1 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.

2 And Judas, who was false to him, had knowledge of the place because Jesus went there frequently with his disciples.

3 So Judas, getting a band of armed men and police from the chief priests and Pharisees, went there with lights and with arms.

4 Then Jesus, having knowledge of everything which was coming on him, went forward and said to them, Who are you looking for?

5 Their answer was, Jesus the Nazarene. Jesus said, I am he. And Judas, who was false to him, was there at their side.

6 And when he said to them, I am he, they went back, falling to the earth.

7 So again he put the question to them, Who are you looking for? And they said, Jesus the Nazarene.

8 Jesus made answer, I have said that I am he; if you are looking for me, let these men go away.

9 (He said this so that his words might come true, I have kept safe all those whom you gave to me.)

10 Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, took it out and gave the high priest's servant a blow, cutting off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus.

11 Then Jesus said to Peter, Put back your sword: am I not to take the cup which my Father has given to me?

12 Then the band and the chief captain and the police took Jesus and put cords round him.

13 They took him first to Annas, because Annas was the father-in-law of Caiaphas who was the high priest that year.

14 It was Caiaphas who had said to the Jews that it was in their interest for one man to be put to death for the people.

15 And Simon Peter went after Jesus with another disciple. Now that disciple was a friend of the high priest and he went in with Jesus into the house of the high priest;

16 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.

17 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.

18 Now the servants and the police had made a fire of coals because it was cold; they were warming themselves in front of it and Peter was there with them, warming himself.

19 Then the high priest put questions to Jesus about his disciples and his teaching.

20 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.

21 Why are you questioning me? put questions to my hearers about what I have said to them: they have knowledge of what I said.

22 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?

23 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?

24 Then Annas sent him chained to Caiaphas, the high priest.

25 But Simon Peter was still there warming himself by the fire. They said to him, Are you not one of his disciples? He said, No, I am not.

26 One of the servants of the high priest, a relation of him whose ear had been cut off by Peter, said, Did I not see you with him in the garden?

27 Then again Peter said, No. And straight away a cock gave its cry.

28 So they took Jesus from the house of Caiaphas to the Praetorium. It was early. They themselves did not go into the Praetorium, so that they might not become unclean, but might take the Passover.

29 So Pilate came out to them and put the question: What have you to say against this man?

30 They said to him in answer, If the man was not a wrongdoer we would not have given him up to you.

31 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.

32 (That the word of Jesus might come true, pointing to the sort of death he would have.)

33 Then Pilate went back into the Praetorium and sent for Jesus and said to him, Are you the King of the Jews?

34 Jesus made answer, Do you say this of yourself, or did others say it about me?

35 Pilate said, Am I a Jew? Your nation and the chief priests have given you into my hands: what have you done?

36 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.

37 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.

38 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.

39 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?

40 Then again they gave a loud cry, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was an outlaw.

1 Ka mutu enei korero a Ihu ka haere ia, ratou ko ana akonga, ki tawahi o te manga wai, ara o Kerono. Na, he kari kei reira, a tapoko atu ana ia, ratou ko ana akonga.

2 I matauria ano taua wahi e Huria, e te tangata e tukua ai ia: he maha hoki nga hokinga o Ihu, ratou ko ana akonga ki reira.

3 Na ka hoatu ki a Hura tetahi matua me etahi katipa e nga tohunga nui ratou ko nga Parihi, a haere ana ki reira, me nga roherohe, me nga rama, me nga patu.

4 Heoi i matau a Ihu ki nga mea katoa meake pa ki a ia, ka puta atu, ka mea ki a ratou, Ko wai ta koutou e rapu?

5 Ka whakahokia e ratou ki a ia, Ko Ihu o Nahareta. Ka mea a Ihu ki a ratou, Ko ahau ia. A, i te tu ano i roto i a ratou a Hura, tona kaituku.

6 Na, i tana korerotanga ki a ratou, Ko ahau ia, hoki ana ratou ki muri, hinga ana ki te whenua.

7 Na ka ui ano ia ki a ratou, Ko wai ta koutou e rapu? Ka mea ratou, Ko Ihu o Nahareta.

8 Ka whakahokia e Ihu, Kua mea ahau ki a koutou, Ko ahau ia: ki te mea e rapu ana koutou i ahau, tukua enei kia haere:

9 Kia rite ai te kupu i korerotia e ia, kahore i ngaro tetahi o te hunga i homai e koe ki ahau.

10 Na he hoari ta Haimona Pita, unuhia ana e ia a haua iho te pononga a te tohunga nui, tapahia ana tona taringa matau. Ko te ingoa o taua pononga ko Maraku.

11 Ka mea a Ihu ki a Pita, Kuhua tau hoari ki te takotoranga: ko te kapu i homai nei e toku Matua ki ahau auaka ranei e inumia e ahau?

