John 18:7

New English Translation

Then Jesus asked them again, “Who are you looking for?” And they said, “Jesus the Nazarene.”

See the chapter Copy

He came to a town called Nazareth and lived there. Then what had been spoken by the prophets was fulfilled, that Jesus would be called a Nazarene.

Then Jesus, because he knew everything that was going to happen to him, came and asked them, “Who are you looking for?”

So when Jesus said to them, “I am he,” they retreated and fell to the ground.

Jesus replied, “I told you that I am he. If you are looking for me, let these men go.”
