2 And Judas, who betrayed Him, also knew the place; afor Jesus often met there with His disciples.
3 aThen 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, aknowing all things that would come upon Him, went forward and said to them, “Whom are you seeking?”
5 They answered Him, a“Jesus of Nazareth.” Jesus said to them, “I am He.” And Judas, who bbetrayed Him, also stood with them.
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, a“Of those whom You gave Me I have lost none.”
10 aThen 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.
