Jesus unto Peter,
Put up thy sword into the sheath: the cup which my Father hath given me, shall
I not drink it?
12
Then the band and the captain and officers of the Jews took Jesus, and bound him,
13
And led him away to Annas first; for he was father in law to Caiaphas, which was the high priest
that same year.
14
Now Caiaphas was he, which gave counsel to the Jews, that it was expedient that
one man should die for the people.
15
And 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.
16
But 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.
17
Then saith the damsel that kept the door unto
Peter, Art not thou also
one
of this man’s disciples? He saith, I am not.
18
And 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.
19
The high priest then asked Jesus of his disciples, and of his doctrine.
20
Jesus 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.
21
Why askest thou me? ask them which heard
me, what I have said unto them: behold, they know what I said.
22
And 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?
23
Jesus answered him,
If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil: but if well,
why smitest thou me?
24
Now Annas had sent him bound unto Caiaphas the high priest.
25
And
Simon Peter stood and warmed himself. They said therefore unto him, Art not thou also
one
of his
disciples? He denied
it,
and said, I am not.
26
One of the servants of the high priest, being
his
kinsman whose ear Peter cut off, saith, Did not I see thee in the garden with him?
27
Peter then
denied again: and immediately the cock crew.
28
Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas unto the hall of judgment: and it was early; and they
themselves went not into the judgment hall, lest they should be defiled; but that they might eat the
passover.
29
Pilate then went out unto them, and said, What accusation bring ye against this man?
30
They answered and said unto him, If he were not a malefactor, we would not have delivered him
up unto thee.
31
Then said Pilate unto them, Take ye him, and judge him according to your law.
The Jews therefore said unto him, It is not lawful for us to put any man to death:
32
That the saying
of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spake, signifying what death he should die.
33
Then Pilate
entered into the judgment hall again, and called Jesus, and said unto him, Art thou the King of the
Jews?
34
Jesus answered him,
Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or did others tell it thee of me?
35
Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thine own nation and the chief priests have delivered thee unto
me: what hast thou done?
36
Jesus answered,
My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were
of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is
my kingdom not from hence.
37
Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered,
Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that
I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.
38
Pilate saith
