¶1* 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.
2* And Judas also, which betrayed him, knew the place: for Jesus ofttimes resorted thither with his disciples.
3* Judas then, having received a band of men and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns and torches and weapons.
4* Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said unto them, Whom seek ye?
5* They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, I am he. And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with them.
6* As soon then as he had said unto them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground.
7* Then asked he them again, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth.
8* Jesus answered, I have told you that I am he: if therefore ye seek me, let these go their way:
9* That the saying might be fulfilled, which he spake, Of them which thou gavest me have I lost none.
10* 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.
11* 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? |
