Judas came to the garden, where Jesus was kneeling down in prayer
With his band of men from the Chief Priest’s hand
Judas came to take his friend away
With their burning lanterns and their flaming torches and their swords made of cold honed steel
Judas came to betray his friend from Nazareth
In the night Judas came
And Jesus who knew everything said to the men at hand
“Whom do you seek?”
Jesus, of Nazareth. “I am He.”
And they fell to the ground and they trembled in fear and Jesus said once again to them
“Whom do you seek?”
Jesus, of Nazareth. “I am He.”
And this band of men from the Chief Priest’s hand took Jesus and bound him tight
As they led him away you could hear the sound of silver….jingling in the night