12 Heoi ka hopukina a Ihu e taua ope, e te rangatira ratou ko nga katipa o nga Hurai, a hereherea ana ia,

13 A ka arahina ki a Anaha i te tuatahi; ko ia hoki te hungawai o Kaiapa, o te tohunga nui mo taua tau.

14 Na ko Kaiapa tenei nana ra i whakatakoto te whakaaro ki nga Hurai, he pai ke ki te mate te tangata kotahi mo te iwi.

15 Na ka aru a Haimona Pita i a Ihu, a ka aru ano hoki tetahi atu o nga akonga: na i mohiotia taua akonga e te tohunga nui, a tomo tahi ana me Ihu ki te whare o te tohunga nui;

16 Ko Pita ia i tu i te kuwaha i waho. Na ka puta atu taua akonga i mohiotia nei e te tohunga nui, ka korero ki te kaitiaki o te tatau, a arahina ana a Pita ki roto.

17 Na ko te meatanga a te kotiro tiaki o te tatau ki a Pita, Ehara ianei koe i tetahi o nga akonga a tenei tangata? Ka mea ia, Ehara.

18 Na i reira nga pononga me nga katipa e tu ana, kua whakaungia hoki e ratou te kapura waro; he makariri hoki; a e inaina ana ratou: ko Pita hoki tetahi o ratou, e tu tahi ana e inaina ana.

19 Na ka ui te tohunga nui ki a Ihu, ki ana akonga, ki tana ako.

20 Ka whakahokia e Ihu ki a ia, I marama tonu taku korero ki te ao; i ako tonu ahau i roto i te whare karakia, i te temepara hoki, i te wahi huihui o nga Hurai katoa; kahore hoki tetahi mea i korerotia pukutia e ahau.

21 He aha koe ka ui ai ki ahau? ui atu ki te hunga i rongo ki taku i mea ai ki a ratou: nana, e mohio ana ratou ki aku i korero ai.

22 Na, i tana korerotanga i enei kupu, ka papaki tetahi o nga katipa i tu ra i a Ihu, ka mea, E pena ana koe ki te tohunga nui?

23 Ka whakahokia e Ihu ki a ia, Ki te kino aku korero, whakaaturia te kino: ki te pai ia, he aha koe i papaki ai i ahau?

24 Na ka tukua hereheretia atu ia e Anaha ki a Kaiapa tohunga nui.

25 Na, tera a Haimona Pita te tu ra me te inaina. Na ka mea ratou ki a ia, Ehara ianei koe i tetahi o ana akonga? Ka whakakahore ia, ka mea, Ehara.

26 Ka mea tetahi o nga pononga a te tohunga nui, he whanaunga nona i tapahia nei te taringa e Pita, Kihai ianei ahau i kite i a koe, korua tahi i te kari?

27 Na ka whakakahore ano a Pita: a tangi tonu iho te tikaokao.

28 Katahi ka arahina atu e ratou a Ihu i a Kaiapa ki te whare whakawa: he atatu: ko ratou ia kihai i tomo ki te whare whakawa, kei poke ratou, engari kia kai ai ratou i te kapenga.

29 Na ka puta atu a Pirato ki a ratou, ka mea, He aha ta koutou whakapae ki tenei tangata?

30 Ka whakahoki ratou, ka mea ki a ia, Me i kaua ia te mahi i te kino, kihai i kawea mai e matou ki a koe.

31 Na ko te meatanga a Pirato ki a ratou, Mauria atu ia, whakawakia ki to koutou na ture. Ka mea nga Hurai ki a ia, E kore e tika kia whakamatea tetahi tangata e matou:

32 Kia rite ai ta Ihu kupu i korero ai, hei whakaatu i te mate e mate ai ia.

33 Me i reira ka tomo ano a Pirato ki te whare whakawa, ka karanga i a Ihu, ka mea ki a ia, Ko te Kingi ranei koe o nga Hura?

34 Ka whakahokia e Ihu ki a ia, Nau ake ano tenei kupu, he korero ranei moku na te tangata ke ki a koe?

35 Ka mea a Pirato, He Hurai koia ahau? Na tou iwi, na nga tohunga nui ano hoki, koe i kawe mai ki ahau: i aha koia koe?

36 Ka whakahokia e Ihu, Ehara toku rangatiratanga i tenei ao; mehemea no tenei ao toku rangatiratanga, kua tatau aku pononga, kei tukua ahau ki nga Hurai: tena ko tenei ehara toku rangatiratanga i konei.

37 Na ka mea a Pirato ki a ia, He kingi oti koe? ka whakahokia e Ihu, Kua korerotia mai na e koe he kingi ahau. Ko te mea tenei i whanau ai ahau: na tenei hoki ahau i haere mai ai ki te ao, hei kaiwhakaatu mo te pono. E whakarongo ana ki toku reo n ga tangata katoa o te pono.

38 Ka mea a Pirato ki a ia, He aha te pono? A, no te puakanga o tenei ki hoki ana ia ki waho, ki nga Hurai, ka mea ki a ratou, Kahore tetahi he o tenei tangata i mau i ahau.

39 Otiia he ritenga tenei na koutou, kia tukua e ahau ki a koutou tetahi tangata i te kapenga: e pai ana ranei koutou kia tukua e ahau ki a koutou te Kingi o nga Hurai.

40 Heoi karanga katoa ana ano ratou, ka mea, Auaka tenei, engari a Parapa. Na, he tahae a Parapa.
