‏ John 18:2-11

2 aBasi Yuda, yule aliyemsaliti alipafahamu mahali hapo kwani Yesu alikuwa akikutana humo na wanafunzi wake mara kwa mara. 3 bHivyo Yuda akaja bustanini. Aliongoza kikosi cha askari wa Kirumi, na baadhi ya maafisa kutoka kwa viongozi wa makuhani na Mafarisayo. Nao walikuwa wamechukua taa, mienge na silaha.

4 cYesu akijua yale yote yatakayompata, akajitokeza mbele yao akawauliza, “Mnamtafuta nani?”

5 dWao wakamjibu, “Yesu wa Nazareti.”

Yesu akawajibu, “Mimi ndiye.” Yuda, yule aliyemsaliti alikuwa amesimama pamoja nao. 6Yesu alipowaambia, “Mimi ndiye,” walirudi nyuma na kuanguka chini!

7 eAkawauliza tena, “Mnamtafuta nani?”

Nao wakamjibu, “Yesu wa Nazareti.”

 8Yesu akawaambia, “Nimekwisha kuwaambia kuwa, mimi ndiye; kwa hiyo kama mnanitafuta mimi, waacheni hawa watu waende zao.” 9 fHii ilikuwa ili litimie lile neno alilosema, “Sikumpoteza hata mmoja miongoni mwa wale ulionipa.”

10 gSimoni Petro, aliyekuwa na upanga, akaufuta na kumkata sikio la kuume mtumishi wa kuhani mkuu. Jina la mtumishi huyo aliitwa Malko.

11 hYesu akamwambia Petro, “Rudisha upanga wako kwenye ala yake. Je, hainipasi kukinywea kikombe alichonipa Baba?”
