1 |
When Jesus had spoken these words, he 1went forth with
his disciples over the brook Cedron, where was a garden, into the
which he entered, and his disciples.

Matt 26:36
|
2 |
And Judas also, which betrayed him, knew the place: for Jesus ofttimes resorted
thither with his disciples. |
3 |
1Judas then, having received a band of men and officers from
the chief priests and Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns and
torches and weapons.

Matt 26:47,

|
4 | Jesus
therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth,
and said unto them, Whom seek ye? |
5 | They
answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, I am he.
And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with them. |
6 |
As soon then as he had said unto them, I am he, they went backward,
and fell to the ground. |
7 |
Then asked he them again, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus of
Nazareth. |
8 | Jesus answered,
I have told you that I am he: if therefore ye seek me, let these go
their way: |
9
| That the saying might be fulfilled, which he spake, Of them
which thou gavest me have I lost none. |
10
| Then 1Simon Peter having a sword drew it, and smote
the high priest's servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant's
name was Malchus.

Matt 26:51
|
11
| Then said Jesus unto Peter,
Put up thy sword into the sheath: the 1cup which my Father
hath given me, shall I not drink it?

Matt 20:22,
Matt 26:39,
Mark 14:36
|
12 | Then the band and the captain and
officers of the Jews took Jesus, and bound him, |
13 | And led him away to Annas first; for
he was father in law to Caiaphas, which was the high priest that
same year. |
14 | Now Caiaphas was he, which gave
counsel to the Jews, that it was expedient that one man should die
for the people. |
15
| And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple:
that disciple was known unto the high priest, and went in with Jesus
into the palace of the high priest. |
16 |
But Peter stood at the door without. Then went out that other disciple, which
was known unto the high priest, and spake unto her that kept the door, and
brought in Peter. |
17 |
Then saith the damsel that kept the door unto Peter, Art not thou also one of
this man's disciples? He saith, I am not. |
18 | And
the servants and officers stood there, who had made a fire of coals;
for it was cold: and they warmed themselves: and Peter stood with
them, and warmed himself. |
19
| The high priest then asked Jesus of his disciples, and of his
doctrine. |
20 | Jesus answered him, I spake openly
to the world; I ever taught in the synagogue, and in the temple,
whither the Jews always resort; and in secret have I said nothing. |
21 | Why askest thou
me? ask them which heard me, what I have said unto them: behold,
they know what I said. |
22 | And when he had thus spoken, one of
the officers which stood by struck Jesus with the palm of his hand,
saying, Answerest thou the high priest so? |
23 |
Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil: but
if well, why smitest thou me? |
24 |
Now Annas had sent him bound unto Caiaphas the high priest. |
25 |
And Simon Peter stood and warmed himself. They said therefore unto him,
Art not thou also one of his disciples? He denied it, and said, I am not. |
26 |
One of the servants of the high priest, being his kinsman whose ear Peter
cut off, saith, Did not I see thee in the garden with him? |
27
| Peter then denied again: and immediately the cock crew. |
28 |
Then 1led they Jesus from Caiaphas unto the hall of judgment: and it
was early; and they themselves went not into the judgment hall, lest they should
be defiled; but that they might eat the passover.

29 | Pilate then went out unto them, and
said, What accusation bring ye against this man? |
30 |
They answered and said unto him, If he were not a malefactor, we
would not have delivered him up unto thee. |
31 | Then said Pilate unto them, Take ye
him, and judge him according to your law. The Jews therefore said
unto him, It is not lawful for us to put any man to death: |
32 |
That the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spake,
signifying what death he should die. |
33 |
Then 1Pilate entered into the judgment hall again, and
called Jesus, and said unto him, Art thou the King of the Jews?
1
Matt 27:11,
Mark 15:2,
Luke 23:3,
1st Tim 6:13
|
34 | Jesus answered him,
Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or did others tell it thee of me? |
35 | Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thine own
nation and the chief priests have delivered thee unto me: what hast
thou done? |
36 |
Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this
world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews:
but now is my kingdom not from hence. |
37 | Pilate
therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered,
Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this
cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the
truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice. |
38 |
Pilate saith unto him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he
went out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them, I find in him no
fault at all. |
39 |
But ye have a custom, that I should 1release unto you one at the
passover: will ye therefore that I release unto you the King of the Jews?

Then cried they all again, saying, Not this man, 1but
Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.
