1 When Jesus had spoken these words, he went out with his disciples over the brook Kidron, where there was a garden, into which he and his disciples entered. 2 Now Judas, who betrayed him, also knew the place, for Jesus often met there with his disciples. 3 Judas then, having taken a detachment of soldiers and officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, came there with lanterns, torches, and weapons. 4 Jesus therefore, knowing all the things that were happening to him, went out and said to them, "Who are you looking for?"

5 They answered him, "Jesus of Nazareth."

Jesus said to them, "I am he."

Judas also, who betrayed him, was standing with them. 6 When therefore he said to them, "I am he," they went backward and fell to the ground.

7 Again therefore he asked them, "Who are you looking for?"

They said, "Jesus of Nazareth."

8 Jesus answered, "I told you that I am he. If therefore you seek me, let these go their way," 9 that the word might be fulfilled which he spoke, "Of those whom you have given me, I have lost none."

10 Simon Peter therefore, having a sword, drew it, struck the high priest’s servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant’s name was Malchus. 11 Jesus therefore said to Peter, "Put the sword into its sheath. The cup which the Father has given me, shall I not surely drink it?"

12 So the detachment, the commanding officer, 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 it was Caiaphas who advised the Jews that it was expedient that one man should perish for the people.

15 Simon Peter followed Jesus, as did another disciple. Now that disciple was known to the high priest, and entered in with Jesus into the court of the high priest; 16 but Peter was standing at the door outside. So the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to her who kept the door, and brought in Peter. 17 Then the maid who kept the door said to Peter, "Are you also one of this man’s disciples?"

He said, "I am not."

18 Now the servants and the officers were standing there, having made a fire of coals, for it was cold. They were warming themselves. Peter was with them, standing and warming himself.

19 The high priest therefore asked Jesus about his disciples and about his teaching.

20 Jesus answered him, "I spoke openly to the world. I always taught in synagogues and in the temple, where the Jews always meet. I said nothing in secret. 21 Why do you ask me? Ask those who have heard me what I said to them. Behold, they know the things which I said."

22 When he had said this, one of the officers standing by slapped Jesus with his hand, saying, "Do you answer the high priest like that?"

23 Jesus answered him, "If I have spoken evil, testify of the evil; but if well, why do you beat me?"

24 Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas, the high priest.

25 Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They said therefore to him, "You aren’t also one of his disciples, are you?"

He denied it and said, "I am not."

26 One of the servants of the high priest, being a relative of him whose ear Peter had cut off, said, "Didn’t I see you in the garden with him?"

27 Peter therefore denied it again, and immediately the rooster crowed.

28 They led Jesus therefore from Caiaphas into the Praetorium. It was early, and they themselves didn’t enter into the Praetorium, that they might not be defiled, but might eat the Passover. 29 Pilate therefore went out to them and said, "What accusation do you bring against this man?"

30 They answered him, "If this man weren’t an evildoer, we wouldn’t have delivered him up to you."

31 Pilate therefore said to them, "Take him yourselves, and judge him according to your law."

Therefore the Jews said to him, "It is illegal for us to put anyone to death," 32 that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spoke, signifying by what kind of death he should die.

33 Pilate therefore entered again into the Praetorium, called Jesus, and said to him, "Are you the King of the Jews?"

34 Jesus answered him, "Do you say this by yourself, or did others tell you about me?"

35 Pilate answered, "I’m not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests delivered you to me. What have you done?"

36 Jesus answered, "My Kingdom is not of this world. If my Kingdom were of this world, then my servants would fight, that I wouldn’t be delivered to the Jews. But now my Kingdom is not from here."

37 Pilate therefore said to him, "Are you a king then?"

Jesus answered, "You say that I am a king. For this reason I have been born, and for this reason I have come into the world, that I should testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to my voice."

38 Pilate said to him, "What is truth?"

When he had said this, he went out again to the Jews, and said to them, "I find no basis for a charge against him. 39 But you have a custom that I should release someone to you at the Passover. Therefore, do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?"

40 Then they all shouted again, saying, "Not this man, but Barabbas!" Now Barabbas was a robber.

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.
