John 18:1-5 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

1. When he had said this, Jesus went out with his disciples across the Kidron valley to where there was a garden, into which he and his disciples entered.

2. Judas his betrayer also knew the place, because Jesus had often met there with his disciples.

3. So Judas got a band of soldiers and guards from the chief priests and the Pharisees and went there with lanterns, torches, and weapons.

4. Jesus, knowing everything that was going to happen to him, went out and said to them, “Whom are you looking for?”

5. They answered him, “Jesus the Nazorean.” He said to them, “I AM.” Judas his betrayer was also with them.
