[unspec A] 1 WHen Iesus had spoken these wordes, * 1.1 he went forth with his disciples ouer the brooke Ce∣dron, where was a gar∣den, into the whiche he entred, & his disciples.
2 Iudas also whiche betrayed hym, knewe the place? For Iesus oft tymes resorted thyther, with his disciples.
3 Iudas then, after he had receaued a bande of men, and officers of the hye priestes & pharisees, came thyther with lanternes, and torches, and weapons.
4 And Iesus, knowing all thinges that shoulde come on hym, went foorth, and sayde vnto them, whom seke ye?
5 They aunswered him: Iesus of Na∣zareth. Iesus sayth vnto them, I am he. Iudas also whiche betrayed hym, stoode with them.
[unspec B] 6 Assoone then as he sayde vnto them I am he, they went backewarde, & fell to the grounde.
7 Then as••ed he them agayne, whom seke ye? They said: Iesus of Nazareth.
8 Iesus aunswered, I haue tolde you that I am he: Yf ye seke me therefore, let (a) 1.2 these go their way.
9 That the saying myght be fulfylled which he spake: * 1.3 Of them which thou gauest me, haue I not lost one.
10 Then Simon Peter, hauing a sword, drewe it, and smote the hye priestes ser∣uaunt, and cut of his ryght eare. The seruauntes name was Malchus.
11 Therefore sayth Iesus vnto Peter, * 1.4Put vp thy sworde into the sheathe: shall I not drynke of the cuppe whiche my father hath geuen me?
12 Then the companie, and the capitaine, and officers of the Iewes, toke Iesus, and bounde hym,
13 And led hym away to Annas first, (for he was father in lawe vnto Caiaphas,) which was ye hye priest that same yere: [And Annas sent Christe bounde vnto Caia∣phas the hye priest.]
14 * 1.5Caiaphas was he which gaue coun∣cell to the Iewes, that it was expediēt that one man should dye for the people.
15 * 1.6And Simon Peter folowed Iesus, [unspec C] and so did another (b) 1.7 disciple. That dis∣ciple was knowen vnto the hye priest, & went in with Iesus into the palace of the hye priest.
16 But Peter stoode at the doore with∣out. Then went out that other disciple which was knowen vnto the hye priest, and spake vnto the damosell that kept the doore, and brought in Peter.
17 Then saide the damosell, that kept the doore, vnto Peter: Art not thou also one of this mans disciples? He sayde, I am not.
18 The seruauntes and officers stoode there, which had made a fire of coales, (for it was colde) and they warmed thē selues. Peter also stoode among them, and warmed hym.
19 * 1.8The hye priest then asked Iesus of [unspec D] his disciples, and of his doctrine.
