When Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with his disciples over the brook Kidron, where was a garden, into which he entered, himself and his disciples.
2
Now Judas, who betrayed him, also knew the place, for Jesus often resorted there with his disciples.

Judas then, having taken a detachment of soldiers and officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, came there with lanterns, torches, and weapons.
4
Jesus therefore, knowing all the things that were coming on him, went forth, and said to them, "Who are you looking for?"
5
They answered him, "Jesus of Nazareth." Jesus said to them, "I AM." Judas also, who betrayed him, was standing with them.
6
When therefore he said to them, "I AM," they went backward, and fell to the ground.
7
Again therefore he asked them, "Who are you looking for?" They said, "Jesus of Nazareth."

Jesus answered, "I told you that I AM. If therefore you seek me, let these go their way,"
