PT1904 Patriarchal Text 1904 (accented, eBible edition)
1 ταυτα ειπων ο ιησουσ εξηλθεν συν τοισ μαθηταισ αυτου περαν του χειμαρρου των κεδρων οπου ην κηποσ εισ ον εισηλθεν αυτοσ και οι μαθηται αυτου
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.
1 Ταῦτα εἰπὼν ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἐξῆλθε σὺν τοῖς μαθηταῖς αὐτοῦ πέραν τοῦ χειμάρρου τῶν Κέδρων, ὅπου ἦν κῆπος, εἰς ὃν εἰσῆλθεν αὐτὸς καὶ οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ.
2 ηδει δε και ιουδασ ο παραδιδουσ αυτον τον τοπον οτι πολλακισ συνηχθη ο ιησουσ εκει μετα των μαθητων αυτου
2 Now Judas, who betrayed him, also knew the place, for Jesus often met there with his disciples.
2 ᾔδει δὲ καὶ Ἰούδας ὁ παραδιδοὺς αὐτὸν τὸν τόπον, ὅτι πολλάκις συνήχθη καὶ ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἐκεῖ μετὰ τῶν μαθητῶν αὐτοῦ.
3 ο ουν ιουδασ λαβων την σπειραν και εκ των αρχιερεων και φαρισαιων υπηρετασ ερχεται εκει μετα φανων και λαμπαδων και οπλων
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.
3 ὁ οὖν Ἰούδας λαβὼν τὴν σπεῖραν καὶ ἐκ τῶν ἀρχιερέων καὶ Φαρισαίων ὑπηρέτας ἔρχεται ἐκεῖ μετὰ φανῶν καὶ λαμπάδων καὶ ὅπλων.
4 ιησουσ ουν ειδωσ παντα τα ερχομενα επ αυτον εξελθων ειπεν αυτοισ τινα ζητειτε
4 Jesus therefore, knowing all the things that were happening to him, went out and said to them, “Who are you looking for?”
4 Ἰησοῦς οὖν εἰδὼς πάντα τὰ ἐρχόμενα ἐπ᾽ αὐτόν, ἐξελθὼν εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· τίνα ζητεῖτε;
5 απεκριθησαν αυτω ιησουν τον ναζωραιον λεγει αυτοισ ο ιησουσ εγω ειμι ειστηκει δε και ιουδασ ο παραδιδουσ αυτον μετ αυτων
5 They answered him, “Jesus of Nazareth.” Jesus said to them, “I am he.” Judas also, who betrayed him, was standing with them.
5 ἀπεκρίθησαν αὐτῷ· Ἰησοῦν τὸν Ναζωραῖον. λέγει αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς· ἐγώ εἰμι. εἱστήκει δὲ καὶ Ἰούδας ὁ παραδιδοὺς αὐτὸν μετ᾽ αὐτῶν.
6 ωσ ουν ειπεν αυτοισ οτι εγω ειμι απηλθον εισ τα οπισω και επεσον χαμαι
6 When therefore he said to them, “I am he,” they went backward and fell to the ground.
6 ὡς οὖν εἶπεν αὐτοῖς ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι, ἀπῆλθον εἰς τὰ ὀπίσω καὶ ἔπεσον χαμαί.
7 παλιν ουν αυτουσ επηρωτησεν τινα ζητειτε οι δε ειπον ιησουν τον ναζωραιον
7 Again therefore he asked them, “Who are you looking for?” They said, “Jesus of Nazareth.”
7 πάλιν οὖν αὐτοὺς ἐπηρώτησε· τίνα ζητεῖτε; οἱ δὲ εἶπον· Ἰησοῦν τὸν Ναζωραῖον.
8 απεκριθη ιησουσ ειπον υμιν οτι εγω ειμι ει ουν εμε ζητειτε αφετε τουτουσ υπαγειν
8 Jesus answered, “I told you that I am he. If therefore you seek me, let these go their way,”
8 ἀπεκρίθη Ἰησοῦς· εἶπον ὑμῖν ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι. εἰ οὖν ἐμὲ ζητεῖτε, ἄφετε τούτους ὑπάγειν·
9 ινα πληρωθη ο λογοσ ον ειπεν οτι ουσ δεδωκασ μοι ουκ απωλεσα εξ αυτων ουδενα
9 that the word might be fulfilled which he spoke, “Of those whom you have given me, I have lost none.”
