John 18:1-12

Jesus Betrayed and Arrested

When Jesus had spoken these words, ^aHe went forth with His disciples to the other side of ^bthe Kidron Valley, where there was ^ca garden, into which He entered ¹with His disciples. 2 Now Judas also, who was ¹betraying Him, knew the place, for Jesus had ^aoften gathered there with His disciples. 3 ^aJudas then, having received ^bthe Roman ¹cohort and ^cofficers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, *came there with lanterns and ^dtorches and weapons. 4 So Jesus, ^aknowing all the things that were coming upon Him, went forth and *said to them, “^bWhom 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, “^aWhom 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 in order that the word which He spoke would be fulfilled, “^aOf those whom You have given Me, I lost not one.” 10 Simon Peter then, ^ahaving 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; ^athe cup which the Father has given Me, shall I not drink it?”
