John 18:1-19

NSB(i) 1 When Jesus finished his prayer he and his disciples crossed the Kedron winter stream to a garden. 2 Judas, who betrayed him, knew the place because Jesus went there frequently with his disciples. 3 Judas brought a band of armed men and police from the chief priests and Pharisees there with lights and with weapons. 4 Jesus knew what was about to happen to him. He asked: »Whom do you seek?« 5 They answered him: »Jesus of Nazareth.« Jesus replied: »I am he.« Judas the betrayer was with them. 6 When he said to them I am he they drew back and fell to the ground. 7 Again he asked: »Whom do you seek?« And they said: »Jesus of Nazareth.« 8 Jesus answered: »I told you that I am he. If you seek me let these go their way.« 9 That way the word he spoke might be fulfilled; ‘I lost none of those you gave me.’ 10 Simon Peter drew the sword he had, struck the high priest’s servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant’s name was Malchus. 11 Jesus said to Peter: »Put the sword in the sheath. Shall I drink the cup the Father has given me?« 12 The soldiers, the military commanders, and the officers of the Jews, seized Jesus and bound him. 13 They led him to Annas first for he was father in law to Caiaphas who was high priest that year. 14 Caiaphas was the man who gave counsel to the Jews that it was for their benefit that one man should die for the people. 15 Simon Peter followed Jesus and so did another disciple. The high priest knew that disciple. He entered the court of the high priest with Jesus. 16 Peter stood outside the door. The disciple known by the high priest went out and spoke to the woman who kept the door and he brought in Peter. 17 The maid that kept the door asked Peter: »Are you also one of this man’s disciples?« He said: »I am not.« 18 It was cold. So the servants and officers warmed themselves by the fire. Peter also stood by the fire to get warm. 19 The high priest asked Jesus about his disciples and about the things he taught.