9 ἵνα πληρωθῇ ὁ λόγος ὃν εἶπεν, ὅτι οὓς δέδωκάς μοι, οὐκ ἀπώλεσα ἐξ αὐτῶν οὐδένα.
10 σιμων ουν πετροσ εχων μαχαιραν ειλκυσεν αυτην και επαισεν τον του αρχιερεωσ δουλον και απεκοψεν αυτου το ωτιον το δεξιον ην δε ονομα τω δουλω μαλχοσ
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.
10 Σίμων οὖν Πέτρος ἔχων μάχαιραν εἵλκυσεν αὐτήν, καὶ ἔπαισε τὸν τοῦ ἀρχιερέως δοῦλον καὶ ἀπέκοψεν αὐτοῦ τὸ ὠτίον τὸ δεξιόν· ἦν δὲ ὄνομα τῷ δούλῳ Μάλχος.
11 ειπεν ουν ο ιησουσ τω πετρω βαλε την μαχαιραν εισ την θηκην το ποτηριον ο δεδωκεν μοι ο πατηρ ου μη πιω αυτο
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?”
11 εἶπεν οὖν ὁ Ἰησοῦς τῷ Πέτρῳ· βάλε τὴν μάχαιραν εἰς τὴν θήκην· τὸ ποτήριον ὃ δέδωκέ μοι ὁ πατήρ, οὐ μὴ πίω αὐτό;
12 η ουν σπειρα και ο χιλιαρχοσ και οι υπηρεται των ιουδαιων συνελαβον τον ιησουν και εδησαν αυτον
12 So the detachment, the commanding officer, and the officers of the Jews seized Jesus and bound him,
12 Ἡ οὖν σπεῖρα καὶ ὁ χιλίαρχος καὶ οἱ ὑπηρέται τῶν Ἰουδαίων συνέλαβον τὸν Ἰησοῦν καὶ ἔδησαν αὐτόν,
13 και απηγαγον αυτον προσ ανναν πρωτον ην γαρ πενθεροσ του καιαφα οσ ην αρχιερευσ του ενιαυτου εκεινου
13 and led him to Annas first, for he was father-in-law to Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.
13 καὶ ἀπήγαγον αὐτὸν πρὸς Ἄνναν πρῶτον· ἦν γὰρ πενθερὸς τοῦ Καϊάφα, ὃς ἦν ἀρχιερεὺς τοῦ ἐνιαυτοῦ ἐκείνου.
14 ην δε καιαφασ ο συμβουλευσασ τοισ ιουδαιοισ οτι συμφερει ενα ανθρωπον απολεσθαι υπερ του λαου
14 Now it was Caiaphas who advised the Jews that it was expedient that one man should perish for the people.
14 ἦν δὲ Καϊάφας ὁ συμβουλεύσας τοῖς Ἰουδαίοις ὅτι συμφέρει ἕνα ἄνθρωπον ἀπολέσθαι ὑπὲρ τοῦ λαοῦ.
15 ηκολουθει δε τω ιησου σιμων πετροσ και ο αλλοσ μαθητησ ο δε μαθητησ εκεινοσ ην γνωστοσ τω αρχιερει και συνεισηλθεν τω ιησου εισ την αυλην του αρχιερεωσ
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;
15 Ἠκολούθει δὲ τῷ Ἰησοῦ Σίμων Πέτρος καὶ ὁ ἄλλος μαθητής. ὁ δὲ μαθητὴς ἐκεῖνος ἦν γνωστὸς τῷ ἀρχιερεῖ, καὶ συνεισῆλθε τῷ Ἰησοῦ εἰς τὴν αὐλὴν τοῦ ἀρχιερέως·
16 ο δε πετροσ ειστηκει προσ τη θυρα εξω εξηλθεν ουν ο μαθητησ ο αλλοσ οσ ην γνωστοσ τω αρχιερει και ειπεν τη θυρωρω και εισηγαγεν τον πετρον
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.
16 ὁ δὲ Πέτρος εἱστήκει πρὸς τῇ θύρᾳ ἔξω. ἐξῆλθεν οὖν ὁ μαθητὴς ὁ ἄλλος, ὃς ἦν γνωστὸς τῷ ἀρχιερεῖ, καὶ εἶπε τῇ θυρωρῷ, καὶ εἰσήγαγε τὸν Πέτρον.
17 λεγει ουν η παιδισκη η θυρωροσ τω πετρω μη και συ εκ των μαθητων ει του ανθρωπου τουτου λεγει εκεινοσ ουκ ειμι
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.”
