John 18 (WEBP)
[1] When Jesus had spoken these words, he went out with his disciples over the brook Kidron, where there was a garden, into which he and his disciples entered.
[2] Now Judas, who betrayed him, also knew the place, for Jesus often met there with his disciples.
[3] Judas then, having taken a detachment of soldiers and officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, came there with lanterns, torches, and weapons.
[4] Jesus therefore, knowing all the things that were happening to him, went out and said to them, “Who are you looking for?”
[5] They answered him, “Jesus of Nazareth.” Jesus said to them, “I am he.” Judas also, who betrayed him, was standing with them.
[6] When therefore he said to them, “I am he,” they went backward and fell to the ground.
[7] Again therefore he asked them, “Who are you looking for?” They said, “Jesus of Nazareth.”
[8] Jesus answered, “I told you that I am he. If therefore you seek me, let these go their way,”
[9] that the word might be fulfilled which he spoke, “Of those whom you have given me, I have lost none.”†
[10] Simon Peter therefore, having a sword, drew it, struck the high priest’s servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant’s name was Malchus.
[11] Jesus therefore said to Peter, “Put the sword into its sheath. The cup which the Father has given me, shall I not surely drink it?”
[12] So the detachment, the commanding officer, and the officers of the Jews seized Jesus and bound him,
[13] and led him to Annas first, for he was father-in-law to Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.
[14] Now it was Caiaphas who advised the Jews that it was expedient that one man should perish for the people.
[15] Simon Peter followed Jesus, as did another disciple. Now that disciple was known to the high priest, and entered in with Jesus into the court of the high priest;
[16] but Peter was standing at the door outside. So the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to her who kept the door, and brought in Peter.
[17] Then the maid who kept the door said to Peter, “Are you also one of this man’s disciples?” He said, “I am not.”
[18] Now the servants and the officers were standing there, having made a fire of coals, for it was cold. They were warming themselves. Peter was with them, standing and warming himself.
[19] The high priest therefore asked Jesus about his disciples and about his teaching.
[20] Jesus answered him, “I spoke openly to the world. I always taught in synagogues and in the temple, where the Jews always meet. I said nothing in secret.
[21] Why do you ask me? Ask those who have heard me what I said to them. Behold, they know the things which I said.”
[22] When he had said this, one of the officers standing by slapped Jesus with his hand, saying, “Do you answer the high priest like that?”
[23] Jesus answered him, “If I have spoken evil, testify of the evil; but if well, why do you beat me?”
[24] Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas, the high priest.
[25] Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They said therefore to him, “You aren’t also one of his disciples, are you?” He denied it and said, “I am not.”
[26] One of the servants of the high priest, being a relative of him whose ear Peter had cut off, said, “Didn’t I see you in the garden with him?”
[27] Peter therefore denied it again, and immediately the rooster crowed.
[28] They led Jesus therefore from Caiaphas into the Praetorium. It was early, and they themselves didn’t enter into the Praetorium, that they might not be defiled, but might eat the Passover.
[29] Pilate therefore went out to them and said, “What accusation do you bring against this man?”
[30] They answered him, “If this man weren’t an evildoer, we wouldn’t have delivered him up to you.”
[31] Pilate therefore said to them, “Take him yourselves, and judge him according to your law.” Therefore the Jews said to him, “It is illegal for us to put anyone to death,”
[32] that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spoke, signifying by what kind of death he should die.
[33] Pilate therefore entered again into the Praetorium, called Jesus, and said to him, “Are you the King of the Jews?”
[34] Jesus answered him, “Do you say this by yourself, or did others tell you about me?”
[35] Pilate answered, “I’m not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests delivered you to me. What have you done?”
[36] Jesus answered, “My Kingdom is not of this world. If my Kingdom were of this world, then my servants would fight, that I wouldn’t be delivered to the Jews. But now my Kingdom is not from here.”
[37] Pilate therefore said to him, “Are you a king then?” Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. For this reason I have been born, and for this reason I have come into the world, that I should testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to my voice.”
[38] Pilate said to him, “What is truth?” When he had said this, he went out again to the Jews, and said to them, “I find no basis for a charge against him.
[39] But you have a custom that I should release someone to you at the Passover. Therefore, do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?”
[40] Then they all shouted again, saying, “Not this man, but Barabbas!” Now Barabbas was a robber.

John 18 (KJVS)
[1] When Jesus G2424 had spoken G2036 (Aor2ActPtc) these words G5023, he went forth G1831 (Aor2ActInd) with G4862 his G846 disciples G3101 over G4008 the brook G5493 Cedron G2748, where G3699 was G2258 (ImpfInd) a garden G2779, into G1519 the which G3739 he G846 entered G1525 (Aor2ActInd), and G2532 his G846 disciples G3101.
