John 18:1-11

Judas Betrays Jesus

1 When Jesus had spoken these words, ¹He went forth with His disciples over ²the ravine of the Kidron, where there was ³a garden, in which He entered with His disciples.

2 Now Judas also, who was betraying Him, knew the place, for Jesus had ⁴often met there with His disciples.

3 ⁵Judas then, having received ⁶the Roman cohort and ⁷officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, came there with lanterns and ⁸torches and weapons.

4 So Jesus, ⁹knowing all the things that were coming upon Him, went forth and said to them, "¹⁰Whom do you seek?"

5 They answered Him, "Jesus the Nazarene." He said to them, "I am He." And Judas also, who was betraying Him, was standing with them.

6 So when He said to them, "I am He," they drew back and fell to the ground.

7 Therefore He again asked them, "¹¹Whom do you seek?" And they said, "Jesus the Nazarene."

8 Jesus answered, "I told you that I am He; so if you seek Me, let these go their way,"

9 to fulfill the word which He spoke, "¹²Of those whom You have given Me I lost not one."

10 Simon Peter then, ¹³having a sword, drew it and struck the high priest's slave, and cut off his right ear; and the slave's name was Malchus.

11 So Jesus said to Peter, "Put the sword into the sheath; ¹⁴the cup which the Father has given Me, shall I not drink it?"
