Then Jesus was arrested by a detachment of soldiers guided by Judas the traitor. Peter reacted violently cutting off the high priest servant Malchus's ear, but Jesus told him to put his sword away. Then Peter made his first denial of being a disciple of Jesus. Meanwhile the high priest questioned Jesus and an official struck Jesus in the face when he didn't like an answer Jesus gave. Then Peter denied Jesus twice further and then the cock began to crow. Then the Jews led Jesus bound to the Roman Governor Pilate who asked if he was the king of the Jews and what he had done? Jesus said his kingdom was not of this world... I am a king born for this purpose and I came into this world to testify to the truth. Then Pilate said he found no basis for charges against Jesus, but in accordance with custom Pilate offered them the choice of releasing the criminal Barabbas or the king of the Jews Jesus and they chose Barabbas.