[2] And G1161 Judas G2455 also G2532, which G3588 betrayed G3860 (PresActPtc) him G846, knew G1492 (PlupfActInd) the place G5117: for G3754 Jesus G2424 ofttimes G4178 resorted G4863 (AorPasInd) thither G1563 with G3326 his G846 disciples G3101.
[3] Judas G2455 then G3767, having received G2983 (Aor2ActPtc) a band G4686 [of men] and G2532 officers G5257 from G1537 the chief priests G749 and G2532 Pharisees G5330, cometh G2064 (PresMidPasDepInd) thither G1563 with G3326 lanterns G5322 and G2532 torches G2985 and G2532 weapons G3696.
[4] Jesus G2424 therefore G3767, knowing G1492 (PerfActPtc) all things G3956 that should come G2064 (PresMidPasDepPtc) upon G1909 him G846, went forth G1831 (Aor2ActPtc), and said G2036 (Aor2ActInd) unto them G846, Whom G5101 seek ye G2212 (PresActInd)?
[5] They answered G611 (AorMidDepInd) him G846, Jesus G2424 of Nazareth G3480. Jesus G2424 saith G3004 (PresActInd) unto them G846, I G1473 am G1510 (PresInd) [he]. And G1161 Judas G2455 also G2532, which G3588 betrayed G3860 (PresActPtc) him G846, stood G2476 (PlupfActInd) with G3326 them G846.
[6] As soon G5613 then G3767 as he had said G2036 (Aor2ActInd) unto them G846, G3754 I G1473 am G1510 (PresInd) [he], they went G565 (Aor2ActInd) backward G1519 G3694, and G2532 fell G4098 (Aor2ActInd) to the ground G5476.
[7] Then G3767 asked he G1905 (AorActInd) them G846 again G3825, Whom G5101 seek ye G2212 (PresActInd)? And G1161 they said G2036 (Aor2ActInd), Jesus G2424 of Nazareth G3480.
[8] Jesus G2424 answered G611 (AorMidDepInd), I have told G2036 (Aor2ActInd) you G5213 that G3754 I G1473 am G1510 (PresInd) [he]: if G1487 therefore G3767 ye seek G2212 (PresActInd) me G1691, let G863 (Aor2ActImpr) these G5128 go their way G5217 (PresActInf):
[9] That G2443 the saying G3056 might be fulfilled G4137 (AorPasSubj), which G3739 he spake G2036 (Aor2ActInd), G3754 Of G1537 them G846 which G3739 thou gavest G1325 (PerfActInd) me G3427 have I G3756 lost G622 (AorActInd) none G3762.
[10] Then G3767 Simon G4613 Peter G4074 having G2192 (PresActPtc) a sword G3162 drew G1670 (AorActInd) it G846, and G2532 smote G3817 (AorActInd) the high priest’s G749 servant G1401, and G2532 cut off G609 (AorActInd) his G846 right G1188 ear G5621. G1161 The servant’s G1401 name G3686 was G2258 (ImpfInd) Malchus G3124.
[11] Then G3767 said G2036 (Aor2ActInd) Jesus G2424 unto Peter G4074, Put up G906 (Aor2ActImpr) thy G4675 sword G3162 into G1519 the sheath G2336: the cup G4221 which G3739 my Father G3962 hath given G1325 (PerfActInd) me G3427, shall I G4095 not G3378 drink G4095 (Aor2ActSubj) it G846?
[12] Then G3767 the band G4686 and G2532 the captain G5506 and G2532 officers G5257 of the Jews G2453 took G4815 (Aor2ActInd) Jesus G2424, and G2532 bound G1210 (AorActInd) him G846,
[13] And G2532 led G520 him G846 away G520 (Aor2ActInd) to G4314 Annas G452 first G4412; for G1063 he was G2258 (ImpfInd) father in law G3995 to Caiaphas G2533, which G3739 was G2258 (ImpfInd) the high priest G749 that same G1565 year G1763.
[14] Now G1161 Caiaphas G2533 was he G2258 (ImpfInd), which G3588 gave counsel G4823 (AorActPtc) to the Jews G2453, that G3754 it was expedient G4851 (PresActInd) that one G1520 man G444 should die G622 (Aor2MidInf) for G5228 the people G2992.
[15] And G1161 Simon G4613 Peter G4074 followed G190 (ImpfActInd) Jesus G2424, and G2532 [so did] another G243 disciple G3101: G1161 that G1565 disciple G3101 was G2258 (ImpfInd) known G1110 unto the high priest G749, and G2532 went in with G4897 (Aor2ActInd) Jesus G2424 into G1519 the palace G833 of the high priest G749.
