Jesus, knowing by now everything that was coming down on him, went out and met them. He said, "Who are you after?" They answered, "Jesus the Nazarene."

Then Jesus, knowing everything that was about to happen to Him, went out and said to them, "Who is it you're looking for?"
John 18:4 In-Context
2
Now Judas, who betrayed him, knew the place, because Jesus had often met there with his disciples.
3
So Judas came to the garden, guiding a detachment of soldiers and some officials from the chief priests and the Pharisees. They were carrying torches, lanterns and weapons.
4
Jesus, knowing all that was going to happen to him, went out and asked them, “Who is it you want?”
5
“Jesus of Nazareth,” they replied. “I am he,” Jesus said. (And Judas the traitor was standing there with them.)
6
When Jesus said, “I am he,” they drew back and fell to the ground.
