John 18:5-12 They answered Him, “Jesus, from Nazareth.” Jesus replied to them, “I am He.” Judas, who was turning Him over to the Jewish authorities was standing there with them also.

AUV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁵ They answered Him, “Jesus, from Nazareth.” Jesus replied to them, “I am [He].” Judas, who was turning Him over [to the Jewish authorities] was standing there with them also. ⁶ Now when Jesus had said to them, “I am [He],” they [all] moved backward and fell to the ground. [Note: This appears to have been done by some miraculous power]. ⁷ So, He asked them again, “Who are you looking for?” And they answered, “Jesus, from Nazareth.” ⁸ Jesus said to them, “I [already] told you that I am [He]; so if you are looking for me, let these men [i.e., the apostles] go.” ⁹ [He said this] so the words He had spoken [previously] would be fulfilled [See 17:12], “I did not lose any of those men you [i.e., God] gave me.” ¹⁰ So, Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it out and struck the head priest’s slave, cutting off his right ear. Now the slave’s name was Malchus. ¹¹ Then Jesus said to Peter, “Put your sword back in its sheath. Should I not drink the cup [i.e., of suffering] the Father has given me?” ¹² So, the detachment of [Roman] soldiers, their commanding officer and the Jewish [Temple] guards arrested Jesus and tied Him up.
