1 After Jesus finished his prayer, he went with his disciples to the other side of the Kidron Valley. They entered the garden that was there. 2 Judas, who betrayed him, knew the place because Jesus and his disciples often gathered there. 3 So Judas took a troop of soldiers and the guards from the chief priests and Pharisees and went to the garden. They were carrying lanterns, torches, and weapons. 4 Jesus knew everything that was going to happen to him. So he went to meet them and asked, |Who are you looking for?| 5 They answered him, |Jesus from Nazareth.| Jesus told them, |I am he.| Judas, who betrayed him, was standing with the crowd. 6 When Jesus told them, |I am he,| the crowd backed away and fell to the ground. 7 Jesus asked them again, |Who are you looking for?| They said, |Jesus from Nazareth.| John 18:1-7, God's Word Translation.
