1. Having said these words, יהושע went out with His taught ones beyond the Qiḏron torrent, where there was a garden, into which He and His taught ones entered.
2. And Yehuḏah, who delivered Him up, also knew the place, because יהושע often met there with His taught ones.
3. Yehuḏah, then, having received the company of soldiers, and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, came there with lanterns, and torches, and weapons.
4. יהושע, then, knowing all that would come upon Him, went forward and said to them, “Whom do you seek?”
5. They answered Him, “יהושע of Natsareth.” יהושע said to them, “I am.” And Yehuḏah, who delivered Him up, was also standing with them.
6. When, therefore, He said to them, “I am,” they drew back and fell to the ground.
7. Once more He asked them, “Whom do you seek?” And they said, “יהושע of Natsareth.”
8. יהושע answered, “I said to you that I am. If, then, you seek Me, allow these to go,”
9. in order that the word might be filled which He spoke, “Of those whom You have given Me, I have lost none.”
