John:18:1-11
Seeker Overlay ON
*
When Jesus had spoken these words ,
he went forth with his disciples over the brook Cedron ,
where was a garden ,
into the which he entered ,
and his disciples .
*
And Judas also ,
which betrayed him ,
knew the place :
for Jesus ofttimes resorted thither with his disciples .
*
Judas then ,
having received a band of men and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees ,
cometh thither with lanterns and torches and weapons .
*
Jesus therefore ,
knowing all things that should come upon him ,
went forth ,
and said unto them ,
Whom seek ye ?
*
They answered him ,
Jesus of Nazareth .
Jesus saith unto them ,
I am he .
And Judas also ,
which betrayed him ,
stood with them .
*
As soon then as he had said unto them ,
I am he ,
they went backward ,
and fell to the ground .
*
Then asked he them again ,
Whom seek ye ?
And they said ,
Jesus of Nazareth .
*
Jesus answered ,
I have told you that I am he :
if therefore ye seek me ,
let these go their way :
*
That the saying might be fulfilled ,
which he spake ,
Of them which thou gavest me have I lost none .
*
Then Simon Peter having a sword drew it ,
and smote the high priest '
s servant ,
and cut off his right ear .
The servant '
s name was Malchus .
*
Then said Jesus unto Peter ,
Put up thy sword into the sheath :
the cup which my Father hath given me ,
shall I not drink it ?
