Jesus Arrested
1 When he had finished praying, Jesus left with his disciples and crossed the Kidron Valley. On the other side there was a garden, and he and his disciples went into it.
2
Now Judas, who betrayed him, knew the place, because Jesus had often met there with his disciples.
3
So Judas came to the garden, guiding a detachment of soldiers and some officials from the chief priests and the Pharisees. They were carrying torches, lanterns and weapons.
4
Jesus, knowing all that was going to happen to him, went out and asked them, “Who is it you want?”
5
“Jesus of Nazareth,” they replied. “I am he,” Jesus said. (And Judas the traitor was standing there with them.)
6
When Jesus said, “I am he,” they drew back and fell to the ground.
7
Again he asked them, “Who is it you want?”“Jesus of Nazareth,” they said.
8
Jesus answered, “I told you that I am he. If you are looking for me, then let these men go.”
9
This happened so that the words he had spoken would be fulfilled: “I have not lost one of those you gave me.”[a]
10
Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it and struck the high priest’s servant, cutting off his right ear. (The servant’s name was Malchus.)
11
Jesus commanded Peter, “Put your sword away! Shall I not drink the cup the Father has given me?”
12
Then the detachment of soldiers with its commander and the Jewish officials arrested Jesus. They bound him
