1 When Jesus had spoken these words, aHe went out with His disciples over bthe Brook Kidron, where there was a garden, which He and His disciples entered.
2 And Judas, who betrayed Him, also knew the place; afor Jesus often met there with His disciples.
3aThen Judas, having received a detachment oftroops, and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, came there with lanterns, torches, and weapons.
4 Jesus therefore, aknowing all things that would come upon Him, went forward and said to them, “Whom are you seeking?”
5 They answered Him, a“Jesus of Nazareth.” Jesus said to them, “I am He.” And Judas, who bbetrayed Him, also stood with them.
6 Now when He said to them, “I am He,” they drew back and fell to the ground.
7 Then He asked them again, “Whom are you seeking?” And they said, “Jesus of Nazareth.”
8 Jesus answered, “I have told you that I am He. Therefore, if you seek Me, let these go their way,”
9 that the saying might be fulfilled which He spoke, a“Of those whom You gave Me I have lost none.”
10aThen Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it and struck the high priest’s servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant’s name was Malchus.
11 So Jesus said to Peter, “Put your sword into the sheath. Shall I not drink athe cup which My Father has given Me?”
Before the High Priest
12 Then the detachment oftroops and the captain and the officers of the Jews arrested Jesus and bound Him.
13 And athey led Him away to bAnnas first, for he was the father-in-law of cCaiaphas who was high priest that year.
14aNow it was Caiaphas who advised the Jews that it was1 expedient that one man should die for the people.

15aAnd Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so didbanother disciple. Now that disciple was known to the high priest, and went with Jesus into the courtyard of the high priest.
16aBut Peter stood at the door outside. Then the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to her who kept the door, and brought Peter in.
