[18:1] When Jesus had spoken these words, he went out with his disciples across the brook Kidron, where there was a garden, which he and his disciples entered.
[18:2] Now Judas, who betrayed him, also knew the place, for Jesus often met there with his disciples.
[18:3] So Judas, having procured a band of soldiers and some officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, went there with lanterns and torches and weapons.
[18:4] Then Jesus, knowing all that would happen to him, came forward and said to them, “Whom do you seek?”
[18:5] They answered him, “Jesus of Nazareth.” Jesus said to them, “I am he.” Judas, who betrayed him, was standing with them.
[18:6] When Jesus said to them, “I am he,” they drew back and fell to the ground.
[18:7] So he asked them again, “Whom do you seek?” And they said, “Jesus of Nazareth.”
[18:8] Jesus answered, “I told you that I am he. So, if you seek me, let these men go.”
[18:9] This was to fulfill the word that he had spoken: “Of those whom you gave me I have lost not one.”
[18:10] Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it and struck the high priest’s servant and cut off his right ear. (The servant’s name was Malchus.)
[18:11] So Jesus said to Peter, “Put your sword into its sheath; shall I not drink the cup that the Father has given me?”
