2
Now Judas, who betrayed him, also knew the place; for Jesus often met there with his disciples.
3
So Judas, procuring 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, knowing all that was to befall him, came forward and said to them, "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
When he said to them, "I am he," they drew back and fell to the ground.
7
Again he asked them, "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
This was to fulfil the word which he had spoken, "Of those whom thou gavest me I lost not one."
10
Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it and struck the high priest's slave and cut off his right ear. The slave's name was Malchus.
11
Jesus said to Peter, "Put your sword into its sheath; shall I not drink the cup which the Father has given me?"
12
So the band of soldiers and their captain and the officers of the Jews seized Jesus and bound him.
