John 18:1-11 - Jesus Is Betrayed And Arrested
1 When Jesus had said this, he went out with his disciples and crossed the brook Kedron to a place where there was a garden, into which he and his disciples went. 2 The place was well known to Judas, the betrayer, for Jesus and his disciples had often met there. 3 So Judas, who had obtained the soldiers of the Roman garrison, and some police-officers from the Chief Priests and the Pharisees, came there with lanterns, torches, and weapons.
4 Jesus, aware of all that was coming upon him, went to meet them, and said to them: "For whom are you looking?"
5 "Jesus of Nazareth," was their answer. "I am he," said Jesus. (Judas, the betrayer, was also standing with them.) 6 When Jesus said 'I am he,' they drew back and fell to the ground.
7 So he again asked for whom they were looking, and they answered: "Jesus of Nazareth."
8 "I have already told you that I am he," replied Jesus, "so, if it is for me that you are looking, let these men go." 9 This was in fulfillment of his words-- 'Of those whom thou hast given me I have not lost one.'
10 At this, Simon Peter, who had a sword with him, drew it, and struck the High Priest's servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus.
11 But Jesus said to Peter: "Sheathe your sword. Shall I not drink the cup which the Father has given me?"
