Commentary on John 18:5

Theological / Devotional

Jesus of Nazareth. See on Matt. 2:23. The title is frequently applied to Jesus (Matt. 26:71; Mark 10:47; 16:6; Luke 4:34; 18:37; 24:19; John 19:19).

I am he. The “he” is supplied. The “I am” stands without the pronoun in the Greek and may have been designedly used with its deeper implications, as in ch. 8:58 (see comment there).
