| John 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. | After offering this prayer Jesus went out with His disciples to a place on the further side of the Ravine of the Cedars, where there was a garden which He entered Himself and His disciples. | When Jesus had said these words he went out with his disciples over the stream Kedron to a garden, into which he went with his disciples. |
| John 18:2 | And Judas also, which betrayed him, knew the place: for Jesus ofttimes resorted thither with his disciples. | Now Judas also, who at that very time was betraying Him, knew the place, for Jesus had often resorted there with His disciples. | And Judas, who was false to him, had knowledge of the place because Jesus went there frequently with his disciples. |
| John 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. | So Judas, followed by the battalion and by a detachment of the Temple police sent by the High Priests and Pharisees, came there with torches and lamps and weapons. | So Judas, getting a band of armed men and police from the chief priests and Pharisees, went there with lights and with arms. |
| John 18:4 | Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said unto them, Whom seek ye? | Jesus therefore, knowing all that was about to befall Him, went out to meet them.

| John 18:5 | They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, I am he. And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with them. | "For Jesus the Nazarene," was the answer. "I am he," He replied. (Now Judas who was betraying Him was also standing with them.) | Their answer was, Jesus the Nazarene. Jesus said, I am he. And Judas, who was false to him, was there at their side. |

| John 18:7 | Then asked he them again, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth. | Again therefore He asked them, "Who are you looking for?" "For Jesus the Nazarene," they said. | So again he put the question to them, Who are you looking for? And they said, Jesus the Nazarene. |
| John 18:8 | Jesus answered, I have told you that I am he: if therefore ye seek me, let these go their way: | "I have told you," replied Jesus, "that I am he. If therefore you are looking for me, let these my disciples go their way." | Jesus made answer, I have said that I am he; if you are looking for me, let these men go away. |
| John 18:9 | That the saying might be fulfilled, which he spake, Of them which thou gavest me have I lost none. | He made this request in order that the words He had spoken might be fulfilled, "As for those whom Thou hast given me, I have not lost one." | (He said this so that his words might come true, I have kept safe all those whom you gave to me.) |

| John 18:11 | Then said Jesus unto Peter, Put up thy sword into the sheath: the cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it? | Jesus therefore said to Peter, "Put back your sword. Shall I refuse to drink the cup of sorrow which the Father has given me to drink?" | Then Jesus said to Peter, Put back your sword: am I not to take the cup which my Father has given to me? |
| John 18:12 | Then the band and the captain and officers of the Jews took Jesus, and bound him, | So the battalion and their tribune and the Jewish police closed in, and took Jesus and bound Him. | Then the band and the chief captain and the police took Jesus and put cords round him. |

| John 18:16 | But Peter 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. | But Peter remained standing outside the door, till the disciple who was acquainted with the High Priest came out and induced the portress to let Peter in. | But Peter was kept outside at the door. Then this other disciple, who was a friend of the high priest, came out and had a word with the girl who kept the door, and took Peter in. |
| John 18:17 | Then saith the damsel that kept the door unto Peter, Art not thou also one of this man's disciples? He saith, I am not. | This led the girl, the portress, to ask Peter, "Are you also one of this man's disciples?" "No, I am not," he replied. | Then the girl who was the door-keeper said to Peter, Are you not one of this man's disciples? In answer he said, I am not. |

| John 18:19 | The high priest then asked Jesus of his disciples, and of his doctrine. | So the High Priest questioned Jesus about His disciples and His teaching. | Then the high priest put questions to Jesus about his disciples and his teaching. |
| John 18:20 | Jesus 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. | "As for me," replied Jesus, "I have spoken openly to the world. I have continually taught in some synagogue or in the Temple where all the Jews are wont to assemble, and I have said nothing in secret. | Jesus made answer, I said things openly to the world at all times; I have given my teaching in the Synagogues and in the Temple to which all the Jews come; and I have said nothing secretly. |
| John 18:21 | Why askest thou me? ask them which heard me, what I have said unto them: behold, they know what I said. | Why do you question me?

| John 18:22 | And when he had thus spoken, one of the officers which stood by struck Jesus with the palm of his hand, saying, Answerest thou the high priest so? | Upon His saying this, one of the officers standing by struck Him with his open hand, asking Him as he did so, "Is that the way you answer the High Priest?" | When he said this, one of the police by his side gave him a blow with his open hand, saying, Do you give such an answer to the high priest? |
| John 18:23 | Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil: but if well, why smitest thou me? | "If I have spoken wrongly," replied Jesus, "bear witness to it as wrong; but if rightly, why that blow?" | Jesus said in answer, If I have said anything evil, give witness to the evil: but if I said what is true, why do you give me blows? |

It was the early morning, and they would not enter the Praetorium themselves for fear of defilement, and in order that they might be able to eat the Passover. | So they took Jesus from the house of Caiaphas to the Praetorium.

| John 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 death: | "Take him yourselves," said Pilate, "and judge him by your Law." "We have no power," replied the Jews, "to put any man to death." | Then Pilate said to them, Take him yourselves and let him be judged by your law. But the Jews said to him, We have no right to put any man to death. |
| John 18:32 | That the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spake, signifying what death he should die. | They said this that the words might be fulfilled in which Jesus predicted the kind of death He was to die. | (That the word of Jesus might come true, pointing to the sort of death he would have.) |

| John 18:34 | Jesus answered him, Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or did others tell it thee of me? | "Do you say this of yourself, or have others told it you about me?" replied Jesus. | Jesus made answer, Do you say this of yourself, or did others say it about me? |
| John 18:35 | Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thine own nation and the chief priests have delivered thee unto me: what hast thou done? | "Am I a Jew?" exclaimed Pilate; "it is your own nation and the High Priests who have handed you over to me. What have you done?" | Pilate said, Am I a Jew? Your nation and the chief priests have given you into my hands: what have you done? |
| John 18:36 | Jesus 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. | "My kingdom," replied Jesus, "does not belong to this world. If my kingdom did belong to this world, my subjects would have resolutely fought to save me from being delivered up to the Jews. But, as a matter of fact, my kingdom has not this origin." | Jesus said in answer, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom was of this world, my disciples would have made a good fight to keep me out of the hands of the Jews: but my kingdom is not here. |
| John 18:37 | Pilate therefore said unto 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 bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice. | "So then *you* are a king!" rejoined Pilate. "Yes," said Jesus, "you say truly that I am a king. For this purpose I was born, and for this purpose I have come into the world to give testimony for the truth. Every one who is a friend of the truth listens to my voice." | Then Pilate said to him, Are you then a king? Jesus made answer, You say that I am a king. For this purpose was I given birth, and for this purpose I came into the world, that I might give witness to what is true. Every lover of what is true gives ear to my voice. |
| John 18:38 | Pilate saith unto him, What is truth? 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. | "What is truth?" said Pilate. But no sooner had he spoken the words than he went out again to the Jews and told them, "I find no crime in him. | Pilate said to him, True? what is true? Having said this he went out again to the Jews and said to them, I see no wrong in him. |
| John 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? | But you have a custom that I should release one prisoner to you at the Passover. So shall I release to you the King of the Jews?" | But every year you make a request to me to let a prisoner go free at the Passover. Is it your desire that I let the King of the Jews go free? |
| John 18:40 | Then cried they all again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber. | With a roar of voices they again cried out, saying, "Not this man, but Barabbas!"
