John 18:1-18 ▼

1 Jesus saying these things, went out with His disciples beyond the brook of Kidron, where there was a garden, into which He and His disciples came.

2 And Judas, the one having betrayed Him; knew the place: because frequently Jesus with His disciples resorted thither.

3 Then Judas, having taken a band and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, comes thither with lanterns and torches and arms.

4 Then Jesus, knowing all things which are coming on Him, came out, says to them, Whom do you seek?

5 They responded to Him, Jesus the Nazarene. Jesus says to them, I am He. And Judas also, the one having betrayed Him, stood with them.

6 Then when He said to them, I am He, they went back, and fell on the ground.

7 Then He again asked them, Whom do you seek? And they said, Jesus the Nazarene.

8 Jesus responded, I told you that I am He: if then you seek me, let these depart.

9 In order that the word which He spoke might be fulfilled, that, I have lost none of those whom thou hast given unto me.

10 Then Simon Peter having a sword drew it, and smote the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear. And the name to that servant was Malchus.

11 Then Jesus said to Peter, Put thy sword in the scabbard: the cup which the Father gave me, shall I not drink it?

12 Then the band and chiliarch, and the officers of the Jews, took Jesus and bound Him.

13 And they led Him first to Annas; for he was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.

14 And Caiaphas was the one counseling the Jews, that it is profitable that one man die for the people.

15 And Simon Peter and the other disciples followed Jesus. And that disciple was known to the high priest, and came with Jesus into the court of the high priest.

16 And Peter stood without at the door. Then the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, came out and spoke to the porter, and led in Peter.

17 And then the maidservant porter says to Peter, Art thou not one of the disciples of this man? He says, I am not.

18 And the servants and officers, having made a fire; because it was cold; were standing by it, and warming. And Peter was standing with them, and warming.
