John 18:7

New International Reader's Version

He asked them again, “Who do you want?” “Jesus of Nazareth,” they said.

See the chapter Copy

There he lived in a town called Nazareth. So what the prophets had said about Jesus came true. They had said that he would be called a Nazarene.

Jesus knew everything that was going to happen to him. So he went out and asked them, “Who do you want?”

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

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