John 18:3-7 Amplified Bible (AMP)

3. So Judas, obtaining and taking charge of the band of soldiers and some guards (attendants) of the high priests and Pharisees, came there with lanterns and torches and weapons.

4. Then Jesus, knowing all that was about to befall Him, went out to them and said, Whom are you seeking? [Whom do you want?]

5. They answered Him, Jesus the Nazarene. Jesus said to them, I am He. Judas, who was betraying Him, was also standing with them.

6. When Jesus said to them, I am He, they went backwards (drew back, lurched backward) and fell to the ground.

7. Then again He asked them, Whom are you seeking? And they said, Jesus the Nazarene.
