3
Then Judas, having received a detachment of troops, and officers from the chief
priests and Pharisees, came there with lanterns, torches, and weapons. 4 Jesus
therefore, knowing all things that would come upon Him, went forward and said
to them, “Whom are you seeking?” 5 They answered Him, “Jesus
of Nazareth.”
Jesus
said to them, “I am.”
And
Judas, who betrayed Him, also stood with them. 6 Now when He said to
them, “I am He,” they drew back and fell to the ground.7 Then He
asked them again, “Whom are you seeking?” And they said, “Jesus of
Nazareth.”

Jesus answered, “I have told you that I
am.
Therefore,
if you seek Me, let these go their way,”
John 18:3-8
Jesus demonstrated His power numerous times, but before His arrest, before His trial, and before His crucifixion, Jesus showed His power when the guards who came to arrest Him fell to the ground. Jesus has power over the saved and unsaved alike, power over all.
His power is victorious over the literal presence of evil. Judas, as he led the soldiers, was not demon-possessed, he was devil-possessed (John 6:70, Jesus answered them, “Did I not choose you, the twelve, and one of you is a devil?”).
When we think of the PURE EVIL that is going on in our world, we must remember that one day, Jesus will demonstrate His power over all unbelievers and over all evil, including the devil.
The final “I AM” declarative statement shows that Jesus is more powerful than man’s armies or soldiers, more powerful than betrayal and that through it all, the great “I AM” can cast any opposition onto their backs. That is power over all.
Oliver B. Greene, an American Independent evangelist who saw more than 200,000 confessions of faith between 1939 and 1968, wrote "It is not hard to believe that when Jesus declared, 'I AM," the power of the Word flattened a multitude of armed men. For the last time before His crucifixion, Jesus exercised the divine power He had used on so many other occasions...If Jesus demonstrated such power when He was about to be judged, what power will He demonstrate when He comes to judge?"
That is power over all. 
God is sovereign and no one who opposes Him and be victorious. He could have called more than twelve legions of angels (Matthew 26:53). and yet He chose to go to the cross. He could have escaped when they were knocked to the ground, but He did not.
That is power over all.
At the mere utterance of His “I AM” caused soldiers to fall. One day, just as Judas and the soldiers fell, every knee shall bow, every tongue shall confess He is Lord.
That is power over all.
Two of the pictures shown are from on Isle of Patmos, where John received his Revelation, or "unveiling", of Jesus Christ. In the apocalyptic book, John also included a third set of seven "I AM" statements.
