Luther Bible 1545 (English)
know that thou hast sent me.
  • And I have made known unto them thy name, and will make known unto them, that love, that thou mayest love me, may be in them, and I in them.
    (John)
    Chapter 18
    Christ’s suffering before Caiaphas and Pilate.
  • When JEsus had spoken these things, he went out with his disciples over the brook Kidron.
    And there was a garden, into which went JEsus and his disciples.
  • And Judas also, which betrayed him, knew the place: for JEsus was often gathered together
    there with his disciples.
  • Judas therefore, having taken with him the multitude, and the officers of the chief priests and Pharisees, cometh thither with torches and lamps and weapons.
  • When therefore Jesus knew all things that should befall him, he went out, and said unto them: Whom seek ye?
  • They answered him, JEsum of Nazareth. JEsus saith unto them: I am he. And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with them.
  • And when JEsus said unto them: It is I, they drew back, and fell to the ground.
  • And he asked them again, Whom seek ye? And they said: Jesus of Nazareth.
  • Jesus answered: I told you that it was I. If ye then seek me, let these go 9. That the word might be fulfilled which he said, I have lost none that thou gavest me.
  • And Simon Peter had a sword, and drew it, and smote the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear: and the servant’s name was Malchus.
  • Then said JEsus unto Peter, Put up thy sword into the sheath. Shall I not drink the cup which my Father hath given me?
  • And the multitude, and the chief captain, and the servants of the Jews, took JEsum, and bound him.
  • And they brought him first to Annas, which was the brother in law of Caiaphas, which was the high priest of that year.
  • And it was Caiaphas that counselled the Jews, saying, It is good that a man should be put to death for the people.
  • And Simon Peter followed JEsu, and another disciple. The same disciple was known unto the high priest, and went in with JEsu into the palace of the high priest.
  • And Peter stood without the door. And the other disciple, which was known unto the high priest, went out, and spake unto the doorkeeper, and brought Peter in.
  • Then said the damsel that kept the door unto Peter, Art not thou also one of these men’s disciples? And he said: I am not.
  • And the servants and menservants stood by, having made a fire of coals (for it was cold), and warming themselves. And Peter stood with them, and warmed himself.
  • But the high priest asked JEsum for his disciples, and for his doctrine.
  • Jesus answered him, I have spoken openly before the world. I have taught always in the synagogue, and in the temple, where all the Jews are gathered together, and have spoken nothing in secret.
  • Why askest thou me this? Ask them therefore which have heard what I have spoken unto them. Behold, they know what I have said.
  • And as he spake these things, the servant gave JEsu a blow on the cheek to one of them that stood by, saying, Answerest thou the high priest thus?
  • Jesus answered, If I have spoken evil, let it be proved that it is evil: but if I have spoken right, why smitest thou me?
  • And Annas sent him bound unto Caiaphas the high priest.
  • And Simon Peter stood and warmed himself. And they said unto him, Art not thou one of his disciples? But he denied it, saying: I am not.
  • One of the servants of the high priest, a friend of him whose ear Peter had cut off, saith, Did I not see thee in the garden with him?
  • Then Peter denied again; and straightway the cock crowed.
  • And they brought JEsum from Caiaphas unto the judgment house. And it was early. And they entered not into the judgment house, lest they should be defiled, and eat the passover.
  • And Pilate went out unto them, and said, What accusation bring ye against this man?
  • And they answered and said unto him, If this man were not an evildoer, we would not have delivered him unto thee.
  • Pilate therefore said unto them, Take ye him, and judge him according to your law. Then said the Jews unto him: We mustn’t kill anyone
  • That the word of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spake when he foretold what death he
    should die.
  • Then Pilate went again into the judgment house, and called JEsu, and said unto him, Art thou king of the Jews?
  • Jesus answered, Speakest thou this of thyself, or did others tell it thee of me?
  • Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thy people and the chief priests delivered thee unto me: what hast thou done?
  • Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would fight that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.
  • Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou then a king? Jesus answered, Thou sayest, I am a king. For this cause was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. He that is of the truth heareth my voice.
  • Pilate saith unto him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again to the Jews, and saith unto them: I find no fault in him.
  • But ye have a custom, that I should release one unto you at the passover: will ye now that I release unto you the king of the Jews?
  • Then cried they all again, saying: Not this man, but Barabbas. But Barabbas was a murderer.
    (John)
    Chapter 19
    Christ’s flagellation, coronation, crucifixion, death and burial.
  • Then Pilate took JEsum, and scourged him.
  • And the soldiers wove a crown of thorns, and put it upon his head, and put a purple robe upon him.
  • And they said, Hail, king of the Jews! and they smote him with their cheeks.
  • Then Pilate went out again, and said unto them, Behold, I bring him forth unto you, that ye may know that I find no fault in him.
  • So JEsus went forth, wearing a crown of thorns and a purple robe. And he saith unto them, Behold, what manner of man!
  • And when the chief priests and the servants saw him, they cried out, saying: Crucify, crucify!
    Pilate saith unto them: Take ye him, and crucify him: for I find no fault in him.
  • The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by the law he shall die: for he hath made himself the Son of GOD.
  • And when Pilate heard the word, he feared the more.
  • And went again into the judgment house, and saith unto JEsu, Whence art thou? But JEsus gave him no answer.
  • And Pilate said unto him, Speakest thou not unto me? Knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and have power to release thee?
  • Jesus answered, Thou wouldest have no power over me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin.
  • From that time Pilate sought how he might release him. And the Jews cried out, saying: If thou release this man, thou art not Caesar’s friend: for he that maketh himself king is against Caesar.
  • And when Pilate heard the word, he brought forth JEsum, and sat in the judgment seat in the place which is called the high place, and in the language of the Jews Gabbatha.
  • And it was the preparation for Easter about the sixth hour. And he saith unto the Jews, Behold, this is your king!
  • And they cried, Away, away with him, crucify him. Said Pilate unto them, Shall I crucify your king? The chief priests answered: We have no king but Caesar.
  • Then delivered he him unto them to be crucified. And they took JEsum, and led him away.
  • And he bare his cross, and went out unto the place which is called the place of the skull, which is called Golgotha in the language of the Jews.
  • And there they crucified him, and with him two others on either side, and Jesus in the midst.
  • And Pilate wrote a superscription, and set it upon the cross; and it was written: JEsus of
    Nazareth, King of the Jews.
  • This superscription was read by many of the Jews: for the place was nigh unto the city where Jesus was crucified. And it was written in the Ebrew, and in the Greek, and in the Latin languages.
  • Then said the chief priests of the Jews unto Pilate, Write not, I am king of the Jews; but that he hath said: I am the king of the Jews.
  • Pilate answered, What I have written, that have I written.
  • And the soldiers, when they had crucified JESUS, took his garments, and made four parts, to every soldier a part, and the skirt also. And the skirt was unstitched, and was sewn from the top through and through.
  • And they said one to another, Let us not divide him, but let us cast lots for him whose he shall be, that the scripture may be fulfilled which saith, They have divided my garments among them.
    And have cast lots upon my skirt). This is what the soldiers did.
  • And by the cross of JESUS stood his mother, and his mother’s sister Mary, the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene.
  • And when JE saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son.
  • After this he saith unto the disciple, Behold, this is thy mother. And from that hour the disciple took her unto him.
  • After this, when JEsus knew that all things were finished, that the scripture should be fulfilled, he saith, I thirst.
