John 18:21 - Prayer Tents

18After Jesus had said these things, He went out with His disciples across the Kidron Valley, where there was a garden, and He and His disciples went into it.G2424G2036G5023G1831G4862G846G3101G4008G5493G2748G3699G2258G2779G1519G3739G846G1525G2532G846G3101 2Judas, who betrayed Him, also knew the place, because Jesus often met there with His disciples.G1161G2455G2532G3588G3860G846G1492G5117G3754G2424G4178G4863G1563G3326G846G3101 3So Judas took a company of soldiers and some temple police from the chief priests and the Pharisees and came there with lanterns, torches, and weapons.G2455G3767G2983G4686G2532G5257G1537G749G2532G5330G2064G1563G3326G5322G2532G2985G2532G3696 4Then Jesus, knowing everything that was about to happen to Him, went out and said to them, "Who is it you're looking for?"G2424G3767G1492G3956G2064G1909G846G1831G2036G846G5101G2212 5"Jesus the Nazarene," they answered. "I am He," Jesus told them. Judas, who betrayed Him, was also standing with them.G611G846G2424G3480G2424G3004G846G1473G1510G1161G2455G2532G3588G3860G846G2476G3326G846 6When He told them, "I am He," they stepped back and fell to the ground.G5613G3767G2036G846G3754G1473G1510G565G1519G3694G2532G4098G5476 7Then He asked them again, "Who is it you're looking for?" "Jesus the Nazarene," they said.G3767G1905G846G3825G5101G2212G1161G2036G2424G3480 8"I told you I am [He]," Jesus replied. "So if you're looking for Me, let these men go."G2424G611G2036G5213G3754G1473G1510G1487G3767G2212G1691G863G5128G5217 9This was to fulfill the words He had said: "I have not lost one of those You have given Me."G2443G3056G4137G3739G2036G3754G1537G846G3739G1325G3427G3756G622G3762 10Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it, struck the high priest's slave, and cut off his right ear. (The slave's name was Malchus.)G3767G4613G4074G2192G3162G1670G846G2532G3817G749G1401G2532G609G846G1188G5621G1161G1401G3686G2258G3124 11At that, Jesus said to Peter, "Sheathe your sword! Am I not to drink the cup the Father has given Me?"G3767G2036G2424G4074G906G4675G3162G1519G2336G4221G3739G3962G1325G3427G4095G3378G4095G846 12Then the company of soldiers, the commander, and the Jewish temple police arrested Jesus and tied Him up.G3767G4686G2532G5506G2532G5257G2453G4815G2424G2532G1210G846 13First they led Him to Annas, for he was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.G2532G520G846G520G4314G452G4412G1063G2258G3995G2533G3739G2258G749G1565G1763 14Caiaphas was the one who had advised the Jews that it was advantageous that one man should die for the people.G1161G2533G2258G3588G4823G2453G3754G4851G1520G444G622G5228G2992 15Meanwhile Simon Peter was following Jesus, as was another disciple. That disciple was an acquaintance of the high priest; so he went with Jesus into the high priest's courtyard.G1161G4613G4074G190G2424G2532G243G3101G1161G1565G3101G2258G1110G749G2532G4897G2424G1519G833G749 16But Peter remained standing outside by the door. So the other disciple, the one known to the high priest, went out and spoke to the girl who was the doorkeeper and brought Peter in.G1161G4074G2476G4314G2374G1854G3767G1831G243G3101G3739G2258G1110G749G2532G2036G2377G2532G1521G4074 17Then the slave girl who was the doorkeeper said to Peter, "You aren't one of this man's disciples too, are you?" "I am not!" he said.G3767G3004G3814G2377G4074G1488G3361G4771G2532G1537G5127G444G3101G1565G3004G1510G3756 18Now the slaves and the temple police had made a charcoal fire, because it was cold. They were standing there warming themselves, and Peter was standing with them, warming himself.G1161G1401G2532G5257G2476G4160G439G3754G2258G5592G2532G2328G1161G4074G2258G2476G3326G846G2532G2328 19The high priest questioned Jesus about His disciples and about His teaching.G749G3767G2065G2424G4012G846G3101G2532G4012G846G1322 20"I have spoken openly to the world," Jesus answered him. "I have always taught in the synagogue and in the temple complex, where all the Jews