Yohana 18:4-9
4
Yesu akijua yale yote yatakayompata, akajitokeza mbele yao akawauliza, “Mnamtafuta nani?”
5
Wao wakamjibu, “Yesu wa Nazareti.” Yesu akawajibu, “Mimi ndiye.” Yuda, yule aliyemsaliti alikuwa amesimama pamoja nao.
6
Yesu alipowaambia, “Mimi ndiye,” walirudi nyuma na kuanguka chini!
7
Akawauliza tena, “Mnamtafuta nani?” Nao wakamjibu, “Yesu wa Nazareti.”
8
Yesu akawaambia, “Nimekwisha kuwaambia kuwa, mimi ndiye; kwa hiyo kama mnanitafuta mimi, waacheni hawa watu waende zao.”
9
Hii ilikuwa ili litimie lile neno alilosema, “Sikumpoteza hata mmoja miongoni mwa wale ulionipa.”
