Passio Domini nostri Iesu Christi secundem Ioannem. In illo tempore: Egressus est Iesus cum discipulis suis trans torrentem Cedron, ubi erat hortus, in quem introivit ipse et discipuli eius. Sciebat autem et Iudas, qui tradebat eum, locum, quia frequenter Iesus convenerat illuc cum discipulis suis. Iudas ergo, cum accepisset cohortem et a pontificibus et pharisæis ministros, venit illuc cum lanternis et facibus et armis. Iesus itaque sciens omnia, quæ ventura erant super eum, processit et dicit eis: “Quem quæritis?” Responderunt ei: “Iesum Nazarenum.” Dicit eis: “Ego sum!”
When Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with his disciples across the Kidron valley, where there was a garden, which he and his disciples entered. Now Judas, who betrayed him, also knew the place; for Jesus often met there with his disciples. So Judas, procuring a band of soldiers and some officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, went there with lanterns and torches and weapons. Then Jesus, knowing all that was to befall him, came forward and said to them, “Whom do you seek?” They answered him, “Jesus of Nazareth.” Jesus said to them, “I am he.”
