What was the first thing Jesus said to the disciples when they cried out in fear?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: 'Take heart; it is I. Do not be afraid.'
Jesus immediately spoke to reassure them, identifying Himself and commanding them not to be afraid. The phrase 'It is I' (Ego Eimi) is the same Greek expression used for the divine name 'I AM'.
