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.”
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.
