1 Saying these things Yahshua went out with His students across the brook of Kedron where there was a garden, into which He and His students entered. 2 Now Ioudas His betrayer also knew the place, because many times Yahshua gathered there with His students. 3 Then Ioudas, receiving a cohort and deputies from among the high priests and from among the Pharisees, comes there with torches and lamps and weapons. 4 Therefore Yahshua knowing all the things coming upon Him went out and says to them "What do you seek?" 5 They replied to Him "Yahshua the Nazoraian". He says "I am". And Ioudas His betrayer also stood with them. 6 Then as He said to them "I am", they withdrew to the rear and fell to the ground. 7 There He questioned them again, "What do you seek?" And they said "Yahshua the Nazoraian". 8 Yahshua replied: "I said to you that I am, therefore if you seek Me, let them go", 9 in order that the Word would be fulfilled which said that "those whom You gave to Me, I have lost not one from among them". 10 Then Simon Petros, having a sword, drew it and struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his right ear. And Malchos was the name of the servant. 11 Therefore Yahshua said to Petros: "Put the sword into the sheath! The cup which the Father gave to Me, shall I not drink it?" 12 Then the cohort and the commander and the deputies of the Judaeans seized Yahshua and they bound 13 and brought Him to Hannas first, for he was the father-in-law of Kaiaphas who was high priest for that year. 14 Now it was Kaiaphas who had advised the Judaeans that it is advantageous for one man to die on behalf of the people. 15 Now Simon Petros and another student had followed Yahshua, and that student was known by the high priest and he entered in with Yahshua into the court of the high priest, 16 but Petros stood outside by the door. Then the other student, he known by the high priest, went out and spoke with the doorkeeper and he brought Petros in. 17 Therefore the doorkeeper, a servant girl, says to Petros: "Are you also one of the students of this Man?" He says: "I am not." 18 Then the servants and the deputies, having made a charcoal fire because it was cold, stood and they warmed themselves. And Petros also was with them, standing and warming himself. 19 Then the high priest questioned Yahshua concerning His students and concerning His teaching. 20 Yahshua replied to him: "I have spoken openly to Society. Always I have taught in the assembly hall and in the temple, where all the Judaeans gather, and in secret I have said nothing. 21 Why do you question Me? Question those who have heard what I have spoken to them. Behold, these, they know the things which I have said." 22 Then upon His speaking these things one of the deputies standing by had given Yahshua a slap saying "Thusly should You reply to the high priest?" 23 Yahshua replied to him: "If I have spoken badly, testify concerning the bad, but if well, why do you strike Me?" 24 Therefore Hannas sent Him bound to Kaiaphas the high priest. 25 Now Simon Petros was standing and warming himself. Then they said to him: "Are you one from among His students?" He denied it and said "I am not". 26 One from among the servants of the high priest, a kinsman of he whose ear Petros had cut off, says "Had I not seen you in the garden with Him?" 27 Then again Petros denied it, and immediately a cock crowed. 28 Then they brought Yahshua from Kaiaphas to the Praetorium, and it was early morning, and they did not enter into the Praetorium, that they would not be defiled but may eat the Passover. 29 Therefore Pilatos came outside to them and declared: "What charge do you bring against this man?" 30 They replied and said to him "If this man was not doing evil, we would not have delivered Him to you!" 31 Therefore Pilatos said to them: "You take Him and judge Him according to your law." The Judaeans said to him: "It is not lawful for us to slay anyone", 32 that the word of Yahshua would be fulfilled which He spoke indicating by what sort of death He was going to die. 33 Therefore Pilatos entered again into the Praetorium and called to Yahshua and said to Him: "Are You the King of the Judaeans?" 34 Yahshua replied: "Do you say this by yourself or have others spoken to you concerning Me?" 35 Pilatos replied: "What, am I a Judaean? Your nation and the high priests delivered You to me. What have You done?" 36 Yahshua replied: "My Kingdom is not from of this Society. If My Kingdom was of this Society, My deputies would have fought in order that I would not be delivered to the Judaeans. But now My Kingdom is not from here." 37 Therefore Pilatos said to Him: "Then are You King?" Yahshua replied: "You say that I am a king. For this I had been born and for this I have come into Society: in order that I may testify to the truth. Each who is from of the truth hears My voice." 38 Pilatos says to Him: "What is truth?" And saying this he again went out to the Judaeans and says to them: "I find not any guilt in Him. 39 But it is a custom with you that I shall release one for you on the Passover. Therefore do you wish that I release for you the King of the Judaeans?" 40 Then they cried out again saying "Not this man, but Barabbas!" And Barabbas was a robber.
