1. When Yeshua had said these things, He went out with His disciples across the Kidron Valley, where there was a garden, which He and His disciples entered.
2. Now Judah, who was betraying Him, also knew the place, because Yeshua had often met there with His disciples.
3. So Judah, having taken a band of soldiers and some officers from the ruling kohanim and Pharisees, comes there with lanterns, torches, and weapons.
4. Then Yeshua, knowing all the things coming upon Him, went forward. He said to them, “Who are you looking for?”
5. “Yeshua ha-Natzrati,” they answered Him. Yeshua tells them, “I am.” Now Judah, the one betraying Him, was also standing with them.
6. So when Yeshua said to them, “I am,” they drew back and fell to the ground.
7. So again He asked them, “Who are you looking for?” And they said, “Yeshua ha-Natzrati.”
8. Yeshua answered, “I told you, I am! If you’re looking for Me, let these men go their way.”
9. This was so the word would be fulfilled that He spoke: “I did not lose one of those You have given Me.”
