4
Then Jesus, having knowledge of everything which was coming on him, went forward and said to them, Who are you looking for?
5
Their answer was, Jesus the Nazarene. Jesus said, I am he. And Judas, who was false to him, was there at their side.
6
And when he said to them, I am he, they went back, falling to the earth.
7
So again he put the question to them, Who are you looking for? And they said, Jesus the Nazarene.
8
Jesus made answer, I have said that I am he; if you are looking for me, let these men go away.
9
(He said this so that his words might come true, I have kept safe all those whom you gave to me.)
10
Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, took it out and gave the high priest's servant a blow, cutting off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus.
11
Then Jesus said to Peter, Put back your sword: am I not to take the cup which my Father has given to me?
12
Then the band and the chief captain and the police took Jesus and put cords round him.
13
They took him first to Annas, because Annas was the father-in-law of Caiaphas who was the high priest that year.
14
It was Caiaphas who had said to the Jews that it was in their interest for one man to be put to death for the people.
