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.
3ⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲥ ⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲧⲁϥϭⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲙⲏϣ ⲛⲉⲙ ϩⲁⲛϩⲩⲡⲉⲣⲉⲧⲏⲥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲓⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲓⲫⲁⲣⲓⲥⲉⲟⲥ ⲁϥ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲙⲁⲩ ⲛⲉⲙ ϩⲁⲛⲫⲁⲛⲟⲥ ⲛⲉⲙ ϩⲁⲛⲗⲁⲙⲡⲁⲥ ⲛⲉⲙ ϩⲁⲛϩⲟⲡⲗⲟⲛ.
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?”
5ⲁⲩⲉⲣⲟⲩⲱ ⲡⲉϫⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲓⲛⲁⲍⲱⲣⲉⲟⲥ ⲡⲉϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ ⲛⲁϥⲟϩⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲁⲧϥ ⲛⲉⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲥ ⲫⲏ ⳿ⲉⲛⲁϥⲛⲁⲧⲏⲓϥ.
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.
11ⲡⲉϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ϩⲓⲟⲩ⳿Ⲓ ⳿ⲛϯⲥⲏϥⲓ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉⲥⲑⲏⲕⲏ ⲡⲓ⳿ⲁⲫⲟⲧ ⲉⲧⲁϥⲧⲏⲓϥ ⲛⲏⲓ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲡⲁⲓⲱⲧ ⲁⲛ ϯⲛⲁⲥⲟϥ ⲁⲛ.
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?”
12ⲡⲓⲙⲏϣ ⲟⲩⲛ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲡⲓⲭⲓⲗⲓⲁⲣⲭⲟⲥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲓϩⲩⲡⲏⲣⲉⲧⲏⲥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲓⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲁⲩ⳿ⲁⲙⲟⲛⲓ ⳿ⲛⲒⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲁⲩⲥⲟⲛϩϥ.
12So the detachment, the commanding officer, and the officers of the Jews seized Jesus and bound him,
13ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲩ⳿ⲉⲛϥ ⳿ⲛϣⲟⲣⲡ ϩⲁ ⲁⲛⲛⲁ ⲛⲉ ⳿ⲡϣⲟⲙ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲛⲕⲁⲓⲁⲫⲁ ⲫⲏ ⳿ⲉⲛⲁϥⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ϯⲣⲟⲙⲡⲓ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ.
13and led him to Annas first, for he was father-in-law to Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.

14Now it was Caiaphas who advised the Jews that it was expedient that one man should perish for the people.
15ⲛⲁϥⲙⲟϣⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲛⲥⲁ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲥⲓⲙⲱⲛ ⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲕⲉⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲡⲓⲙⲁⲑⲏ ⲧⲏⲥ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲛⲁϥⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛⲥⲟⲩⲓⲛ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ⲛⲉⲙ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⳿ⲉϯⲁⲩⲗⲏ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ.
15Simon Peter followed Jesus, as did another disciple. Now that disciple was known to the high priest, and entered in with Jesus into the court of the high priest;
16ⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ⲛⲁϥⲟϩⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲁⲧϥ ⲥⲁⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲁⲧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲣⲟ ⲁϥ⳿ⲓ ⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲡⲓⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲫⲏ ⳿ⲉⲛⲁϥⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛⲣⲉⲙⲥⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲁϥⲥⲁϫⲓ ⲛⲉⲙ ϯⲉⲙⲛⲟⲩⲧ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥ⳿ⲓⲛⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ.
16but Peter was standing at the door outside. So the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to her who kept the door, and brought in Peter.
17ⲡⲉϫⲉ ϯ⳿ⲁⲗⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲉⲙⲛⲟⲩⲧ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲙⲏ ⳿ⲛⲑⲟⲕ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲉⲛⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲓⲣⲱⲙⲓ ϩⲱⲕ ⳿ⲛⲑⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ.
17Then the maid who kept the door said to Peter, “Are you also one of this man’s disciples?” He said, “I am not.”
18ⲛⲁⲩⲟϩⲓ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉⲣⲁⲧⲟⲩ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲓ⳿ⲉⲃⲓⲁⲓⲕ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲓϩⲩⲡⲏⲣⲉⲧⲏⲥ ⳿ⲉⲁⲩϭⲉⲣⲟ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲣⲁⲕϩⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉ ⳿ⲧⲫⲣⲱ ⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲁⲩ⳿ⲧ⳿ϧⲙⲟ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⲡⲉ ⲛⲁϥⲟϩⲓ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉⲣⲁⲧϥ ⲛⲉⲙⲱⲟⲩ ϩⲱϥ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ⲉϥ⳿ⲧ⳿ϧⲙⲟ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ.
18Now the servants and the officers were standing there, having made a fire of coals, for it was cold. They were warming themselves. Peter was with them, standing and warming himself.

19The high priest therefore asked Jesus about his disciples and about his teaching.

20Jesus answered him, “I spoke openly to the world. I always taught in synagogues and in the temple, where the Jews always meet. I said nothing in secret.

21Why do you ask me? Ask those who have heard me what I said to them. Behold, they know the things which I said.”

22When he had said this, one of the officers standing by slapped Jesus with his hand, saying, “Do you answer the high priest like that?”

23Jesus answered him, “If I have spoken evil, testify of the evil; but if well, why do you beat me?”

24Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas, the high priest.

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.

28They led Jesus therefore from Caiaphas into the Praetorium. It was early, and they themselves didn’t enter into the Praetorium, that they might not be defiled, but might eat the Passover.

31Pilate therefore said to them, “Take him yourselves, and judge him according to your law.” Therefore the Jews said to him, “It is illegal for us to put anyone to death,”

37Pilate therefore said to him, “Are you a king then?” Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. For this reason I have been born, and for this reason I have come into the world, that I should testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to my voice.”
