18 Þetta talaði Jesús, hóf augu sín til himins og sagði: "Faðir, stundin er komin. Gjör son þinn dýrlegan, til þess að sonurinn gjöri þig dýrlegan.

Þú gafst honum vald yfir öllum mönnum, að hann gefi eilíft líf öllum þeim, sem þú hefur gefið honum.

En það er hið eilífa líf að þekkja þig, hinn eina sanna Guð, og þann sem þú sendir, Jesú Krist.

Ég hef gjört þig dýrlegan á jörðu með því að fullkomna það verk, sem þú fékkst mér að vinna.

Faðir, gjör mig nú dýrlegan hjá þér með þeirri dýrð, sem ég hafði hjá þér, áður en heimur var til.

Ég hef opinberað nafn þitt þeim mönnum, sem þú gafst mér úr heiminum. Þeir voru þínir, og þú gafst mér þá, og þeir hafa varðveitt þitt orð.

Þeir vita nú, að allt, sem þú hefur gefið mér, er frá þér,

því ég hef flutt þeim þau orð, sem þú gafst mér. Þeir tóku við þeim og vita með sanni, að ég er frá þér út genginn, og trúa því, að þú hafir sent mig.

Ég bið fyrir þeim. Ég bið ekki fyrir heiminum, heldur fyrir þeim sem þú hefur gefið mér, því að þeir eru þínir,

10 og allt mitt er þitt og þitt er mitt. Í þeim er ég dýrlegur orðinn.

11 Ég er ekki lengur í heiminum. Þeir eru í heiminum, en ég kem til þín. Heilagi faðir, varðveit þá í þínu nafni, því nafni, sem þú hefur gefið mér, svo að þeir verði eitt eins og við.

12 Meðan ég var hjá þeim, varðveitti ég þá í nafni þínu, sem þú hefur gefið mér, og gætti þeirra, og enginn þeirra glataðist nema sonur glötunarinnar, svo að ritningin rættist.

13 Nú kem ég til þín. Þetta tala ég í heiminum, til þess að þeir eigi í sjálfum sér fögnuð minn fullkominn.

14 Ég hef gefið þeim orð þitt, og heimurinn hataði þá, af því að þeir eru ekki af heiminum, eins og ég er ekki af heiminum.

15 Ég bið ekki, að þú takir þá úr heiminum, heldur að þú varðveitir þá frá hinu illa.

16 Þeir eru ekki af heiminum, eins og ég er ekki af heiminum.

17 Helga þá í sannleikanum. Þitt orð er sannleikur.

18 Ég hef sent þá í heiminn, eins og þú sendir mig í heiminn.

19 Ég helga mig fyrir þá, svo að þeir séu einnig helgaðir í sannleika.

20 Ég bið ekki einungis fyrir þessum, heldur og fyrir þeim, sem á mig trúa fyrir orð þeirra,

21 að allir séu þeir eitt, eins og þú, faðir, ert í mér og ég í þér, svo séu þeir einnig í okkur, til þess að heimurinn trúi, að þú hefur sent mig.

22 Og ég hef gefið þeim þá dýrð, sem þú gafst mér, svo að þeir séu eitt, eins og við erum eitt,

23 ég í þeim og þú í mér, svo að þeir verði fullkomlega eitt, til þess að heimurinn viti, að þú hefur sent mig og að þú hefur elskað þá, eins og þú hefur elskað mig.

24 Faðir, ég vil að þeir, sem þú gafst mér, séu hjá mér, þar sem ég er, svo að þeir sjái dýrð mína, sem þú hefur gefið mér, af því að þú elskaðir mig fyrir grundvöllun heims.

25 Réttláti faðir, heimurinn þekkir þig ekki, en ég þekki þig, og þessir vita, að þú sendir mig.

26 Ég hef kunngjört þeim nafn þitt og mun kunngjöra, svo að kærleikur þinn, sem þú hefur auðsýnt mér, sé í þeim og ég sé í þeim."

Jesus Arrested(A)

18 When he had finished praying, Jesus left with his disciples and crossed the Kidron Valley.(B) On the other side there was a garden,(C) and he and his disciples went into it.(D)

Now Judas, who betrayed him, knew the place, because Jesus had often met there with his disciples.(E) So Judas came to the garden, guiding(F) a detachment of soldiers and some officials from the chief priests and the Pharisees.(G) They were carrying torches, lanterns and weapons.

