Subject: Overcome by the power of God? |
Bible Note: Greetings Jensen! I can give you a very literal translation of the Greek text for John 18:6, but I'm not sure it will help you a lot. "Then, when He said to them, 'I am', they went unto the back and they fell to the ground." The phrase translated "they went unto the back" seems to have the meaning 'they turned back' or 'they withdrew'. The capital 'h' will depend upon how one reads the 'ego eimi'. It can means simply "I am (he)" in response to their statement. However, it is also used as a form of God's "I am" in Exodus. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
