* WHEN Jesus had spoken these words , he went out with his disciples across the brook Kidron to a place where there was a garden . Into this he entered with his disciples . * Judas who was betraying him knew the place , for Jesus often met with his disciples there . * So Judas , getting a battalion of soldiers and some subordinate officers of the high priests and the Pharisees , came there with torches and lamps and weapons . * Jesus , knowing all things that were coming upon him , came forward and said to them , * They answered him , "Jesus the Nazarene ." He said to them , Judas the traitor was standing with them . * When he said to them , they moved backward and fell to the ground . * Again he questioned them , They said , "Jesus the Nazarene ." * Jesus answered , * He said this that the word might be fulfilled which he had spoken , * Simon Peter , having a sword , drew it and struck a servant of the High Priest , cutting off his right ear . The servant 's name was Malchus . * Jesus said to Peter , * So the battalion and the Tribune and the Jewish policemen arrested Jesus and bound him * and took him first to Annas , for he was the father-in-law of Caiaphas who was High Priest that year . * Caiaphas was the man who had advised the Jews that it was best that one man should die for the people . * Simon Peter was following Jesus and so was another disciple . That disciple was known to the High Priest and he went in with Jesus into the court of the High Priest . * Peter stood by the gate outside . The other disciple , who was known to the High Priest , went out and spoke to the girl at the door and brought in Peter . * The girl at the door said to Peter , "You are not one of this man 's disciples , too , are you ?" He said , "I am not ." * The servants and policemen were standing there . They had made a fire , for it was cold , and were warming themselves . Peter was with them , standing and warming himself . * The High Priest questioned Jesus about his disciples and his teaching . * Jesus answered him , riversident @John:18:21 " /> * When he said this , a policeman , who was standing by , gave Jesus a slap , saying , "Do you answer the High Priest that way ?" * Jesus answered him , * Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas the High Priest . * Simon Peter was standing and warming himself . They said to him , "Are not you also one of his disciples ?" He denied it and said , "I am not ." * One of the servants of the High Priest , a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off , said , "Did I not see you in the garden with him ?" * Again Peter denied , and immediately a cock crowed . * They led Jesus from Caiaphas to the Castle . It was early morning . The Jews did not enter the Castle , wishing to avoid defilement , so that they might eat the Passover . * Pilate went out to them and said , "What charge do you bring against this man ?" * They answered , "If he were not an evil-doer , we should not have handed him over to you ." * Pilate said to them , "Take him yourselves and judge him by your law ." The Jews said to him , "It is not lawful for us to put any one to death ." * They said this that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled \'97 the word he had spoken indicating by what death he was to die . * Pilate entered the Castle again and called Jesus and said to him , "Are you the King of the Jews ?" * Jesus answered , * Pilate answered , "I am not a Jew , am I ? Your nation and the high priests have handed you over to me . What have you done ?" * Jesus answered , * Pilate said to him , "Are you not a king then ?" Jesus answered , * Pilate said to him , "What is truth ?" After saying this he went out again to the Jews and said to them , "I find no crime in him . * But you have a custom that I should release for you one at the Passover . Do you want me to release for you the King of the Jews ?" * They shouted again , saying , "Not this man , but Barabbas !" Barabbas was a robber .
