1 When Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with his disciples over the brook Kedron, where was a garden, into which he entered, and his disciples.
16 But Peter stood at the door without. Then went out that other disciple who was known to the high priest, and spoke to her that kept the door, and brought in Peter.
17 Then saith the damsel that kept the door to Peter, Art not thou also one of this man's disciples? He saith, I am not.
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 stood with them, and warmed himself.
20 Jesus answered him, I spoke 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.
21 Why dost thou ask me? ask them who heard me, what I have said to them: behold, they know what I have said.
22 And when he had thus spoken, one of the officers who stood by, struck Jesus with the palm of his hand, saying, Answerest thou the high priest so?
23 Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear testimony of the evil: but if well, why smitest thou me?
24 (Now Annas had sent him bound to Caiaphas the high priest.)
25 And Simon Peter stood and warmed himself. They said therefore to him, Art not thou also one of his disciples? He denied it, and said, I am not.
26 One of the servants of the high priest (being the kinsman of him whose ear Peter cut off) saith, Did not I see thee in the garden with him?
27 Peter then denied again, and immediately the cock crowed.
28 Then they led Jesus from Caiaphas to 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.
29 Pilate then went out to them, and said, What accusation bring ye against this man?
30 They answered and said to him, If he were not a malefactor, we would not have delivered him up to thee.
31 Then said Pilate to them, Take ye him, and judge him according to your law. The Jews therefore said to him, It is not lawful for us to put any man to death:
32 That the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spoke, signifying what death he should die.
33 Then Pilate entered into the judgment-hall again, and called Jesus, and said to him, Art thou the King of the Jews?
34 Jesus answered him, Sayest thou this thing from thyself, or did others tell it thee concerning me?
37 Pilate therefore said to him, Art thou a King then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a King. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should testify to the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.
38 Pilate saith to him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again to the Jews, and saith to them, I find in him no fault.
39 But ye have a custom that I should release to you one at the passover: will ye therefore that I release to you the King of the Jews?
40 Then they all cried again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.
