John 18:5
Compare all
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.”
8 Jesus answered, “I have told you that I am He. Therefore, if you seek Me, let these go their way,”
9 that the saying might be fulfilled which He spoke, a“Of those whom You gave Me I have lost none.”  
10 aThen Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it and struck the high priest’s servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant’s name was Malchus.  
11 So Jesus said to Peter, “Put your sword into the sheath. Shall I not drink athe cup which My Father has given Me?”  

Before the High Priest

12 Then the detachment of troops and the captain and the officers of the Jews arrested Jesus and bound Him.
13 And athey led Him away to bAnnas first, for he was the father-in-law of cCaiaphas who was high priest that year.  
14 aNow it was Caiaphas who advised the Jews that it was1 expedient that one man should die for the people.

John 18:5

They answered . . . Jesus of Nazareth—just the sort of blunt, straight forward reply one expects from military men, simply acting on their instructions.

I am He—(See on John 6:20).

Judas . . . stood with them—No more is recorded here of his part of the scene, but we have found the gap painfully supplied by all the other Evangelists.



John 18:4-9

Jesus . . . knowing all things that should come—were coming.

upon him, went forth—from the shade of the trees, probably, into open view, indicating His sublime preparedness to meet His captors.

Whom seek ye?—partly to prevent a rush of the soldiery upon the disciples [BENGEL]; and see Mark 14:51-52, as showing a tendency to this: but still more as part of that courage and majesty which so overawed them. He would not wait to be taken.
