约翰福音 18:6 CUNPSS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - John 18:1-12

The hour was now come that the captain of our salvation, who was to be made perfect by sufferings, should engage the enemy. We have here his entrance upon the encounter. The day of recompence is in his heart, and the year of his redeemed is come, and his own arm works the salvation, for he has no second. Let us turn aside now, and see this great sight. I. Our Lord Jesus, like a bold champion, takes the field first (John 18:1, 2): When he had spoken these words, preached the sermon, prayed his... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - John 18:1-11

18:1-11 When Jesus had said these things he went out with his disciples across the Kedron Valley to a place where there was a garden, into which he and his disciples entered; and Judas, his betrayer, knew the place for Jesus often met with his disciples there. So Judas took a company of soldiers, together with officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, and went there with lanterns and torches and weapons. Jesus knew the things which were going to happen to him, so he came out and said:... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - John 18:1-11

Few scenes in scripture so show us the qualities of Jesus as does the arrest in the garden. (i) It shows us his courage. At Passover time it was fun moon and the night was almost like daylight. Yet the enemies of Jesus had come with lamps and torches. Why? They did not need them to see the way. They must have thought that they would have to search among the trees and in the hillside nooks and crannies to find Jesus. So far from hiding, when they arrived, Jesus stepped out. "Who are you... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 18:6

As soon then as he had said unto them I am he ,.... Immediately upon his speaking these words, which were delivered with so much majesty and authority, and were attended with such a divine power: they went backward, and fell to the ground ; they were confounded, surprised, and intimidated, and seemed as if they would have chose rather to have fled from him, than to have apprehended him; and as they retired and went backward, they fainted away, as it were, either at the majesty of his... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - John 18:6

They went backward, and fell to the ground - None of the other evangelists mentions this very important circumstance. Our Lord chose to give them this proof of his infinite power, that they might know that their power could not prevail against him if he chose to exert his might, seeing that the very breath of his mouth confounded, drove back, and struck them down to the earth. Thus by the blast of God they might have perished, and by the breath of his nostrils they might have been consumed: ... 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 18:4-8

The moral courage of Jesus. We see this if we consider— I. WHAT HE MIGHT HAVE DONE UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES There is no virtue in not doing thus if we cannot do otherwise. But what could Jesus do now? 1. He might have not visited the garden on this night . He knew all that was coming. He knew that the devil of piltering and covetousness had entered Judas, and that he was then in the city betraying him to his thirsty and cruel foes. He entered not the garden in... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 18:5-6

They answered him, Jesus the Nazarene. Jesus saith unto them, I am he . Then, in all probability, the miscreant, the son of perdition, said," Hail, Master!" and kissed him; and there followed before and after his act the sublime replies given, "Companion, wherefore art thou come?" and "Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss?" John, however, overwhelmed with the majesty and spontaneous self-devotion of the Lord, calls attention to the language he addressed to the "baud" which... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - John 18:6

They went backward ... - The cause of their retiring in this manner is not mentioned. Various things might have produced it. The frank, open, and fearless manner in which Jesus addressed them may have convinced them of his innocence, and deterred them from prosecuting their wicked attempt. His disclosure of himself was sudden and unexpected; and while they perhaps anticipated that he would make an effort to escape, they were amazed at his open and bold profession. Their consciences reproved... read more
