John 18:5-15

5 They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, I am he. And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with them.

6 As soon then as he had said unto them *, I am he, they went backward *, and fell to the ground.

7 Then asked he them again, Whom seek ye ? And they said , Jesus of Nazareth.

8 Jesus answered , I have told you that I am he: if therefore ye seek me, let these go their way :

9 That the saying might be fulfilled , which he spake * , Of them which thou gavest me have I lost none.

10 Then Simon Peter having a sword drew it, and smote the high priest's servant, and cut off his right ear *. The servant's name was Malchus.

11 Then said Jesus unto Peter, Put up thy sword into the sheath: the cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?

12 Then the band and the captain and officers of the Jews took Jesus, and bound him,

13 And led him away to Annas first; for he was father in law to Caiaphas, which was the high priest that same year.

14 Now Caiaphas was he , which gave counsel to the Jews, that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.

15 And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple * : that disciple was known unto the high priest, and went in with Jesus into the palace of the high priest.
