John 18:1-10

1 When Yeshua had spoken these words, he went forth with his talmidim over the brook Kidron, where was a garden, into which he entered, himself and his talmidim.
2 Now Yehudah, who betrayed him, also knew the place, for Yeshua often resorted there with his talmidim.
3 Yehudah then, having taken a detachment of soldiers and officers from the chief Kohanim and the Perushim, came there with lanterns, torches, and weapons.
4 Yeshua therefore, knowing all the things that were coming on him, went forth, and said to them, "Who are you looking for?"
5 They answered him, "Yeshua of Natzeret." Yeshua said to them, "I AM." Yehudah also, who betrayed him, was standing with them.
6 When therefore he said to them, "I AM," they went backward, and fell to the ground.
7 Again therefore he asked them, "Who are you looking for?" They said, "Yeshua of Natzeret."
8 Yeshua answered, "I told you that I AM. If therefore you seek me, let these go their way,"
9 that the word might be fulfilled which he spoke, "Of those whom you have given me, I have lost none."
10 Shim`on Kefa therefore, having a sword, drew it, and struck the Kohen Gadol's servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant's name was Melekh.
