Jesus ordered Peter, "Put back your sword. Do you think for a minute I'm not going to drink this cup the Father gave me?"
12
Then the Roman soldiers under their commander, joined by the Jewish police, seized Jesus and tied him up.
13
They took him first to Annas, father-in-law of Caiaphas. Caiaphas was the Chief Priest that year.
14
It was Caiaphas who had advised the Jews that it was to their advantage that one man die for the people.
15
Simon Peter and another disciple followed Jesus. That other disciple was known to the Chief Priest, and so he went in with Jesus to the Chief Priest's courtyard.
16
Peter had to stay outside. Then the other disciple went out, spoke to the doorkeeper, and got Peter in.
17
The young woman who was the doorkeeper said to Peter, "Aren't you one of this man's disciples?" He said, "No, I'm not."
18
The servants and police had made a fire because of the cold and were huddled there warming themselves. Peter stood with them, trying to get warm.
19
Annas interrogated Jesus regarding his disciples and his teaching.
20
Jesus answered, "I've spoken openly in public. I've taught regularly in meeting places and the Temple, where the Jews all come together. Everything has been out in the open. I've said nothing in secret.
21
So why are you treating me like a conspirator? Question those who have been listening to me. They know well what I have said. My teachings have all been aboveboard."
