5. They answered him, “Jesus the Nazorean.” He said to them, “I AM.” Judas his betrayer was also with them.
6. When he said to them, “I AM,” they turned away and fell to the ground.
7. So he again asked them, “Whom are you looking for?” They said, “Jesus the Nazorean.”
8. Jesus answered, “I told you that I AM. So if you are looking for me, let these men go.”
9. This was to fulfill what he had said, “I have not lost any of those you gave me.”
10. Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it, struck the high priest’s slave, and cut off his right ear. The slave’s name was Malchus.
11. Jesus said to Peter, “Put your sword into its scabbard. Shall I not drink the cup that the Father gave me?”
12. So the band of soldiers, the tribune, and the Jewish guards seized Jesus, bound him,
13. and brought him to Annas first. He was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.
14. It was Caiaphas who had counseled the Jews that it was better that one man should die rather than the people.
15. Simon Peter and another disciple followed Jesus. Now the other disciple was known to the high priest, and he entered the courtyard of the high priest with Jesus.
16. But Peter stood at the gate outside. So the other disciple, the acquaintance of the high priest, went out and spoke to the gatekeeper and brought Peter in.
