The verses around it, from John 18.

1 After Jesus had spoken these words, He went out with His disciples across the Kidron Valley, where they entered a garden.

2 Now Judas His betrayer also knew the place, because Jesus had often met there with His disciples.

3 So Judas brought a band of soldiers and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees. They arrived at the garden carrying lanterns, torches, and weapons.

4 Jesus, knowing all that was coming upon Him, stepped forward and asked them, “Whom are you seeking?”

5 “Jesus of Nazareth,” they answered. Jesus said, “I am He.” And Judas His betrayer was standing there with them.

6 When Jesus said, “I am He,” they drew back and fell to the ground.

7 So He asked them again, “Whom are you seeking?” “Jesus of Nazareth,” they answered.
