John 18:3

Verse 3 of 40. The 18th of 21 chapters in John, in The Gospels.

1When Jesus had spoken these words, he went out with his disciples over the brook Kidron, where there was a garden, into which he and his disciples entered.

2Now Judas, who betrayed him, also knew the place, for Jesus often met there with his disciples.

3Judas then, having taken a detachment of soldiers and officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, came there with lanterns, torches, and weapons.

4Jesus therefore, knowing all the things that were happening to him, went out and said to them, “Who are you looking for?”

5They answered him, “Jesus of Nazareth.” Jesus said to them, “I am he.” Judas also, who betrayed him, was standing with them.

6When therefore he said to them, “I am he,” they went backward and fell to the ground.

7Again therefore he asked them, “Who are you looking for?” They said, “Jesus of Nazareth.”
