Reading John chapter 18 in the Douay-Rheims Catholic Bible, public-domain text from 1899.
Verses 1–10
1 When Jesus had said these things, he went forth with his disciples over the brook Cedron, where there was a garden, into which he entered with his disciples.
2 And Judas also, who betrayed him, knew the place: because Jesus had often resorted thither together with his disciples.
3 Judas therefore having received a band of soldiers and servants from the chief priests and the Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns and torches and weapons.
4 Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth and said to them: Whom seek ye?
5 They answered him: Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith to them: I am he. And Judas also, who betrayed him, stood with them.
6 As soon therefore as he had said to them: I am he; they went backward and fell to the ground.
7 Again therefore he asked them: Whom seek ye? And they said: Jesus of Nazareth.
8 Jesus answered: I have told you that I am he. If therefore you seek me, let these go their way,
9 That the word might be fulfilled which he said: Of them whom thou hast given me, I have not lost any one.
10 Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it and struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his right ear. And the name of thee servant was Malchus.
