When the Jewish authorities came asking for Jesus, he answered "I am", at which they went backwards and fell to the ground (John 18:5,6). In English, this reaction of the authorities does not make sense, nor does it in Aramaic, the language Jesus would have spoken. John used the absolute form of 'ego eimi', which is the Greek translation in the Septuagint for 'Yahweh', based on a possible meaning of the tetragrammaton (YHWH). When read in the original Greek, Jesus has called himself God.

What Jewish holidays were Jesus and his disciples celebrating the night of his arrest?
In the synoptic gospels, Jesus and his disciples were celebrating the Jewish Passover on the night of his arrest; the Last Supper was their Seder meal. In John's Gospel, Jesus was arrested on the night before the Passover, thus instead of a detailed mention of the Last Supper, we have the account of Jesus washing their feet.
