John 18:2-11
English Standard Version
2 Now Judas, who betrayed him, also knew (A)the place, for (B)Jesus often met there with his disciples. 3 (C)So Judas, having procured a band of soldiers and some officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, went there with lanterns and torches and weapons. 4 Then Jesus, (D)knowing all that would happen to him, came forward and said to them, (E)“Whom do you seek?” 5 They answered him, “Jesus of Nazareth.” Jesus said to them, “I am he.”[a] Judas, who betrayed him, was standing with them. 6 (F)When Jesus[b] said to them, “I am he,” they drew back and fell to the ground. 7 So he asked them again, (G)“Whom do you seek?” And they said, “Jesus of Nazareth.” 8 Jesus answered, “I told you that I am he. So, if you seek me, let these men go.” 9 (H)This was to fulfill the word that he had spoken: “Of those whom you gave me I have lost not one.” 10 Then Simon Peter, (I)having a sword, drew it and struck the high priest's servant[c] and cut off his right ear. (The servant's name was Malchus.) 11 So Jesus said to Peter, “Put your sword into its sheath; (J)shall I not drink the cup that the Father has given me?”

John 18:2-11
New International Version
2 Now Judas, who betrayed him, knew the place, because Jesus had often met there with his disciples.(A) 3 So Judas came to the garden, guiding(B) a detachment of soldiers and some officials from the chief priests and the Pharisees.(C) They were carrying torches, lanterns and weapons.
4 Jesus, knowing all that was going to happen to him,(D) went out and asked them, “Who is it you want?”(E)
5 “Jesus of Nazareth,”(F) they replied.
“I am he,” Jesus said. (And Judas the traitor was standing there with them.) 6 When Jesus said, “I am he,” they drew back and fell to the ground.
7 Again he asked them, “Who is it you want?”(G)
“Jesus of Nazareth,” they said.
8 Jesus answered, “I told you that I am he. If you are looking for me, then let these men go.” 9 This happened so that the words he had spoken would be fulfilled: “I have not lost one of those you gave me.”[a](H)
10 Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it and struck the high priest’s servant, cutting off his right ear. (The servant’s name was Malchus.)
11 Jesus commanded Peter, “Put your sword away! Shall I not drink the cup(I) the Father has given me?”
