Scriptures

New King James Version (NKJV)

John 18
³ Then Judas, having received a detachment of troops, and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, came there with lanterns, torches, and weapons.
⁴ Jesus therefore, knowing all things that would come upon Him, went forward and said to them, "Whom are you seeking?"
⁵ They answered Him, "Jesus of Nazareth." Jesus said to them, "I am He." And Judas, who betrayed Him, also stood with them.
⁶ Now when He said to them, "I am He," they drew back and fell to the ground.
⁷ Then He asked them again, "Whom are you seeking?" And they said, "Jesus of Nazareth."
⁸ Jesus answered, "I have told you that I am He. Therefore, if you seek Me, let these go their way,"
⁹ that the saying might be fulfilled which He spoke, "Of those whom You gave Me I have lost none."
¹⁰ Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it and struck the high priest’s servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant’s name was Malchus.
¹¹ So Jesus said to Peter, "Put your sword into the sheath. Shall I not drink the cup which My Father has given Me?"
¹² Then the detachment of troops and the captain and the officers of the Jews arrested Jesus and bound Him.
¹³ And they led Him away to Annas first, for he was the father-in-law of Caiaphas who was high priest that year.
