3 Iudas then after he had receaved abonde of men and ministres of the hye Prestes and Pharises came thyther with lanterns and fyerbrondes and wepens.

4 Then Iesus knowynge all thinges that shuld come on him went forth and sayde vnto them: whom seke ye?

5 They answered him: Iesus of Nazareth. Iesus sayde vnto them: I am he. Iudas also which betrayed him stode with them.

6 But assone as he had sayd vnto them I am he they went backe wardes and fell to the grounde.

7 And he axed the agayne: whome seke ye? They sayde:Iesus of Nazareth.

8 Iesus answered I sayde vnto you I am he. If ye seke me let these goo their waye.

9 That ye sayinge might be fulfilled which he spake: of the which thou gavest me have I not lost one.

10 Simon Peter had a swearde and drue it and smote the hye prestes servaunt and cut of his ryght eare. The servauntes name was Malchas.
