The Pharisees heard the multitude thus debating concerning him; and the chief priest and the Pharisees sent officers to seize him.

Then the officers returned to the chief priest and Pharisees,

but one of them named Caiaphas, being the high priest at that time, said to them, ye don't know what you are about.

now this he did not say from his own motion: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for the nation:

But the chief priest passed an edict that they would also slay Lazarus;

Simon Peter, therefore, having a sword, drew it, and struck the chief priest's servant, and cut off his right ear -- and the name of the servant was Malchus --

and they led him away to Annas first, for he was father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was chief priest of that year,

And following Jesus was Simon Peter, and the other disciple, and that disciple was known to the chief priest, and he entered with Jesus to the hall of the chief priest,

and Peter was standing at the door without, therefore went forth the other disciple who was known to the chief priest, and he spake to the female keeping the door, and he brought in Peter.

Now the [head priest's] slaves and the [Temple] guards were standing around a charcoal fire they had made to warm themselves by, because it was cold. And Peter was also warming himself with them.

In the mean time, the high priest having question'd Jesus about his disciples, and his doctrine.

And he having said these things, one of the officers standing by did give Jesus a slap, saying, 'Thus dost thou answer the chief priest?'

Annas then sent him bound to Caiaphas the chief priest.

One of the servants of the chief priest, being kinsman of him whose ear Peter cut off, saith, 'Did not I see thee in the garden with him?'

Then when the high priest and officers saw Him, they cried out, Crucify Him, crucify Him. Pilate says to them, You take Him, and crucify Him: for I find nothing criminal in Him.
