Contextual Overview
1 JESUS said these things and went out with his disciples across the brook Kidron, to a place where there was a garden, where he and his disciples entered. 2 Judas the traitor also knew that place; because Jesus and his disciples frequently gathered there. 3 Judas, therefore, took a company of soldiers, and also guards from the high priests and the Pharisees, and he came there with torches and lamps and weapons. 4 Jesus, knowing everything that was to happen, went out and said to them. Whom do you want? 5 They said to him, Jesus the Nazarene. Jesus said to them, I am he. Judas the traitor was also standing with them. 6 When Jesus said to them, I am he, they drew back and fell to the ground. 7 Jesus again asked them, Whom do you want? They said, Jesus the Nazarene. 8 Jesus said to them, I have told you that I am he; if then you want me, let these men go away; 9 That the word which he said might be fulfilled, Of those whom you gave me, I have lost not even one. 10 But Simon Peter had a sword, and he drew it and struck the high priest''s servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant''s name was Malech.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Then asked he them again, whom seek ye?.... This supposes them to be risen up again and on their feet; no hurt being done to them; for Christ always did good, and not hurt, to the bodies of men; he never disabled any, or took away life, or limb: he only did this to show his power, and not to do them any real damage; and the same divine person that struck them down, suffered them to rise, and gave them power and strength to get up; which showed his great clemency and goodness: but they, on the contrary, persisted in their wicked intentions, and were still seeking after him; a plain proof of that judicial hardness of heart, under which they were; and that even miracles wrought will not bring hardened sinners to repentance without powerful and efficacious grace. When Christ, as fearless of them, and to show that this action he had no design to make his escape them, though he could easily have done it, and that he was willing to be apprehended by them, puts the question a second time, and asks them who they were seeking for. Something like this Josephus b reports concerning Elisha the prophet, though not repeated as here, nor attended with the like effect: he relates that Elisha having requested of God that he would smite his enemies with blindness, and that being granted he went into the midst of them, and asked them, Ïινα εÏιζηÏÎ¿Ï Î½ÏÎµÏ Î·Î»Î¸Î¿Î½, "whom do ye come to seek?" they say Elisha the prophet: he promised them to deliver him to them, if they would follow him into the city, where he was; and so they being blinded by God, both in their sight and in their mind, followed the prophet.
They said Jesus of Nazareth; having recovered their spirits, and being hardened in desperate malice and wickedness, impudently make this reply to him; nor would they, notwithstanding this instance of his power, own him to be the Messiah; but still contemptuously style him Jesus of Nazareth.
