Gospel according to John

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

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.

Jesus therefore, knowing all the things that were happening to him, went forth, and said to them, "Who are you looking for?"

They answered him, "Jesus of Nazareth." Jesus said to them, "I AM." Judas also, who betrayed him, was standing with them.

When therefore he said to them, "I AM," they went backward, and fell to the ground.
