John 18:4-9

4 Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said unto them,Whom seek ye?

5 They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them,I am he. And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with them.

6 As soon then as he had said unto them,I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground.

7 Then asked he them again,Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth.

8 Jesus answered,I have told you that I am he: if therefore ye seek me, let these go their way:

9 That the saying might be fulfilled, which he spake,Of them which thou gavest me have I lost none.
