<t /><p class="bodytext">When he had said these things,<n id="1" /> Jesus went out with his disciples across the Kidron Valley.<n id="2" /> There was an orchard<n id="3" /> there, and he and his disciples went into it.

<p class="bodytext">Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, pulled it out and struck the high priest&#8217;s slave,<n id="1" /> cutting off his right ear.<n id="2" /> (Now the slave&#8217;s name was Malchus.)<n id="3" />

<t /><p class="bodytext">Simon Peter and another disciple followed them as they brought Jesus to Annas.<n id="1" /> (Now the other disciple<n id="2" /> was acquainted with the high priest, and he went with Jesus into the high priest&#8217;s courtyard.)<n id="3" />

<t /><p class="bodytext">Meanwhile Simon Peter was standing in the courtyard<n id="1" /> warming himself. They said to him, &#8220;You aren&#8217;t one of his disciples too, are you?&#8221;<n id="2" /> Peter<n id="3" /> denied it: &#8220;I am not!&#8221;

<t /><p class="bodytext">Then they brought Jesus from Caiaphas to the Roman governor&#8217;s residence.<n id="1" /> (Now it was very early morning.)<n id="2" /> They<n id="3" /> did not go into the governor&#8217;s residence<n id="4" /> so they would not be ceremonially defiled, but could eat the Passover meal.

Jesus replied, &#8220;You would have no authority<n id="1" /> over me at all, unless it was given to you from above. Therefore the one who handed me over to you<n id="2" /> is guilty of greater sin.&#8221;<n id="3" />p>

<p class="bodytext">Now when the soldiers crucified<n id="1" /> Jesus, they took his clothes and made four shares, one for each soldier,<n id="2" /> and the tunic<n id="3" /> remained. (Now the tunic<n id="4" /> was seamless, woven from top to bottom as a single piece.)<n id="5" />

<p class="bodytext">The next day the crowd that remained on the other side of the lake<n id="1" /> realized that only one small boat<n id="2" /> had been there, and that Jesus had not boarded<n id="3" /> it with his disciples, but that his disciples had gone away alone.

You people<n id="1" /> are from<n id="2" /> your father the devil, and you want to do what your father desires.<n id="3" /> He<n id="4" /> was a murderer from the beginning, and does not uphold the truth,<n id="5" /> because there is no truth in him. Whenever he lies,<n id="6" /> he speaks according to his own nature,<n id="7" /> because he is a liar and the father of lies.<n id="8" />

<p class="bodytext">Then some of the Pharisees began to say,<n id="1" /> &#8220;This man is not from God, because he does not observe<n id="2" /> the Sabbath.&#8221;<n id="3" /> But others said, &#8220;How can a man who is a sinner perform<n id="4" /> such miraculous signs?&#8221; Thus there was a division<n id="5" /> among them.

<p class="bodytext">Jesus replied, &#8220;My kingdom is not from this world. If my kingdom were from this world, my servants would be fighting to keep me from being<n id="1" /> handed over<n id="2" /> to the Jewish authorities.<n id="3" /> But as it is,<n id="4" /> my kingdom is not from here.&#8221;

<p class="bodytext">Then the disciple whom<n id="1" /> Jesus loved<n id="2" /> said to Peter, &#8220;It is the Lord!&#8221; So Simon Peter, when he heard that it was the Lord, tucked in his outer garment (for he had nothing on underneath it),<n id="3" /> and plunged<n id="4" /> into the sea.
