John 18:1-6 ▼

1 Having said these things, Jesus went forth with His disciples beyond the Brook of Kidron, where [there] was a garden, into which He entered, Himself and His disciples,

2 and Judas also, who delivered Him up, had known the place, because Jesus assembled there with His disciples many times.

3 Judas, therefore, having taken the band and officers out of the chief priests and Pharisees, comes there with torches and lamps, and weapons;

4 Jesus, therefore, knowing all things that are coming on Him, having gone forth, said to them, “Whom do you seek?”

5 They answered Him, “Jesus the Nazarene”; Jesus says to them, “I AM”; and Judas who delivered Him up was standing with them.

6 When, therefore, He said to them, “I AM,” they went away backward, and fell to the ground.
