John 18:1-11 ▼

1 When Iesus had spoken these things, hee went foorth with his disciples ouer the brooke Cedron, where was a garden, into the which he entred, and his disciples.

2 And Iudas which betraied him, knewe also the place: for Iesus oft times resorted thither with his disciples.

3 Iudas then, after hee had receiued a band of men and officers of the high Priests, and of the Pharises, came thither with lanternes and torches, and weapons.

4 Then Iesus, knowing all things that shoulde come vnto him, went foorth and said vnto them, Whom seeke yee?

5 They answered him, Iesus of Nazareth. Iesus sayde vnto them, I am hee. Nowe Iudas also which betraied him, stoode with them.

6 Assoone then as hee had saide vnto them, I am hee, they went away backewardes, and fell to the grounde.

7 Then he asked them againe, Whome seeke yee? And they sayd, Iesus of Nazareth.

8 Iesus answered, I said vnto you, that I am he: therefore if ye seeke me, let these go their way.

9 This was that the worde might be fulfilled which hee spake, Of them which thou gauest me, haue I lost none.

10 Then Simon Peter hauing a sword, drewe it, & smote the hie Priests seruant, and cut off his right eare. Nowe the seruants name was Malchus.

11 Then sayde Iesus vnto Peter, Put vp thy sworde into the sheath: shall I not drinke of the cuppe which my Father hath giuen me?
