John 18:9-16 Good News Bible Anglicised (GNBDC)

9. (He said this so that what he had said might come true: “Father, I have not lost even one of those you gave me.”)

10. Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it and struck the High Priest's slave, cutting off his right ear. The name of the slave was Malchus.

11. Jesus said to Peter, “Put your sword back in its place! Do you think that I will not drink the cup of suffering which my Father has given me?”

12. Then the Roman soldiers with their commanding officer and the Jewish guards arrested Jesus, bound him,

13. and took him first to Annas. He was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was High Priest that year.

14. It was Caiaphas who had advised the Jewish authorities that it was better that one man should die for all the people.

15. Simon Peter and another disciple followed Jesus. That other disciple was well known to the High Priest, so he went with Jesus into the courtyard of the High Priest's house,

16. while Peter stayed outside by the gate. Then the other disciple went back out, spoke to the girl at the gate, and brought Peter inside.
