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

¹ Having spoken these things, Jesus went forth with His disciples beyond the winter-brook Kidron, where was a garden, into which He entered Himself and His disciples. ² And Judas also, who betrayed Him, knew the place; because Jesus ofttimes resorted thither with His disciples. ³ Judas, therefore, having received the band of soldiers and officers from the high priests and the Pharisees, comes thither with lanterns, and torches, and weapons.

⁴ Jesus, therefore, knowing all things that were coming upon Him, went forth, and saith to them, "Whom seek ye?"

⁵ They answered Him, "Jesus, the Nazarene." Jesus saith to them, "I am He." And Judas also, who betrayed Him, was standing with them. ⁶ When, therefore, He said to them, "I am He," they went backward, and fell to the ground.

⁷ Again, therefore, He asked them, "Whom seek ye?" And they said, "Jesus, the Nazarene."

⁸ Jesus answered, "I told you that I am He; if, therefore, ye are seeking Me, permit these to go their way;" ⁹ that the word might be fulfilled, which He spake, "Of those whom Thou hast given Me, I lost none."

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

¹¹ Jesus, therefore, said to Peter, "Put up the sword into the sheathe. The cup which the Father hath given Me, shall I not drink it?"
