耶稣被捕

1耶稣说了这话，就同门徒出去，过了汲沦溪。在那里有一个园子，他和门徒进去了。

2卖耶稣的犹大也知道那地方，因为耶稣和门徒屡次上那里去聚集。

3犹大领了一队兵，和祭司长并法利赛人的差役，拿着灯笼、火把、兵器，就来到园里。

4耶稣知道将要临到自己的一切事，就出来对他们说：「你们找谁？」

5他们回答说：「找拿撒勒人耶稣。」耶稣说：「我就是！」卖他的犹大也同他们站在那里。

6耶稣一说「我就是」，他们就退后倒在地上。

7他又问他们说：「你们找谁？」他们说：「找拿撒勒人耶稣。」

8耶稣说：「我已经告诉你们，我就是。你们若找我，就让这些人去吧。」

9这要应验耶稣从前的话，说：「你所赐给我的人，我没有失落一个。」

10西门·彼得带着一把刀，就拔出来，将大祭司的仆人砍了一刀，削掉他的右耳；那仆人名叫马勒古。

11耶稣就对彼得说：「收刀入鞘吧，我父所给我的那杯，我岂可不喝呢？」

耶稣被带到亚那面前

12那队兵和千夫长，并犹太人的差役就拿住耶稣，把他捆绑了，

13先带到亚那面前，因为亚那是本年作大祭司该亚法的岳父。

14这该亚法就是从前向犹太人发议论说「一个人替百姓死是有益的」那位。

彼得不认耶稣

15西门·彼得跟着耶稣，还有一个门徒跟着。那门徒是大祭司所认识的，他就同耶稣进了大祭司的院子。

16彼得却站在门外。大祭司所认识的那个门徒出来，和看门的使女说了一声，就领彼得进去。

17那看门的使女对彼得说：「你不也是这人的门徒吗？」他说：「我不是。」

18仆人和差役因为天冷，就生了炭火，站在那里烤火；彼得也同他们站着烤火。

大祭司盘问耶稣

19大祭司就以耶稣的门徒和他的教训盘问他。

20耶稣回答说：「我从来是明明地对世人说话。我常在会堂和殿里，就是犹太人聚集的地方教训人；我在暗地里并没有说什么。

21你为什么问我呢？可以问那听见的人，我对他们说的是什么；我所说的，他们都知道。」

22耶稣说了这话，旁边站着的一个差役用手掌打他，说：「你这样回答大祭司吗？」

23耶稣说：「我若说的不是，你可以指证那不是；我若说的是，你为什么打我呢？」

24亚那就把耶稣解到大祭司该亚法那里，仍是捆着解去的。

彼得再次不认耶稣

25西门·彼得正站着烤火，有人对他说：「你不也是他的门徒吗？」彼得不承认，说：「我不是。」

26有大祭司的一个仆人，是彼得削掉耳朵那人的亲属，说：「我不是看见你同他在园子里吗？」

27彼得又不承认。立时鸡就叫了。

耶稣在彼拉多面前受审

28众人将耶稣从该亚法那里往衙门内解去，那时天还早。他们自己却不进衙门，恐怕染了污秽，不能吃逾越节的筵席。

29彼拉多就出来，到他们那里，说：「你们告这人是为什么事呢？」

30他们回答说：「这人若不是作恶的，我们就不把他交给你。」

31彼拉多说：「你们自己带他去，按着你们的律法审问他吧。」犹太人说：「我们没有杀人的权柄。」

32这要应验耶稣所说自己将要怎样死的话了。

33彼拉多又进了衙门，叫耶稣来，对他说：「你是犹太人的王吗？」

34耶稣回答说：「这话是你自己说的，还是别人论我对你说的呢？」

35彼拉多说：「我岂是犹太人呢？你本国的人和祭司长把你交给我。你做了什么事呢？」

36耶稣回答说：「我的国不属这世界；我的国若属这世界，我的臣仆必要争战，使我不至于被交给犹太人。只是我的国不属这世界。」

37彼拉多就对他说：「这样，你是王吗？」耶稣回答说：「你说我是王。我为此而生，也为此来到世间，特为给真理作见证。凡属真理的人就听我的话。」

38彼拉多说：「真理是什么呢？」 耶稣被判死刑 （太27·15—31；可15·6—20；路23·13—25） 说了这话，又出来到犹太人那里，对他们说：「我查不出他有什么罪来。

39但你们有个规矩，在逾越节要我给你们释放一个人，你们要我给你们释放犹太人的王吗？」

40他们又喊着说：「不要这人，要巴拉巴！」这巴拉巴是个强盗。

1When Jesus had said these things, he went forth with his disciples over the brook Cedron, where there was a garden, into which he entered with his disciples.

2And Judas also, who betrayed him, knew the place; because Jesus had often resorted thither together with his disciples.

3Judas therefore having received a band of soldiers and servants from the chief priests and the Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns and torches and weapons.

4Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said to them: Whom seek ye?

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

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

7Again therefore he asked them: Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth.

8Jesus answered, I have told you that I am he. If therefore you seek me, let these go their way.

9That the word might be fulfilled which he said: Of them whom thou hast given me, I have not lost any one.

10Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it, and struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear. And the name of the servant was Malchus.

11Jesus therefore said to Peter: Put up thy sword into the scabbard. The chalice which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?

12Then the band and the tribune, and the servants of the Jews, took Jesus, and bound him:

13And they led him away to Annas first, for he was father in law to Caiphas, who was the high priest of that year.

14Now Caiphas was he who had given the counsel to the Jews: That it was expedient that one man should die for the people.

15And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple. And that disciple was known to the high priest, and went in with Jesus into the court of the high priest.

16But Peter stood at the door without. The other disciple therefore, who was known to the high priest, went out, and spoke to the portress, and brought in Peter.

17The maid therefore that was portress, saith to Peter: Art not thou also one of this man’s disciples? He saith: I am not.

18Now the servants and ministers stood at a fire of coals, because it was cold, and warmed themselves. And with them was Peter also, standing, and warming himself.

19The high priest therefore asked Jesus of his disciples, and of his doctrine.

20Jesus answered him: I have spoken openly to the world: I have always taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither all the Jews resort; and in secret I have spoken nothing.

21Why asketh thou me? ask them who have heard what I have spoken unto them: behold they know what things I have said.

22And when he had said these things, one of the servants standing by, gave Jesus a blow, saying: Answerest thou the high priest so?

23Jesus answered him: If I have spoken evil, give testimony of the evil; but if well, why strikest thou me?

24And Annas sent him bound to Caiphas the high priest.

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

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

27Again therefore Peter denied; and immediately the cock crew.

28Then they led Jesus from Caiphas to the governor’s hall. And it was morning; and they went not into the hall, that they might not be defiled, but that they might eat the pasch.

29Pilate therefore went out to them, and said: What accusation bring you against this man?

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

31Pilate therefore said to them: Take him you, 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;

32That the word of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he said, signifying what death he should die.

33Pilate therefore went into the hall again, and called Jesus, and said to him: Art thou the king of the Jews?

34Jesus answered: Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or have others told it thee of me?

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

36Jesus answered: My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would certainly strive that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now my kingdom is not from hence.

37Pilate therefore said to him: Art thou a king then? Jesus answered: Thou sayest that I am a king. For this was I born, and for this came I into the world; that I should give testimony to the truth. Every one that is of the truth, heareth my voice.

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

39But you have a custom that I should release one unto you at the pasch: will you, therefore, that I release unto you the king of the Jews?

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