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.”
