Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - John 18:1-40

III. “I Lay Down My Life, That I Might Take it Again.” Chapters 18-21 CHAPTER 18 1. The Arrest in the Garden. (John 18:1-11 .) 2. Before Annas and Caiaphas; Peter’s Denial. (John 18:12-27 .) 3. Before Pilate. (John 18:28-38 .) 4. Not this Man, But Barabbas. (John 18:39-40 .) The hour of His suffering had now come. With His disciples He went across the brook Cedron into the garden. It is the Kidron mentioned frequently in Old Testament history. When David fled from his own son Absalom, he... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - John 18:1-40

BETRAYED AND ARRESTED (vs.1-12) The Son of God goes calmly, steadily on to the great conquest of Calvary, each step of the way perfectly measured by divine wisdom. The fact of His going into the garden of Gethsemane is mentioned, and His disciples being with Him, but nothing is said here of His prayer of agony in the garden, being prostrate in supplication "with strong crying and tears." For that prayer belongs to the lowliness of His spotless Manhood, not to the sublime glory of His deity.... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - John 18:1-40

AT MAN ’S JUDGMENT SEAT A way to study this lesson is to compare the text with the corresponding places in the synoptics and observe what is original to John. Any “Harmony” of the Gospels would furnish valuable aid. For example, it is John who named “the brook Cedron” or “Kidron,” and identifies the “garden” (John 18:1 ). The others speak of “a place called Gethsemane,” etc., but nothing more. He alone tells us that Judas “knew the place,” and why (John 18:2 ), John 18:4-8 is new, and one... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - John 18:1-40

The True Kingdom Joh 18:36 Jesus Christ was now approaching the termination of his earthly ministry. He who came to bear witness of the truth was standing for judgment at a human tribunal: the Judge of universal man stood as a criminal before Caiaphas, Herod, and Pilate! Society had mistaken its best friend for an impostor and had thrown out of its breast the Being who alone could ensure its purity and repose. But had he not disciples? Why did not these men take up arms in their Master's... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - John 18:4-12

Jesus, therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said unto them, Whom seek ye? (5) They answered him , Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, I am he. And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with them. (6) As soon then as he had said unto them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground. (7) Then asked he them again, Whom seek ye ? and they said, Jesus of Nazareth. (8) Jesus answered, I have told you that I am he, if therefore ye seek me, let these... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - John 18:1-12

1-12 Sin began in the garden of Eden, there the curse was pronounced, there the Redeemer was promised; and in a garden that promised Seed entered into conflict with the old serpent. Christ was buried also in a garden. Let us, when we walk in our gardens, take occasion from thence to mediate on Christ's sufferings in a garden. Our Lord Jesus, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth and asked, Whom seek ye? When the people would have forced him to a crown, he withdrew, ch. John... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - John 18:1-99

John 18 HAVING COMMUNED WITH the Father and expressed His desires, Jesus went forth to meet His foes, who were led by the traitor, and then to the death that He should die. True to the character of this Gospel, striking witness is borne to His omniscience. He went forth in the full knowledge of “all things that should come upon Him” not only of outward circumstances but of the inward weight of all involved. If we refer back to Joh_6:6 , and Joh_13:3 , we shall find statements of similar... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - John 18:6-9

John CHRIST AND HIS CAPTORS Joh_18:6 - Joh_18:9 . This remarkable incident is narrated by John only. It fits in with the purpose which he himself tells us governed his selection of the incidents which he records. ‘These things are written,’ says he, near the end of the Gospel, ‘that ye might believe that Jesus is the Son of God, and that, believing, ye might have life in His name.’ The whole of the peculiarities of the substance of John’s Gospel are to be explained on the two grounds that... read more
