O righteous Father, the world has not known
you. But I have known you, and the ones you have sent me have known
you. I have declared your name to them. And I declare that the love,
with which you have loved me, be in them, and I in them.
18. When Jesus had spoken these words, He took His disciples
across the Cedron valley and went into the garden. Judas, who betrayed
Him, also knew this place because Jesus often went there with His
disciples. Judas then, having been given a band of officers from the
chief priests and Pharisees, approached the spot with lanterns,
torches, and weapons.
Jesus, knowing the things that were to happen, stepped forward and said
to them, Who are you looking for? They answered, Jesus of Nazareth.
Jesus then said, I am. Judas, who betrayed Him, also stood with them.
As soon as Jesus said, I am, they were astonished and fell to the
ground.
Then He asked them again, Who are you looking for? They said, Jesus of
Nazareth. Then Jesus said to them, I have told you that I am. If you
are looking for me, let the others go their way. He said this because
of His earlier words: Of those you gave me, I have lost none.
Then Peter, having a sword, struck the high priest's servant and cut
his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus. Jesus immediately said
to Peter, Put away your sword.
