Ludzie pragną czasami się rozstawać, żeby móc tęsknić, czekać i cieszyć się z powrotem.
17:22 And the glory which Thou hast given me /4 I have given
them, that they may be one, just as we are one:
17:23 I in them and Thou in me; that they may stand perfected /5
in one; that the world may come to understand that Thou didst
send me and hast loved them with the same love as that with
which Thou hast loved me.
17:24 "Father, /6 those whom Thou hast given me--I desire that
where I am they also may be with me, that they /7 may see the
glory--my glory--my gift from Thee, which Thou hast given me
because Thou didst love me before the creation of the world.
17:25 /8 And, righteous Father, though the world has failed to
recognize Thee, I have known Thee, and these have perceived
that Thou didst send me.
17:26 And I have made known Thy /9 name to them and will make it
known, that the love with which Thou hast loved me may be in
them, and that I may be in them."
18:1 /10 After offering this prayer Jesus went out with His
disciples to a place on the further side of the Ravine of the
Cedars, where there was a garden which He entered--Himself and
His disciples.
18:2 /11 Now Judas also, who at that very time was betraying
Him, knew the place, for Jesus had often resorted there with
His disciples.
18:3 So Judas, /12 followed by the battalion and by a detachment
of the Temple police sent by the High Priests and Pharisees,
came there with torches and
/1 lamps and weapons.
18:4 Jesus therefore, knowing all that was about to befall Him,
went out to meet them. /2 "Who are you looking for?" He asked
them.
18:5 "For Jesus the Nazarene," was the answer. "I am he," He
replied. (Now Judas who was betraying Him was also standing
with them.)
18:6 As soon then as He said to them, "I am he," they went
backwards and /3 fell to the ground.
18:7 Again therefore He asked them, /2 "Who are you looking
for?" "For Jesus the Nazarene," they said.
18:8 "I have told you," replied Jesus, "that I am he. If
therefore you are looking for me, let these my disciples go
their way."
18:9 He made this request in order that the words He had spoken
might be fulfilled, "As for those whom Thou hast given me, I
have not lost one."
18:10 Simon Peter, however, having a sword, drew it, and, aiming
at the High Priest's /4 servant, cut off his right ear. The
servant's name was Malchus.
18:11 Jesus therefore said to Peter, "Put back your sword. Shall
I refuse to drink the cup of sorrow which the Father has given
me to drink?"
18:12 /5 So the battalion and their /6 tribune and the Jewish
police closed in, and took Jesus and bound Him.
18:13 They then brought Him to /7 Annas first; for Annas was the
father-in-law of Caiaphas who was High Priest that year.
18:14 (It was this Caiaphas who had advised the Jews, saying,
"It is to your interest that one man should die for the
People.")
18:15 Meanwhile Simon Peter was following Jesus, and so also was
another disciple. The latter was known to the High Priest, and
went in with Jesus into the court of the High Priest's palace.
18:16 But Peter remained standing outside the door, till the
disciple who was acquainted with the High Priest came out and
induced the portress to let Peter in.
18:17 This led the girl, the portress, to ask Peter, "Are you
also one of this man's disciples?" "No, I am not," he replied.
18:18 Now because it was cold the /1 servants and the police had
lighted a /2 charcoal fire, and were standing and warming
themselves; and Peter too remained with them, standing and
warming himself.
18:19 /3 So the High Priest questioned Jesus about His disciples
and His teaching.
18:20 "As for me," replied Jesus, /4 "I have spoken /5 openly to
the world. I /6 have continually taught in some synagogue or in
the Temple where all the Jews are wont to assemble, and I have
said nothing in secret.
18:21 Why do you question me? Question /7 those who heard what
it was I said to them: these witnesses here know what I said."
18:22 Upon His saying this, one of the officers standing by
struck Him /8 with his open hand, asking Him as he did so, "Is
that the way you answer the High Priest?"
18:23 "If I have spoken wrongly," replied Jesus, "bear witness
to it as wrong; but if rightly, why that blow?"
18:24 /9 So Annas /10 sent Him bound to Caiaphas the High
Priest.
18:25 But Simon Peter remained standing and /1 warming himself,
and this led to their asking him, "Are you also one of his
disciples?" He denied it, and said, "No, I am not."
18:26 One of the High Priest's servants, a relative of the man
whose ear Peter had cut off, said, "Did I not see you in the
garden with him?"
18:27 Once more Peter denied it, and immediately a cock crowed.
18:28 /2 So they brought Jesus from Caiaphas's house to the /3
Praetorium. It was the early morning, and they would not enter
the Praetorium themselves for fear of defilement, and in order
that they might be able to eat the Passover.
18:29 /4 Accordingly Pilate /5 came out to them and inquired,
"What accusation have you to bring against this man?"
