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.”
10. Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it and struck the servant of the kohen gadol , and cut off his right ear. Now the servant’s name was Malchus.
11. So Yeshua said to Peter, “Put the sword into the sheath! The cup the Father has given Me—shall I never drink it?”
12. Then the band of soldiers, with the captain and the officers of the Judeans, seized Yeshua and tied Him up.
13. They led Him first to Annas, for he was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, the kohen gadol that year.
14. Now Caiaphas was the one who had advised the Judean leaders that it was better for one man to die on behalf of the people.
