When Jesus had spoken these words, he went out with his disciples over the brook Kidron, where there was a garden, into which he and his disciples entered.

Now Judas, who betrayed him, also knew the place, for Jesus often met there with his disciples.

Judas then, having taken a detachment of soldiers and officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, came there with lanterns, torches, and weapons.
Jesus therefore, knowing all the things that were happening to him, went out and said to them, “Who are you looking for?”
5 ⲉ̅ ⲁⲩⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ̅ ⲛⲁϥ. ϫⲉ ⲉⲛϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲛⲁⲍⲱⲣⲁⲓⲟⲥ. ⲡⲉϫⲉⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲛⲁⲩ. ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ. ⲛⲉϥⲁϩⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲣⲁⲧϥ̅ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲇⲁⲥ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲡⲁⲣⲁⲇⲓⲇⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ.
They answered him, “Jesus of Nazareth.” Jesus said to them, “I am he.” Judas also, who betrayed him, was standing with them.
When therefore he said to them, “I am he,” they went backward and fell to the ground.
Again therefore he asked them, “Who are you looking for?” They said, “Jesus of Nazareth.”

Jesus answered, “I told you that I am he. If therefore you seek me, let these go their way,”
that the word might be fulfilled which he spoke, “Of those whom you have given me, I have lost none.”
10 ⲓ̅ ⲥⲓⲙⲱⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ⲉⲣⲉⲟⲩⲥⲏϥⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲟⲧϥ ⲁϥⲧⲟⲕⲙⲉⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲣⲉϩⲧⲡϩⲙ̅ϩⲁⲗ ⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲁϥⲥⲗⲡ̅ⲡⲉϥⲙⲁⲁϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲛⲁⲙ. ⲛⲉⲡⲣⲁⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡϩⲙ̅ϩⲁⲗ ⲡⲉ ⲙⲁⲗⲭⲟⲥ.
Simon Peter therefore, having a sword, drew it, struck the high priest’s servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant’s name was Malchus.
Jesus therefore said to Peter, “Put the sword into its sheath. The cup which the Father has given me, shall I not surely drink it?”
So the detachment, the commanding officer, and the officers of the Jews seized Jesus and bound him,
and led him to Annas first, for he was father-in-law to Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.
Now it was Caiaphas who advised the Jews that it was expedient that one man should perish for the people.
15 ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ ⲛⲉϥⲟⲩⲏϩ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲥⲓⲙⲱⲛ ⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ⲛⲙ̅ⲕⲉⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ. ⲡⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲧⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲛⲉⲣⲉⲡⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲃⲱⲕʾ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲧⲁⲩⲗⲏ ⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲛⲙ̅ⲓ̅ⲥ̅.
Simon Peter followed Jesus, as did another disciple. Now that disciple was known to the high priest, and entered in with Jesus into the court of the high priest;
16 ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ ⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉϥⲁϩⲉⲣⲁⲧϥ̅ ⲡⲉ ⲃ̅ⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲣⲙ̅ⲡⲣⲟ. ⲁϥⲉ͡ⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲡⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉⲡⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲙⲛⲟⲟⲧⲉ ⲁϥϫⲓⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ.
but Peter was standing at the door outside. So the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to her who kept the door, and brought in Peter.
17 ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ ⲧϩⲙ̅ϩⲁⲗ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲙ̅ⲛⲟⲟⲧⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ. ϫⲉ ⲙⲏ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲕ ϩⲱⲱⲕ ⲟⲛ ⲛ̅ⲧⲕ̅ⲟⲩⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲓ̈ⲣⲱⲙⲉ. ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲡⲏ. ϫⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲛ.
Then the maid who kept the door said to Peter, “Are you also one of this man’s disciples?” He said, “I am not.”
18 ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ ⲛⲉⲩⲁϩⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲣⲁⲧⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲛ̅ϩⲙ̅ϩⲁⲗ ⲛⲙ̅ⲛ̅ϩⲩⲡⲏⲣⲉⲧⲏⲥ ⲉⲁⲩϫⲉⲣⲉⲟⲩϣⲁϩ ⲉⲩⲑⲙ̅ⲟ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲣⲉⲡϫⲁϥ ⲃ̅ⲃⲟⲗ. ⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ϩⲱⲱϥ ⲟⲛ ⲛⲉϥⲁϩⲉⲣⲁⲧϥ̅ ⲉϥⲑⲙⲟ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ.
Now the servants and the officers were standing there, having made a fire of coals, for it was cold. They were warming themselves. Peter was with them, standing and warming himself.
The high priest therefore asked Jesus about his disciples and about his teaching.
20 ⲕ̅ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ̅ ⲛⲁϥ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲓ̅ⲥ̅. ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲓ̈ϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲡⲁⲣⲣⲏⲥⲓⲁ. ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲓ̈ϣ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲁⲓ̈ϯⲥⲃⲱ ϩⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲥⲩⲛⲁⲅⲱⲅⲏ ⲁⲩⲱ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲣⲡⲉ ⲡⲙⲁ ⲉϣⲁⲣⲉⲛ̅ⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ̈ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲥⲱⲟⲩϩ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧϥ̅. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙ̅ⲡⲓϫⲉⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ϣⲁϫⲉ ϩⲙ̅ⲡϩⲱⲡ.
Jesus answered him, “I spoke openly to the world. I always taught in synagogues and in the temple, where the Jews always meet. I said nothing in secret.
21 ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ ⲁϩⲣⲟⲕ ⲕϫⲛⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲓ̈ ⲙⲁϫⲛⲉⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩ ⲛⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲓ̈ϫⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲩ. ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲛⲉⲧⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲓ̈ϫⲟⲟⲩ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ
Why do you ask me? Ask those who have heard me what I said to them. Behold, they know the things which I said.”
22 ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲉϥϫⲟⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲁ ⲛⲛ̅ϩⲩⲡⲏⲣⲉⲧⲏⲥ ⲉϥⲁϩⲉⲣⲁⲧϥ̅ ⲁϥⲣⲉϩⲧ̅ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲁⲁⲥ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ. ϫⲉ ⲧⲁⲓ̈ ⲧⲉ ⲑⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ.
When he had said this, one of the officers standing by slapped Jesus with his hand, saying, “Do you answer the high priest like that?”
23 ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁϥ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲓ̅ⲥ̅. ϫⲉ ⲉϣϫⲉⲕⲁⲕⲱⲥ ⲁⲓ̈ϣⲁϫⲉ. ⲁⲣⲓⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲉ ϩⲁⲡⲁⲡⲉⲑⲟⲟⲩ. ⲉϣϫⲉⲕⲁⲗⲱⲥ ⲇⲉ. ⲁϩⲣⲟⲕ ⲕϩⲓⲟⲩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲉⲓ.
Jesus answered him, “If I have spoken evil, testify of the evil; but if well, why do you beat me?”
Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas, the high priest.

Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They said therefore to him, “You aren’t also one of his disciples, are you?” He denied it and said, “I am not.”
26 ⲕ̅ⲋ̅ ⲡⲉϫⲉⲟⲩⲁ ⲛⲁϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲛ̅ϩⲙ̅ϩⲁⲗ ⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲉⲩⲥⲩⲅⲅⲉⲛⲏⲥ ⲡⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ⲥⲗⲡ̅ⲡⲉϥⲙⲁⲁϫⲉ. ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲓ̈ⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲣⲟⲕ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲉϣⲛⲏ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁϥ.
One of the servants of the high priest, being a relative of him whose ear Peter had cut off, said, “Didn’t I see you in the garden with him?”
Peter therefore denied it again, and immediately the rooster crowed.

They led Jesus therefore from Caiaphas into the Praetorium. It was early, and they themselves didn’t enter into the Praetorium, that they might not be defiled, but might eat the Passover.

Pilate therefore went out to them and said, “What accusation do you bring against this man?”
They answered him, “If this man weren’t an evildoer, we wouldn’t have delivered him up to you.”

Pilate therefore said to them, “Take him yourselves, and judge him according to your law.” Therefore the Jews said to him, “It is illegal for us to put anyone to death,”
that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spoke, signifying by what kind of death he should die.

Pilate therefore entered again into the Praetorium, called Jesus, and said to him, “Are you the King of the Jews?”
Jesus answered him, “Do you say this by yourself, or did others tell you about me?”

Pilate answered, “I’m not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests delivered you to me. What have you done?”

Jesus answered, “My Kingdom is not of this world. If my Kingdom were of this world, then my servants would fight, that I wouldn’t be delivered to the Jews. But now my Kingdom is not from here.”

Pilate therefore said to him, “Are you a king then?” Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. For this reason I have been born, and for this reason I have come into the world, that I should testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to my voice.”

Pilate said to him, “What is truth?” When he had said this, he went out again to the Jews, and said to them, “I find no basis for a charge against him.

But you have a custom that I should release someone to you at the Passover. Therefore, do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?”
Then they all shouted again, saying, “Not this man, but Barabbas!” Now Barabbas was a robber.
