Old/New Testament

Jesus Is Handed Over To The Authorities

18 Having said these things, Jesus went-out with His disciples to the other side of the ravine^[a] of Kidron where there was a garden, into which He entered, He and His disciples. ² Now Judas, the one handing Him over, also knew the place, because Jesus often was gathered there with His disciples. ³ So Judas— having received^[b] the [Roman] cohort^[c], and officers from the chief priests and from the Pharisees— comes there with lanterns and torches and weapons. ⁴ Then Jesus, knowing all the things coming upon Him, went forth. And He says to them, “Whom are you seeking?” ⁵ They answered Him, “Jesus the Nazarene”. He says to them, “I am He”. Now Judas, the one handing Him over, was also standing there with them. ⁶ So when He said to them, “I am He”, they^[d] went back, and fell on the ground. ⁷ Then He again asked them, “Whom are you seeking?” And the ones said, “Jesus the Nazarene”. ⁸ Jesus responded, “I told you that I am He. If then you are seeking Me, permit these ones to go”— ⁹ in order that the word which He spoke^[e] might be fulfilled, that “The ones whom You have given Me— I did not lose any of them”. ¹⁰ Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it and hit the slave of the high priest, and cut-off his right ear. And the name for the slave was Malchus. ¹¹ Then Jesus said to Peter, “Put the sword into the sheath. The cup which the Father has given Me— shall not I drink it?”

Jesus Stands Before Annas And Caiaphas

¹² Then the [Roman] cohort and its commander^[f], and the officers of the Jews, arrested Jesus, and bound Him. ¹³ And they led Him to Annas first. For he was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was the high priest of that year. ¹⁴ And Caiaphas was the one having counseled^[g] the Jews that it was better that one Man die for the people.

Peter Denies Jesus

¹⁵ Now Simon Peter and another disciple^[h] were following Jesus. And that disciple was known to the high priest, and he entered with Jesus into the courtyard of the high priest. ¹⁶ But Peter was standing at the door outside. So the other disciple, the one known by the high priest, went out and spoke to the doorkeeper, and brought in Peter. ¹⁷ Then the doorkeeper servant-girl says to Peter, “You are not also one of the disciples of this man, are you?” That one says, “I am not”. ¹⁸ And the slaves and the officers, having made a charcoal-fire because it was cold, were standing there and warming themselves. And Peter was also with them, standing there and warming himself.
