John - ch 18 v 1 - 20
- When Jesus had said these words he went out with his disciples over the stream Kedron to a garden, into which he went with his disciples.
- And Judas, who was false to him, had knowledge of the place because Jesus went there frequently with his disciples.
- So Judas, getting a band of armed men and police from the chief priests and Pharisees, went there with lights and with arms.
- Then Jesus, having knowledge of everything which was coming on him, went forward and said to them, Who are you looking for?
- Their answer was, Jesus the Nazarene. Jesus said, I am he. And Judas, who was false to him, was there at their side.
- And when he said to them, I am he, they went back, falling to the earth.
- So again he put the question to them, Who are you looking for? And they said, Jesus the Nazarene.
- Jesus made answer, I have said that I am he; if you are looking for me, let these men go away.
- (He said this so that his words might come true, I have kept safe all those whom you gave to me.)
- Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, took it out and gave the high priest's servant a blow, cutting off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus.
- Then Jesus said to Peter, Put back your sword: am I not to take the cup which my Father has given to me?
- Then the band and the chief captain and the police took Jesus and put cords round him.
- They took him first to Annas, because Annas was the father-in-law of Caiaphas who was the high priest that year.
- It was Caiaphas who had said to the Jews that it was in their interest for one man to be put to death for the people.
- And Simon Peter went after Jesus with another disciple. Now that disciple was a friend of the high priest and he went in with Jesus into the house of the high priest;
- But Peter was kept outside at the door. Then this other disciple, who was a friend of the high priest, came out and had a word with the girl who kept the door, and took Peter in.
- Then the girl who was the door-keeper said to Peter, Are you not one of this man's disciples? In answer he said, I am not.
- Now the servants and the police had made a fire of coals because it was cold; they were warming themselves in front of it and Peter was there with them, warming himself.
- Then the high priest put questions to Jesus about his disciples and his teaching.
- Jesus made answer, I said things openly to the world at all times; I have given my teaching in the Synagogues and in the Temple to which all the Jews come; and I have said nothing secretly.
