John 18:3-7 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

3. So Judas led a group of soldiers to the garden, along with some guards from the leading priests and the Pharisees. They were carrying torches, lanterns, and weapons.

4. Jesus already knew everything that would happen to him. So he went out and asked them, “Who are you looking for?”

5. They answered, “Jesus from Nazareth.” He said, “I am Jesus.” (Judas, the one responsible for handing Jesus over, was standing there with them.)

6. When Jesus said, “I am Jesus,” the men moved back and fell to the ground.

7. He asked them again, “Who are you looking for?” They said, “Jesus from Nazareth.”
