ヨハネによる福音書 18:2-5 JC

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - John 18:5

Jesus of Nazareth - They did not say this till after Judas kissed Christ, which was the sign which he had agreed with the soldiers, etc., to give them, that they might know whom they were to seize: see Matthew 26:48 . Though some harmonists place the kiss after what is spoken in the ninth verse. read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - John 18:3

Verse 3 3.Judeas, therefore, having received a band of soldiers. That Judeas came accompanied by soldiers and by so large a retinue, is a sign of a bad conscience, which always trembles without any cause. It is certain that the band of soldiers was borrowed from the governor, who also sent a captain at the head of a thousand soldiers; for, on account of sudden mutinies, a garrison was stationed in the city, and the governor himself kept a body-guard, wherever he was. The rest were officers sent... read more

Verse 4 4.Jesus therefore, hnowing. The Evangelist states more clearly with what readiness Christ went forward to death, but, at the same time, describes the great power which he exercised by a single word, in order to inform us that wicked men had no power over him, except so far as he gave permission. read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - John 18:5

Verse 5 5.It is I. He replies mildly that he is the person whom they seek, and yet, as if they had been struck down by a violent tempest, or rather by a thunderbolt, he lays them prostrate on the ground. There was no want of power in him, therefore, to restrain their hands, if he had thought proper; but he wished to obey his Father, by whose decree he knew that he was called to die. We may infer from this how dreadful and alarming to the wicked the voicc of Christ will be, when he shall ascend... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 18:1-2

Gethsemane. The mind of man is naturally interested in places, not so much for their own sake, as for the sake of associations connected with them. Religions have their sacred places: the Jew cannot forget Jerusalem; the Mohammedan venerates the holy Mecca; and the Christian regards Gethsemane with a tender and pathetic interest. I. THE GARDEN WAS TO THE MINDS OF THE TWELVE A PLACE OF HOLY INTERCOURSE WITH THEIR LORD . "Jesus ofttimes resorted thither... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 18:1-2

A hallowed spot. There are depths and unique things in this Gospel which make it easily to be accounted for that some should reckon it the choicest of the Gospels. It has what the others have not; but when we compare the others with it, to look for their peculiar excellences, then we find how the others have what this Gospel lacks. One would have thought beforehand that John would have enlarged on the mysteries and sorrows of Gethsemane, but, strangely enough, he passes them over without a... read more

The apprehension of Jesus. The crisis has come at last. I. THE SCENE OF THE ARREST . "He went forth with his disciples over the brook Kedron, where was a garden, into which he entered, and his disciples." 1. The garden was on the slope of Mount Olivet , and therefore outside Jerusalem . 2. He did not resort to it for the purpose of hiding himself from his enemies ; for Judas , the traitor , knew the place . It was to be the scene of his prayers and his... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 18:2

Now Judas also, who was betraying him (notice present tense in contrast with ὁ παράδους of Matt, John 10:4 ), knew the place: because oftentimes Jesus resorted (literally, was assembled there ) thither with his disciples . Luke tells us that during this very week ( Luke 21:37 ) they had passed their nights ( ηὐλίζετο ) on the "Mount of Olives," and it is most likely that Judas conjectured that they had gone thither again to pass the night. The fact here mentioned by John,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 18:3

Judas therefore , because he knew the place, was able treacherously to use his knowledge. Having received the cohort , ἡ σπεῖρα is used for the lemon or portion of the legion of soldiers, who, under the direction of the Roman procurator, garrisoned the Tower of Antonia, which dominated the north-east temple courts. The article ( τὴν ) is probably used because the χιλίαρχος , military tribune, chief captain, or commander of the thousand men, had ( John 18:12 ) accompanied the... read more
