o them: I am he; they went
backward and fell to the ground.

18:7. Again therefore he asked them: Whom seek ye? And they said: Jesus
of Nazareth.

18:8. Jesus answered: I have told you that I am he. If therefore you
seek me, let these go their way,

18:9. That the word might be fulfilled which he said: Of them whom thou
hast given me, I have not lost any one.

18:10. Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it and struck the servant
of the high priest and cut off his right ear. And the name of thee
servant was Malchus.

18:11. Jesus therefore said to Peter: Put up thy sword into the
scabbard. The chalice which my father hath given me, shall I not drink
it?

18:12. Then the band and the tribune and the servants of the Jews took
