John 18:2-8

2Now Judas, who was 1betraying Him, also knew the place, because Jesus had 2often met there with His disciples.

33So Judas, having obtained 4the Roman 5cohort and 6officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, came there with lanterns, 7torches, and weapons.

4Jesus therefore, 8knowing all the things that were coming upon Him, came out into the open and said to them, “9Whom 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, “10Whom 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.”
