018:005 "For Jesus the Nazarene," was the answer. "I am he," He replied.
(Now Judas who was betraying Him was also standing with them.)
018:006 As soon then as He said to them, "I am he," they went backwards
and fell to the ground.
018:007 Again therefore He asked them, "Who are you looking for?"
"For Jesus the Nazarene," they said.
018:008 "I have told you," replied Jesus, "that I am he.
If therefore you are looking for me, let these my disciples
go their way."
018:009 He made this request in order that the words He had spoken
might be fulfilled, "As for those whom Thou hast given me,
I have not lost one."
018:010 Simon Peter, however, having a sword, drew it, and, aiming at
the High Priest's servant, cut off his right ear.
The servant's name was Malchus.
018:011 Jesus therefore said to Peter, "Put back your sword.
Shall I refuse to drink the cup of sorrow which the Father
has given me to drink?"
018:012 So the battalion and their tribune and the Jewish police closed in,
and took Jesus and bound Him.
018:013 They then brought Him to Annas first; for Annas was the father-in-law
of Caiaphas who was High Priest that year.
018:014 (It was this Caiaphas who had advised the Jews, saying, "It is
to your interest that one man should die for the People.")
018:015 Meanwhile Simon Peter was following Jesus, and so also was
another disciple. The latter was known to the High Priest,
and went in with Jesus into the court of the High Priest's palace.
018:016 But Peter remained standing outside the door, till the disciple
who was acquainted with the High Priest came out and induced
the portress to let Peter in.
