John 18:1-11 - Jesus Is Betrayed And Arrested
1 When Jesus finished his prayer he and his disciples crossed the Kedron winter stream to a garden. 2 Judas, who betrayed him, knew the place because Jesus went there frequently with his disciples. 3 Judas brought a band of armed men and police from the chief priests and Pharisees there with lights and with weapons.
4 Jesus knew what was about to happen to him. He asked: Whom do you seek?
5 They answered him: Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus replied: I am he. Judas the betrayer was with them. 6 When he said to them I am he they drew back and fell to the ground.
7 Again he asked: Whom do you seek? And they said: Jesus of Nazareth.
8 Jesus answered: I told you that I am he. If you seek me let these go their way. 9 That way the word he spoke might be fulfilled; 'I lost none of those you gave me.'
10 Simon Peter drew the sword he had, struck the high priest's servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus.
11 Jesus said to Peter: Put the sword in the sheath. Shall I drink the cup the Father has given me?
