John:18:1-11
Seeker Overlay ON
*
When Jesus had spoken these words ,
He went out with His disciples over the Brook Kidron ,
where there was a garden ,
which He and His disciples entered .
*
And Judas ,
who betrayed Him ,
also knew the place ;
for Jesus often met there with His disciples .
*
Then Judas ,
having received a detachment of troops ,
and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees ,
came there with lanterns ,
torches ,
and weapons .
*
Jesus therefore ,
knowing all things that would come upon Him ,
went forward and said to them , "
Whom are you seeking ?"
*
They answered Him , "
Jesus of Nazareth ."
Jesus said to them , "
I am He ."
And Judas ,
who betrayed Him ,
also stood with them .
*
Now when He said to them , "
I am He ,"
they drew back and fell to the ground .
*
Then He asked them again , "
Whom are you seeking ?"
And they said , "
Jesus of Nazareth ."
*
Jesus answered , "
I have told you that I am He .
Therefore ,
if you seek Me ,
let these go their way ,"
*
that the saying might be fulfilled which He spoke , "
Of those whom You gave Me I have lost none ."
*
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 .
*
So Jesus said to Peter , "
Put your sword into the sheath .
Shall I not drink the cup which My Father has given Me ?"
