John 18:1-11 - Jesus Is Betrayed And Arrested
1 HAVING thus spoken, Jesus went out with his disciples beyond the brook Cedron, where was a garden, into which he went himself, and his disciples. 2 Now Judas also, who betrayed him, knew the place: for frequently had Jesus consorted with his disciples there. 3 Then Judas having taken a band of soldiers, and the inferior officers of the chief priests and Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns and torches and arms.
4 Jesus therefore, conscious of all things that were coming upon him, going forward, said to them, Whom are ye seeking?
5 They answered him, Jesus the Nazarean. Jesus saith unto them, I am he. Then stood also Judas, who betrayed him, with these men. 6 As he then spake to them, I am he, they retreated backward, and fell flat on the ground.
7 Again therefore he demanded of them, Whom seek ye? Then they said, Jesus the Nazarean.
8 Jesus answered, I told you that I am he: if therefore ye are seeking me, permit these to go away: 9 that the saying might be fulfilled, which he spake, That of those whom thou hast given me, I have not lost one of them.
10 Then Simon Peter having a sword, drew it, and struck a servant of the high-priest, and cut off his right ear. Now the servant's name was Malchas.
11 Then said Jesus to Peter, Put up thy sword into the scabbard: the cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?
