¹When Jesus had spoken these words, he went out with his disciples over the brook Kidron, where there was a garden, into which he and his disciples entered.
²Now Judas, who betrayed him, also knew the place, for Jesus often met there with his disciples.
³Judas then, having taken a detachment of soldiers and officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, came there with lanterns, torches, and weapons.
⁴Jesus therefore, knowing all the things that were happening to him, went out and said to them, “Who are you looking for?”
⁵They answered him, “Jesus of Nazareth.” Jesus said to them, “I am he.” Judas also, who betrayed him, was standing with them.
⁶When therefore he said to them, “I am he,” they went backward and fell to the ground.
⁷Again therefore he asked them, “Who are you looking for?” They said, “Jesus of Nazareth.”
⁸Jesus answered, “I told you that I am he. If therefore you seek me, let these go their way,”
⁹that the word might be fulfilled which he spoke, “Of those whom you have given me, I have lost none.”
¹⁰Simon Peter therefore, having a sword, drew it, struck the high priest’s servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant’s name was Malchus.
¹¹Jesus therefore said to Peter, “Put the sword into its sheath. The cup which the Father has given me, shall I not surely drink it?”

²⁵Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They said therefore to him, “You aren’t also one of his disciples, are you?” He denied it and said, “I am not.”
²⁶One of the servants of the high priest, being a relative of him whose ear Peter had cut off, said, “Didn’t I see you in the garden with him?”
²⁷Peter therefore denied it again, and immediately the rooster crowed.
