18 These things having said, Jesus went forth with his disciples beyond the brook of Kedron, where was a garden, into which he entered, himself and his disciples,

² and Judas also, who delivered him up, had known the place, because many times did Jesus assemble there with his disciples.

³ Judas, therefore, having taken the band and officers out of the chief priests and Pharisees, doth come thither with torches and lamps, and weapons;

⁴ Jesus, therefore, knowing all things that are coming upon him, having gone forth, said to them, `Whom do ye seek?'

⁵ they answered him, `Jesus the Nazarene;' Jesus saith to them, `I am [he];' -- and Judas who delivered him up was standing with them; --

⁶ when, therefore, he said to them -- `I am [he],' they went away backward, and fell to the ground.

⁷ Again, therefore, he questioned them, `Whom do ye seek?' and they said, `Jesus the Nazarene;'

⁸ Jesus answered, `I said to you that I am [he]; if, then, me ye seek, suffer these to go away;'

⁹ that the word might be fulfilled that he said -- `Those whom Thou hast given to me, I did not lose of them even one.'

¹⁰ Simon Peter, therefore, having a sword, drew it, and struck the chief priest's servant, and cut off his right ear -- and the name of the servant was Malchus --

¹¹ Jesus, therefore, said to Peter, `Put the sword into the sheath; the cup that the Father hath given to me, may I not drink it?'

¹² The band, therefore, and the captain, and the officers of the Jews, took hold on Jesus, and bound him,

¹³ and they led him away to Annas first, for he was father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was chief priest of that year,

¹⁴ and Caiaphas was he who gave counsel to the Jews, that it is good for one man to perish for the people.

¹⁵ And following Jesus was Simon Peter, and the other disciple, and that disciple was known to the chief priest, and he entered with Jesus to the hall of the chief priest,

¹⁶ and Peter was standing at the door without, therefore went forth the other disciple who was known to the chief priest, and he spake to the female keeping the door, and he brought in Peter.

¹⁷ Then said the maid keeping the door to Peter, `Art thou also of the disciples of this man?' he saith, `I am not;'

¹⁸ and the servants and the officers were standing, having made a fire of coals, because it was cold, and they were warming themselves, and Peter was standing with them, and warming himself.
