John 18:1-11 - Jesus Is Betrayed And Arrested

¹ After speaking these things, Jesus went forth with his disciples on the other side of the brook Kidron, where there was a garden into which he entered, he and his disciples. ² Now Judas, the man betraying him, had also known the place, because Jesus also often gathered there with his disciples. ³ Judas therefore having received the band and subordinates from the chief priests and the Pharisees, comes there with lanterns and torches and weapons.

⁴ Jesus therefore knowing all the things that were coming upon him, after going forth, he says to them, Whom seek ye?

⁵ They answered him, Jesus the Nazarene. Jesus says to them, I am he. And Judas, the man betraying him had also stood with them. ⁶ When therefore he said to them, I am he, they went backward and fell to the ground.

⁷ Again therefore he questioned them, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus the Nazarene.

⁸ Jesus answered, I told you that I am. If therefore ye seek me, allow these men to go, ⁹ so that the word that he spoke might be fulfilled, Of whom thou have given me, I lost, no, not one of them.

¹⁰ Simon Peter therefore, having a sword, drew it and struck the high priest's bondman, and cut off his right ear. Now the servant's name was Malchus.

¹¹ Jesus therefore said to Peter, Put up thy sword into the sheath. The cup that the Father has given me, shall I, no, not drink it?
