Bible Scriptures: Darby Translation
John 18:1-9 “18 Jesus, having said these things, went out with his disciples beyond the torrent Cedron, where was a garden, into which he entered, he and his disciples.2 And Judas also, who delivered him up, knew the place, because Jesus was often there, in company with his disciples.
3 Judas therefore, having got the band, and officers of the chief priests and Pharisees, comes there with lanterns and torches and weapons.4 Jesus therefore, knowing all things that were coming upon him, went forth and said to them, Whom seek ye?
5 They answered him, Jesus the Nazaraean. Jesus says to them, I am [he]. And Judas also, who delivered him up, stood with them.6 When therefore he said to them, I am [he], they went away backward and fell to the ground.7 He demanded of them therefore again, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus the Nazaraean.
8 Jesus answered, I told you that I am [he]: if therefore ye seek me, let these go away;9 that the word might be fulfilled which he spoke, [As to] those whom thou hast given me, I have not lost one of them.”
Luke 23:33-34 “33 And when they came to the place which is called Skull, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, the other on the left.34 And Jesus said, Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.”
Luke 24:50-53 “50 And he led them out as far as Bethany, and having lifted up his hands, he blessed them.51 And it came to pass as he was blessing them, he was separated from them and was carried up into heaven.52 And *they*, having done him homage, returned to Jerusalem with great joy,
53 and were continually in the temple praising and blessing God.”
