To the Lord's question, his foes replying that they sought Jesus of Nazareth, he calmly replied, "I am he." Then follows. scene designed to show all the world that the Lord laid down his own life. His foemen were powerless in his hands.

Then the Lord submitted himself "as. lamb to the slaughter," and his power is not again exerted until he rises from the tomb, except to heal the smitten servant of the high priest.

This probably occurred just before what John records in verses 5th And 6th.