[16] But G1161 Peter G4074 stood G2476 (PlupfActInd) at G4314 the door G2374 without G1854. Then G3767 went out G1831 (Aor2ActInd) that other G243 disciple G3101, which G3739 was G2258 (ImpfInd) known G1110 unto the high priest G749, and G2532 spake G2036 (Aor2ActInd) unto her that kept the door G2377, and G2532 brought in G1521 (Aor2ActInd) Peter G4074.
[17] Then G3767 saith G3004 (PresActInd) the damsel G3814 that kept the door G2377 unto Peter G4074, Art G1488 (PresInd) not G3361 thou G4771 also G2532 [one] of G1537 this G5127 man’s G444 disciples G3101? He G1565 saith G3004 (PresActInd), I am G1510 (PresInd) not G3756.
[18] And G1161 the servants G1401 and G2532 officers G5257 stood there G2476 (PlupfActInd), who had made G4160 (PerfActPtc) a fire of coals G439; for G3754 it was G2258 (ImpfInd) cold G5592: and G2532 they warmed themselves G2328 (ImpfMidPasDepInd): and G1161 Peter G4074 stood G2258 (ImpfInd) G2476 (PerfActPtc) with G3326 them G846, and G2532 warmed himself G2328 (PresMidPtc).
[19] The high priest G749 then G3767 asked G2065 (AorActInd) Jesus G2424 of G4012 his G846 disciples G3101, and G2532 of G4012 his G846 doctrine G1322.
[20] Jesus G2424 answered G611 (AorMidDepInd) him G846, I G1473 spake G2980 (AorActInd) openly G3954 to the world G2889; I G1473 ever G3842 taught G1321 (AorActInd) in G1722 the synagogue G4864, and G2532 in G1722 the temple G2411, whither G3699 the Jews G2453 always G3842 resort G4905 (PresMidPasDepInd); and G2532 in G1722 secret G2927 have I said G2980 (AorActInd) nothing G3762.
[21] Why G5101 askest thou G1905 (PresActInd) me G3165? ask G1905 (AorActImpr) them which heard me G191 (Perf2ActPtc), what G5101 I have said G2980 (AorActInd) unto them G846: behold G2396, they G3778 know G1492 (PerfActInd) what G3739 I G1473 said G2036 (Aor2ActInd).
[22] And G1161 when he G846 had G2036 thus G5023 spoken G2036 (Aor2ActPtc), one G1520 of the officers G5257 which stood by G3936 (PerfActPtc) struck G1325 G4475 Jesus G2424 with the palm of his hand G1325 (AorActInd) G4475, saying G2036 (Aor2ActPtc), Answerest thou G611 (PresMidPasDepInd) the high priest G749 so G3779?
[23] Jesus G2424 answered G611 (AorMidDepInd) him G846, If G1487 I have spoken G2980 (AorActInd) evil G2560, bear witness G3140 (AorActImpr) of G4012 the evil G2556: but G1161 if G1487 well G2573, why G5101 smitest G1194 (PresActInd) thou me G3165?
[24] Now Annas G452 had sent G649 (AorActInd) him G846 bound G1210 (PerfPasPtc) unto G4314 Caiaphas G2533 the high priest G749.
[25] And G1161 Simon G4613 Peter G4074 stood G2258 (ImpfInd) G2476 (PerfActPtc) and G2532 warmed himself G2328 (PresMidPtc). They said G2036 (Aor2ActInd) therefore G3767 unto him G846, Art G1488 (PresInd) not G3361 thou G4771 also G2532 [one] of G1537 his G846 disciples G3101? He G1565 denied G720 (AorMidDepInd) [it], and G2532 said G2036 (Aor2ActInd), I am G1510 (PresInd) not G3756.
[26] One G1520 of G1537 the servants G1401 of the high priest G749, being G5607 (PresPtc) [his] kinsman G4773 whose G3739 ear G5621 Peter G4074 cut off G609 (AorActInd), saith G3004 (PresActInd), Did G1492 not G3756 I G1473 see G1492 (Aor2ActInd) thee G4571 in G1722 the garden G2779 with G3326 him G846?
[27] Peter G4074 then G3767 denied G720 (AorMidDepInd) again G3825: and G2532 immediately G2112 the cock G220 crew G5455 (AorActInd).
[28] Then G3767 led they G71 (PresActInd) Jesus G2424 from G575 Caiaphas G2533 unto G1519 the hall of judgment G4232: and G1161 it was G2258 (ImpfInd) early G4405; and G2532 they themselves G846 went G1525 (Aor2ActInd) not G3756 into G1519 the judgment hall G4232, lest G3363 they should be defiled G3392 (AorPasSubj); but G235 that G2443 they might eat G5315 (Aor2ActSubj) the passover G3957.
