John 18:1–18
1 When Jesus had spoken these words, aHe went forth with His disciples over bthe 1ravine of the Kidron, where there was ca garden, in which He entered 2with His disciples.
2 Now Judas also, who was 1betraying Him, knew the place, for Jesus had aoften met there with His disciples.
3 aJudas then, having received bthe Roman 1cohort and cofficers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, * came there with lanterns and dtorches and weapons.
4 So Jesus, aknowing all the things that were coming upon Him, went forth and * said to them, “bWhom do you seek?”
5 They answered Him, “Jesus the Nazarene.” He * said to them, “I am He.” And Judas also, who was betraying Him, was standing with them.
6 So when He said to them, “I am He,” they drew back and fell to the ground.
7 Therefore He again asked them, “aWhom do you seek?” And they said, “Jesus the Nazarene.”
8 Jesus answered, “I told you that I am He; so if you seek Me, let these go their way,”
9 to fulfill the word which He spoke, “aOf those whom You have given Me I lost not one.”
10 Simon Peter then, ahaving a sword, drew it and struck the high priest’s slave, and cut off his right ear; and the slave’s name was Malchus.
11 So Jesus said to Peter, “Put the sword into the sheath; athe cup which the Father has given Me, shall I not drink it?”
12 aSo bthe Roman 1cohort and the 2commander and the bofficers of the Jews, arrested Jesus and bound Him,
13 and led Him to aAnnas first; for he was father-in-law of bCaiaphas, who was high priest that year.
14 Now Caiaphas was the one who had advised the Jews that ait was expedient for one man to die on behalf of the people.
15 aSimon Peter was following Jesus, and so was another disciple. Now that disciple was known to the high priest, and entered with Jesus into bthe court of the high priest,
16 abut Peter was standing at the door outside. So the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to the doorkeeper, and brought Peter in.
17 aThen the slave-girl who kept the door * said to Peter, “bYou are not also one of this man’s disciples, are you?” He * said, “I am not.”
18 Now the slaves and the aofficers were standing there, having made ba charcoal fire, for it was cold and they were cwarming themselves; and Peter was also with them, standing and warming himself.
