If therefore you
seek me, let these go their way,"
018:009 that the word might be fulfilled which he spoke, "Of those whom
you have given me, I have lost none."{John 6:39}
018:010 Simon Peter therefore, having a sword, drew it, and struck
the high priest's servant, and cut off his right ear.
The servant's name was Malchus.
018:011 Jesus therefore said to Peter, "Put the sword into its sheath.
The cup which the Father has given me, shall I not
surely drink it?"
018:012 So the detachment, the commanding officer, and the officers
of the Jews, seized Jesus and bound him,
018:013 and led him to Annas first, for he was father-in-law to Caiaphas,
who was high priest that year.
018:014 Now it was Caiaphas who advised the Jews that it was expedient
that one man should perish for the people.
018:015 Simon Peter followed Jesus, as did another disciple.
Now that disciple was known to the high priest, and entered
in with Jesus into the court of the high priest;
018:016 but Peter was standing at the door outside. So the other disciple,
who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to her
who kept the door, and brought in Peter.
018:017 Then the maid who kept the door said to Peter, "Are you
also one of this man's disciples?" He said, "I am not."
018:018 Now the servants and the officers were standing there, having made
a fire of coals, for it was cold. They were warming themselves.
Peter was with them, standing and warming himself.
018:019 The high priest therefore asked Jesus about his disciples,
and about his teaching.
018:020 Jesus answered him, "I spoke openly to the world. I always taught
in synagogues, and in the temple, where the Jews always meet.
I said nothing in secret.
018:021 Why do you ask me? Ask those who have heard me what I said
to them. Behold, these know the things which I said."
018:022 When he had said this, one of the officers standing by slapped
Jesus with his hand, saying, "Do you answer the high
priest like that?"
018:023 Jesus answered him, "If I have spoken evil, testify of the evil;
but if well, why do you beat me?"
018:024 Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas, the high priest.
018:025 Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They said
therefore to him, "You aren't also one of his disciples, are you?"
He denied it, and said, "I am not."
018:026 One of the servants of the high priest, being a relative
of him whose ear Peter had cut off, said, "Didn't I see you
in the garden with him?"
018:027 Peter therefore denied it again, and immediately the rooster crowed.
018:028 They led Jesus therefore from Caiaphas into the Praetorium.
It was early, and they themselves didn't enter into the Praetorium,
that they might not be defiled, but might eat the Passover.
