Jesus Betrayed and Arrested

18 When Jesus had spoken these words, ^(A)He went forth with His disciples to the other side of ^(B)the Kidron Valley, where there was ^(C)a garden, into which He entered ^[a]with His disciples. ² Now Judas also, who was ^[b]betraying Him, knew the place, for Jesus had ^(D)often gathered there with His disciples. ^3 (E)Judas then, having received ^(F)the Roman ^[c]cohort and ^(G)officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, *came there with lanterns and ^(H)torches and weapons. ⁴ So Jesus, ^(I)knowing all the things that were coming upon Him, went forth and *said to them, “^(J)Whom do you seek?” ⁵ They answered Him, “Jesus the Nazarene.” He *said to them, “I am He.” And Judas also, who was betraying Him, was standing with them. ⁶ So when He said to them, “I am He,” they drew back and fell to the ground. ⁷ Therefore He again asked them, “^(K)Whom do you seek?” And they said, “Jesus the Nazarene.” ⁸ Jesus answered, “I told you that I am He; so if you seek Me, let these go their way,” ⁹ in order that the word which He spoke would be fulfilled, “^(L)Of those whom You have given Me, I lost not one.” ¹⁰ Simon Peter then, ^(M)having a sword, drew it and struck the high priest’s slave, and cut off his right ear; and the slave’s name was Malchus. ¹¹ So Jesus said to Peter, “Put the sword into the sheath; ^(N)the cup which the Father has given Me, shall I not drink it?”
