John 18:1-14
The Betrayal of Jesus

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.

1:

2 And Judas also, which betrayed him, knew the place: for Jesus ofttimes resorted thither with his disciples.

2:

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.

3:

4 Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said unto them, Whom seek ye?

4:

5 They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, I am [he]. And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with them.

5:

6 As soon then as he had said unto them, I am [he], they went backward, and fell to the ground.

6:

7 Then asked he them again, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth.

7:

8 Jesus answered, I have told you that I am [he]: if therefore ye seek me, let these go their way:

8:

9 That the saying might be fulfilled, which he spake, Of them which thou gavest me have I lost none.

9:

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.

10:

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?

11:

12 Then the band and the captain and officers of the Jews took Jesus, and bound him,

12:

13 And led him away to Annas first; for he was father in law to Caiaphas, which was the high priest that same year.

13:

14 Now Caiaphas was he, which gave counsel to the Jews, that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.

14:
