No traces of His recent suffering were to be seen as the Saviour stepped forth to meet His betrayer. Standing in advance of His disciples, He asked the mob: "Whom seek ye?" They answered, "Jesus of Nazareth." Jesus replied, "I am He." John 18:4, 5. As Jesus spoke these words, the angel who had recently ministered to Him moved between Him and the mob. A divine light illuminated the Saviour's face, and a dovelike form overshadowed Him.

Idet Frelseren trådte frem for at møde sin forræder, sås ingen ydre tegn på de lidelser, han nylig havde gennemgået. Jesus gik hen foran sine disciple og sagde til skaren: "Hvem leder I efter?" De svarede ham: "Jesus fra Nazaret". Jesus sagde til dem: "Det er mig". Joh. 18,4-5. Idet Jesus udtalte dette, trådte den engel, som kort forinden havde ydet ham tjeneste, hen imellem ham og pøbelen. Et guddommeligt lys oplyste Frelserens ansigt og en duelignende skikkelse overskyggede ham.
