John 18:10 ESV

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 18:10

Then Simon Peter having a sword ,.... Girt about him, which he either wore in common, or particularly at the feast, as the Galilaeans are said to do, to preserve them from thieves and wild beasts by the way; or was one of the two the disciples had with them in the garden; or what Peter purposely furnished himself with to defend his master, taking a hint from what was said by him, Luke 22:36 ; drew it ; before Christ could give an answer to the question put by his disciples, whether... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - John 18:10

Having a sword - See the note on Luke 22:36 . Cut off his right ear - He probably designed to have cloven his scull in two, but God turned it aside, and only permitted the ear to be taken off; and this he would not have suffered, but only that he might have the opportunity of giving them a most striking proof of his Divinity in working an astonishing miracle on the occasion: see the notes on Matthew 26:51-56 ; (note). The other three evangelists mention this transaction; but... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - John 18:10

Verse 10 10.Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it. The Evangelist now describes the foolish zeal of Peter, who attempted to defend his Master in an unlawful manner. Boldly and courageously, indeed, he incurs great risk on Christ’s account; but as he does not consider what his calling demands, and what God permits, his action is so far from deserving praise, that he is severely blamed by Christ. But let us learn that, in the person of Peter, Christ condemns every thing that men dare to... 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

Then Simon Peter . The other evangelists simply tell us that one of the number of the disciples performed the following act. The οὖν here is introduced between Simon and Peter, as if to imply that it was not merely Simon son of Jonas, but Simon the Rock, the man of mighty impulsive passion, ready, as he said a few hours since, to go with his Master to prison and to death. The name and identification of Peter with the brave man who struck at least one blow for his Master, is a proof, not... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 18:10

The vanity of violence. Here we have a peculiarly valuable illustration of the vanity of violence. Over and above the wickedness of violence, there is the uselessness of it. Men arm themselves with all sorts of deadly weapons, and go out against each other; and what is the good of it all? Man was not made for anything requiring violence or extraordinary exertion. He has neither the muscles, the claws, nor the fangs of the beast of prey. Man gains his proper results by the industrious hand,... read more
