There was an orchard there, and he and his disciples went into it. |
| 2Judas, who betrayed him, also knew the place, because Jesus often met there with his disciples. | 2(Now Judas, the one who betrayed him, knew the place too, because Jesus had met there many times with his disciples.) |
| 3So Judas took a company of soldiers and some officials from the chief priests and the Pharisees and came there with lanterns, torches, and weapons. | 3So Judas obtained a squad of soldiers and some officers of the chief priests and Pharisees.

| 4Then Jesus, knowing everything that was about to happen to him, went out and said to them, "Who is it that you're seeking?" | 4Then Jesus, because he knew everything that was going to happen to him, came and asked them, "Who are you looking for?" |
| 5"Jesus of Nazareth," they answered. "I am he," Jesus told them. Judas, who betrayed him, was also standing with them. | 5They replied, "Jesus the Nazarene." He told them, "I am he." (Now Judas, the one who betrayed him, was standing there with them.) |
| 6When Jesus told them, "I am he," they stepped back and fell to the ground. | 6So when Jesus said to them, "I am he," they retreated and fell to the ground. |

| 11At that, Jesus said to Peter, "Put your sword away! Am I not to drink the cup the Father has given me?" | 11But Jesus said to Peter, "Put your sword back into its sheath! Am I not to drink the cup that the Father has given me?" |

| 14Caiaphas was the one who had advised the Jews that it would be better for one man to die for the people. | 14(Now it was Caiaphas who had advised the Jewish leaders that it was to their advantage that one man die for the people.) |

| 19The high priest questioned Jesus about his disciples and about his teaching. | 19While this was happening, the high priest questioned Jesus about his disciples and about his teaching. |
| 20"I have spoken openly to the world," Jesus answered him. "I have always taught in the synagogue and in the temple, where all the Jews congregate, and I haven't spoken anything in secret. | 20Jesus replied, "I have spoken publicly to the world. I always taught in the synagogues and in the temple courts, where all the Jewish people assemble together. I have said nothing in secret. |
| 21Why do you question me? Question those who heard what I told them. Look, they know what I said." | 21Why do you ask me? Ask those who heard what I said. They know what I said." |
| 22When he had said these things, one of the officials standing by slapped Jesus, saying, "Is this the way you answer the high priest?" | 22When Jesus had said this, one of the high priest's officers who stood nearby struck him on the face and said, "Is that the way you answer the high priest?" |
| 23"If I have spoken wrongly," Jesus answered him, "give evidence about the wrong; but if rightly, why do you hit me?" | 23Jesus replied, "If I have said something wrong, confirm what is wrong. But if I spoke correctly, why strike me?" |

They did not enter the headquarters themselves; otherwise they would be defiled and unable to eat the Passover. | 28Then they brought Jesus from Caiaphas to the Roman governor's residence.

| 29So Pilate came out to them and said, "What charge do you bring against this man?" | 29So Pilate came outside to them and said, "What accusation do you bring against this man?" |
| 30They answered him, "If this man weren't a criminal, we wouldn't have handed him over to you." | 30They replied, "If this man were not a criminal, we would not have handed him over to you." |
| 31Pilate told them, "You take him and judge him according to your law." "It's not legal for us to put anyone to death," the Jews declared. | 31Pilate told them, "Take him yourselves and pass judgment on him according to your own law!" The Jewish leaders replied, "We cannot legally put anyone to death." |
| 32They said this so that Jesus's words might be fulfilled indicating what kind of death he was going to die. | 32(This happened to fulfill the word Jesus had spoken when he indicated what kind of death he was going to die.) |
| 33Then Pilate went back into the headquarters, summoned Jesus, and said to him, "Are you the King of the Jews?" | 33So Pilate went back into the governor's residence, summoned Jesus, and asked him, "Are you the king of the Jews?" |
| 34Jesus answered, "Are you asking this on your own, or have others told you about me?" | 34Jesus replied, "Are you saying this on your own initiative, or have others told you about me?" |
| 35"I'm not a Jew, am I?" Pilate replied. "Your own nation and the chief priests handed you over to me. What have you done?" | 35Pilate answered, "I am not a Jew, am I? Your own people and your chief priests handed you over to me. What have you done?" |
| 36"My kingdom is not of this world," said Jesus. "If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would fight, so that I wouldn't be handed over to the Jews. But as it is, my kingdom is not from here." | 36Jesus replied, "My kingdom is not from this world. If my kingdom were from this world, my servants would be fighting to keep me from being handed over to the Jewish authorities. But as it is, my kingdom is not from here." |
| 37"You are a king then?" Pilate asked. "You say that I'm a king," Jesus replied. "I was born for this, and I have come into the world for this: to testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to my voice." | 37Then Pilate said, "So you are a king!" Jesus replied, "You say that I am a king. For this reason I was born, and for this reason I came into the world--to testify to the truth. Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to my voice." |
| 38"What is truth?" said Pilate. After he had said this, he went out to the Jews again and told them, "I find no grounds for charging him. | 38Pilate asked, "What is truth?" When he had said this he went back outside to the Jewish leaders and announced, "I find no basis for an accusation against him. |
