John 18:6

Good News Translation

When Jesus said to them, “I am he,” they moved back and fell to the ground.

See the chapter Copy

May everyone who hates Zion be defeated and driven back.

When evil people attack me and try to kill me, they stumble and fall.

May those who try to kill me be completely defeated and confused. May those who are happy because of my troubles be turned back and disgraced.

“Jesus of Nazareth,” they answered. “I am he,” he said. Judas, the traitor, was standing there with them.

Again Jesus asked them, “Who is it you are looking for?” “Jesus of Nazareth,” they said.