17 λέγει οὖν ἡ παιδίσκη ἡ θυρωρὸς τῷ Πέτρῳ· μὴ καὶ σὺ ἐκ τῶν μαθητῶν εἶ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου τούτου; λέγει ἐκεῖνος· οὐκ εἰμί.
18 ειστηκεισαν δε οι δουλοι και οι υπηρεται ανθρακιαν πεποιηκοτεσ οτι ψυχοσ ην και εθερμαινοντο ην δε μετ αυτων ο πετροσ εστωσ και θερμαινομενοσ
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.
18 εἱστήκεισαν δὲ οἱ δοῦλοι καὶ οἱ ὑπηρέται ἀνθρακιὰν πεποιηκότες, ὅτι ψῦχος ἦν, καὶ ἐθερμαίνοντο· ἦν δὲ μετ᾽ αὐτῶν ὁ Πέτρος ἑστὼς καὶ θερμαινόμενος.
19 ο ουν αρχιερευσ ηρωτησεν τον ιησουν περι των μαθητων αυτου και περι τησ διδαχησ αυτου
19 The high priest therefore asked Jesus about his disciples and about his teaching.
19 Ὁ οὖν ἀρχιερεὺς ἠρώτησε τὸν Ἰησοῦν περὶ τῶν μαθητῶν αὐτοῦ καὶ περὶ τῆς διδαχῆς αὐτοῦ.
20 απεκριθη αυτω ο ιησουσ εγω παρρησια ελαλησα τω κοσμω εγω παντοτε εδιδαξα εν συναγωγη και εν τω ιερω οπου παντοτε οι ιουδαιοι συνερχονται και εν κρυπτω ελαλησα ουδεν
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.
20 ἀπεκρίθη αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰησοῦς· ἐγὼ παρρησίᾳ ἐλάλησα τῷ κόσμῳ· ἐγὼ πάντοτε ἐδίδαξα ἐν συναγωγῇ καὶ ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ, ὅπου πάντοτε οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι συνέρχονται, καὶ ἐν κρυπτῷ ἐλάλησα οὐδέν.
21 τι με επερωτασ επερωτησον τουσ ακηκοοτασ τι ελαλησα αυτοισ ιδε ουτοι οιδασιν α ειπον εγω
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.”
21 τί με ἐπερωτᾷς; ἐπερώτησον τοὺς ἀκηκοότας τί ἐλάλησα αὐτοῖς· ἴδε οὗτοι οἴδασιν ἃ εἶπον ἐγώ.
22 ταυτα δε αυτου ειποντοσ εισ των υπηρετων παρεστηκωσ εδωκεν ραπισμα τω ιησου ειπων ουτωσ αποκρινη τω αρχιερει
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?”
22 ταῦτα δὲ αὐτοῦ εἰπόντος εἷς τῶν ὑπηρετῶν παρεστηκὼς ἔδωκε ῥάπισμα τῷ Ἰησοῦ εἰπών· οὕτως ἀποκρίνῃ τῷ ἀρχιερεῖ;
23 απεκριθη αυτω ο ιησουσ ει κακωσ ελαλησα μαρτυρησον περι του κακου ει δε καλωσ τι με δερεισ
23 Jesus answered him, “If I have spoken evil, testify of the evil; but if well, why do you beat me?”
23 ἀπεκρίθη αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰησοῦς· εἰ κακῶς ἐλάλησα, μαρτύρησον περὶ τοῦ κακοῦ· εἰ δὲ καλῶς, τί με δέρεις;
24 απεστειλεν αυτον ο αννασ δεδεμενον προσ καιαφαν τον αρχιερεα
24 Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas, the high priest.
24 ἀπέστειλεν αὐτὸν ὁ Ἄννας δεδεμένον πρὸς Καϊάφαν τὸν ἀρχιερέα.
25 ην δε σιμων πετροσ εστωσ και θερμαινομενοσ ειπον ουν αυτω μη και συ εκ των μαθητων αυτου ει ηρνησατο ουν εκεινοσ και ειπεν ουκ ειμι
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.”
25 Ἦν δὲ Σίμων Πέτρος ἑστὼς καὶ θερμαινόμενος. εἶπον οὖν αὐτῷ· μὴ καὶ σὺ ἐκ τῶν μαθητῶν αὐτοῦ εἶ;
26 λεγει εισ εκ των δουλων του αρχιερεωσ συγγενησ ων ου απεκοψεν πετροσ το ωτιον ουκ εγω σε ειδον εν τω κηπω μετ αυτου
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?”
