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

¹ Having said these things, Jesus, went out, with his disciples, across the winter-torrent of the Kedron, where was a garden, - into which he entered, he, and his disciples. ² Now, Judas also, who was delivering him up, knew the place: because, oft, had Jesus been gathered there, with his disciples. ³ Judas, therefore, receiving the band, and officers, from among the High-priests and from amongthe Pharisees, cometh thither, with lights and torches and weapons.

⁴ Jesus, therefore, knowing all the things coming upon him, went forth, and saith unto them - Whom, seek ye?

⁵ They answered him - Jesus, the Nazarene. He saith unto them - I, am he. Now Judas also, who was delivering him up, was standing with them. ⁶ When, therefore, he said unto them, I, am he, they went backwards, 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, I, am he. If, then, ye seek me, let these go their way: - ⁹ that the word might be fulfilled which he had said - As touching them whom thou hast given me, I lost from among them, not so much as one.

¹⁰ Simon Peter, therefore, having a sword, drew it, and smote the High-priest's servant, and cut off his right ear. Now the name of the servant was Malchus.

¹¹ Jesus, therefore, said unto Peter - Thrust the sword into its sheath: - The cup which the Father hath given me, shall I in anywise not drink it?
