John 18:3 Context
1When Iesus had spoken these wordes, hee went foorth with his disciples ouer the Brooke Cedron, where was a garden, into the which hee entred and his disciples. 2And Iudas also which betrayed him, knew the place: for Iesus oft times resorted thither with his disciples. 3Iudas then hauing receiued a band of men, and officers from the chiefe Priests and Pharisees, commeth thither with lanternes and torches, and weapons. 4Iesus therefore knowing all things that should come vpon him, went foorth, and sayde vnto them, Whom seeke ye? 5They answered him, Iesus of Nazareth. Iesus saith vnto them, I am hee. And Iudas also which betraied him, stood with them.
