John 18

1 Ref When Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with his disciples over the brook Kidron, where was a garden, into which he entered, himself and his disciples.

2 Ref Now Judas also, who betrayed him, knew the place: for Jesus oft-times resorted thither with his disciples.

3 Ref Judas then, having received the band `of soldiers', and officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns and torches and weapons.

4 Ref Jesus therefore, knowing all the things that were coming upon him, went forth, and saith unto them, Whom seek ye?

5 Ref They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, I am `he'. And Judas also, who betrayed him, was standing with them.

6 Ref When therefore he said unto them, I am `he', they went backward, and fell to the ground.

7 Ref Again therefore he asked them, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth.

8 Ref Jesus answered, I told you that I am `he'; if therefore ye seek me, let these go their way:

9 Ref that the word might be fulfilled which he spake, Of those whom thou hast given me I lost not one.

10 Ref Simon Peter therefore having a sword drew it, and struck the high priest's servant, and cut off his right ear. Now the servant's name was Malchus.

11 Ref Jesus therefore said unto Peter, Put up the sword into the sheath: the cup which the Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?
