Seeker Overlay ON

* Having said these things , Jesus went out with His disciples across the winter stream Kidron , where there was a garden into which He and His disciples entered . * And Judas , the one betraying Him , also knew the place , because Jesus many times assembled there with His disciples . * Then receiving a cohort and under-officers from among the chief priests and the Pharisees , Judas came there with torches and lamps and weapons . * Then knowing all the things coming upon Him , going forth , Jesus said to them , Whom do you seek ? * They answered Him , Jesus the Nazarene . Jesus said to them , I AM ! And Judas , the one betraying Him , also stood with them . * Then when He said to them , I AM , they departed into the rear and fell to the ground . * Then again He asked , Whom do you seek ? And they said , Jesus the Nazarene . * Jesus answered , I told you that I AM ; then if you seek Me , allow these to depart , * (that the Word might be fulfilled which He said , " Of those whom You gave to Me , I lost not one of them )." * Then having a sword , Simon Peter drew it and struck the slave of the high priest and cut off his right ear . And the slave 's name was Malchus . * Then Jesus said to Peter , Put your sword into the sheath : the cup which the Father has given Me , shall I not at all drink it ?