[29] Pilate G4091 then G3767 went out G1831 (Aor2ActInd) unto G4314 them G846, and G2532 said G2036 (Aor2ActInd), What G5101 accusation G2724 bring ye G5342 (PresActInd) against G2596 this G5127 man G444?
[30] They answered G611 (AorMidDepInd) and G2532 said G2036 (Aor2ActInd) unto him G846, If G1508 he G3778 were G2258 (ImpfInd) not G1508 a malefactor G2555, we would G302 not G3756 have delivered G3860 him G846 up G3860 (AorActInd) unto thee G4671.
[31] Then G3767 said G2036 (Aor2ActInd) Pilate G4091 unto them G846, Take G2983 (Aor2ActImpr) ye G5210 him G846, and G2532 judge G2919 (AorActImpr) him G846 according G2596 to your G5216 law G3551. The Jews G2453 therefore G3767 said G2036 (Aor2ActInd) unto him G846, It is G1832 not G3756 lawful G1832 (PresInd) for us G2254 to put G615 any man G3762 to death G615 (AorActInf):
[32] That G2443 the saying G3056 of Jesus G2424 might be fulfilled G4137 (AorPasSubj), which G3739 he spake G2036 (Aor2ActInd), signifying G4591 (PresActPtc) what G4169 death G2288 he should G3195 (ImpfActInd) die G599 (PresActInf).
[33] Then G3767 Pilate G4091 entered G1525 (Aor2ActInd) into G1519 the judgment hall G4232 again G3825, and G2532 called G5455 (AorActInd) Jesus G2424, and G2532 said G2036 (Aor2ActInd) unto him G846, Art G1488 (PresInd) thou G4771 the King G935 of the Jews G2453?
[34] Jesus G2424 answered G611 (AorMidDepInd) him G846, Sayest G3004 (PresActInd) thou G4771 this thing G5124 of G575 thyself G1438, or G2228 did others G243 tell it G2036 (Aor2ActInd) thee G4671 of G4012 me G1700?
[35] Pilate G4091 answered G611 (AorMidDepInd), G3385 Am G1510 (PresInd) I G1473 a Jew G2453? Thine own G4674 nation G1484 and G2532 the chief priests G749 have delivered G3860 (AorActInd) thee G4571 unto me G1698: what G5101 hast thou done G4160 (AorActInd)?
[36] Jesus G2424 answered G611 (AorMidDepInd), My G1699 kingdom G932 is G2076 (PresInd) not G3756 of G1537 this G5127 world G2889: if G1487 my G1699 kingdom G932 were G2258 (ImpfInd) of G1537 this G5127 world G2889, then would G302 my G1699 servants G5257 fight G75 (ImpfMidPasDepInd), that G3363 I should G3860 not G3363 be delivered G3860 (AorPasSubj) to the Jews G2453: but G1161 now G3568 is G2076 (PresInd) my G1699 kingdom G932 not G3756 from hence G1782.
[37] Pilate G4091 therefore G3767 said G2036 (Aor2ActInd) unto him G846, Art G1488 (PresInd) thou G4771 a king G935 then G3766? Jesus G2424 answered G611 (AorMidDepInd), Thou G4771 sayest G3004 (PresActInd) that G3754 I G1473 am G1510 (PresInd) a king G935. To G1519 this G5124 end was G1080 I G1473 born G1080 (PerfPasInd), and G2532 for G1519 this G5124 cause came I G2064 (Perf2ActInd) into G1519 the world G2889, that G2443 I should bear witness G3140 (AorActSubj) unto the truth G225. Every one G3956 that is G5607 (PresPtc) of G1537 the truth G225 heareth G191 (PresActInd) my G3450 voice G5456.
[38] Pilate G4091 saith G3004 (PresActInd) unto him G846, What G5101 is G2076 (PresInd) truth G225? And G2532 when he had said G2036 (Aor2ActPtc) this G5124, he went out G1831 (Aor2ActInd) again G3825 unto G4314 the Jews G2453, and G2532 saith G3004 (PresActInd) unto them G846, I G1473 find G2147 (PresActInd) in G1722 him G846 no G3762 fault G156 [at all].
[39] But G1161 ye G5213 have G2076 (PresInd) a custom G4914, that G2443 I should release G630 (AorActSubj) unto you G5213 one G1520 at G1722 the passover G3957: will ye G1014 (PresMidPasDepInd) therefore G3767 that I release G630 (AorActSubj) unto you G5213 the King G935 of the Jews G2453?
[40] Then G3767 cried they G2905 (AorActInd) all G3956 again G3825, saying G3004 (PresActPtc), Not G3361 this man G5126, but G235 Barabbas G912. Now G1161 Barabbas
