John 18:2-8 Now Judah (or: Judas) – the one presently and progressively handing Him over – also had seen and knew the place, because Jesus had many times (or: frequently; often) been gathered there with His disciples.

JMNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ² Now Judah (or: Judas) – the one presently and progressively handing Him over – also had seen and knew the place, because Jesus had many times (or: frequently; often) been gathered there with His disciples. ³ Therefore Judah (Judas), getting and taking the detachment (or: squad [of Roman soldiers]) and subordinates (those who act under orders; deputies; Temple guards or Sanhedrin officers) from the chief (ranking) priests and from the Pharisees, is proceeding to come there with lanterns, torches and weapons (or: arms). ⁴ Then Jesus, having seen and being aware of (or: knowing) all the things progressively coming upon Him, went out and proceeds saying to them, "Whom are you folks presently seeking (looking for; or: What things are you men now trying to find)?" ⁵ They decidedly replied, "Jesus, the Nazarene." He then says to them, "I am (or: I, Myself, am; or: I am Being)" [B reads: "I am Jesus."]. Now Judah (Judas) – the one handing Him over – had also been standing with them, ⁶ then, as He said to them, "I, Myself, am (or: I am continuous Existence)," he [other MSS: they] went off into the rear (into the [area] back behind) and they suddenly fell to the ground. ⁷ Then He again inquired of them, "Whom are you presently seeking (looking for; or: What things are you men now trying to find)?" Now those men say, "Jesus, the Nazarene." ⁸ Jesus decidedly replies, "I told you that I, Myself, am (or: I am). Since (or: If), then, you men are presently seeking Me, allow these men to proceed departing,"
