The guards went backward, and fell to the ground

Saint John -Chapter 18

I am he; they went backward, and fell to the ground. J-J Tissot

[1] Haec cum dixisset Jesus, egressus est cum discipulis suis trans torrentem Cedron, ubi erat hortus, in quem introivit ipse, et discipuli ejus.
When Jesus had said these things, he went forth with his disciples over the brook Cedron, where there was a garden, into which he entered with his disciples.

[2] Sciebat autem et Judas, qui tradebat eum, locum : quia frequenter Jesus convenerat illuc cum discipulis suis.
And Judas also, who betrayed him, knew the place; because Jesus had often resorted thither together with his disciples.

[3] Judas ergo cum accepisset cohortem, et a pontificibus et pharisaeis ministros, venit illuc cum laternis, et facibus, et armis.
Judas therefore having received a band of soldiers and servants from the chief priests and the Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns and torches and weapons.

[4] Jesus itaque sciens omnia quae ventura erant super eum, processit, et dixit eis : Quem quaeritis?
Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said to them: Whom seek ye?

[5] Responderunt ei : Jesum Nazarenum. Dicit eis Jesus : Ego sum. Stabat autem et Judas, qui tradebat eum, cum ipsis.
They answered him: Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith to them: I am he. And Judas also, who betrayed him, stood with them.

[6] Ut ergo dixit eis : Ego sum : abierunt retrorsum, et ceciderunt in terram.
As soon therefore as he had said to them: I am he; they went backward, and fell to the ground.

[7] Iterum ergo interrogavit eos : Quem quaeritis? Illi autem dixerunt : Jesum Nazarenum.
Again therefore he asked them: Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth.

[8] Respondit Jesus : Dixi vobis, quia ego sum : si ergo me quaeritis, sinite hos abire.
Jesus answered, I have told you that I am he. If therefore you seek me, let these go their way.

[9] Ut impleretur sermo, quem dixit : Quia quos dedisti mihi, non perdidi ex eis quemquam.
That the word might be fulfilled which he said: Of them whom thou hast given me, I have not lost any one.

Totus tuus ego sum 

Et omnia mea tua sunt;

Tecum semper tutus sum:
Ad Jesum per Mariam
