John 18:1-13

Betrayal and Arrest of Jesus

1When Jesus had spoken these words, ahe went out with his disciples across bthe brook Kidron, where there was a garden, which he and his disciples entered. 2Now Judas, who betrayed him, also knew cthe place, for dJesus often met there with his disciples. 3 eSo Judas, having procured a band of soldiers and some officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, went there with lanterns and torches and weapons. 4Then Jesus, fknowing all that would happen to him, came forward and said to them, gWhom do you seek?” 5They answered him, “Jesus of Nazareth.” Jesus said to them, I am he.”
Greek  I am; also verses 6, 8
Judas, who betrayed him, was standing with them.
6 iWhen Jesus
Greek he
said to them, I am he,” they drew back and fell to the ground.
7So he asked them again, kWhom do you seek?” And they said, “Jesus of Nazareth.” 8Jesus answered, “I told you that I am he. So, if you seek me, let these men go.” 9 lThis was to fulfill the word that he had spoken: Of those whom you gave me I have lost not one.” 10Then Simon Peter, mhaving a sword, drew it and struck the high priest’s servant
Greek bondservant; twice in this verse
and cut off his right ear. (The servant’s name was Malchus.)
11So Jesus said to Peter, Put your sword into its sheath; oshall I not drink the cup that the Father has given me?”

Jesus Faces Annas and Caiaphas

12So the band of soldiers and their captain and the officers of the Jews
Greek Ioudaioi probably refers here to Jewish religious leaders, and others under their influence, in that time; also verses 14, 31, 36, 38
arrested Jesus and bound him.
13First they qled him to rAnnas, for he was the father-in-law of sCaiaphas, who was high priest that year.
