John 18:7

Verse 7 of 40. The 18th of 21 chapters in John, in The Gospels.

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.”

8Jesus answered, “I told you that I am he. If therefore you seek me, let these go their way,”

9that the word might be fulfilled which he spoke, “Of those whom you have given me, I have lost none.”

10Simon Peter therefore, having a sword, drew it, struck the high priest’s servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant’s name was Malchus.

11Jesus therefore said to Peter, “Put the sword into its sheath. The cup which the Father has given me, shall I not surely drink it?”
