3 So Judas came to the grove. He was guiding a group of soldiers and some officials. The chief priests and the Pharisees had sent them. They were carrying torches, lanterns and weapons.
4 Jesus knew everything that was going to happen to him. So he went out and asked them, "Who is it that you want?"
5 "Jesus of Nazareth," they replied. "I am he," Jesus said. Judas, who was going to hand Jesus over, was standing there with them.
6 When Jesus said, "I am he," they moved back. Then they fell to the ground.
7 He asked them again, "Who is it that you want?" They said, "Jesus of Nazareth."
8 "I told you I am he," Jesus answered. "If you are looking for me, then let these men go."
9 This happened so that the words Jesus had spoken would come true. He had said, "I have not lost anyone God has given me." (John 6:39)
