1 After Jesus had said this prayer, he left with his disciples and went across Kidron Brook. There was a garden in that place, and Jesus and his disciples went in.
2 Judas, the traitor, knew where it was, because many times Jesus had met there with his disciples.
3 So Judas went to the garden, taking with him a group of Roman soldiers, and some Temple guards sent by the chief priests and the Pharisees; they were armed and carried lanterns and torches.
4 Jesus knew everything that was going to happen to him, so he stepped forward and asked them, “Who is it you are looking for?”
5 “Jesus of Nazareth,” they answered.“I am he,” he said.Judas, the traitor, was standing there with them.
6 When Jesus said to them, “I am he,” they moved back and fell to the ground.
7 Again Jesus asked them, “Who is it you are looking for?”“Jesus of Nazareth,” they said.
