Having said these things Jesus went out with his disciples beyond the torrent-bed of Kedron, where was a garden, into which he entered, himself and his disciples.
And Judas also that was delivering him up knew the place, because Jesus often met there with his disciples.
Judas then, having received the band and officials from the high priests and from [the] Pharisees, cometh there with lanterns and torches and weapons.
Jesus then, knowing all things that were coming on him, went out and saith to them, Whom seek ye?
They answered him, Jesus the Nazarean. Jesus saith to them, I am [he]. And Judas that was delivering him up was standing with them.
When then he said to them, I am [he], they went away backward and fell to the ground.
Again then he asked them, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus the Nazarean.
Jesus answered, I told you that I am [he]: if then ye seek me, leave these to go away;
that the word might be fulfilled which he said, Of those whom thou hast given me, I have lost not one of them.
Simon Peter then, having a sword, drew it, and smote the bondman of the high priest, and cut off his right ear. Now the bondsman’s name was Malchus.
Jesus said then to Peter, Put the sword into the scabbard: the cup which the Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?
The band therefore and the commander , and the officials of the Jews, took Jesus and bound him
and led [him away] unto Annas first; for he was father-in-law of Caiaphas who was high priest of that year.
But it was Caiaphas who counselled the Jews that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.
Now Simon Peter was following Jesus and the other disciple. And that disciple was known to the high priest, and went in with Jesus into the palace of the high priest,
but Peter was standing at the door outside. The other disciple therefore, that was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to the porteress and brought in Peter.
The maid therefore, the porteress, saith to Peter, Art thou also of this man’s disciples? He saith, I am not.
But the bondmen and the officials were standing, having made a coal-fire because it was cold, and were warming themselves; and there was with them Peter standing and warming himself.
The high priest then asked Jesus about his disciples and about his doctrine.
Jesus answered, I have openly spoken in the world, I always taught in [the] synagogue and in the temple, where all the Jews assemble, and in secret I spoke nothing:
why askest thou me? Ask those that have heard, what I spoke to them: behold, these know what I said.
But when he said these things, one of the officials as he stood by gave Jesus a slap on the face, saying, Thus answerest thou the high priest?
Jesus answered him, If I spoke ill, testify of the ill; but if well, why smitest thou me?
Annas [therefore] sent him bound unto Caiaphas the high priest.
Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They said therefore to him, Art thou also of his disciples? He denied and said, I am not.
One of the bondmen of the high priest, being kinsman of him whose ear Peter cut off, saith, Did I not see thee in the garden with him?
Peter therefore denied again, and immediately a cock crew.
They led then Jesus from Caiaphas to the Praetorium; and it was early; and they entered not into the Praetorium that they might not be defiled but eat the Passover.
Pilate then went out unto them, and saith, What accusation do ye bring against this man?
They answered and said to him, If this [man] were not an evil-doer, we should not have delivered him up to thee.
Pilate therefore said to them, Take ye him, and judge him according to your law. The Jews said to him, It is not allowed to us to put anyone to death;
that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled which he said signifying by what death he should die.
Pilate then again entered into the Praetorium, and called Jesus and said to him, Art thou the king of the Jews?
Jesus answered, Of thyself sayest thou this, or did others say [it] to thee about me?
Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thy nation and the chief priests delivered thee up to me: what didst thou?
Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, my servants would fight that I might not be delivered up to the Jews; but now my kingdom is not from hence.
Pilate then said to him, Art thou then a king? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. I have been born for this, and for this I have come into the world, that I might bear witness to the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.
Pilate saith to him, What is truth? And having said this, he again went out unto the Jews, and saith to them, I find no fault in him;
but ye have a custom that I should release one to you at the Passover: will ye therefore that I release to you the king of the Jews?
T h ey all cried then again, saying, Not this [man] but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.
