18 After he’d said all that, Yeshua (Jesus; Grk. Yesus) and his followers left Yerushalem (Jerusalem) proper and over the Kidron stream towards a garden that he and his followers entered. 2 And Yehudah (Judas; Grk. Yudas) (the one who would hand him over) also knew the place because Yeshua and his followers often met there. 3 Meanwhile Yehudah had met with the soldiers and servants of the chief priests and the Farisaios party, and they all started coming into the garden with lanterns and flaming torches and weapons. 4 Yeshua who already knew what was going to happen to him, came forward and asked them, “Who are you all looking for?”

5 And they answered, “Yeshua—the one from Nazaret.”

Yeshua responded, “I am the one.”

Yehudah, the one handing him over, was standing there among them. 6 But when Yeshua had said that he is the one, they backed away and fell to the ground.[fn] 7 So he asked them again, “Who are you all looking for?”

And they answered, “Yeshua—the one from Nazaret.”

8 Yeshua responded, “I already told you all that I am the one. So if it’s me that you’re looking for, let these others leave.” 9 (In this way, the statement was fulfilled that Yeshua had said previously: ‘I didn’t lose any of the ones that you gave me.’)[fn]

10 Then Shim’on (Simon) Kefa (Peter; Grk. Petros) drew the sword that he was carrying and swiped at the servant of the high priest, cutting off his right ear. The servant’s name was Malkos. 11 But Yeshua said to Kefa, “Put your sword back in its sheath. I need to proceed with the plan that the father has prepared for me—I can’t just avoid the suffering.”[ref]
