mnt - John:18:1-11

mnt@John:18:1 @ After he had spoken these words Jesus went forth with his disciples to a place across the Ravine of the Cedars, where there was a garden into which he and his disciples went.

mnt@John:18:2 @ Judas the Traitor also knew this place; for Jesus and his disciples often met there.

mnt@John:18:3 @ So after getting troops and some Temple police from the chief priests and Pharisees, Judas came there with lanterns and torches and weapons.

mnt@John:18:4 @ Then Jesus, knowing all that was coming upon him, went forth to meet them, and asked them, "Who is it that you are looking for?"

mnt@John:18:5 @ "For Jesus of Nazareth," they answered. He said to them, "I am he." (Now Judas also, the betrayer, was standing with them.)

mnt@John:18:6 @ When Jesus said "I am he," they drew back and fell to the ground;

mnt@John:18:7 @ so he asked them once more, "Whom are you looking for?" and they replied, "Jesus of Nazareth."

mnt@John:18:8 @ "I have already told you that I am he," said Jesus. "If, then, you are looking for me, let these go their way."

mnt@John:18:9 @ "(In order that the word which he had spoken might be fulfilled, "Of those whom thou hast given me I have not lost one.")

mnt@John:18:10 @ Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it, and striking at the high priests slave, cut off his right ear.

mnt@John:18:11 @ (The slaves name was Malchus.) Then Jesus said to Peter. "Put up your sword in its sheath. the cup which my Father has given me, shall I not drink it?"
