1

When Jesus had said these words he went out with his disciples over the stream Kedron to a garden, into which he went with his disciples.

2

And Judas, who was false to him, had knowledge of the place because Jesus went there frequently with his disciples.

3

So Judas, getting a band of armed men and police from the chief priests and Pharisees, went there with lights and with arms.

4

Then Jesus, having knowledge of everything which was coming on him, went forward and said to them, Who are you looking for?

5

Their answer was, Jesus the Nazarene. Jesus said, I am he. And Judas, who was false to him, was there at their side.

6

And when he said to them, I am he, they went back, falling to the earth.

7

So again he put the question to them, Who are you looking for? And they said, Jesus the Nazarene.

8

Jesus made answer, I have said that I am he if you are looking for me, let these men go away.

9

(He said this so that his words might come true, I have kept safe all those whom you gave to me.)

10

Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, took it out and gave the high priest's servant a blow, cutting off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus.

11

Then Jesus said to Peter, Put back your sword: am I not to take the cup which my Father has given to me?
