John 18:2-12

New King James Version

²And Judas, who betrayed Him, also knew the place; ^(A)for Jesus often met there with His disciples. ³^(B)Then Judas, having received a detachment of troops, and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, came there with lanterns, torches, and weapons. ⁴Jesus therefore, ^(C)knowing all things that would come upon Him, went forward and said to them, “Whom are you seeking?”

⁵They answered Him, ^(D)“Jesus ^[a]of Nazareth.”

Jesus said to them, “I am He.” And Judas, who ^(E)betrayed Him, also stood with them. ⁶Now when He said to them, “I am He,” they drew back and fell to the ground.

⁷Then He asked them again, “Whom are you seeking?”

And they said, “Jesus of Nazareth.”

⁸Jesus answered, “I have told you that I am He. Therefore, if you seek Me, let these go their way,” ⁹that the saying might be fulfilled which He spoke, ^(F)“Of those whom You gave Me I have lost none.”

¹⁰^(G)Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it and struck the high priest’s servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant’s name was Malchus.

¹¹So Jesus said to Peter, “Put your sword into the sheath. Shall I not drink ^(H)the cup which My Father has given Me?”
