They were from the high priests, the scribes, and the elders.Matt 26:47; Luke 22:47; John 18:3 44 Now the betrayer personally had given them a signal, saying, “The one I kiss ^{▼▼People customarily greeted their friends with a kiss.} is the man.

Jesus said to them, “I am he.” Judas, the man who betrayed him, was standing with them.

6 When Jesus ^{▼▼Lit. he} told them, “I am he,” they backed away and fell to the ground.
