John 18:3-5

The Voice

^2-3 Judas Iscariot (who had already set his betrayal in motion and knew that Jesus often met with the disciples in this olive grove) entered the garden with an entourage of Roman soldiers and officials sent by the chief priests and Pharisees. They brandished their weapons under the light of torches and lamps. ⁴ Jesus stepped forward. It was clear He was not surprised because He knew all things.

Judas, the betrayer, stood with the military force.
