John 18:3-23
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 18
3So Judas, having obtained the Roman cohort and officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, *came there with lanterns, torches, and weapons. 4Jesus therefore, knowing all the things that were coming upon Him, came out into the open and *said to them, 'Whom are you seeking?' 5They answered Him, 'Jesus the Nazarene.' He *said to them, 'I am He.' And Judas also, who was betraying Him, was standing with them. 6Now then, when He said to them, 'I am He,' they drew back and fell to the ground. 7He then asked them again, 'Whom are you seeking?' And they said, 'Jesus the Nazarene.' 8Jesus answered, 'I told you that I am He; so if you are seeking Me, let these men go on their way.' 9This took place so that the word which He spoke would be fulfilled: 'Of those whom You have given Me I lost not one.' 10Then Simon Peter, since he had a sword, drew it and struck the high priest’s slave, and cut off his right ear; and the slave’s name was Malchus. 11So Jesus said to Peter, 'Put the sword into the sheath; the cup which the Father has given Me, am I not to drink it?'
12So the Roman cohort, the commander, and the officers of the Jews arrested Jesus and bound Him,
13and brought Him to Annas first; for he was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.
14Now Caiaphas was the one who had advised the Jews that it was in their best interest for one man to die in behalf of the people.
15Simon Peter was following Jesus, and so was another disciple. Now that disciple was known to the high priest, and he entered with Jesus into the courtyard of the high priest,
16but Peter was standing at the door outside. So the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to the doorkeeper, and brought Peter in.
17Then the slave woman who was the doorkeeper *said to Peter, 'You are not also one of this Man’s disciples, are you?' He *said, 'I am not.'
18Now the slaves and the officers were standing there, having made a charcoal fire, for it was cold and they were warming themselves; and Peter was also with them, standing and warming himself.
19The high priest then questioned Jesus about His disciples, and about His teaching.
20Jesus answered him, 'I have spoken openly to the world; I always taught in synagogues and in the temple area, where all the Jews congregate; and I said nothing in secret.
21Why are you asking Me? Ask those who have heard what I spoke to them. Look: these people know what I said.'
22But when He said this, one of the officers, who was standing nearby, struck Jesus, saying, 'Is that the way You answer the high priest?'
23Jesus answered him, 'If I have spoken wrongly, testify of the wrong; but if rightly, why do you strike Me?'

Chapter 18
3Judas then, having received a band of men and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns and torches and weapons. 4Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said unto them, Whom seek ye 5They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, I am he. And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with them. 6As soon then as he had said unto them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground. 7Then asked he them again, Whom seek ye And they said, Jesus of Nazareth. 8Jesus answered, I have told you that I am he: if therefore ye seek me, let these go their way: 9That the saying might be fulfilled, which he spake, Of them which thou gavest me have I lost none. 10Then 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. 11Then said Jesus unto Peter, Put up thy sword into the sheath: the cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it
12Then the band and the captain and officers of the Jews took Jesus, and bound him,
13And led him away to Annas first; for he was father in law to Caiaphas, which was the high priest that same year.
14Now Caiaphas was he, which gave counsel to the Jews, that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.
15And 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.
16But Peter stood at the door without. Then went out that other disciple, which was known unto the high priest, and spake unto her that kept the door, and brought in Peter.
17Then saith the damsel that kept the door unto Peter, Art not thou also one of this man's disciples? He saith, I am not.
18And 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.
19The high priest then asked Jesus of his disciples, and of his doctrine.
20Jesus answered him, I spake openly to the world; I ever taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither the Jews always resort; and in secret have I said nothing.
21Why askest thou me? ask them which heard me, what I have said unto them: behold, they know what I said.
22And when he had thus spoken, one of the officers which stood by struck Jesus with the palm of his hand, saying, Answerest thou the high priest so?
23Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil: but if well, why smitest thou me

5"Jesus of Nazareth," they answered. "I am he," Jesus told them. Judas, who betrayed him, was also standing with them.
6When Jesus told them, "I am he," they stepped back and fell to the ground.
8"I told you I am he," Jesus replied. "So if you’re looking for me, let these men go."
9This was to fulfill the words he had said: "I have not lost one of those you have given me."
12Then the company of soldiers, the commander, and the Jewish officials arrested Jesus and tied him up.
13First they led him to Annas, since he was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.
14Caiaphas was the one who had advised the Jews that it would be better for one man to die for the people.
15Simon Peter was following Jesus, as was another disciple. That disciple was an acquaintance of the high priest; so he went with Jesus into the high priest’s courtyard.
16But Peter remained standing outside by the door. So the other disciple, the one known to the high priest, went out and spoke to the girl who was the doorkeeper and brought Peter in.
17Then the servant girl who was the doorkeeper said to Peter, "You aren’t one of this man’s disciples too, are you?" "I am not." he said.
18Now the servants and the officials had made a charcoal fire, because it was cold. They were standing there warming themselves, and Peter was standing with them, warming himself.

