\subsection{John 18}
|
|
\subsubsection{Betrayal and Arrest}
|
|
\lettrine[lraise=0]{H}{aving} said these [things],
|
|
Jesus went out with his disciples across the ravine of Kedron
|
|
where there was [a] garden in which he and his disciples entered.
|
|
\VS{2} Now Judas the [one] delivering him up also knew the place,
|
|
because Jesus often was gathered there with his disciples.
|
|
\VS{3} Judas therefore having received the cohort%
|
|
\footnote{SPEIRAN a technical term for a Roman cohort,
|
|
a force of 600 men (one tenth of a legion), although all 600 may not have been called out
|
|
}
|
|
and [some] officers of the chief-priests and the Pharisees,
|
|
they come there with lanterns and lamps and weapons.
|
|
\VS{4} Jesus therefore having known everything coming upon him
|
|
went out and says to them: Whom do you seek?
|
|
\VS{5} They answered him: Jesus the Nazarene.
|
|
He says to them: I am he.
|
|
Now Judas the [one] delivering him up also stood with them.
|
|
\VS{6} As he said therefore to them: I am he, they drew back and fell to the ground.
|
|
\VS{7} Again therefore he asked them: Whom do you seek?
|
|
And they said: Jesus the Nazarene.
|
|
\VS{8} Jesus answered: I said to you that I am he.
|
|
If therefore you seek me, allow these [men] to be departing,
|
|
\VS{9} in order that the word\fnLogos{} be fulfilled that said that:
|
|
|
|
\begin{verse}
|
|
Whom you have given me, \\
|
|
I will lose of them \negd{not one}.
|
|
\end{verse}
|
|
|
|
\VS{10} Simon Peter therefore, having [a] sword,
|
|
drew it out and struck the chief-priest's slave and cut off his right ear.
|
|
Now the slave's name was Malchus.
|
|
\VS{11} Jesus therefore said to Peter: Put the sword in the sheath.
|
|
The cup that the father has given me, will I \negd{not} drink it?
|
|
\VS{12} The cohort therefore and the commander
|
|
and the officers of the Jews arrested Jesus and bound him,
|
|
\VS{13} and led [him] first to Annan,
|
|
for he was the father in law of Caiphas, who was chief-priest of that year.
|
|
\VS{14} Now Caiaphas was the [one] having advised the Jews
|
|
that it is profitable [that] one person\fnAnthropos{} die in behalf of the people.
|
|
|
|
\subsubsection{Peter's First Denial}
|
|
\VS{15} Now Simon Peter and the other disciple followed Jesus
|
|
into the courtyard of the chief-priest.
|
|
And that disciple was known to the chief-priest,
|
|
and he went in with Jesus into the courtyard of the chief-priest.
|
|
\VS{16} Now Peter stood outside facing the door.
|
|
The other disciple, the [one] known to the chief-priest,
|
|
went out and spoke to the [maid] doorkeeper, and brought in Peter.
|
|
\VS{17} Therefore the maid doorkeeper says to Peter:
|
|
You're not also one of the disciples of this person\fnAnthropos{}[, are you]\fnGrammarIndicatesNo{}?
|
|
He says: I am not.
|
|
\VS{18} Now the slaves and the officers stood [around],
|
|
having made [a] charcoal fire, because it was cold, and they warmed themselves.
|
|
Now Peter was also standing with them and warming himself.
|
|
|
|
\subsubsection{Jesus Questioned by Annas}
|
|
\VS{19} The chief-priest therefore asked\fnErotao{} Jesus concerning his disciples and his teaching.
|
|
\VS{20} Jesus answered him: I have openly spoken to the world\fnKosmos{}.
|
|
I always taught in the synagogue and in the temple, where the Jews all gather,
|
|
and I spoke nothing in secret.
|
|
\VS{21} Why do you ask\fnErotao{} me?
|
|
Ask those having heard what I spoke to them.
|
|
Behold these know what I said to them.
|
|
\VS{22} But when he spoke these [things]
|
|
one of the officers standing by gave [a] blow to Jesus saying:
|
|
Thus do you answer the chief-priest?
|
|
\VS{23} Jesus answered him:
|
|
If I spoke badly, testify concerning the bad [in it].
|
|
But if well, why do you strike me?
|
|
\VS{24} Annas therefore sent him bound to Caiaphas the chief-priest.
|
|
|
|
\subsubsection{Peter's Second and Third Denials}
|
|
\VS{25} Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself.
|
|
They said therefore to him:
|
|
You aren't also one of his disciples[, are you]\fnGrammarIndicatesNo{}?
|
|
He denied and said: I am not.
|
|
\VS{26} One of the slaves of the chief-priest,
|
|
being kinsman of whom Peter cut off his ear, says:
|
|
Did I not see you in the garden with him\footnote{Grammar indicates 'yes' expected}?
|
|
\VS{27} Again therefore Peter denied [it], and straightway the cock crowed.
|
|
|
|
\subsubsection{Jesus Brought Before Pilate}
|
|
\VS{28} They therefore led Jesus from Caiaphas into the Praetorium%
|
|
\footnote{i.e. the governor's residence}.
|
|
It was early morning, and they themselves did not enter the Praetorium
|
|
in order that they not be defiled but may eat the Passover.
|
|
\VS{29} Pilate came out to them and said:
|
|
What accusation do you bring against this person\fnAnthropos{}?
|
|
\VS{30} They answered and said to him:
|
|
If this man were not [a] doer of the bad, we would not have brought him to you.
|
|
\VS{31} Pilate therefore said to them:
|
|
You brought him, you judge him according to your law.
|
|
The Jews said to him: It is allowed for us to put \negd{no one} to death,
|
|
\VS{32} in order that the word of Jesus be fulfilled when he spoke
|
|
indicating what sort of death he was [about] to be dying.
|
|
|
|
\subsubsection{Pilate Questions Jesus}
|
|
\VS{33} Pilate therefore went in again into the Praetorium
|
|
and called Jesus and said to him:
|
|
Are you the king of the Jews?
|
|
\VS{34} Jesus answered: Do you say this from yourself or did others tell you concerning me?
|
|
\VS{35} Pilate answered: Am I [a] Jew?
|
|
Your nation and chief-priests have delivered you up to me. What did you do?
|
|
|
|
\VS{36} Jesus answered: My kingdom is not of this world.
|
|
If my kingdom were of this world,
|
|
my officers would have fought in order that I not be delivered up to the Jews.
|
|
But now my kingdom is not from here.
|
|
\VS{37} Pilate therefore said to him:
|
|
So are you [a] king? Jesus answered: You say that I am king.
|
|
I am born for this and am come into the world for this,
|
|
in order that I witness to the truth. All those being from the truth hear my voice.
|
|
\VS{38} Pilate says to him: What is truth?
|
|
|
|
And having said this he again went out to the Jews,
|
|
and says to them: I find nothing blameworthy in him.
|
|
\VS{39} But it [is] custom for you that I release to you one [person] on the Passover.
|
|
Do you wish therefore that I release to you the king of the Jews?
|
|
\VS{40} They therefore cried out again saying:
|
|
Not this one, but Barrabas.
|
|
Now Barrabas was [an] insurrectionist%
|
|
\footnote{Or `robber'.
|
|
It is possible Barrabas was merely a robber or highwayman,
|
|
but given the use of the word used here --- L\={E}ST\={E}S ---
|
|
as used by other contemporary writers (like Josephus),
|
|
it seems more likely he was a revolutionary leader}%
