These things Y'shua said, and he went out with his disciples across the brook Qedron, a place where there was a garden, into which he and his disciples entered.

Now Yehuda the betrayer also knew that place, because Y'shua often gathered there with his disciples.

So Yehuda took a cohort and officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, and he came there with lanterns and lamps and weapons.

But Y'shua, who knew everything that was coming upon him, went out and said to them, Whom do you seek?

They say to him, Y'shua the Natsraya. Y'shua said to them, I am. And Yehuda the betrayer was also standing with them.

And when Y'shua said to them, I am, they went back and fell on the ground.

Again Y'shua asked them, Whom do you seek? And they said, Y'shua the Natsraya.

Y'shua said to them, I have told you that I am he; and if you seek me, let these go away:

that the word might be fulfilled which he said, Of those whom you have given me, I have not lost even one from them.

Now Shimon Keefa had a sword on him, and he drew it and struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his right ear. And the servant's name was Malek.

And Y'shua said to Keefa, Put the sword into its sheath. The cup that my Father has given me, shall I not drink it?

Then the cohort and the chiliarch and the officers of the Yehudaye seized Y'shua and bound him;

And they brought him first to Chanan, because he was father-in-law of Qayapa, who was high priest of that year.

Now it was Qayapa who had advised the Yehudaye that it was profitable for one man to die for the people.

But Shimon Keefa and one other of the disciples were coming after Y'shua. And that other disciple knew the high priest, and he went in with Y'shua into the courtyard.

But Shimon was standing outside at the door. And that other disciple who knew the high priest went out and spoke to the doorkeeper and brought Shimon in.

Then the young woman who kept the door said to Shimon, Are you also one of the disciples of this man? He said to her, No.

And the servants and the officers were standing and had set a fire to warm themselves, because it was cold. And Shimon also was standing with them and warming himself.

Then the high priest asked Y'shua about his disciples and about his teaching.

And Y'shua said to him, I spoke openly with the people, and at all times I taught in the synagogue and in the temple, where all the Jews assemble, and I spoke nothing in secret.

Why do you ask me? Ask those who heard what I spoke with them. Look, they know everything I said.

And as he said these things, one of the officers standing by struck Y'shua on the cheek and said to him, Do you give such an answer to the high priest?

Y'shua answered and said to him, If I spoke evil, bear witness of the evil; but if well, why did you strike me?

Now Hanan sent Y'shua bound to Qayapa the high priest.

And Shimon Keefa was standing and warming himself, and they said to him, Are you not also one of his disciples? And he denied and said, I am not.

One of the servants of the high priest, a kinsman of him whose ear Shimon cut off, said to him, Did I not see you with him in the garden?

And again Shimon denied, and at that moment the rooster crowed.

And they led Y'shua from the presence of Qayapa to the praetorium, and it was morning. And they did not enter the praetorium, so that they would not be defiled before they ate the passover.

And Pilatos went out to them outside and said to them, What accusation do you have against this man?

They answered and said to him, If he were not an evildoer, we would not even have delivered him over to you.

Pilate said to them, Take him yourselves and judge him according to your law. The Jews said to him, It is not lawful for us to put a person to death.

so that the word of Y'shua would be fulfilled, when he made known by what death he was about to die.

Then Pilate went into the praetorium and called Y'shua and said to him, Are you the king of the Jews?

Y'shua said to him, Do you say this from yourself, or have others said it to you about me?

Pilate said to him, Am I a Jew? Your own people and the chief priests have delivered you to me. What have you done?

Y'shua said to him, My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would have fought so that I would not be delivered up to the Jews. But now my kingdom is not from here.

Pilatos said to him: Then you are a king? Y'shua said to him: You have said that I am a king. For this I was born, and for this I came into the world, that I might testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears my voice.

Pilatos said to him: What is the truth? And when he said this, he went out again to the Yehudaye and said to them: I find not even one cause in him.

Now you have a custom that I release one to you at the Pesach. Do you want, therefore, that I release to you this king of the Yehudaye?

And they all cried out and said: Not this one, but Bar Abba. Now this Bar Abba was a robber.
