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.

1 When Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with his disciples over the brook Kidron, where was a garden, into which he entered, himself and his disciples. 2 Now Judas also, who betrayed him, knew the place: for Jesus oft-times resorted thither with his disciples. 3 Judas then, having received the band of soldiers, and officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns and torches and weapons. 4 Jesus therefore, knowing all the things that were coming upon him, went forth, and saith unto them, Whom seek ye? 5 They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, I am he. And Judas also, who betrayed him, was standing with them. 6 When therefore he said unto them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground. 7 Again therefore he asked them, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth. 8 Jesus answered, I told you that I am he; if therefore ye seek me, let these go their way: 9 that the word might be fulfilled which he spake, Of those whom thou hast given me I lost not one. 10 Simon Peter therefore having a sword drew it, and struck the high priest’s servant, and cut off his right ear. Now the servant’s name was Malchus. 11 Jesus therefore said unto Peter, Put up the sword into the sheath: the cup which the Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?

12 So the band and the chief captain, and the officers of the Jews, seized Jesus and bound him, 13 and led him to Annas first; for he was father in law to Caiaphas, who was high priest that year. 14 Now Caiaphas was he that gave counsel to the Jews, that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.

15 And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple. Now that disciple was known unto the high priest, and entered in with Jesus into the court of the high priest; 16 but Peter was standing at the door without. So the other disciple, who was known unto the high priest, went out and spake unto her that kept the door, and brought in Peter. 17 The maid therefore that kept the door saith unto Peter, Art thou also one of this man’s disciples? He saith, I am not. 18 Now the servants and the officers were standing there, having made a fire of coals; for it was cold; and they were warming themselves: and Peter also was with them, standing and warming himself.

19 The high priest therefore asked Jesus of his disciples, and of his teaching. 20 Jesus answered him, I have spoken openly to the world; I ever taught in synagogues, and in the temple, where all the Jews come together; and in secret spake I nothing. 21 Why askest thou me? ask them that have heard me, what I spake unto them: behold, these know the things which I said. 22 And when he had said this, one of the officers standing by struck Jesus with his hand, saying, Answerest thou the high priest so? 23 Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil: but if well, why smitest thou me? 24 Annas therefore sent him bound unto Caiaphas the high priest.

25 Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They said therefore unto him, Art thou also one of his disciples? He denied, and said, I am not. 26 One of the servants of the high priest, being a kinsman of him whose ear Peter cut off, saith, Did not I see thee in the garden with him? 27 Peter therefore denied again: and straightway the cock crew.

28 They lead Jesus therefore from Caiaphas into the Prætorium: and it was early; and they themselves entered not into the Prætorium, that they might not be defiled, but might eat the passover. 29 Pilate therefore went out unto them, and saith, What accusation bring ye against this man? 30 They answered and said unto him, If this man were not an evil-doer, we should not have delivered him up unto thee. 31 Pilate therefore said unto them, Take him yourselves, and judge him according to your law. The Jews said unto him, It is not lawful for us to put any man to death: 32 that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spake, signifying by what manner of death he should die.

33 Pilate therefore entered again into the Prætorium, and called Jesus, and said unto him, Art thou the King of the Jews? 34 Jesus answered, Sayest thou this of thyself, or did others tell it thee concerning me? 35 Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thine own nation and the chief priests delivered thee unto me: what hast thou done? 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. 37 Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end have I been born, and to this end am I come into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice. 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 no crime in him. 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? 40 They cried out therefore again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.
