4 Yesu, hali akijua yote yatakayompata, akatokea, akawauliza, “Mnamtafuta nani?”
5 Nao wakamjibu, “Yesu Mnazareti!” Yesu akawaambia, “Mimi ndiye.” Msaliti Yuda alikuwa amesimama hapo pamoja nao.
6 Basi, Yesu alipowaambia: “Mimi ndiye,” wakarudi nyuma, wakaanguka chini.
7 Yesu akawauliza tena, “Mnamtafuta nani?” Wakamjibu, “Yesu Mnazareti!”
8 Yesu akawaambia, “Nimekwisha waambieni kwamba mimi ndiye. Basi, kama mnanitafuta mimi, waacheni hawa waende zao.” (
9 Alisema hayo ili yapate kutimia yale aliyosema: “Wale ulionipa sikumpoteza hata mmoja.”)
10 Simoni Petro alikuwa na upanga; basi, akauchomoa, akamkata sikio la kulia mtumishi wa kuhani mkuu. Mtumishi huyo aliitwa Malko.
