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

¹ When Jesus had spoken these words, he pass'd with his disciples over the brook Cedron, where was a garden, into which he entred with them. ² now Judas, who was to betray him, knew the place: for Jesus and his disciples had frequently assembled there. ³ Judas then having got a company of soldiers, and officers, by order of the chief priests and Pharisees, came thither with lanterns, torches, and with arms.

⁴ but Jesus who knew every thing that should happen to him, advanc'd, and said to them, who do you look for?

⁵ they answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. I am he, said Jesus. and Judas who was to betray him, was also with them. ⁶ upon Jesus his saying to them, I am he, they fell backward to the ground.

⁷ then he asked them again, who do you look for? and they said, Jesus of Nazareth.

⁸ Jesus answered, I have told you that I am he. "if therefore it is me you look for, let these go their way." ⁹ so that what he said was accomplished, "of those which thou gavest me, have I lost none."

¹⁰ but Simon Peter drew his sword, and struck off the right ear of Malchus, a servant belonging to the high priest.

¹¹ then said Jesus to Peter, sheath thy sword: the cup which my father hath given me, shall I not drink it?
