And, they having kindled a fire in the midst of the court, and having sat down together, Peter was sitting in the midst of them. And a certain maid, seeing him sitting by the light, and looking intently at him, said, "This man also was with Him." But he denied, saying, "I do not know Him, woman." And, after a little while, another, seeing him, said, "You also are one of them." But Peter said, "Man, I am not." And, about one hour having intervened, a certain other was confidently insisting, saying, "Of a truth this one also was with Him; for he also is a Galilaean." But Peter said, "Man, I know not what you are saying." And immediately, while he was yet speaking, a cock crowed. And, turning, the Lord looked upon Peter: and Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how He said to him, "Before a cock shall crow to-day, you will thrice deny Me." And, going forth without, he wept bitterly. And the men who were holding Jesus were mocking Him, beating Him; and, blindfolding Him, they were questioning Him, saying, "Prophesy who he is that smote Thee." And many other things they said against Him, reviling Him. And, when it was day, the eldership of the people was gathered together, both high priests and scribes; and they led Him away into their Sanhedrin, saying, "If Thou art the Christ, tell us." But He said to them, "If I tell you, ye will not believe. And, if I question you, ye will not answer. But henceforth the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God." And they all said, "Art Thou, therefore, the Son of God?" And He said to them, "Ye say that I am." And they said, "Why do we still have need of testimony? for we ourselves heard from His own mouth!"
And a certain one of them smote the servant of the high priest, and struck off his right ear. But Jesus, answering, said, "Suffer ye thus far." And, touching the ear, He healed him. And Jesus said to the high priests and captains of the temple and elders, who came up against Him, "Did ye come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs? When I was daily with you in the temple, ye stretched not forth your hands against Me; but this is your hour, and the power of darkness." And, seizing Him, they led Him away, and brought Him into the house of the high priest. But Peter was following afar off. And, they having kindled a fire in the midst of the court, and having sat down together, Peter was sitting in the midst of them. And a certain maid, seeing him sitting by the light, and looking intently at him, said, "This man also was with Him." But he denied, saying, "I do not know Him, woman."

Judas, therefore, having received the band of soldiers and officers from the high priests and the Pharisees, comes thither with lanterns, and torches, and weapons. Jesus, therefore, knowing all things that were coming upon Him, went forth, and saith to them, "Whom seek ye?" They answered Him, "Jesus, the Nazarene." Jesus saith to them, "I am He." And Judas also, who betrayed Him, was standing with them. read more.
When, therefore, He said to them, "I am He," they went backward, and fell to the ground. Again, therefore, He asked them, "Whom seek ye?" And they said, "Jesus, the Nazarene." Jesus answered, "I told you that I am He; if, therefore, ye are seeking Me, permit these to go their way;" that the word might be fulfilled, which He spake, "Of those whom Thou hast given Me, I lost none." Simon Peter, therefore, having a sword, drew it, and struck the high priest's servant, and cut off his right ear. Now the servant's name was Malchus. Jesus, therefore, said to Peter, "Put up the sword into the sheathe. The cup which the Father hath given Me, shall I not drink it?" So the band, and the chief captain, and the officers of the Jews, seized Jesus, and bound Him, and led Him to Annas first; for he was father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was high priest that year. And it was Caiaphas who counseled the Jews, that it was expedient that one man should die for the people. And Simon Peter and another disciple were following Jesus. And that disciple was known to the high priest, and went in with Jesus into the court of the high priest; But Peter was standing at the door without. So the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spake to her that kept the door, and brought in Peter. The maiden door-keeper, therefore, says to Peter, Are you also one of this Man's disciples?" He says, "I am not." And the servants and the officers were standing there, having made a fire of coals (because it was cold), and were warming themselves; and Peter also was with them, standing and warming himself. The high priest, therefore, asked Jesus concerning His disciples, and concerning His teaching. Jesus answered, "I have spoken openly to the world; I always taught in the synagogue and in the temple, where all the Jews assemble together; and in secret I spake nothing. Why do you ask Me? Ask those who have heard, what I spake to them; behold, they know the things which I said." And, when He had said this, one of the officers standing by gave Jesus a blow with a rod, saying, "Dost Thou answer the high priest thus!" Jesus answered him, "If I spake evil, testify concerning the evil; but, if well, why do you beat Me?" Annas, therefore, sent Him bound to Caiaphas the high priest. And Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They said, therefore, to him, "Are you also one of His disciples?" He denied, and said, "I am not." One of the servants of the high priest, being a kinsman of him whose ear Peter cut off, says, "Did not I see you in the garden with Him?" Again, therefore, Peter denied; and straightway a cock crowed. They led Jesus, therefore, from Caiaphas into the Praetorium; and it was early; and they themselves entered not into the Praetorium, that they might not be defiled, but might eat the passover. Pilate, therefore, went out to them, and says, "What accusation do ye bring against this Man?" They answered and said to him, "If this Man were not an evil-doer, we would not have delivered Him up to you." Pilate, therefore, said to them, "Take Him yourselves, and judge Him according to your law." The Jews said to him, "It is not lawful for us to kill anyone:" that the word of Jesus might he fulfilled, which He spake, signifying by what manner of death He was about to die. Pilate, therefore, entered again into the Praetorium, and called Jesus, and said to Him, "Art Thou the King of the Jews?" Jesus answered, "Do you say this of yourself, or did others tell you concerning Me?" Pilate answered, "Am I a Jew? Thy own nation, and the high priests delivered Thee up to me: what didst Thou do?" Jesus answered, "My Kingdom is not of this world. If My Kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews; but now My kingdom is not from hence." Pilate, therefore, said to Him, "Art Thou, then, a King?" Jesus answered, "You say that I am a King. To this end have I been born, and to this end have I come into the world, that I should testify to the truth. Every one who is of the truth hears My voice." Pilate says to Him, "What is truth?" And, having said this, he went out again to the Jews, and says to them, "I find no crime in Him. But ye have a custom, that I should release to you one at the passover. Do ye wish, therefore, that I release to you the King of the Jews?" They cried out, therefore, again, saying, "Not this Man, but Barabbas!" Now Barabbas was a robber.
When, therefore, He said to them, "I am He," they went backward, and fell to the ground. Again, therefore, He asked them, "Whom seek ye?" And they said, "Jesus, the Nazarene." Jesus answered, "I told you that I am He; if, therefore, ye are seeking Me, permit these to go their way;" that the word might be fulfilled, which He spake, "Of those whom Thou hast given Me, I lost none."
