8 Jesus answered: “I informed you that I’m.” In case you’re in search of me, then let these folks go. 9 This occurred to meet the phrases that he spoke: I’ve not misplaced a single a type of whom you may have given me.[a]
10 Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it and struck the servant of the excessive priest and reduce off his proper ear. (The servant’s identify was Malchus.)
11 Jesus commanded Peter: Put away your sword! Shall I not drink the cup that the Father has given me?

15 Simon Peter and one other disciple adopted Jesus. Since that disciple was recognized to the excessive priest, he entered the excessive priest’s courtyard with Jesus, 16 however Peter needed to wait outdoors on the door. One other disciple, who was recognized to the excessive priest, returned, spoke to the servant who was on responsibility there, and introduced Peter.
17 And you aren’t considered one of his disciples, are you? she requested Peter.

26 One of many servants of the excessive priest, a relative of the person whose ear Peter reduce off, requested him: “Did not I see you with him within the backyard?” 27 Peter once more denied and at that second the rooster crowed.
28 Then the Jewish leaders took Jesus from Caiaphas to the palace of the Roman governor. It was already early morning, and to be able to keep away from ritual impurity, they didn’t enter the palace, as a result of they wished to have the ability to eat the Passover. 29 Pilate went out to them and requested: What do you accuse this man of?
30 If he wasn’t a legal, they answered, we would not hand him over to you.
31 Pilate mentioned: “You’re taking him and decide him based on your regulation.”
However we have now no proper to execute anybody, they objected. 32 This occurred to meet what Jesus had mentioned concerning the form of loss of life he would die.

2 The troopers wove a crown of thorns and put it on his head. They dressed him in a purple gown
3 they usually approached him many times saying: Hail, King of the Jews! And so they hit him within the face.
4 Pilate went out once more and mentioned to the Jews gathered there: “Look, I’m bringing him out to you in order that that I can not accuse him.”

22 Pilate answered: “What I wrote, I wrote.”
