John 18:1-11

Revised Geneva Translation

18 When Jesus had spoken these things, He went forth with His disciples over the brook, Kidron; where there was a garden - into which He and His disciples entered.

² And Judas, who betrayed Him, also knew the place. For Jesus often gathered there with His disciples.

³ Then Judas, after he had procured a cohort and officers of the chief priests, and of the Pharisees, came with lanterns and torches and weapons.

⁴ Then Jesus, knowing all things that would come to Him, went forth and said to them, “Whom do you seek?”

⁵ They answered him, “Jesus of Nazareth.” Jesus said to them, “I am He.” Now Judas, who also betrayed Him, stood with them.

⁶ Then, as soon as He had said to them, “I am He”, they drew back and fell to the ground.

⁷ Then He asked them again, “Whom do you seek?”And they said, “Jesus of Nazareth.”

⁸ Jesus answered, “I said to you that I am He. Therefore, if you seek Me, let these go their way.”

⁹ This was so that the word might be fulfilled which He spoke, ‘Of those whom You gave Me, I have lost none.’

¹⁰ Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it, and struck the High Priest’s servant, and cut off his right ear. Now the servant’s name was Malchus.

¹¹ Then Jesus said to Peter, “Put your sword into the sheath. Shall I not drink from the cup which My Father has given Me?”
