João 18

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."✝18:9 John 6:39

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.

Te Hopukanga o Īhu

1 Ka mutu ēnei kōrero a Īhu ka haere ia, rātou ko āna ākonga, ki tāwāhi o te manga wai, arā o Kerono. Nā, he kāri kei reira, ā, tapoko atu ana ia, rātou ko āna ākonga.

2 I mātauria anō taua wāhi e Hūrā, e te tangata e tukua ai ia; he maha hoki ngā hokinga o Īhu, rātou ko āna ākonga ki reira. 3 Nā, ka hoatu ki a Hūrā tētahi mātua me ētahi kātipa e ngā tohunga nui rātou ko ngā Parihi, ā, haere ana ki reira, me ngā roherohe, me ngā rama, me ngā patu.

4 Heoi, i mātau a Īhu ki ngā mea katoa meāke pā ki a ia, ka puta atu, ka mea ki a rātou, "Ko wai tā koutou e rapu?"

5 Ka whakahokia e rātou ki a ia, "Ko Īhu o Nahareta."

Ka mea a Īhu ki a rātou, "Ko ahau ia."

Ā, i te tū anō i roto i a rātou a Hūrā, tōna kaituku. 6 Nā, i tāna kōrerotanga ki a rātou, "Ko ahau ia," hoki ana rātou ki muri, hinga ana ki te whenua.

7 Nā, ka ui anō ia ki a rātou, "Ko wai tā koutou e rapu?"

Ka mea rātou, "Ko Īhu o Nahareta."

8 Ka whakahokia e Īhu, "Kua mea ahau ki a koutou, ‘Ko ahau ia,’ ki te mea e rapu ana koutou i ahau, tukua ēnei kia haere." 9 Kia rite ai te kupu i kōrerotia e ia: "Kāhore i ngaro tētahi o te hunga i hōmai e koe ki ahau."

10 Nā, he hoari tā Haimona Pita, unuhia ana e ia, ā, hāua iho te pononga a te tohunga nui, tapahia ana tōna taringa matau. Ko te ingoa o taua pononga ko Maraku.

11 Ka mea a Īhu ki a Pita, "Kuhua tāu hoari ki te takotoranga. Ko te kapu i hōmai nei e tōku Matua ki ahau auaka rānei e inumia e ahau?"

Ko Īhu i te Aroaro o Anaha

12 Heoi, ka hopukina a Īhu e taua ope, e te rangatira rātou ko ngā kātipa o ngā Hūrai, ā, hereherea ana ia. 13 Ā, ka ārahina ki a Anaha i te tuatahi; ko ia hoki te hungawai o Kaiapa, o te tohunga nui mō taua tau. 14 Nā, ko Kaiapa tēnei nāna rā i whakatakoto te whakaaro ki ngā Hūrai, he pai kē ki te mate te tangata kotahi mō te iwi.

Ka Whakakāhorengia a Īhu e Pita

15 Nā, ka aru a Haimona Pita i a Īhu, ā, ka aru anō hoki tētahi atu o ngā ākonga; nā, i mōhiotia taua ākonga e te tohunga nui, ā, tomo tahi ana me Īhu ki te whare o te tohunga nui; 16 ko Pita ia i tū i te kūwaha i waho. Nā, ka puta atu taua ākonga i mōhiotia nei e te tohunga nui, ka kōrero ki te kaitiaki o te tatau, ā, ārahina ana a Pita ki roto.

17 Nā, ko te meatanga a te kōtiro tiaki o te tatau ki a Pita, "Ehara ianei koe i tētahi o ngā ākonga a tēnei tangata?"

Ka mea ia, "Ehara!"

18 Nā, i reira ngā pononga me ngā kātipa e tū ana, kua whakaūngia hoki e rātou te kāpura waro; he makariri hoki; ā, e inaina ana rātou. Ko Pita hoki tētahi o rātou, e tū tahi ana e inaina ana.

Ka Uiuia e te Tohunga Nui a Īhu

19 Nā, ka ui te tohunga nui ki a Īhu, ki āna ākonga, ki tāna ako.

20 Ka whakahokia e Īhu ki a ia, "I mārama tonu tāku kōrero ki te ao; i ako tonu ahau i roto i te whare karakia, i te temepara hoki, i te wāhi huihui o ngā Hūrai katoa; kāhore hoki tētahi mea i kōrerotia pukutia e ahau. 21 He aha koe ka ui ai ki ahau? Ui atu ki te hunga i rongo ki tāku i mea ai ki a rātou; nanā, e mōhio ana rātou ki āku i kōrero ai."

