John 18
12So the band of soldiers and their captain and the officers of the Jews arrested Jesus and bound him.
13First they led him to Annas, for he was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.
14It was Caiaphas who had advised the Jews that it would be expedient that one man should die for the people.
15Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple. Since that disciple was known to the high priest, he entered with Jesus into the court of the high priest,
16but 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.
17The 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."
18Now the servants and officers had made a charcoal fire, because it was cold, and they were standing and warming themselves. Peter also was with them, standing and warming himself.
19The high priest then questioned Jesus about his disciples and his teaching.
20Jesus 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.
21Why do you ask me? Ask those who have heard me what I said to them; they know what I said."
22When 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?"
23Jesus 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?"
24Annas then sent him bound to Caiaphas the high priest.
25Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. So they said to him, "You also are not one of his disciples, are you?" He denied it and said, "I am not."
26One of the servants of the high priest, a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, asked, "Did I not see you in the garden with him?"
27Peter again denied it, and at once a rooster crowed.
28Then they led Jesus from the house of Caiaphas to the governor's headquarters. It was early morning. They themselves did not enter the governor's headquarters, so that they would not be defiled, but could eat the Passover.
29So Pilate went outside to them and said, "What accusation do you bring against this man?"
30They answered him, "If this man were not doing evil, we would not have delivered him over to you."
31Pilate 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."
32This was to fulfill the word that Jesus had spoken to show by what kind of death he was going to die.
33So Pilate entered his headquarters again and called Jesus and said to him, "Are you the King of the Jews?"
34Jesus answered, "Do you say this of your own accord, or did others say it to you about me?"
35Pilate answered, "Am I a Jew? Your own nation and the chief priests have delivered you over to me. What have you done?"
36Jesus 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."
37Then 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."
38Pilate 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.
39But 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?"
40They cried out again, "Not this man, but Barabbas!" Now Barabbas was a robber.
John 19
1Then Pilate took Jesus and flogged him.
2And the soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on his head and arrayed him in a purple robe.
3They came up to him, saying, "Hail, King of the Jews!" and struck him with their hands.
4Pilate went out again and said to them, "See, I am bringing him out to you that you may know that I find no guilt in him."
5So Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. Pilate said to them, "Behold the man!"
6When the chief priests and the officers saw him, they cried out, "Crucify him, crucify him!" Pilate said to them, "Take him yourselves and crucify him, for I find no guilt in him."
7The Jews answered him, "We have a law, and according to that law he ought to die because he has made himself the Son of God."
8When Pilate heard this statement, he was even more afraid.
9He entered his headquarters again and said to Jesus, "Where are you from?" But Jesus gave him no answer.
10So Pilate said to him, "You will not speak to me? Do you not know that I have authority to release you and authority to crucify you?"
11Jesus answered him, "You would have no authority over me at all unless it had been given you from above. Therefore he who delivered me over to you has the greater sin."
12From then on Pilate sought to release him, but the Jews cried out, "If you release this man, you are not Caesar's friend. Everyone who makes himself a king opposes Caesar."
13So when Pilate heard these words, he brought Jesus out and sat down on the judgment seat at a place called The Stone Pavement, and in Aramaic Gabbatha.
14Now it was the day of Preparation of the Passover. It was about the sixth hour. He said to the Jews, "Behold your King!"
15They cried out, "Away with him, away with him, crucify him!" Pilate said to them, "Shall I crucify your King?" The chief priests answered,.We have no king but Caesar."
16So he delivered him over to them to be crucified.So they took Jesus,
