John 18:7

New Century Version

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

See the chapter Copy

Knowing everything that would happen to him, Jesus went out and asked, “Who is it you are looking for?”

to a town called Nazareth, and lived there. And so what God had said through the prophets came true: “He will be called a Nazarene.”

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

“I told you that I am he,” Jesus said. “So if you are looking for me, let the others go.”
