Betrayed and arrest

John 18:1-12

When he had finished praying, Jesus left with his disciples and crossed the Kidron Valley. On the other side there was a garden, and he and his disciples went into it.

Now Judas, who betrayed him, knew the place, because Jesus had often met there with his disciples. So Judas came to the garden, guiding a detachment of soldiers and some officials from the chief priests and the Pharisees. They were carrying torches, lanterns and weapons.

Jesus, knowing all that was going to happen to him, went out and asked them, “Who is it you want?”

“Jesus of Nazareth,” they replied.

“I am he,” Jesus said. (And Judas the traitor was standing there with them.) When Jesus said, “I am he,” they drew back and fell to the ground.

Jesus answered, “I told you that I am he. If you are looking for me, then let these men go.” This happened so that the words he had spoken would be fulfilled: “I have not lost one of those you gave me.”

Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it and struck the high priest’s servant, cutting off his right ear. (The servant’s name was Malchus.)

Jesus commanded Peter, “Put your sword away! Shall I not drink the cup the Father has given me?”

Then the detachment of soldiers with its commander and the Jewish officials arrested Jesus. They bound him.

John omits Jesus' prayer in the garden. But he tells us the name of the slave, and that the swordsman was Peter.

Why?

Jesus did not afraid they came to arrest him, Jesus said "I am he" with power so they drew back and fell to the ground.

Jesus even ordered peter to draw the sword, for Jesus had to obey the mission of the Lord.

Judas gave information to the Jewish officials and help them to identify who is Jesus. He is a traitor.

Give thanks to Jesus Christ.

耶穌被抓都是耶穌主動同意的，不是被迫的。

耶穌選一個猶大已經知道的地方。一切主動都是耶穌，人只有接招的份。我是在約翰福音出現多次。"我是"就是耶和華，這些人承受不住的。表示他們根本無法捉拿耶穌。可不可捉拿耶穌由耶穌決定。要捉拿誰?也是只有耶穌，讓其他人走吧。應驗耶穌的話，神所賜的人都受保護。

彼得要抵抗，抵抗表示應付不了，才要動刀。耶穌主動把杯接下，五個方面來看整個場面都是耶穌在掌管。耶穌是一切文化、未來的掌管者，我們不可能可以掌管什麼！所有的都在耶穌的掌控中。我們還有什麼好擔心呢?

How?

There is the love of Jesus and the sin in Judas who was grasped by his own mind and sonvinced by the devil.
