John 18:8-17 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

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.”

10. Then Shim‛on Kĕpha, having a sword, drew it and struck the high priest’s servant, and cut off his right ear. And the servant’s name was Meleḵ.

11. Then יהושע said to Kĕpha, “Put your sword into the sheath. Shall I not drink the cup which My Father has given Me?”

12. Then the company of soldiers and the commander and the officers of the Yehuḏim seized יהושע and bound Him,

13. and they led Him away to Ḥanan first, for he was the father-in-law of Qayapha who was high priest that year.

14. Now Qayapha was the one who gave counsel to the Yehuḏim that it was better that one man should die for the people.

15. And Shim‛on Kĕpha followed יהושע, with another taught one, and that taught one was known to the high priest, and went with יהושע into the courtyard of the high priest.

16. But Kĕpha was standing outside at the door. So the other taught one, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to her who kept the door, and brought Kĕpha in.

17. Then the servant girl who kept the door said to Kĕpha, “Are you also one of this Man’s taught ones?” He said, “I am not.”
