John 18:2-8

2Judas, who betrayed him, also knew the place, because Jesus often met there with his disciples.

3So Judas took a company of soldiers and some officials from the chief priests and the Pharisees and came there with lanterns, torches, and weapons.

4Then Jesus, knowing everything that was about to happen to him, went out and said to them, “Who is it that you’re seeking?”

5“Jesus of Nazareth,” they answered. “I am he,” Jesus told them. Judas, who betrayed him, was also standing with them.

6When Jesus told them, “I am he,” they stepped back and fell to the ground.

7Then he asked them again, “Who is it that you’re seeking?” “Jesus of Nazareth,” they said.

8“I told you I am he,” Jesus replied. “So if you’re looking for me, let these men go.”
