went out with his disciples beyond
the brook Kedron, where was a garden, into which he entered and his
disciples. (2)And Judas also, his betrayer knew the place; because
Jesus ofttimes resorted thither with his disciples.
(3)Judas therefore, having received the band and officers from the
chief priests and Pharisees, comes thither with torches and lamps and
weapons. (4)Jesus therefore, knowing all the things that were coming
upon him, went forth and said to them: Whom do ye seek? (5)They
answered him: Jesus the Nazarene. Jesus says to them: I am he. And
Judas also, his betrayer, was standing with them.
(6)When therefore he said to them, I am he, they went backward, and
