John 18:9

John 18:9

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.

John 18:10 >>

That the saying might be fulfilled which he spake, Of them which thou gavest me have I lost none—The reference is to such sayings as John 6:39; John 17:12; showing how conscious the Evangelist was, that in reporting his Lord's former sayings, he was giving them not in substance merely, but in form also. Observe, also, how the preservation of the disciples on this occasion is viewed as part that deeper preservation undoubtedly intended in the saying quoted.

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.
