:''Then Jesus, knowing all that would happen to him, came forward and said to them, “Whom do you seek?” They answered him, “Jesus of Nazareth.” Jesus said to them, '''“I am he.”''' Judas, who betrayed him, was standing with them.

'''Why did they fall to the ground?''' Because the "I AM" (God himself) 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. | '''Why did they fall to the ground?'''

===Before the High Priest | ==At his arrest== | ||
At the betrayal of Jesus by Judas, Luke tells of Jesus healing the servant of the high priest: | |||
:''And when those who were around him saw what would follow, they said, “Lord, shall we strike with the sword?” 50 And one of them struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his right ear. 51 But Jesus said, “No more of this!” And he touched his ear and healed him.<ref>The Holy Bible: English Standard Version (Wheaton: Standard Bible Society, 2001), Lk 22:49–51.</ref> | |||
Jesus was still God when he restored the man's ear, thereby disproving William Branham's interpretation. | |||
==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) | :''Again the high priest asked him, and said unto him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?
