There was a garden there, which He and His disciples entered. <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/18-2.htm"><b>2</b></a></span>Now Judas, who was betraying Him, knew the place, because Jesus had often met there with His disciples. <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/18-3.htm"><b>3</b></a></span>So Judas, having obtained the <i>Roman</i> <span class="fn"><a href="#fn">[b]</a></span>cohort and some officers from the high priests and the Pharisees, came there with lanterns and torches and weapons. <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/18-4.htm"><b>4</b></a></span>Then Jesus, knowing all that was about to happen to Him, went to them and asked, “Whom do you want?” <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/18-5.htm"><b>5</b></a></span>They answered Him, “Jesus the Nazarene.” Jesus said, “I am <i>He.</i>” And Judas, who was betraying Him, was also standing with them. <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/18-6.htm"><b>6</b></a></span>When Jesus said, “I am <i>He,</i>” they drew back and fell to the ground. <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/18-7.htm"><b>7</b></a></span>Again He asked them, “Whom do you want?” And they said, “Jesus the Nazarene.” <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/18-8.htm"><b>8</b></a></span>Jesus answered, “I told you that I am <i>He;</i> so if you want Me, let these men go on their way.” <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/18-9.htm"><b>9</b></a></span><i>This was</i> to fulfill <i>and</i> verify the words He had spoken, “Of those whom You have given Me, I have not lost even one.” <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/18-10.htm"><b>10</b></a></span>Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it and struck the high priest’s servant, cutting off his right ear. The servant’s name was Malchus. <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/18-11.htm"><b>11</b></a></span>So Jesus said to Peter, “Put the sword [back] in its sheath!

So the other disciple (John), who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to the doorkeeper, and brought Peter inside. <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/18-17.htm"><b>17</b></a></span>Then the servant girl who kept the door said to Peter, “You are not one of this Man’s disciples, are you?” He said, “I am not.” <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/18-18.htm"><b>18</b></a></span>Now the servants and the officers had made a fire of coals, because it was cold, and they were standing and warming themselves. And Peter was with them, standing and warming himself. <p class="paragraph"><span class="reftext"><a href="/john/18-19.htm"><b>19</b></a></span>Then the high priest questioned Jesus about His disciples and about His teaching. <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/18-20.htm"><b>20</b></a></span>Jesus answered him, “I have spoken openly to the world.

Now it was early and the Jews did not enter the Praetorium so that they would not be [ceremonially] unclean, but might [be able to] eat [and participate in the Feast of Unleavened Bread which began after] the <span class="fn"><a href="#fn">[f]</a></span>Passover [supper]. <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/18-29.htm"><b>29</b></a></span>So Pilate came out to them and asked, “What accusation do you bring against this Man?” <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/18-30.htm"><b>30</b></a></span>They answered, “If He were not a criminal, we would not have handed Him over to you [for judgment].” <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/18-31.htm"><b>31</b></a></span>Then Pilate said to them, “Take Him yourselves and judge Him according to your own law.” The Jews said, “We are not permitted to put anyone to death.” <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/18-32.htm"><b>32</b></a></span><i>This was</i> to fulfill the word which Jesus had spoken to indicate by what manner of death He was going to die. <p class="paragraph"><span class="reftext"><a href="/john/18-33.htm"><b>33</b></a></span>So Pilate went into the Praetorium again, and called Jesus and asked Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?” <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/18-34.htm"><b>34</b></a></span>Jesus replied, “Are you saying this on your own initiative, or did others tell you about Me?” <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/18-35.htm"><b>35</b></a></span>Pilate answered, “I am not a Jew, am I? Your own people and their chief priests have handed You over to me. What have You done [that is worthy of death]?” <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/18-36.htm"><b>36</b></a></span>Jesus replied, “My kingdom is not of this world [nor does it have its origin in this world]. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would be fighting [hard] to keep Me from being handed over to the Jews; but as it is, My kingdom is not of this world.” <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/18-37.htm"><b>37</b></a></span>So Pilate said to Him, “Then You are a King?” Jesus answered, “You say [correctly] that I am a King. This is why I was born, and for this I have come into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth [who is a friend of the truth and belongs to the truth] hears <i>and</i> listens carefully to My voice.” <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/18-38.htm"><b>38</b></a></span>Pilate said to Him [scornfully], “What is truth?” <p class="paragraph"> And when he had said this, he went out to the Jews again and told them, “I find no guilt in Him [no crime, no cause for an accusation]. <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/18-39.htm"><b>39</b></a></span>But you have a custom that I release someone for you at the Passover.
