What does John 18:3-6 mean? Commentary, explanation and study verse by verse.
Judas then, having received a band of men and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns and torches and weapons.
Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said unto them,Whom seek ye?
They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them,I am he. And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with them.
As soon then as he had said unto them,I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground.
