¹Yesu alipokwisha sema hayo, alikwenda ng'ambo ya kijito Kedroni, pamoja na wanafunzi wake. Mahali hapo palikuwa na bustani, naye Yesu akaingia humo pamoja na wanafunzi wake.

¹⁰Simoni Petro alikuwa na upanga; basi, akauchomoa, akamkata sikio la kulia mtumishi wa Kuhani Mkuu. Mtumishi huyo aliitwa Malko.

¹⁵Simoni Petro pamoja na mwanafunzi mwingine walimfuata Yesu. Huyo mwanafunzi mwingine alikuwa anajulikana kwa Kuhani Mkuu, hivyo aliingia pamoja na Yesu ndani ya ukumbi wa Kuhani Mkuu.
