John 18:4

John 18:4

2 And Judas, who betrayed Him, also knew the place; ^afor Jesus often met there with His disciples.

3 ^aThen 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, ^aknowing all things that would come upon Him, went forward and said to them, “Whom are you seeking?”

5 They answered Him, ^a“Jesus of Nazareth.” Jesus said to them, “I am He.” And Judas, who ^bbetrayed 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.”

Knowing all the things that were coming upon him (eidwv panta ta erxomena ep auton). Mentioned already in John 13:1. He was not taken by surprise. The surrender and death of Jesus were voluntary acts, though the guilt of Judas and the rest remains.
