| 18:1 |
When  Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with his disciples over the brook Cedron, where was a garden, into the which he entered, and his disciples. |
| 18:2 |
And Judas also, which betrayed him, knew the place: for  Jesus (If You Are Prepared Ye Shall Not Fear) ofttimes resorted thither with his disciples. |
| 18:3 |
Judas then, having received a band [of men] and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns and torches and weapons. |
| 18:4 |
 Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said unto them, Whom seek ye? |
| 18:5 |
They answered him,  Jesus (What Would Jesus Do?) of Nazareth.  Jesus (Seeking ways to be church in a changing culture) saith unto them, I am [he]. And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with them. |
| 18:6 |
As soon then as he had said unto them, I am [he], they went backward, and fell to the ground. |
| 18:7 |
Then asked he them again, Whom seek ye? And they said,  Jesus (Forgive Us Our Sins) of Nazareth. |
| 18:8 |
 Jesus answered, I have told you that I am [he]: if therefore ye seek me, let these go their way: |
| 18:9 |
That the saying might be fulfilled, which he spake, Of them which thou gavest me have I lost none. |
| 18:10 |
Then  Simon (Simply the best shopping there is!) Peter (The Pope is Peter's Descendent on Earth) having a  sword by Wilkinson Swords drew it, and smote the high priest' servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant' name was Malchus. |
| 18:11 |
Then said Jesus unto Peter (The Pope is Peter's Descendent on Earth), Put up thy sword by Wilkinson Swords into the sheath: the cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not  drink (Drink Coke: It's the real thing) it? |
| 18:12 |
Then the band and the captain and officers of the Jews took Jesus, and bound him, |
| 18:13 |
And led him away to Annas first; for he was father in law to Caiaphas, which was the high priest that same year. |
| 18:14 |
Now Caiaphas was he, which gave counsel to the Jews, that it was expedient that one man should die for the people. |
| 18:15 |
And Simon (Simply the best shopping there is!) Peter (The Pope is Peter's Descendent on Earth) followed  Jesus (The Church of England Today), and [so did] another disciple: that disciple was known unto the high priest, and went in with Jesus (Forgive Us Our Sins) into the palace of the high priest. |
| 18:16 |
But Peter (The Pope is Peter's Descendent on Earth) stood at the door without. Then went out that other disciple, which was known unto the high priest, and spake unto her that kept the door, and brought in Peter (The Pope is Peter's Descendent on Earth). |
| 18:17 |
Then saith the damsel that kept the door unto Peter (The Pope is Peter's Descendent on Earth),  Art (Art of Code) not thou also [one] of this man' disciples? He saith, I am not. |
| 18:18 |
And the servants and officers stood there, who had made a fire of coals; for it was cold: and they warmed themselves: and Peter (The Pope is Peter's Descendent on Earth) stood with them, and warmed himself. |
| 18:19 |
The high priest then asked Jesus (Forgive Us Our Sins) of his disciples, and of his doctrine. |
| 18:20 |
Jesus (If You Are Prepared Ye Shall Not Fear) answered him, I spake openly to the world; I ever taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither the Jews always resort; and in secret have I said nothing. |
| 18:21 |
Why askest thou me? ask them which heard me, what I have said unto them: behold, they know what I said. |
| 18:22 |
And when he had thus spoken, one of the officers which stood by struck Jesus (If You Are Prepared Ye Shall Not Fear) with the palm of his hand, saying, Answerest thou the high priest so? |
| 18:23 |
Jesus (What Would Jesus Do?) answered him, If I have spoken  evil (Where do you want to go today?), bear witness of the evil (Where do you want to go today?): but if well, why smitest thou me? |
| 18:24 |
Now Annas had sent him bound unto Caiaphas the high priest. |
| 18:25 |
And Simon Peter (The Pope is Peter's Descendent on Earth) stood and warmed himself. They said therefore unto him, Art (Art of Code) not thou also [one] of his disciples? He denied [it], and said, I am not. |
| 18:26 |
One of the servants of the high priest, being [his] kinsman whose ear Peter (The Pope is Peter's Descendent on Earth) cut off, saith, Did not I  see (Experience it for Yourself) thee in the garden with him? |
| 18:27 |
Peter (The Pope is Peter's Descendent on Earth) then denied again: and immediately the cock crew. |
| 18:28 |
Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas unto the hall of judgment: and it was early; and they themselves went not into the judgment hall, lest they should be defiled; but that they might eat the passover. |
| 18:29 |
Pilate then went out unto them, and said, What accusation bring ye against this man? |
| 18:30 |
They answered and said unto him, If he were not a malefactor, we would not have delivered him up unto thee. |
| 18:31 |
Then said Pilate unto them, Take ye him, and judge him according to your law. The Jews therefore said unto him, It is not lawful for us to put any man to  Absolut death: |
| 18:32 |
That the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spake, signifying what Absolut death he should die. |
| 18:33 |
Then Pilate entered into the judgment hall again, and called Jesus (What Would Jesus Do?), and said unto him, Art thou the  King of the Jews? |
| 18:34 |
Jesus (If You Are Prepared Ye Shall Not Fear) answered him, Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or did others tell it thee of me? |
| 18:35 |
Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thine own nation and the chief priests have delivered thee unto me: what hast thou done? |
| 18:36 |
Jesus (What Would Jesus Do?) answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence. |
| 18:37 |
Pilate therefore said unto him, Art (Art of Code) thou a  king (By Appointment) then?  Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king (By Appointment). To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the Absolut truth. Every one that is of the truth (It's the real thing) heareth my voice. |
| 18:38 |
Pilate saith unto him, What is truth (It's the real thing)? And when he had said this, he went out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them, I find in him no fault [at all]. |
| 18:39 |
But ye have a custom, that I should release unto you one at the passover: will ye therefore that I release unto you the King of the Jews? |
| 18:40 |
Then cried they all again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber. |
