Jesus saith unto them, I am he. And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with them.\n \n6\u00a0As soon then as he had said unto them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground.\n \n7\u00a0Then asked he them again, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth.\n \n8\u00a0Jesus answered, I have told you that I am he: if therefore ye seek me, let these go their way:\n \n9\u00a0That the saying might be fulfilled, which he spake, Of them which thou gavest me have I lost none.\n \n10\u00a0Then Simon Peter having a sword drew it, and smote the high priest's servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus.\n \n11\u00a0Then said Jesus unto Peter, Put up thy sword into the sheath: the cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?\n \n12\u00a0Then the band and the captain and officers of the Jews took Jesus, and bound him,\n \n13\u00a0And led him away to Annas first; for he was father in law to Caiaphas, which was the high priest that same year.\n \n14\u00a0Now Caiaphas was he, which gave counsel to the Jews, that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.\n \n15\u00a0And 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.\n \n16\u00a0But 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.\n \n17\u00a0Then saith the damsel that kept the door unto Peter, Art not thou also one of this man's disciples? He saith, I am not.\n \n18\u00a0And 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.\n \n19\u00a0The high priest then asked Jesus of his disciples, and of his doctrine.\n \n20\u00a0Jesus 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.\n \n21\u00a0Why askest thou me? ask them which heard me, what I have said unto them: behold, they know what I said.\n \n22\u00a0And 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?\n \n23\u00a0Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil: but if well, why smitest thou me?\n \n24\u00a0Now Annas had sent him bound unto Caiaphas the high priest.\n \n25\u00a0And 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.\n \n26\u00a0One 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?\n \n27\u00a0Peter then denied again: and immediately the cock crew.\n \n28\u00a0Then 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.\n \n29\u00a0Pilate then went out unto them, and said, What accusation bring ye against this man?\n \n30\u00a0They answered and said unto him, If he were not a malefactor, we would not have delivered him up unto thee.\n \n31\u00a0Then 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:\n \n32\u00a0That the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spake, signifying what death he should die.\n \n33\u00a0Then Pilate entered into the judgment hall again, and called Jesus, and said unto him, Art thou the King of the Jews?\n \n34\u00a0Jesus answered him, Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or did others tell it thee of me?\n \n35\u00a0Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thine own nation and the chief priests have delivered thee unto me: what hast thou done?\n \n36\u00a0Jesus 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.\n \n37\u00a0Pilate 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.\n \n38\u00a0Pilate saith unto him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them, I find in him no fault at all.\n \n39\u00a0But ye have a custom, that I should release unto you one at the passover: will ye therefore that I release unto you the King of the Jews?\n \n40\u00a0Then cried they all again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.","title":"King James Version: John: John Chapter 18","type":"page"}
