John:18:1-11
Seeker Overlay ON
*
After speaking these things ,
Jesus went forth with his disciples on the other side of the brook Kidron ,
where there was a garden into which he entered ,
he and his disciples .
*
Now Judas ,
the man betraying him ,
had also known the place ,
because Jesus also often gathered there with his disciples .
*
Judas therefore having received the band and subordinates from the chief priests and the Pharisees ,
comes there with lanterns and torches and weapons .
*
Jesus therefore knowing all the things that were coming upon him ,
after going forth ,
he says to them ,
Whom seek ye ?
*
They answered him ,
Jesus the Nazarene .
Jesus says to them ,
I am he .
And Judas ,
the man betraying him had also stood with them .
*
When therefore he said to them ,
I am he ,
they went backward and fell to the ground .
*
Again therefore he questioned them ,
Whom seek ye ?
And they said ,
Jesus the Nazarene .
*
Jesus answered ,
I told you that I am .
If therefore ye seek me ,
allow these men to go ,
*
so that the word that he spoke might be fulfilled ,
Of whom thou have given me ,
I lost ,
no ,
not one of them .
*
Simon Peter therefore ,
having a sword ,
drew it and struck the high priest '
s bondman ,
and cut off his right ear .
Now the servant '
s name was Malchus .
*
Jesus therefore said to Peter ,
Put up thy sword into the sheath .
The cup that the Father has given me ,
shall I ,
no ,
not drink it ?
