John 18:5-6. 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.
"Jesus saith unto them, I am;" as though appropriating to himself the name of Jehovah, and "they went backward, and fell to the ground," astounded and confounded. Even though he restrained his omnipotence, he claimed the omnipotent name I AM, and before the majesty of that name they prostrated themselves upon the ground.