22 Nā, i tāna kōrerotanga i ēnei kupu, ka papaki tētahi o ngā kātipa i tū rā i a Īhu, ka mea, "E pēnā ana koe ki te tohunga nui?"

23 Ka whakahokia e Īhu ki a ia, "Ki te kino āku kōrero, whakaaturia te kino. Ki te pai ia, he aha koe i papaki ai i ahau?" 24 Nā, ka tukua hereheretia atu ia e Anaha ki a Kaiapa tohunga nui.

Ka Whakakāhorengia anō a Īhu e Pita

25 Nā, tērā a Haimona Pita te tū rā me te inaina. Nā, ka mea rātou ki a ia, "Ehara ianei koe i tētahi o āna ākonga?"

Ka whakakāhore ia, ka mea, "Ehara!"

26 Ka mea tētahi o ngā pononga a te tohunga nui, he whanaunga nōna i tapahia nei te taringa e Pita, "Kīhai ianei ahau i kite i a koe, kōrua tahi i te kāri?" 27 Nā, ka whakakāhore anō a Pita; ā, tangi tonu iho te tīkaokao.

Ka Mauria a Īhu i te Aroaro o Pirato

28 Kātahi, ka ārahina atu e rātou a Īhu i a Kaiapa ki te whare whakawā. He atatū. Ko rātou ia kīhai i tomo ki te whare whakawā, kei poke rātou, engari, kia kai ai rātou i te Kapenga. 29 Nā, ka puta atu a Pirato ki a rātou, ka mea, "He aha tā koutou whakapae ki tēnei tangata?"

30 Ka whakahoki rātou, ka mea ki a ia, "Me i kaua ia te mahi i te kino, kīhai i kawea mai e mātou ki a koe."

31 Nā, ko te meatanga a Pirato ki a rātou, "Mauria atu ia, whakawākia ki tō koutou nā ture."

Ka mea ngā Hūrai ki a ia, "E kore e tika kia whakamatea tētahi tangata e mātou." 32 Kia rite ai tā Īhu kupu i kōrero ai, hei whakaatu i te mate e mate ai ia.

33 Me i reira ka tomo anō a Pirato ki te whare whakawā, ka karanga i a Īhu, ka mea ki a ia, "Ko te Kīngi rānei koe o ngā Hūrā?"

34 Ka whakahokia e Īhu ki a ia, "Nāu ake anō tēnei kupu, he kōrero rānei mōku nā te tangata kē ki a koe?"

35 Ka mea a Pirato, "He Hūrai koia ahau? Nā tōu iwi, nā ngā tohunga nui anō hoki, koe i kawe mai ki ahau; i aha koia koe?"

36 Ka whakahokia e Īhu, "Ehara tōku rangatiratanga i tēnei ao; mehemea nō tēnei ao tōku rangatiratanga, kua tatau āku pononga, kei tukua ahau ki ngā Hūrai. Tēnā ko tēnei, ehara tōku rangatiratanga i konei."

37 Nā, ka mea a Pirato ki a ia, "He kīngi oti koe?"

Ka whakahokia e Īhu, "Kua kōrerotia mai nā e koe he kīngi ahau. Ko te mea tēnei i whānau ai ahau; nā tēnei hoki ahau i haere mai ai ki te ao, hei kaiwhakaatu mō te pono. E whakarongo ana ki tōku reo ngā tāngata katoa o te pono."

38 Ka mea a Pirato ki a ia, "He aha te pono?"

Ka Whiua a Īhu kia Mate

Ā, nō te puakanga o tēnei kī, hoki ana ia ki waho, ki ngā Hūrai, ka mea ki a rātou, "Kāhore tētahi hē o tēnei tangata i mau i ahau. 39 Otiia, he ritenga tēnei nā koutou, kia tukua e ahau ki a koutou tētahi tangata i te Kapenga. E pai ana rānei koutou kia tukua e ahau ki a koutou te Kīngi o ngā Hūrai?"

40 Heoi, karanga katoa ana anō rātou, ka mea, "Auaka tēnei, engari a Parapa." Nā, he tāhae a Parapa.
