'''
Why did they fall to the ground?''' Because the "I AM" was standing in front of them. When he revealed to them who He really was, just for even a moment, the force of the power that lay in Him knocked them to the ground.


When Jesus Christ left the Garden of Gethsemane, he was still God.  And when He went to the cross, he was still God in flesh.

===Before the High Priest===
:''Again the high priest asked him, and said unto him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed? And Jesus said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven. Then the high priest rent his clothes.''  (Mark 14:61b-63a)
 
When Jesus Christ left the Garden of Gethsemane, he was still the "I AM".  When he was before the Priests, he was still the "I AM", the Son of the Blessed, and the Christ.  And when He went to the cross, he was still God in flesh.
