John 18:1-9

1When Jesus had spoken these words, 1He went away with His disciples across 2the 3ravine of the Kidron, where there was 4a garden which He entered 5with His disciples.

2Now Judas, who was 6betraying Him, also knew the place, because Jesus had 7often met there with His disciples.

38So Judas, having obtained 9the Roman 10cohort and 11officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, came there with lanterns, 12torches, and weapons.

4Jesus therefore, 13knowing all the things that were coming upon Him, came out into the open and said to them, “14Whom are you seeking?”

5They answered Him, “Jesus the Nazarene.” He said to them, “I am He.” And Judas also, who was betraying Him, was standing with them.

6Now then, when He said to them, “I am He,” they drew back and fell to the ground.

7He then asked them again, “15Whom are you seeking?” And they said, “Jesus the Nazarene.”

8Jesus answered, “I told you that I am He; so if you are seeking Me, let these men go on their way.”

9This took place so that the word which He spoke would be fulfilled: “16Of those whom You have given Me I lost not one.”
