The Betrayal of Jesus
(Matthew 26:47–56; Mark 14:43–52; Luke 22:47–53)

1Jesus saying these things, went out with His disciples beyond the brook of Kidron, where there was a garden, into which He and His disciples came. 2And Judas, the one having betrayed Him; knew the place: because frequently Jesus with His disciples resorted thither. 3Then Judas, having taken a band and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, comes thither with lanterns and torches and arms. 4Then Jesus, knowing all things which are coming on Him, came out, says to them, Whom do you seek? 5They responded to Him, Jesus the Nazarene. Jesus says to them, I am He. And Judas also, the one having betrayed Him, stood with them. 6Then when He said to them, I am He, they went back, and fell on the ground. 7Then He again asked them, Whom do you seek? And they said, Jesus the Nazarene. 8Jesus responded, I told you that I am He: if then you seek me, let these depart. 9In order that the word which He spoke might be fulfilled, that, I have lost none of those whom thou hast given unto me. 10Then Simon Peter having a sword drew it, and smote the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear. And the name to that servant was Malchus. 11Then Jesus said to Peter, Put thy sword in the scabbard: the cup which the Father gave me, shall I not drink it?

12Then the band and chiliarch, and the officers of the Jews, took Jesus and bound Him. 13And they led Him first to Annas; for he was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was high priest that year. 14And Caiaphas was the one counseling the Jews, that it is profitable that one man die for the people.

Peter’s First Denial
(Matthew 26:69–70; Mark 14:66–68; Luke 22:54–57)

15And Simon Peter and the other disciples followed Jesus. And that disciple was known to the high priest, and came with Jesus into the court of the high priest. 16And Peter stood without at the door. Then the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, came out and spoke to the porter, and led in Peter. 17And then the maidservant porter says to Peter, Art thou not one of the disciples of this man? He says, I am not. 18And the servants and officers, having made a fire; because it was cold; were standing by it, and warming. And Peter was standing with them, and warming.

Jesus before the High Priest
(Matthew 26:57–68; Mark 14:53–65; Luke 22:66–71)

19Then the high priest asked Jesus concerning His disciples and concerning His teaching. 20And Jesus said to him, I have spoken openly to the world. I always taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, where all the Jews come together; and I spoke nothing in secret. 21Why do you ask me? ask those who have heard, what I said to them: behold, they know what I said. 22And He speaking these things, one of the officers standing by gave Jesus a slap, saying, Do you thus answer the high priest? 23Jesus responded to him, If I spoke wickedly, witness concerning the wickedness: but if beautifully, why do you smite me? 24Then Annas sent Him bound to Caiaphas the high priest.

Peter’s Second and Third Denials
(Matthew 26:71–75; Mark 14:69–72; Luke 22:58–62)

25And Simon Peter was standing and warming: and they said to him, Art thou not one of His disciples? He denied, and said, I am not. 26And one of the servants of the chief priest, being a kinsman of him whose ear Peter cut off, says, Did I not see thee in the garden with Him? 27Then Peter again denied, and immediately the cock crew.

Jesus before Pilate
(Matthew 27:11–14; Luke 23:1–5)

28Then they lead Jesus from Caiaphas to the judgment hall: and it was morning. And they did not come into the judgment hall, in order that they might not be polluted, but that they might eat the passover. 29Then Pilate came out to them, and says, What accusation do you bring against this man? 30They responded and said to him, If He were not an evil doer, we would not deliver Him to you. 31Then Pilate said to them. You take Him, and judge Him according to your law. Then the Jews said to him, It is not lawful for us to kill any one. 32In order that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled, which He spoke, signifying by what death He was about to die.

33Then Pilate came again into the judgment hall, and asked Jesus, and said to Him, Art thou the King of the Jews? 34Jesus responded, Do you speak this of yourself, or did others tell you concerning me? 35Pilate responded, Whether am I a Jew? thine own nation and the chief priests delivered thee to me: what hast thou done? 36Jesus responded, My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would fight for me, in order that I might not be delivered to the Jews. But now my kingdom is not from thence. 37Then Pilate said to Him, Then, art thou not a king? Jesus responded, Thou says that I am king. Unto this I was born, and unto this I have come into the world, in order that I may bear witness to the truth. Every one being of the truth hears my voice. 38Pilate says to Him, What is truth? And saying this, again he went out to the Jews, and speaks to them, I find no crime in Him. 39There is a custom to you, that I release unto you one during the passover. Then do you wish that I may release unto you the King of the Jews? 40Then they all again cried out, saying, Not Him, but Barabbas. And Barabbas was a robber.