26 ἠρνήσατο οὖν ἐκεῖνος καὶ εἶπεν· οὐκ εἰμί. λέγει εἷς ἐκ τῶν δούλων τοῦ ἀρχιερέως, συγγενὴς ὢν οὗ ἀπέκοψε Πέτρος τὸ ὠτίον· οὐκ ἐγώ σε εἶδον ἐν τῷ κήπῳ μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ;
27 παλιν ουν ηρνησατο ο πετροσ και ευθεωσ αλεκτωρ εφωνησεν
27 Peter therefore denied it again, and immediately the rooster crowed.
27 πάλιν οὖν ἠρνήσατο ὁ Πέτρος, καὶ εὐθέως ἀλέκτωρ ἐφώνησεν.
28 αγουσιν ουν τον ιησουν απο του καιαφα εισ το πραιτωριον ην δε πρωι και αυτοι ουκ εισηλθον εισ το πραιτωριον ινα μη μιανθωσιν αλλ ινα φαγωσιν το πασχα
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.
28 Ἄγουσιν οὖν τὸν Ἰησοῦν ἀπὸ τοῦ Καϊάφα εἰς τὸ πραιτώριον· ἦν δὲ πρωΐ· καὶ αὐτοὶ οὐκ εἰσῆλθον εἰς τὸ πραιτώριον, ἵνα μὴ μιανθῶσιν, ἀλλ᾽ ἵνα φάγωσι τὸ πάσχα.
29 εξηλθεν ουν ο πιλατοσ προσ αυτουσ και ειπεν τινα κατηγοριαν φερετε κατα του ανθρωπου τουτου
29 Pilate therefore went out to them and said, “What accusation do you bring against this man?”
29 ἐξῆλθεν οὖν ὁ Πιλᾶτος πρὸς αὐτοὺς καὶ εἶπε· τίνα κατηγορίαν φέρετε κατὰ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου τούτου;
30 απεκριθησαν και ειπον αυτω ει μη ην ουτοσ κακοποιοσ ουκ αν σοι παρεδωκαμεν αυτον
30 They answered him, “If this man weren’t an evildoer, we wouldn’t have delivered him up to you.”
30 ἀπεκρίθησαν καὶ εἶπον αὐτῷ· εἰ μὴ ἦν οὗτος κακοποιός, οὐκ ἄν σοι παρεδώκαμεν αὐτόν.
31 ειπεν ουν αυτοισ ο πιλατοσ λαβετε αυτον υμεισ και κατα τον νομον υμων κρινατε αυτον ειπον ουν αυτω οι ιουδαιοι ημιν ουκ εξεστιν αποκτειναι ουδενα
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,”
31 εἶπεν οὖν αὐτοῖς ὁ Πιλᾶτος· λάβετε αὐτὸν ὑμεῖς καὶ κατὰ τὸν νόμον ὑμῶν κρίνατε αὐτόν. εἶπον οὖν αὐτῷ οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι· ἡμῖν οὐκ ἔξεστιν ἀποκτεῖναι οὐδένα·
32 ινα ο λογοσ του ιησου πληρωθη ον ειπεν σημαινων ποιω θανατω εμελλεν αποθνησκειν
32 that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spoke, signifying by what kind of death he should die.
32 ἵνα ὁ λόγος τοῦ Ἰησοῦ πληρωθῇ ὃν εἶπε σημαίνων ποίῳ θανάτῳ ἤμελλεν ἀποθνήσκειν.
33 εισηλθεν ουν εισ το πραιτωριον παλιν ο πιλατοσ και εφωνησεν τον ιησουν και ειπεν αυτω συ ει ο βασιλευσ των ιουδαιων
33 Pilate therefore entered again into the Praetorium, called Jesus, and said to him, “Are you the King of the Jews?”
33 Εἰσῆλθεν οὖν εἰς τὸ πραιτώριον πάλιν ὁ Πιλᾶτος καὶ ἐφώνησε τὸν Ἰησοῦν καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· σὺ εἶ ὁ βασιλεὺς τῶν Ἰουδαίων;
34 απεκριθη αυτω ο ιησουσ αφ εαυτου συ τουτο λεγεισ η αλλοι σοι ειπον περι εμου
34 Jesus answered him, “Do you say this by yourself, or did others tell you about me?”
34 ἀπεκρίθη αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰησοῦς· ἀφ᾽ ἑαυτοῦ σὺ τοῦτο λέγεις ἢ ἄλλοι σοι εἶπον περὶ ἐμοῦ;
35 απεκριθη ο πιλατοσ μητι εγω ιουδαιοσ ειμι το εθνοσ το σον και οι αρχιερεισ παρεδωκαν σε εμοι τι εποιησασ
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?”
