²¹ Peter went down to the men, and said, "Behold, I am he whom you seek. Why have you come?"

⁵¹ Jesus asked him, "What do you want me to do for you?" The blind man said to him, "Rhabboni,{Rhabboni is a transliteration of the Hebrew word for "great teacher."} that I may see again."

³⁸ Jesus turned, and saw them following, and said to them, "What are you looking for?" They said to him, "Rabbi" (which is to say, being interpreted, Teacher), "where are you staying?"

³⁹ He said to them, "Come, and see." They came and saw where he was staying, and they stayed with him that day. It was about the tenth hour.{4:00 PM.}

⁴ Jesus therefore, knowing all the things that were happening to him, went forth, and said to them, "Who are you looking for?"

⁵ They answered him, "Jesus of Nazareth." Jesus said to them, "I AM." Judas also, who betrayed him, was standing with them.

⁶ When therefore he said to them, "I AM," they went backward, and fell to the ground.

⁷ Again therefore he asked them, "Who are you looking for?" They said, "Jesus of Nazareth."

⁸ Jesus answered, "I told you that I AM. If therefore you seek me, let these go their way,"

²⁹ Therefore also I came without complaint when I was sent for. I ask therefore, why did you send for me?"
