this reason I have come into the world, that I should testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to my voice."

38 Pilate said to him, "What is truth?"

When he had said this, he went out again to the Jews, and said to them, "I find no basis for a charge against him. 39 But you have a custom that I should release someone to you at the Passover. Therefore, do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?"

40 Then they all shouted again, saying, "Not this man, but Barabbas!" Now Barabbas was a robber.

1 Nadat Jesus dit gesê het, het Hy met sy dissipels oor die spruit Kedron gegaan waar daar 'n tuin was, waarin Hy self gegaan het en sy dissipels.

2 En Judas, sy verraaier, het ook die plek geken, omdat Jesus daar dikwels met sy dissipels saamgekom het.

3 En Judas het die afdeling soldate en die dienaars van die owerpriesters en die Fariseërs geneem en daar gekom met fakkels en lampe en wapens.

4 En omdat Jesus alles geweet het wat oor Hom sou kom, het Hy uit die tuin gegaan en vir hulle gesê: Wie soek julle?

5 Hulle antwoord Hom: Jesus, die Nasar,ner. Jesus sê vir hulle: Dit is Ek. En ook Judas, sy verraaier, het by hulle gestaan.

6 Toe Hy dan vir hulle sê: Dit is Ek, het hulle agteruitgegaan en op die grond geval.

7 Hy vra hulle toe weer: Wie soek julle? En hulle sê: Jesus, die Nasar,ner.

8 Jesus antwoord: Ek het vir julle gesê dat dit Ek is. As julle My dan soek, laat hierdie manne weggaan --

9 sodat die woord vervul sou word wat Hy gespreek het: Uit die wat U My gegee het, het Ek niemand verloor nie.

10 En Simon Petrus wat 'n swaard gehad het, het dit uitgetrek en die dienskneg van die hoëpriester geslaan en sy regteroor afgekap. En die naam van die dienskneg was Malchus.

11 Toe sê Jesus vir Petrus: Steek jou swaard in die skede. Die beker wat die Vader My gegee het, sal Ek dit dan nie drink nie?

12 En die afdeling en die owerste oor duisend en die dienaars van die Jode het Jesus gevange geneem en Hom geboei;

13 en hulle het Hom weggelei, eers na Annas; want Hy was die skoonvader van K jafas wat daardie jaar hoëpriester was.

14 En dit was K jafas wat aan die Jode die raad gegee het dat dit voordelig is dat een man vir die volk sterwe.

15 En Simon Petrus en 'n ander dissipel het Jesus gevolg; en daardie dissipel was met die hoëpriester bekend en het saam met Jesus ingegaan in die binneplaas van die hoëpriester se paleis.

16 Maar Petrus het buitekant by die deur bly staan. En die ander dissipel wat bekend was met die hoëpriester, het uitgegaan en met die deurwagster gepraat en Petrus ingebring.

17 Toe sê die diensmeisie, die deurwagster, vir Petrus: Jy is tog nie ook een van die dissipels van hierdie mens nie? Hy sê: Ek is nie.

18 En die diensknegte en die dienaars het by 'n koolvuur gestaan wat hulle gemaak het -- want dit was koud -- en hulle het hul warm gemaak. En Petrus het by hulle gestaan en hom warm gemaak.

19 Die hoëpriester ondervra Jesus toe oor sy dissipels en oor sy leer.

20 Jesus antwoord hom: Ek het ronduit tot die wêreld gespreek; Ek het altyd in die sinagoge geleer en in die tempel waar die Jode van alle kante vergader; en in die geheim het Ek niks gespreek nie.

21 Wat ondervra u My? Ondervra hulle wat gehoor het wat Ek tot hulle gespreek het; hulle weet tog wat Ek gesê het.

22 En toe Hy dit sê, het een van die dienaars wat daar staan, Jesus in die aangesig geslaan en gesê: Antwoord U die hoëpriester so?

23 Jesus antwoord hom: As Ek verkeerd gespreek het, getuig van die verkeerdheid; maar as Ek reg gespreek het, waarom slaan jy My?

24 En Annas het Hom geboeid na K jafas, die hoëpriester, gestuur.

25 En Simon Petrus het hom staan en warm maak. En hulle sê vir hom: Jy is tog nie ook een van sy dissipels nie? Toe ontken hy dit en sê: Ek is nie.

26 Een van die hoëpriester se diensknegte wat familie was van die man wie se oor Petrus afgekap het, sê: Het ek jou nie in die tuin by Hom gesien nie?

27 En Petrus het dit weer ontken; en dadelik het die haan gekraai.

28 Toe neem hulle Jesus van K jafas na die goewerneur se paleis. En dit was vroeg in die môre ; en hulle het self nie in die paleis ingegaan nie, dat hulle hul nie sou verontreinig nie, maar dat hulle die pasga kon eet.

29 En Pilatus het na hulle uitgekom en gesê: Watter beskuldiging bring julle teen hierdie man in?

30 Hulle antwoord en sê vir hom: As Hy geen kwaaddoener was nie, sou ons Hom nie aan u oorgelewer het nie.

31 En Pilatus sê vir hulle: Neem julle Hom en oordeel Hom volgens julle wet. En die Jode sê vir hom: Dit is ons nie geoorloof om iemand dood te maak nie --

32 sodat die woord van Jesus vervul sou word wat Hy gesê het om aan te dui hoedanige dood Hy sou sterwe.

33 Pilatus gaan toe weer in die goewerneur se paleis en roep Jesus en sê vir Hom: Is U die Koning van die Jode?

34 Jesus antwoord hom: Sê u dit uit uself, of het ander u dit van My gesê?

35 Pilatus antwoord: Is ek dan 'n Jood? U volk en die owerpriesters het U aan my oorgelewer. Wat het U gedoen?

36 Jesus antwoord: My koninkryk is nie van hierdie wêreld nie; as my koninkryk van hierdie wêreld was, sou my dienaars geveg het, dat Ek nie aan die Jode oorgelewer word nie. Maar nou is my koninkryk nie van hier nie.

37 Pilatus sê toe vir Hom: Is U dan tog 'n koning? Jesus antwoord: U sê dat Ek 'n koning is. Hiervoor is Ek gebore en hiervoor het Ek in die wêreld gekom, om vir die waarheid te getuig. Elkeen wat uit die waarheid is, luister na my stem.

38 Pilatus sê vir Hom: Wat is waarheid? En toe hy dit gesê het, gaan hy weer uit na die Jode en sê vir hulle: Ek vind geen skuld in Hom nie.

39 Maar julle het 'n gewoonte dat ek vir julle op die pasga iemand moet loslaat; wil julle dan hê dat ek vir julle die Koning van die Jode moet loslaat?

40 Toe skreeu hulle almal weer en sê: Nie vir Hom nie, maar Bar bbas! En Bar bbas was 'n rower.
