1
When Jesus had spoken these things, he went forth with his disciples over the brook Cedron, where there was a garden, into which he entered, and his disciples.
2
And Judas also, who betrayed him, knew the place: for Jesus gathered there often with his disciples.
3
Judas then, taking a company of soldiers and ministers of the high priests and of the Pharisees, came there with lanterns and torches and weapons.
4
Jesus therefore, knowing all the things that should come upon him, went forth, and said unto them, Whom seek ye?
5
They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus said unto them, I AM. And Judas also, who betrayed him, stood with them.
6
And when he said unto them, I AM, they went backward and fell to the ground.
7
Then he asked them again, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth.
8
Jesus answered, I have told you that I AM; if, therefore, ye seek me, let these go away,
9
that the word might be fulfilled, which he spoke, Of those whom thou gavest me I have lost none.

Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it and smote the high priest’s slave and cut off his right ear. The slave’s name was Malchus.
