\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 ($\sigma\pi\epsilon\iota\rho\alpha\nu$) 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 moved 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 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 man 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 man[, 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.
|
|
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 evil-ly, testify concerning the evil.
|
|
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{}?
|
|
That [one] 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 man?
|
|
\VS{30} They answered and said to him: If this man were
|
|
not [an] evil doer, 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 [man] 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 [a] revolutionary
|
|
\footnote{Or `robber'. It is possible Barrabas was merely a robber or highwayman, but given the use of the word used here --- LESTES ($\lambda\eta\sigma\tau\eta\varsigma$) --- as used by other contemporary writers (like Josephus), it seems more likely he was a guerrilla warrior or revolutionary leader --- a `terrorist'}
