1 When Jesus  had spoken  these words  , he went forward  with  his  disciples  over  the brook  Cedron  , where  was  a garden  , into  the which  he  entered  , and  his  disciples  2 And  Judas  also  , which  betrayed  him  , knew  the place  : for  Jesus  ofttimes  resorted  there  with  his  disciples  3 Judas  then  , having received  a group  [of men] and  officers  from  the chief priests  and  Pharisees  , comes  there  with  lanterns  and  torches  and  weapons  4 Jesus  therefore  , knowing  all things  that should come  on  him  , went forward  , and said  to them  , Who  seek you  5 They answered  him  , Jesus  of Nazareth  . Jesus  said  to them  , I  am  [he]. And  Judas  also  , which  betrayed  him  , stood  with  them  6 As soon  then  as he had said  to them  ,  I  am  [he], they went  backward  +  , and  fell  to the ground  7 Then  asked he  them  again  , Who  seek you  ? And  they said  , Jesus  of Nazareth  8 Jesus  answered  , I have told  you  that  I  am  [he]: if  therefore  you seek  me  , let  these  go their way  9 That  the words  might be fulfilled  , which  he spoke  ,  Of  them  which  you gave  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  to Peter  , Put up  your  sword  into  the sheath  : the cup  which  my Father  has given  me  , will I  not  drink  it  12 Then  the group  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  to the high priest  , and  went in with  Jesus  into  the palace  of the high priest  16 But  Peter  stood  at  the door  without  . Then  that other  disciple  went out  , which  was  known  to the high priest  , and  spoke  to her that kept the door  , and  brought in  Peter  17 Then  said  the damsel  that kept the door  to Peter  , are  not  you  also  [one] of  this  man's  disciples  ? He  ssaidys  , I am  not  18 And  the servants  and  officers  stood there  , who had made  a fire of coals  ; for  it was  cold  : and  they warmed themselves  : and  Peter  stood  +  with  them  , and  warmed himself  19 The high priest  then  asked  Jesus  of  his  disciples  , and  of  his  doctrine  20 Jesus  answered  him  , I  spoke  openly  to the world  ; I  ever  taught  in  the synagogue  , and  in  the temple  , where  the Jews  always  resort  ; and  in  secret  have I said  nothing  21 Why  ask you  me  ? ask  them which heard me  , what  I have said  to them  : see  , they  know  what  I  said  22 And  when he  had  so  spoken  , one  of the officers  which stood by  struck  +  Jesus  with the palm of his hand  +  , saying  , answers you  the high priest  so  23 Jesus  answered  him  , If  I have spoken  evil  , bear witness  of  the evil  : but  if  well  , why  strikes  you me  24 Now Annas  had sent  him  bound  to  Caiaphas  the high priest  25 And  Simon  Peter  stood  +  and  warmed himself  . They said  therefore  to him  , are  not  you  also  [one] of  his  disciples  ? He  denied  [it], and  said  , I am  not  26 One  of  the servants  of the high priest  , being  [his] kinsman  whose  ear  Peter  cut off  , said  , Did  not  I  see  you  in  the garden  with  him  27 Peter  then  denied  again  : and  immediately  the cock  crew  28 Then  led they  Jesus  from  Caiaphas  to  the hall of judgment  : and  it was  early  ; and  they themselves  went  not  into  the judgment hall  , in case  they should be defiled  ; but  that  they might eat  the passover  29 Pilate  then  went out  to  them  , and  said  , What  accusation  bring you  against  this  man  30 They answered  and  said  to him  , If  he  were  not  a malefactor  , we would  not  have delivered  him  up  to you  31 Then  said  Pilate  to them  , Take  you  him  , and  judge  him  according  to your  law  . The Jews  therefore  said  to him  , It is  not  lawful  for us  to put  any man  to death  32 That  the words  of Jesus  might be fulfilled  , which  he spoke  , signifying  what  death  he should  die  33 Then  Pilate  entered  into  the judgment hall  again  , and  called  Jesus  , and  said  to him  , are  you  the King  of the Jews  34 Jesus  answered  him  , [Do] you  say  this thing  of  yourself  , or  did others  tell it  you  of  me  35 Pilate  answered  ,  Am  I  a Jew  ? Thine own  nation  and  the chief priests  have delivered  you  to me  : what  have you done  36 Jesus  answered  , My  kingdom  is  not  of  this  world  : if  my  kingdom  were  of  this  world  , then would  my  servants  fight  , that  I should  not  be delivered  to the Jews  : but  now  is  my  kingdom  not  from far from here  37 Pilate  therefore  said  to him  , are  you  a king  then  ? Jesus  answered  , You  say  that  I  am  a king  . To  this  end was  I  born  , and  for  this  cause came I  into  the world  , that  I should bear witness  to the truth  . Every one  that is  of  the truth  hears  my  voice  38 Pilate  said  to him  , What  is  truth  ? And  when he had said  this  , he went out  again  to  the Jews  , and  said  to them  , I  find  in  him  no  fault  39 But  you  have  a custom  , that  I should release  to you  one  at  the passover  : will you  therefore  that I release  to you  the King  of the Jews  40 Then  cried they  all  again  , saying  , Not  this man  , but  Barabbas  . Now  Barabbas  was  a robber
