²¹ Peter went down and said to the men, “I’m the one you’re looking for. Why have you come?”

²⁹ So when I was sent for, I came without raising any objection. May I ask why you sent for me?”

³⁸ Turning around, Jesus saw them following and asked, “What do you want?”

They said, “Rabbi”^(A) (which means “Teacher”), “where are you staying?”

³⁹ “Come,” he replied, “and you will see.”

So they went and saw where he was staying, and they spent that day with him. It was about four in the afternoon.

⁵¹ “What do you want me to do for you?” Jesus asked him.

The blind man said, “Rabbi,^(A) I want to see.”

⁴ Jesus, knowing all that was going to happen to him,^(A) went out and asked them, “Who is it you want?”^(B)

⁵ “Jesus of Nazareth,”^(C) they replied.

“I am he,” Jesus said. (And Judas the traitor was standing there with them.) ⁶ When Jesus said, “I am he,” they drew back and fell to the ground.

⁷ Again he asked them, “Who is it you want?”^(D)

“Jesus of Nazareth,” they said.

⁸ Jesus answered, “I told you that I am he. If you are looking for me, then let these men go.”
