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 Kui Jeesus seda oli rääkinud, läks ta Oma jüngritega välja üle Kiidroni jõe. Seal oli aed, kuhu Ta läks Oma jüngritega.

2 Aga Juudas, kes Tema ära andis, teadis ka seda paika, sest et Jeesus sagedasti sinna oli kokku tulnud Oma jüngritega.

3 Juudas võttis nüüd enesega kaasa väesalga ning ülempreestritelt ja variseridelt sulaseid ja tuli sinna tulelontide, lampide ja relvadega.

4 Siis Jeesus, kuna Ta teadis kõik, mis Tema peale tuleb, läks välja ja ütles neile: „Keda te otsite?"

5 Nad vastasid Temale: „Jeesust Naatsaretlast!" Tema ütles neile: „Mina olen See!" Ka Juudas, kes Tema ära andis, seisis nende juures.

6 Kui Ta nüüd neile ütles: „Mina olen See!" taganesid nad ja langesid maha.

7 Siis Ta küsis taas neilt: „Keda te otsite?" Nemad ütlesid: „Jeesust Naatsaretlast!"

8 Jeesus vastas: „Ma olen teile ütelnud, et Mina See olen! Kui te nüüd Mind otsite, siis laske need ära minna!"

9 et täide läheks sõna, mis Ta oli ütelnud: Mina ei ole kaotanud kedagi neist, kelled Sa Mulle oled, annud!

10 Siis Siimon Peetrus, kellel oli mõõk, tõmbas selle välja ja lõi ülempreestri sulast ning raius tema parema kõrva ära; sulase nimi aga oli Malkus.

11 Siis Jeesus ütles Peetrusele: „Pista oma mõõk tuppe! Eks Mina pea jooma seda karikat, mille Isa Mulle on annud?"

12 Aga väesalk ja ülempealik ja juutide sulased võtsid Jeesuse ja sidusid Ta kinni

13 ja viisid esiti Annase juure; sest see oli Kaifase äi, ja Kaifas oli tol aastal ülempreester.

14 Kaifas aga oli see, kes juutidele nõu andes oli ütelnud: „Parem on, et üks inimene sureb rahva eest!"

15 Aga Siimon Peetrus järgis Jeesust ja üks teine jünger. See jünger oli tuttav ülempreestrile ja läks Jeesusega ühes ülempreestri õue.

16 Ja Peetrus seisis väljas ukse ees. Siis läks teine jünger, kes oli tuttav ülempreestrile, välja ja rääkis uksehoidjaga ning viis Peetruse sisse.

17 Siis ütles uksehoidjatüdruk Peetrusele: „Eks sinagi ole üks Selle Inimese jüngritest?" Tema ütles: „Mina ei ole!"

18 Aga teenrid ja sulased seisid ja olid teinud sütetule, sest oli külm, ja soojendasid endid. Ja Peetrus seisis nende juures ning soojendas ennast.

19 Ūlempreester küsis nüüd Jeesuselt Tema jüngrite ja Tema õpetuse kohta.

20 Jeesus kostis temale: „Mina olen avalikult rääkinud maailmale; Mina olen alati õpetanud koguduse- ja pühakojas, kuhu kõik juudid kokku tulevad, ja salaja Ma ei ole midagi rääkinud.

21

22 Aga kui Ta seda oli ütelnud, lõi üks sulaseist, kes seisid seal juures, Jeesust kõrva ääre ning üttes: „Kas Sa nõnda vastad ülempreestrile?"

23 Jeesus kostis temale: „Kui Ma olen rääkinud pahasti, siis tõesta, et see on paha; aga kui Ma olen hästi rääkinud, miks sa Mind siis lööd?"

24 Siis Annas saatis Tema seotult ülempreester Kaifase juurde.

25 Aga Siimon Peetrus seisis ja soojendas ennast. Siis ütlesid nad temale: „Eks sinagi ole Tema jüngrite seast?" Tema salgas ja ütles: „Mina ei ole!"

26 Ūks ülempreestri teenreist, selle sugulane, kelle kõrva Peetrus oli ära raiunud, ütleb: „Kas mina sind ei näinud ühes Temaga aias?"

27 Siis Peetrus salgas jälle, ja sedamaid laulis kukk.

28

29 Siis läks Pilaatus välja nende juure ja ütles: „Mis teil on kaebamist Selle Inimese peale?

30 Nemad vastasid ning ütlesid temale: „Kui see ei oleks kurjategija, me ei oleks annud Teda sinu kätte!"

31 Siis ütles Pilaatus neile „Võtke teie Ta ja mõistke oma käsuõpetuse järele kohut Tema üle!" Juudid ütlesid temale: „Meil ei ole luba kedagi tappa!"

32 et täide läheks Jeesuse sõna, mis Ta oli ütelnud, kui Ta tähendas millist surma Ta sureb.

33 Siis käis Pilaatus jälle kohtukotta ja kutsus Jeesuse ning ütles Temale: „0led Sina Juutide Kuningas?"

34 Jeesus vastas: „Räägid sa seda iseenesest või on sulle teised seda Minust ütelnud?"

35 Pilaatus vastas: „Egas ma juut ole! Sinu Oma rahvas ja ülempreestrid on Sind annud minu kätte. Mis Sa oled teinud?"

36 Jeesus kostis: „Minu Riik ei ole sellest maailmast; oleks Mu Riik sellest maailmast, küll Mu sulased oleksid võidelnud, et Mind ei oleks antud juutide kätte. Ent nüüd ei ole Mu Riik mitte siit!"

37 Siis ütles Pilaatus Temale: „Siis oled Sina ometi Kuningas?" Jeesus vastas: „Jah, olen, sest Mina olen Kuningas!" Ma olen selleks sündinud ja selleks tulnud maailma, et Ma tõele tunnistus annaksin. Kes tõe seest on, see kuuleb Minu häält!"

38 Pilaatus ütleb Temale: „Mis on tõde?" Kui ta seda oli ütelnud, läks ta uuesti välja juutide juure ja ütles neile: „Mina ei leia Temast ühtki süüd!"

39 Aga teil on kombeks, et ma paasapühal lasen ühe teile vabaks. Kas tahate nüüd, et ma teile vabaks lasen Juutide Kuninga?"

40 Siis nad kisendasid jälle kõik ning ütlesid: „Mitte Teda, vaid Barabas!" Aga Barabas oli röövel.
