Bible Question (short): Overcome by the power of God? |
Question (full): John 18:4-8 Details Jesus' arrest. Of particular interest to me in vs 6 is that the detachment of troops and the priests' officers "drew back and fell to the ground" in response to Jesus responding "I am He" to their query about who Jesus of Nazareth is. Can someone explain more to me about this? Does this mean that these people experienced the power of God to the extent that they were, for lack of a better way of communicating it, slain in the spirit and still arrested Jesus? Is the interpretation that they were overcome by the power of God correct? |
