This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Fell to the ground (epesan chamai). Second aorist active indicative of piptō with first aorist ending (-an). This recoil made them stumble. But why did they step back? Was it the former claim of Jesus (I am, egō eimi) to be on an equality with God (Joh 8:58; Joh 13:19) or mere embarrassment and confusion or supernatural power exerted by Jesus? B adds Iēsous which must mean simply: “I am Jesus.”
