John 18:1–24

When Jesus had spoken these words, ^ahe went forth with his disciples over ^bthe brook Cedron, ^awhere was a garden, into the which he entered, and his disciples. ²And Judas also, which betrayed him, knew ^cthe place: ^dfor Jesus ofttimes resorted thither with his disciples. ^3eJudas then, having received a ^fband of men, and ^gofficers from the chief priests and Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns and ^htorches and weapons. ⁴Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said unto them, ⁱWhom seek ye? ⁵They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, I am he. And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with them. ⁶As soon then as he had said unto them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground. ⁷Then asked he them again, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth. ⁸Jesus answered, I have told you that I am he: if therefore ye seek me, let these go their way: ⁹that the saying might be fulfilled, which he spake, ^kOf them which thou gavest me have I lost none. ¹⁰Then Simon Peter having a sword drew it, and smote the high priest’s servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant’s name was Malchus. ¹¹Then said Jesus unto Peter, Put up thy sword into the sheath: ^lthe cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it? ¹²

Then ^fmthe band and ^mthe captain and ^gofficers of the Jews took Jesus, and bound him, ¹³and ⁿled him away to ^oAnnas first; for he was father in law to ^pCaiaphas, which was the high priest ^qthat same year. ¹⁴Now Caiaphas was he, which gave counsel to the Jews, ^rthat it was expedient that one man should die for the people.

^15sAnd Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple: that disciple was known unto the high priest, and went in with Jesus into ^tthe palace of the high priest. ^16uBut Peter stood at the door without. Then went out that other disciple, which was known unto the high priest, and spake unto ^xher that kept the door, and brought in Peter. ¹⁷Then saith ^ythe damsel that kept the door unto Peter, Art not thou also one of this man’s disciples? He saith, I am not. ¹⁸And the servants and ^gofficers stood there, who had made ^za fire of coals; for it was cold: and they warmed themselves: and Peter stood with them, and warmed himself.

^19aThe high priest then asked Jesus of his disciples, and of his doctrine. ²⁰Jesus answered him, I spake ^bopenly to the world; I ever taught ^cin the synagogue, and ^din the temple, whither the Jews always resort; and ^ein secret have I said nothing. ^21fWhy askest thou me? ask them which heard me, what I have said unto them: behold, ^gthey know what I said. ²²And when he had thus spoken, one of the ^hofficers which stood by ⁱstroke Jesus with the palm of his hand, saying, ^kAnswerest thou the high priest so? ²³Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil: but if well, why smitest thou me? ²⁴Now Annas ^lhad sent him bound unto Caiaphas the high priest.
