Judas Betrays Jesus

1 When Jesus° had spoken° these° words, aHe went° forth° with His disciples° over° bthe Iravine° of the Kidron°, where° there was ca garden°, in which° He entered° IIwith His disciples°. 2 Now° Judas° also°, who was Ibetraying° Him, knew° the place°, for Jesus° had aoften° met° there° with His disciples°. 3 aJudas° then°, having received° bthe [Roman] Icohort° and cofficers° from the chief° priests° and the Pharisees°, *came° there° with lanterns° and dtorches° and weapons°. 4 So° Jesus°, aknowing° all° the things° that were coming° upon Him, went° forth° and *said° to them, bWhom° do you seek°?” 5 They answered° Him, “Jesus° the Nazarene°.” He *said° to them, “I am° [He].” And Judas° also°, who was betraying° Him, was standing° with them. 6 So° when° He said° to them, “I am° [He],” they drew° back° and fell° to the ground°. 7 Therefore° He again° asked° them, aWhom° do you seek°?” And they said°, “Jesus° the Nazarene°.” 8 Jesus° answered°, “I told° you that I am° [He]; so° if° you seek° Me, let° these° go° their way°,” 9 to fulfill° the word° which° He spoke°, aOf those whom° You have given° Me I lost° not one°.” 10 Simon° Peter° then°, ahaving° a sword°, drew° it and struck° the high° priest’s° slave°, and cut° off° his right° ear°; and the slave’s° name° was Malchus°. 11 So° Jesus° said° to Peter°, “Put° the sword° into the sheath°; athe cup° which° the Father° has given° Me, shall I not drink° it?”
