John 18:21 - Prayer Tents

18Ater Jesus had said this, he went with his disciples across the Kidron valley to a place where there was a garden, which he and his disciples entered.G2424G2036G5023G1831G4862G846G3101G4008G5493G2748G3699G2258G2779G1519G3739G846G1525G2532G846G3101 2Now Judas, who betrayed him, also knew the place because Jesus often met there with his disciples.G1161G2455G2532G3588G3860G846G1492G5117G3754G2424G4178G4863G1563G3326G846G3101 3So Judas took a detachment of soldiers and some officers from the high priests and the Pharisees and went there with lanterns, torches, and weapons.G2455G3767G2983G4686G2532G5257G1537G749G2532G5330G2064G1563G3326G5322G2532G2985G2532G3696 4Then Jesus, knowing everything that was going to happen, went forward and asked them, "Who are you looking for?"G2424G3767G1492G3956G2064G1909G846G1831G2036G846G5101G2212 5They answered him, "Jesus from Nazareth." Jesus said to them, "I AM." Judas, the man who betrayed him, was standing with them.G611G846G2424G3480G2424G3004G846G1473G1510G1161G2455G2532G3588G3860G846G2476G3326G846 6When Jesus told them, "I AM," they backed away and fell to the ground.G5613G3767G2036G846G3754G1473G1510G565G1519G3694G2532G4098G5476 7So he asked them again, "Who are you looking for?" They said, "Jesus from Nazareth."G3767G1905G846G3825G5101G2212G1161G2036G2424G3480 8Jesus replied, "I told you that I am the one, so if you are looking for me, let these men go."G2424G611G2036G5213G3754G1473G1510G1487G3767G2212G1691G863G5128G5217 9This was to fulfill what he had said, "I did not lose a single one of those you gave me."G2443G3056G4137G3739G2036G3754G1537G846G3739G1325G3427G3756G622G3762 10Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it and struck the high priest's servant, cutting off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus.G3767G4613G4074G2192G3162G1670G846G2532G3817G749G1401G2532G609G846G1188G5621G1161G1401G3686G2258G3124 11Jesus told Peter, "Put your sword back into its sheath. Shouldn't I drink the cup that the Father has given me?"G3767G2036G2424G4074G906G4675G3162G1519G2336G4221G3739G3962G1325G3427G4095G3378G4095G846 12Then the soldiers, along with their commander and the Jewish officers, arrested Jesus and tied him up.G3767G4686G2532G5506G2532G5257G2453G4815G2424G2532G1210G846 13First they brought him to Annas, because he was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, the high priest that year.G2532G520G846G520G4314G452G4412G1063G2258G3995G2533G3739G2258G749G1565G1763 14Caiaphas was the person who had advised the Jews that it was better to have one man die for the people.12G1161G2533G2258G3588G4823G2453G3754G4851G1520G444G622G5228G2992 15Simon Peter and another disciple were following Jesus. Since the other disciple was known to the high priest, he accompanied Jesus into the courtyard of the high priest.G1161G4613G4074G190G2424G2532G243G3101G1161G1565G3101G2258G1110G749G2532G4897G2424G1519G833G749 16Peter, however, stood outside the gate. So this other disciple who was known to the high priest went out and spoke to the gatekeeper and brought Peter inside.G1161G4074G2476G4314G2374G1854G3767G1831G243G3101G3739G2258G1110G749G2532G2036G2377G2532G1521G4074 17The young woman at the gate asked Peter, "You aren't one of this man's disciples, too, are you?""I am not," he replied.G3767G3004G3814G2377G4074G1488G3361G4771G2532G1537G5127G444G3101G1565G3004G1510G3756 18Meanwhile, the servants and officers were standing around a charcoal fire they had built and were warming themselves because it was cold. Peter was also standing with them, keeping himself warm.G1161G1401G2532G5257G2476G4160G439G3754G2258G5592G2532G2328G1161G4074G2258G2476G3326G846G2532G2328 19Then the high priest questioned Jesus about his disciples and about his own teaching.G749G3767G2065G2424G4012G846G3101G2532G4012G846G1322 20Jesus answered him, "I have spoken publicly to the world. I have always taught in the synagogue or in the temple, where all Jews meet together, and I have said nothing in secret.G2424G611G846G1473G2980G3954G2889G1473G3842G1321G1722G4864G2532G1722G2411G3699G2453G3842G4905G2532G1722G2927G2980G3762 21Why do you question me? Question those who heard what I said. These are the people who know what I said."G5101G1905G3165G1905G191G5101G2980G846G2396G3778G1492G3739G1473G2036 22When he said this, one of the officers standing nearby slapped Jesus on the face and demanded, "Is that any way to answer the high priest?"G1161G846G2036G5023G2036G1520G5257G3936G1325G4475G2424G1325G4475G2036G611G749G3779 23Jesus answered him, "If I have said anything wrong, tell me what it was. But if I have told the truth, why do you hit me?"G2424G611G846G1487G2980G2560G3140G4012G2556G1161G1487G2573G5101G1194G3165 24Then Annas sent him, with his hands tied, to Caiaphas the high priest.G452G649G846G1210G4314G2533G749 25Meanwhile, Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. Some people asked him, "You aren't one of his disciples, too, are you?" He denied it by saying, "I am not!"G1161G4613G4074G2258G2476G2532G2328G2036G3767G846G1488G3361G4771G2532G1537G846G3101G1565G720G2532G2036G1510G3756 26Then one of the high priest's servants, a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, said, "I saw you in the garden with Jesus, didn't I?"G1520G1537G1401G749G5607G4773G3739G5621G4074G609G3004G1492G3756G1473G1492G4571G1722G2779G3326G846 27Peter again denied it, and immediately a rooster crowed.G4074G3767G720G3825G2532G2112G220G5455 28Then Jesus was led from Caiaphas to the governor's headquarters early in the morning. The Jews did not go into the headquarters, to avoid becoming unclean and unable to eat the Passover meal.G3767G71G2424G575G2533G1519G4232G1161G2258G4405G2532G846G1525G3756G1519G4232G3363G3392G235G2443G5315G3957 29So Pilate came out to them and asked, "What accusation are you bringing against this man?"G4091G3767G1831G4314G846G2532G2036G5101G2724G5342G2596G5127G444 30They answered him, "If he weren't a criminal, we wouldn't have handed him over to you."G611G2532G2036G846G1508G3778G2258G1508G2555G302G3756G3860G846G3860G4671 31Pilate told them, "You take him and try him according to your law." The Jews said to him, "It is not legal for us to put anyone to death."G3767G2036G4091G846G2983G5210G846G2532G2919G846G2596G5216G3551G2453G3767G2036G846G1832G3756G1832G2254G615G3762G615 32This was to fulfill what Jesus had said when he indicated the kind of death he was to die.G2443G3056G2424G4137G3739G2036G4591G4169G2288G3195G599 33So Pilate went back into the governor's headquarters, summoned Jesus, and asked him, "Are you the king of the Jews?"G3767G4091G1525G1519G4232G3825G2532G5455G2424G2532G2036G846G1488G4771G935G2453 34Jesus replied, "Are you asking this on your own initiative, or did others tell you about me?"G2424G611G846G3004G4771G5124G575G1438G2228G243G2036G4671G4012G1700 35Pilate replied, "I am not a Jew, am I? It is your own nation and high priests who have handed you over to me. What have you done?"G4091G611G3385G1510G1473G2453G4674G1484G2532G749G3860G4571G1698G5101G4160 36Jesus answered, "My kingdom does not belong to this world. If my kingdom belonged to this world, my servants would fight to keep me from being handed over to the Jews. But for now my kingdom is not from here."G2424G611G1699G932G2076G3756G1537G5127G2889G1487G1699G932G2258G1537G5127G2889G302G1699G5257G75G3363G3860G3363G3860G2453G1161G3568G2076G1699G932G3756G1782 37Pilate asked him, "So you are a king?" Jesus answered, "You say that I am a king. I was born for this, and I came into the world for this: to testify to the truth. Everyone who is committed to the truth listens to my voice."G4091G3767G2036G846G1488G4771G935G3766G2424G611G4771G3004G3754G1473G1510G935G1519G5124G1080G1473G1080G2532G1519G5124G2064G1519G2889G2443G3140G225G3956G5607G1537G225G191G3450G5456 38Pilate asked him, "What is 'truth'?" After he said this, he went out to the Jews again and told them, "I find no basis for a charge against him.G4091G3004G846G5101G2076G225G2532G2036G5124G1831G3825G4314G2453G2532G3004G846G1473G2147G1722G846G3762G156 39But you have a custom that I release one person for you at Passover. Do you want me to release for you the king of the Jews?"G1161G5213G2076G4914G2443G630G5213G1520G1722G3957G1014G3767G630G5213G935G2453 40At this, they shouted out again, "Not this fellow, but Barabbas!" Now Barabbas was a revolutionary.18G3767G2905G3956G3825G3004G3361G5126G235G912G1161G912G2258G3027
