John 18:6
KJV
As soon then as he had said unto them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground.
NIV
When Jesus said, “I am he,” they drew back and fell to the ground.
In the KJV, it is clear that Jesus’ words “I am he” are spoken with power, throwing the band of officers backward and causing them to fall to the ground. Modern versions diminish this miracle of Christ into a mere act of men by saying the officers “drew back” (as if retreating of their own choice rather than being overcome by Christ’s power).
