John 18:3-12

3So Judah, having taken a band of soldiers and some officers from the ruling kohanim and Pharisees, comes there with lanterns, torches, and weapons.

4Then 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.

6So when Yeshua said to them, “I am,” they drew back and fell to the ground.

7So again He asked them, “Who are you looking for?” And they said, “Yeshua ha-Natzrati.”

8Yeshua answered, “I told you, I am! If you’re looking for Me, let these men go their way.”

9This was so the word would be fulfilled that He spoke: “I did not lose one of those You have given Me.”

10Then 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.

11So Yeshua said to Peter, “Put the sword into the sheath! The cup the Father has given Me—shall I never drink it?”

12Then the band of soldiers, with the captain and the officers of the Judeans, seized Yeshua and tied Him up.
