Betrayal and Arrest of Jesus
1 When Jesus had spoken these words,
1he went out with his disciples across
2the Kidron Valley, where there was a garden, which he and his disciples entered.
2
Now Judas, who betrayed him, also knew
3the place, for
4Jesus often met there with his disciples.
3
5So Judas, having procured a band of soldiers and some officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, went there with lanterns and torches and weapons.
4
Then Jesus,
6knowing all that would happen to him, came forward and said to them,
7"Whom do you seek?"
5
They answered him, "Jesus of Nazareth." Jesus said to them,
"I am he." Judas, who betrayed him, was standing with them.
6
8When Jesus said to them,
"I am he," they drew back and fell to the ground.
7
So he asked them again,
9"Whom do you seek?" And they said, "Jesus of Nazareth."
8
Jesus answered,
"I told you that I am he. So, if you seek me, let these men go."
9
10This was to fulfill the word that he had spoken:
"Of those whom you gave me I have lost not one."
10
Then Simon Peter,
11having a sword, drew it and struck the high priest's servant and cut off his right ear. (The servant's name was Malchus.)