Jesus, knowing all that was going to happen to him,(H) went out and asked them, “Who is it you want?”(I)

“Jesus of Nazareth,”(J) they replied.

“I am he,” Jesus said. (And Judas the traitor was standing there with them.) When Jesus said, “I am he,” they drew back and fell to the ground.

Again he asked them, “Who is it you want?”(K)

“Jesus of Nazareth,” they said.

Jesus answered, “I told you that I am he. If you are looking for me, then let these men go.” This happened so that the words he had spoken would be fulfilled: “I have not lost one of those you gave me.”[a](L)

10 Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it and struck the high priest’s servant, cutting off his right ear. (The servant’s name was Malchus.)

11 Jesus commanded Peter, “Put your sword away! Shall I not drink the cup(M) the Father has given me?”

12 Then the detachment of soldiers with its commander and the Jewish officials(N) arrested Jesus. They bound him 13 and brought him first to Annas, who was the father-in-law of Caiaphas,(O) the high priest that year. 14 Caiaphas was the one who had advised the Jewish leaders that it would be good if one man died for the people.(P)

Peter’s First Denial(Q)

15 Simon Peter and another disciple were following Jesus. Because this disciple was known to the high priest,(R) he went with Jesus into the high priest’s courtyard,(S) 16 but Peter had to wait outside at the door. The other disciple, who was known to the high priest, came back, spoke to the servant girl on duty there and brought Peter in.

17 “You aren’t one of this man’s disciples too, are you?” she asked Peter.

He replied, “I am not.”(T)

18 It was cold, and the servants and officials stood around a fire(U) they had made to keep warm. Peter also was standing with them, warming himself.(V)

The High Priest Questions Jesus(W)

19 Meanwhile, the high priest questioned Jesus about his disciples and his teaching.

20 “I have spoken openly to the world,” Jesus replied. “I always taught in synagogues(X) or at the temple,(Y) where all the Jews come together. I said nothing in secret.(Z) 21 Why question me? Ask those who heard me. Surely they know what I said.”

22 When Jesus said this, one of the officials(AA) nearby slapped him in the face.(AB) “Is this the way you answer the high priest?” he demanded.

23 “If I said something wrong,” Jesus replied, “testify as to what is wrong. But if I spoke the truth, why did you strike me?”(AC) 24 Then Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas(AD) the high priest.

Peter’s Second and Third Denials(AE)

25 Meanwhile, Simon Peter was still standing there warming himself.(AF) So they asked him, “You aren’t one of his disciples too, are you?”

He denied it, saying, “I am not.”(AG)

26 One of the high priest’s servants, a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off,(AH) challenged him, “Didn’t I see you with him in the garden?”(AI) 27 Again Peter denied it, and at that moment a rooster began to crow.(AJ)

Jesus Before Pilate(AK)

28 Then the Jewish leaders took Jesus from Caiaphas to the palace of the Roman governor.(AL) By now it was early morning, and to avoid ceremonial uncleanness they did not enter the palace,(AM) because they wanted to be able to eat the Passover.(AN) 29 So Pilate came out to them and asked, “What charges are you bringing against this man?”

30 “If he were not a criminal,” they replied, “we would not have handed him over to you.”

31 Pilate said, “Take him yourselves and judge him by your own law.”

“But we have no right to execute anyone,” they objected. 32 This took place to fulfill what Jesus had said about the kind of death he was going to die.(AO)

33 Pilate then went back inside the palace,(AP) summoned Jesus and asked him, “Are you the king of the Jews?”(AQ)

34 “Is that your own idea,” Jesus asked, “or did others talk to you about me?”

35 “Am I a Jew?” Pilate replied. “Your own people and chief priests handed you over to me. What is it you have done?”

36 Jesus said, “My kingdom(AR) is not of this world. If it were, my servants would fight to prevent my arrest by the Jewish leaders.(AS) But now my kingdom is from another place.”(AT)

37 “You are a king, then!” said Pilate.

Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. In fact, the reason I was born and came into the world is to testify to the truth.(AU) Everyone on the side of truth listens to me.”(AV)

38 “What is truth?” retorted Pilate. With this he went out again to the Jews gathered there and said, “I find no basis for a charge against him.(AW) 39 But it is your custom for me to release to you one prisoner at the time of the Passover. Do you want me to release ‘the king of the Jews’?”

40 They shouted back, “No, not him! Give us Barabbas!” Now Barabbas had taken part in an uprising.(AX)
