John 18:4-14

4 So Jesus, ¹knowing all the things that were coming upon Him, went forth and said to them, "²Whom do you seek?"

5 They answered Him, "Jesus the Nazarene." He said to them, "I am He." And Judas also, who was betraying Him, was standing with them.

6 So when He said to them, "I am He," they drew back and fell to the ground.

7 Therefore He again asked them, "³Whom do you seek?" And they said, "Jesus the Nazarene."

8 Jesus answered, "I told you that I am He; so if you seek Me, let these go their way,"

9 to fulfill the word which He spoke, "⁴Of those whom You have given Me I lost not one."

10 Simon Peter then, ⁵having a sword, drew it and struck the high priest's slave, and cut off his right ear; and the slave's name was Malchus.

11 So Jesus said to Peter, "Put the sword into the sheath; ⁶the cup which the Father has given Me, shall I not drink it?"

12 ⁷So ⁸the Roman cohort and the commander and the ⁹officers of the Jews, arrested Jesus and bound Him,

13 and led Him to ¹⁰Annas first; for he was father-in-law of ¹¹Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.

14 Now Caiaphas was the one who had advised the Jews that ¹²it was expedient for one man to die on behalf of the people.