35 ἀπεκρίθη ὁ Πιλᾶτος· μήτι ἐγὼ Ἰουδαῖός εἰμι; τὸ ἔθνος τὸ σὸν καὶ οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς παρέδωκάν σε ἐμοί· τί ἐποίησας;
36 απεκριθη ιησουσ η βασιλεια η εμη ουκ εστιν εκ του κοσμου τουτου ει εκ του κοσμου τουτου ην η βασιλεια η εμη οι υπηρεται αν οι εμοι ηγωνιζοντο ινα μη παραδοθω τοισ ιουδαιοισ νυν δε η βασιλεια η εμη ουκ εστιν εντευθεν
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.”
36 ἀπεκρίθη Ἰησοῦς· ἡ βασιλεία ἡ ἐμὴ οὐκ ἔστιν ἐκ τοῦ κόσμου τούτου· εἰ ἐκ τοῦ κόσμου τούτου ἦν ἡ βασιλεία ἡ ἐμή, οἱ ὑπηρέται ἂν οἱ ἐμοὶ ἠγωνίζοντο, ἵνα μὴ παραδοθῶ τοῖς Ἰουδαίοις· νῦν δὲ ἡ βασιλεία ἡ ἐμὴ οὐκ ἔστιν ἐντεῦθεν.
37 ειπεν ουν αυτω ο πιλατοσ ουκουν βασιλευσ ει συ απεκριθη ιησουσ συ λεγεισ οτι βασιλευσ ειμι εγω εγω εισ τουτο γεγεννημαι και εισ τουτο εληλυθα εισ τον κοσμον ινα μαρτυρησω τη αληθεια πασ ο ων εκ τησ αληθειασ ακουει μου τησ φωνησ
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.”
37 εἶπεν οὖν αὐτῷ ὁ Πιλᾶτος· οὐκοῦν βασιλεὺς εἶ σύ; ἀπεκρίθη Ἰησοῦς· σὺ λέγεις ὅτι βασιλεύς εἰμι ἐγώ. ἐγὼ εἰς τοῦτο γεγέννημαι καὶ εἰς τοῦτο ἐλήλυθα εἰς τὸν κόσμον, ἵνα μαρτυρήσω τῇ ἀληθείᾳ. πᾶς ὁ ὢν ἐκ τῆς ἀληθείας ἀκούει μου τῆς φωνῆς.
38 λεγει αυτω ο πιλατοσ τι εστιν αληθεια και τουτο ειπων παλιν εξηλθεν προσ τουσ ιουδαιουσ και λεγει αυτοισ εγω ουδεμιαν αιτιαν ευρισκω εν αυτω
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.
38 λέγει αὐτῷ ὁ Πιλᾶτος· τί ἐστιν ἀλήθεια; καὶ τοῦτο εἰπὼν πάλιν ἐξῆλθε πρὸς τοὺς Ἰουδαίους καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς· ἐγὼ οὐδεμίαν αἰτίαν εὑρίσκω ἐν αὐτῷ·
39 εστιν δε συνηθεια υμιν ινα ενα υμιν απολυσω εν τω πασχα βουλεσθε ουν υμιν απολυσω τον βασιλεα των ιουδαιων
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?”
39 ἔστι δὲ συνήθεια ὑμῖν ἵνα ἕνα ὑμῖν ἀπολύσω ἐν τῷ πάσχα· βούλεσθε οὖν ὑμῖν ἀπολύσω τὸν βασιλέα τῶν Ἰουδαίων;
40 εκραυγασαν ουν παλιν παντεσ λεγοντεσ μη τουτον αλλα τον βαραββαν ην δε ο βαραββασ ληστησ
40 Then they all shouted again, saying, “Not this man, but Barabbas!” Now Barabbas was a robber.
40 ἐκραύγασαν οὖν πάλιν πάντες λέγοντες· μὴ τοῦτον, ἀλλὰ τὸν Βαραββᾶν. ἦν δὲ ὁ Βαραββᾶς λῃστής.