congregate, and I haven't spoken anything in secret.G2424G611G846G1473G2980G3954G2889G1473G3842G1321G1722G4864G2532G1722G2411G3699G2453G3842G4905G2532G1722G2927G2980G3762 21Why do you question Me? Question those who heard what I told them. Look, they know what I said."G5101G1905G3165G1905G191G5101G2980G846G2396G3778G1492G3739G1473G2036 22When He had said these things, one of the temple police standing by slapped Jesus, saying, "Is this the way you answer the high priest?"G1161G846G2036G5023G2036G1520G5257G3936G1325G4475G2424G1325G4475G2036G611G749G3779 23"If I have spoken wrongly," Jesus answered him, "give evidence about the wrong; but if rightly, why do you hit Me?"G2424G611G846G1487G2980G2560G3140G4012G2556G1161G1487G2573G5101G1194G3165 24Then Annas sent Him bound to Caiaphas the high priest.G452G649G846G1210G4314G2533G749 25Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They said to him, "You aren't one of His disciples too, are you?" He denied it and said, "I am not!"G1161G4613G4074G2258G2476G2532G2328G2036G3767G846G1488G3361G4771G2532G1537G846G3101G1565G720G2532G2036G1510G3756 26One of the high priest's slaves, a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, said, "Didn't I see you with Him in the garden?"G1520G1537G1401G749G5607G4773G3739G5621G4074G609G3004G1492G3756G1473G1492G4571G1722G2779G3326G846 27Peter then denied it again. Immediately a rooster crowed.G4074G3767G720G3825G2532G2112G220G5455 28Then they took Jesus from Caiaphas to the governor's headquarters. It was early morning. They did not enter the headquarters themselves; otherwise they would be defiled and unable to eat the Passover.G3767G71G2424G575G2533G1519G4232G1161G2258G4405G2532G846G1525G3756G1519G4232G3363G3392G235G2443G5315G3957 29Then Pilate came out to them and said, "What charge do you bring against this man?"G4091G3767G1831G4314G846G2532G2036G5101G2724G5342G2596G5127G444 30They answered him, "If this man weren't a criminal, we wouldn't have handed Him over to you."G611G2532G2036G846G1508G3778G2258G1508G2555G302G3756G3860G846G3860G4671 31So Pilate told them, "Take Him yourselves and judge Him according to your law." "It's not legal for us to put anyone to death," the Jews declared.G3767G2036G4091G846G2983G5210G846G2532G2919G846G2596G5216G3551G2453G3767G2036G846G1832G3756G1832G2254G615G3762G615 32They said this so that Jesus' words might be fulfilled signifying what sort of death He was going to die.G2443G3056G2424G4137G3739G2036G4591G4169G2288G3195G599 33Then Pilate went back into the headquarters, summoned Jesus, and said to Him, "Are You the King of the Jews?"G3767G4091G1525G1519G4232G3825G2532G5455G2424G2532G2036G846G1488G4771G935G2453 34Jesus answered, "Are you asking this on your own, or have others told you about Me?"G2424G611G846G3004G4771G5124G575G1438G2228G243G2036G4671G4012G1700 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?"G4091G611G3385G1510G1473G2453G4674G1484G2532G749G3860G4571G1698G5101G4160 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. As it is, My kingdom does not have its origin here."G2424G611G1699G932G2076G3756G1537G5127G2889G1487G1699G932G2258G1537G5127G2889G302G1699G5257G75G3363G3860G3363G3860G2453G1161G3568G2076G1699G932G3756G1782 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."G4091G3767G2036G846G1488G4771G935G3766G2424G611G4771G3004G3754G1473G1510G935G1519G5124G1080G1473G1080G2532G1519G5124G2064G1519G2889G2443G3140G225G3956G5607G1537G225G191G3450G5456 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.G4091G3004G846G5101G2076G225G2532G2036G5124G1831G3825G4314G2453G2532G3004G846G1473G2147G1722G846G3762G156 39You have a custom that I release one [prisoner] to you at the Passover. So, do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?"G1161G5213G2076G4914G2443G630G5213G1520G1722G3957G1014G3767G630G5213G935G2453 40They shouted back, "Not this man, but Barabbas!" Now Barabbas was a revolutionary.G3767G2905G3956G3825G3004G3361G5126G235G912G1161G912G2258G3027
