- When Jesus had spoken these words, He went forth with His disciples over the ravine of the Kidron, where there was a garden, in which He entered with His disciples.
- Now Judas also, who was betraying Him, knew the place, for Jesus had often met there with His disciples.
- Judas then, having received the Roman cohort and officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, came there with lanterns and torches and weapons.
- So Jesus, knowing all the things that were coming upon Him, went forth and said to them, "Whom do you seek?"
- They answered Him, "Jesus the Nazarene." He said to them, "I am He." And Judas also, who was betraying Him, was standing with them.

- When he had finished praying, Jesus left with his disciples and crossed the Kidron Valley. On the other side there was an olive grove, and he and his disciples went into it.
- Now Judas, who betrayed him, knew the place, because Jesus had often met there with his disciples.
- So Judas came to the grove, guiding a detachment of soldiers and some officials from the chief priests and Pharisees. They were carrying torches, lanterns and weapons.
- Jesus, knowing all that was going to happen to him, went out and asked them, "Who is it you want?"
- "Jesus of Nazareth," they replied. "I am he," Jesus said. (And Judas the traitor was standing there with them.)
