John 18:1-11 (New Living Translation)
View In My Bible
1
After saying these things, Jesus crossed the Kidron Valley with his disciples and entered a grove of olive trees.
2
Judas, the betrayer, knew this place, because Jesus had gone there many times with his disciples.
3
The leading priests and Pharisees had given Judas a battalion of Roman soldiers and Temple guards to accompany him. Now with blazing torches, lanterns, and weapons, they arrived at the olive grove.
4
Jesus fully realized all that was going to happen to him. Stepping forward to meet them, he asked, "Whom are you looking for?"
5
"Jesus of Nazareth," they replied. "I am he," a Jesus said. Judas was standing there with them when Jesus identified himself.
6
And as he said, "I am he," they all fell backward to the ground!
7
Once more he asked them, "Whom are you searching for?" And again they replied, "Jesus of Nazareth."
8
"I told you that I am he," Jesus said. "And since I am the one you want, let these others go."
9
He did this to fulfill his own statement: "I have not lost a single one of those you gave me." b
10
Then Simon Peter drew a sword and slashed off the right ear of Malchus, the high priest's servant.
11
But Jesus said to Peter, "Put your sword back into its sheath. Shall I not drink from the cup the Father has given me?"