5Jesus the Nazarene,' they replied. 'I AM he,' Jesus said. (Judas, who betrayed him, was standing with them.)
6As Jesus said 'I AM he,' they all drew back and fell to the ground!
8I told you that I AM he,' Jesus said. 'And since I am the one you want, let these others go.'
9He did this to fulfill his own statement: 'I did not lose a single one of those you have given me.'
10Then Simon Peter drew a sword and slashed off the right ear of Malchus, the high priest’s slave.
11But Jesus said to Peter, 'Put your sword back into its sheath. Shall I not drink from the cup of suffering the Father has given me?'
12So the soldiers, their commanding officer, and the Temple guards arrested Jesus and tied him up.
13First they took him to Annas, since he was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, the high priest at that time.
14Caiaphas was the one who had told the other Jewish leaders, 'It’s better that one man should die for the people.'
15Simon Peter followed Jesus, as did another of the disciples. That other disciple was acquainted with the high priest, so he was allowed to enter the high priest’s courtyard with Jesus.
16Peter had to stay outside the gate. Then the disciple who knew the high priest spoke to the woman watching at the gate, and she let Peter in.
19Inside, the high priest began asking Jesus about his followers and what he had been teaching them.
20Jesus replied, 'Everyone knows what I teach. I have preached regularly in the synagogues and the Temple, where the people gather. I have not spoken in secret.
21Why are you asking me this question? Ask those who heard me. They know what I said.'

Chapter 18
3So Judas, having procured a band of soldiers and some officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, went there with lanterns and torches and weapons. 4Then Jesus, knowing all that would happen to him, came forward and said to them, "Whom do you seek?" 5They answered him, "Jesus of Nazareth." Jesus said to them, "I am he." Judas, who betrayed him, was standing with them. 6When Jesus said to them, "I am he," they drew back and fell to the ground. 7So he asked them again, "Whom do you seek?" And they said, "Jesus of Nazareth." 8Jesus answered, "I told you that I am he. So, if you seek me, let these men go." 9This was to fulfill the word that he had spoken: "Of those whom you gave me I have lost not one." 10Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it and struck the high priest 's servant and cut off his right ear. (The servant 's name was Malchus.) 11So Jesus said to Peter, "Put your sword into its sheath; shall I not drink the cup that the Father has given me?"
12So the band of soldiers and their captain and the officers of the Jews arrested Jesus and bound him.
13First they led him to Annas, for he was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.
14It was Caiaphas who had advised the Jews that it would be expedient that one man should die for the people.
15Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple. Since that disciple was known to the high priest, he entered with Jesus into the courtyard of the high priest,
16but Peter stood outside at the door. So the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to the servant girl who kept watch at the door, and brought Peter in.
17The servant girl at the door said to Peter, "You also are not one of this man 's disciples, are you?" He said, "I am not."
18Now the servants and officers had made a charcoal fire, because it was cold, and they were standing and warming themselves. Peter also was with them, standing and warming himself.
19The high priest then questioned Jesus about his disciples and his teaching.
20Jesus answered him, "I have spoken openly to the world. I have always taught in synagogues and in the temple, where all Jews come together. I have said nothing in secret.
21Why do you ask me? Ask those who have heard me what I said to them; they know what I said."
22When he had said these things, one of the officers standing by struck Jesus with his hand, saying, "Is that how you answer the high priest?"
23Jesus answered him, "If what I said is wrong, bear witness about the wrong; but if what I said is right, why do you strike me?"

5"Jesus of Nazareth," they replied. "I am he," Jesus said. (And Judas the traitor was standing there with them.)
6When Jesus said, "I am he," they drew back and fell to the ground.
8Jesus answered, "I told you that I am he. If you are looking for me, then let these men go."
9This happened so that the words he had spoken would be fulfilled: "I have not lost one of those you gave me."
12Then the detachment of soldiers with its commander and the Jewish officials arrested Jesus. They bound him
13and brought him first to Annas, who was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, the high priest that year.
14Caiaphas was the one who had advised the Jewish leaders that it would be good if one man died for the people.
15Simon Peter and another disciple were following Jesus. Because this disciple was known to the high priest, he went with Jesus into the high priest’s courtyard,
16but Peter had to wait outside at the door. The other disciple, who was known to the high priest, came back, spoke to the servant girl on duty there and brought Peter in.
