So once more, Jesus asked them, “Who are you looking for?” As they stood up, they answered, “Jesus of Nazareth.”
Jesus, knowing full well what was about to happen, went out to the garden entrance to meet them. Stepping forward, he asked, “Who are you looking for?”
So he settled his family in the village of Nazareth, fulfilling the prophecy that he would be known as the “Branch.”
And the moment Jesus spoke the words, “I am he,” the mob fell backward to the ground!
Jesus replied, “I told you that I am the one you’re looking for, so if you want me, let these men go home.”
