There is a lot that people miss in the account of the Garden of Gethsemene - I will add my observations in brackets...
John 18
4Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said unto them, Whom seek ye?
5They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them,
I am he.
[The
he is italicised as it is implied but not present. Jesus says I AM]
And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with them.
6As soon then as he had said unto them, I am
he,
they went backward, and fell to the ground.
[for the avoidance of doubt, Jesus speaks His name (I AM) and nobody can stand in His presence. Nobody could have taken Jesus unless He allowed it].
7Then asked he them again, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth.
8Jesus answered, I have told you that I am
he: if therefore ye seek me, let these go their way:
9That the saying might be fulfilled, which he spake, Of them which thou gavest me have I lost none.
10Then Simon Peter having a sword drew it, and smote the high priest's servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus.
11Then said Jesus unto Peter, Put up thy sword into the sheath:
the cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?
[Jesus's will is aligned to His Fathers].
*p.s. no Church Fathers were referenced during this incident
