1. After Jesus had said these things, He went out with His disciples across the Kidron Valley, where there was a garden, and He and His disciples went into it.
2. Judas, who betrayed Him, also knew the place, because Jesus often met there with His disciples.
3. So Judas took a company of soldiers and some temple police from the chief priests and the Pharisees and came there with lanterns, torches, and weapons.
4. Then Jesus, knowing everything that was about to happen to Him, went out and said to them, “Who is it you’re looking for? ”
5. “Jesus the Nazarene,” they answered.“I am He,” Jesus told them.Judas, who betrayed Him, was also standing with them.
6. When He told them, “I am He,” they stepped back and fell to the ground.
7. Then He asked them again, “Who is it you’re looking for? ”“Jesus the Nazarene,” they said.
8. “I told you I am He,” Jesus replied. “So if you’re looking for Me, let these men go.”
9. This was to fulfill the words He had said: “I have not lost one of those You have given Me.”
