John 18:5-12

NSB(i) 5 They answered him: »Jesus of Nazareth.« Jesus replied: »I am he.« Judas the betrayer was with them. 6 When he said to them I am he they drew back and fell to the ground. 7 Again he asked: »Whom do you seek?« And they said: »Jesus of Nazareth.« 8 Jesus answered: »I told you that I am he. If you seek me let these go their way.« 9 That way the word he spoke might be fulfilled; ‘I lost none of those you gave me.’ 10 Simon Peter drew the sword he had, struck the high priest’s servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant’s name was Malchus. 11 Jesus said to Peter: »Put the sword in the sheath. Shall I drink the cup the Father has given me?« 12 The soldiers, the military commanders, and the officers of the Jews, seized Jesus and bound him.
