Now Judas, who betrayed him, also knew the place, for Jesus often met there with his disciples.
Judas, the betrayer, knew this place, because Jesus had often gone there with his disciples.
So Judas, having procured a band of soldiers and some officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, went there with lanterns and torches and weapons.
The leading priests and Pharisees had given Judas a contingent of Roman soldiers and Temple guards to accompany him. Now with blazing torches, lanterns, and weapons, they arrived at the olive grove.
Then Jesus, knowing all that would happen to him, came forward and said to them, “Whom do you seek?”
Jesus fully realized all that was going to happen to him, so he stepped forward to meet them. “Who are you looking for?” he asked.
As Jesus said “I Am he,” they all drew back and fell to the ground!
So he asked them again, “Whom do you seek?” And they said, “Jesus of Nazareth.”
Once more he asked them, “Who are you looking for?”
And again they replied, “Jesus the Nazarene.”
And again they replied, “Jesus the Nazarene.”
Jesus answered, “I told you that I am he. So, if you seek me, let these men go.”
“I told you that I Am he,” Jesus said. “And since I am the one you want, let these others go.”
This was to fulfill the word that he had spoken: “Of those whom you gave me I have lost not one.”

Jesus at the High Priest’s House
So the soldiers, their commanding officer, and the Temple guards arrested Jesus and tied him up.
First they led him to Annas, for he was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.
It was Caiaphas who had advised the Jews that it would be expedient that one man should die for the people.
Caiaphas was the one who had told the other Jewish leaders, “It’s better that one man should die for the people.”
Peter Denies Jesus
Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple. Since that disciple was known to the high priest, he entered with Jesus into the courtyard of the high priest,

Peter’s First Denial
Simon Peter followed Jesus, as did another of the disciples. That other disciple was acquainted with the high priest, so he was allowed to enter the high priest’s courtyard with Jesus.
but Peter stood outside at the door. So the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to the servant girl who kept watch at the door, and brought Peter in.
Peter had to stay outside the gate. Then the disciple who knew the high priest spoke to the woman watching at the gate, and she let Peter in.
The servant girl at the door said to Peter, “You also are not one of this man’s disciples, are you?” He said, “I am not.”
The woman asked Peter, “You’re not one of that man’s disciples, are you?”
“No,” he said, “I am not.”
“No,” he said, “I am not.”
Because it was cold, the household servants and the guards had made a charcoal fire. They stood around it, warming themselves, and Peter stood with them, warming himself.

The High Priest Questions Jesus
Inside, the high priest began asking Jesus about his followers and what he had been teaching them.
Jesus answered him, “I have spoken openly to the world. I have always taught in synagogues and in the temple, where all Jews come together. I have said nothing in secret.
Why do you ask me? Ask those who have heard me what I said to them; they know what I said.”
Why are you asking me this question? Ask those who heard me. They know what I said.”
When he had said these things, one of the officers standing by struck Jesus with his hand, saying, “Is that how you answer the high priest?”
Then one of the Temple guards standing nearby slapped Jesus across the face. “Is that the way to answer the high priest?” he demanded.
Jesus answered him, “If what I said is wrong, bear witness about the wrong; but if what I said is right, why do you strike me?”
Jesus replied, “If I said anything wrong, you must prove it. But if I’m speaking the truth, why are you beating me?”
Annas then sent him bound to Caiaphas the high priest.
Then Annas bound Jesus and sent him to Caiaphas, the high priest.

Peter again denied it, and at once a rooster crowed.

So Pilate went outside to them and said, “What accusation do you bring against this man?”
So Pilate, the governor, went out to them and asked, “What is your charge against this man?”
They answered him, “If this man were not doing evil, we would not have delivered him over to you.”
“We wouldn’t have handed him over to you if he weren’t a criminal!” they retorted.
Pilate said to them, “Take him yourselves and judge him by your own law.” The Jews said to him, “It is not lawful for us to put anyone to death.”
“Then take him away and judge him by your own law,” Pilate told them.
“Only the Romans are permitted to execute someone,” the Jewish leaders replied.
“Only the Romans are permitted to execute someone,” the Jewish leaders replied.
This was to fulfill the word that Jesus had spoken to show by what kind of death he was going to die.
My Kingdom Is Not of This World
So Pilate entered his headquarters again and called Jesus and said to him, “Are you the King of the Jews?”

Then Pilate went back into his headquarters and called for Jesus to be brought to him. “Are you the king of the Jews?” he asked him.
Jesus answered, “Do you say this of your own accord, or did others say it to you about me?”
Jesus replied, “Is this your own question, or did others tell you about me?”
Pilate answered, “Am I a Jew? Your own nation and the chief priests have delivered you over to me. What have you done?”
“Am I a Jew?” Pilate retorted. “Your own people and their leading priests brought you to me for trial. Why? What have you done?”
Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would have been fighting, that I might not be delivered over to the Jews. But my kingdom is not from the world.”
Jesus answered, “My Kingdom is not an earthly kingdom. If it were, my followers would fight to keep me from being handed over to the Jewish leaders. But my Kingdom is not of this world.”
Then Pilate said to him, “So you are a king?” Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. For this purpose I was born and for this purpose I have come into the world — to bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to my voice.”
Pilate said, “So you are a king?”
Jesus responded, “You say I am a king. Actually, I was born and came into the world to testify to the truth. All who love the truth recognize that what I say is true.”
Jesus responded, “You say I am a king. Actually, I was born and came into the world to testify to the truth. All who love the truth recognize that what I say is true.”
Pilate said to him, “What is truth?”
After he had said this, he went back outside to the Jews and told them, “I find no guilt in him.
After he had said this, he went back outside to the Jews and told them, “I find no guilt in him.
“What is truth?” Pilate asked. Then he went out again to the people and told them, “He is not guilty of any crime.
But you have a custom that I should release one man for you at the Passover. So do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?”
But you have a custom of asking me to release one prisoner each year at Passover. Would you like me to release this ‘King of the Jews’?”
