Father, I will that they also, whom Thou hast given me, be with me where
I am. May they behold my glory, which Thou hast given me for Thou lovedst
me before the foundation of the world. O righteous Father, the world hath
not known Thee. But I have known Thee, and these have known that Thou
hast sent me. And I have declared unto them Thy Name, and will declare it
that the love wherewith Thou hast loved me may be in them and I in them.
18. When Jesus had spoken these words, He went forth with His
disciples over the brook Cedron where He entered into a garden with
His disciples. Judas, who betrayed Him, also knew the place for Jesus
ofttimes resorted thither with His disciples. Judas then, having been
given a band of men and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees,
cometh thither with lanterns and torches and weapons. Jesus therefore,
knowing all things that should come upon Him, went forth, and said unto
them, Whom seek ye? They answered Him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith
unto them, I am He. And Judas also, which betrayed Him, stood with
them. As soon as Jesus said I am He, they were stunned.
Then He asked them again, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus of
Nazareth. Jesus answered, I have told you that I am He. If therefore ye
seek me, let these go their way. This He said so that the saying might be
fulfilled, which He spoke, Of them which Thou gavest me I have lost none.
Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it, smote the high priest's
servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus. Jesus
immediately said to Peter, Put up thy sword into the sheath. The cup
which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it? Then the band and
the captain and officers of the Jews took Jesus, bound Him, and took Him
to Annas first, for he was father in law to Caiaphas, the high priest
that year. Now it was Caiaphas who gave counsel to the Jews that it was
expedient that one man should die for the people.
Simon Peter followed Jesus and so did another disciple who was known to
the high priest and who went into the palace of the high priest with
Jesus. But Peter stood outisde the door. Then the other disciple came
out, spoke unto her that kept the door, and brought Peter inside. She,
who kept the door saith unto Peter, Art not thou also one of this man's
disciples? He saith, I am not. He stood by the fire along with both
officers and servants who were warming themselves in the cold night.
