When Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with his disciples over the brook Cedron, where was a garden, into the which he entered, and his disciples.
---This is right after the prayer of John 17...for the
son of perdition...was not there for Had he heard that prayer he might have changed...but he was led away with satan; hence, a son of perdition...there are daughters of perdition as well...
2 And Judas also, which betrayed him, knew the place: for Jesus ofttimes resorted thither with his disciples.
3 Judas then, having received a band of men and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns and torches and weapons.
---Now Jesus had like this place to reside in which a type of secret place for oftentimes Pharisees and the High Priest would seek him out but couldn't find him...for this HAD to be a SECRET place...so and why Judas has to LEAD them there...with lantern, torches, and weapons...WEAPONS for HE whom raised the dead...EVIL my friends in ALL degrees...small and great, within and without and back in then back out...for Jesus SAID...
John 6:70 Jesus
answered them,
Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil?...Hence He spoke of Judas Iscariot...the whole time...
***Note: lucifer was the minister of music in Heaven and got the stupid idea that he could over throw The Almighty God and rule His Kingdom...an angel with all the knowledge in the creation of their ways...he that he could overcome God...when there is no way possible...yeah s was the minster of music in heaven...and here judas Iscariot is the treasurer why he thought it was a waste to use the box of ointment on him when yet as stupid as s was God has all the money in the world...yet never once in his mind did it cross to give it to the poor in his heart...for all was a lie to Jesus Christ of which he spoke...and yes he was always shaking inside and really when he went to the High Priest when he turned him in for only 30 pieces of Silver...so the minister of music and the treasurer and the d is always around in the biggest events of the TRUE GOD...
4 Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said unto them, Whom seek ye?
---He was NOT afraid and this baffled Judas Iscariot...for he was afraid the whole time shaking for he was about the one is the father of ALL lies and of EVIL fear...NOT the KIND that brings life but Death to the Flesh then DEATH AND DAMNATION to his Very SOUL...Hence the TRUTH BE KNOWN by the Spirit of TRUTH...The Movie The Passion didn't paint Judas Clear ... he committed suicide because He didn't repent...for the torment wouldn't stop...
5 They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, I am he. And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with them.
---Judas was trembling for he had a devil he fed all the time and would not release him and serve Jesus Christ...and it was his SOUL trembling for the SOUL Cries for its Maker...Jesus was not afraid for His Flesh didn't want to die...but SPIRIT is stronger than the FLESH and the Spirit is willing but the flesh is weak...a KEY FACT Jesus MADE POINT OF IT...see his enemy, satan is always about Jesus Christ business none other for they are of no importance ONLY Jesus Christ's saint...for satan don't even know others names in his kingdom...only those whom he wants to steal from Jesus's kingdom...Hence the thief, robber, steal, kill, and destroy...in John 10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. Did not Judas Iscariot, Kill and destroy...
6 As soon then as he had said unto them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground.
---Now notice why did they FALL Backward and fall to the Ground...for then they knew
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 go their way:
9 That the saying might be fulfilled, which he spake, Of them which thou gavest me HAVE I LOST NONE.
10 Then Simon Peter having a sword drew it, and smote the high priest's servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus.
---A servant worthy to be named and became a strong disciple of Jesus Christ indeed...for he saved his life...and hearing...WHICH proves Peter was and is indeed such as so...Then Jesus rebukes him, for AGAIN Peter is OUT OF GOD's will in the first time He was REBUKED in Matthew 16, for Peter could not SEE nor perceive God's WILL, which Jesus explains and shows UTTER Obedience...
11 Then said Jesus unto Peter, Put up thy sword into the sheath: THE CUP which my Father HATH GIVEN me, SHALL I NOT DRINK IT?
---FOR HE IS THE LAMB OF GOD...it must needs be done for the GIFT of the HOLY GHOST to be given, for after that He was glorified all power was given unto HIM...like in John 19:11 Jesus answered, Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin. ---See satan hates the Gospel...he wants to distort it and make it a lie...to Judas though because he knew to do RIGHT it was the GREATEST sin as WELL AS THE HIGH PRIEST and PHARISEES...and His blood has been upon them ever since...
12 Then the band and the captain and officers of the Jews took Jesus, and bound him,
13 And led him away to Annas first; for he was father in law to Caiaphas, which was the HIGH PRIEST that same year.
14 Now Caiaphas was he, which gave COUNSEL to the Jews, that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.
15 And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple: that disciple was KNOWN unto the high priest, and went in with Jesus into the palace of the high priest.
---HERE IT IS WHERE PETER DENIES CHRIST thrice as He said he would...This baffles me, where the leaven of Herod gets to Him and defeats this man with which would have killed a man for Jesus Christ...yet for the HOLY Cause of JESUS CHRIST he cowers due to the stand of which he needed to take but would not...for this is the trying of Peter...and Peter anger gets the best of him as he realizes the truth Jesus Spake of his inner secret cowardness as we will see...YET, THE KNOWN DISCIPLE by the high preist DIDN'T HAVE TREASON IN HIS HEART...to His Messiah...Howbeit he was kept a secret...
16 But Peter stood at the door without. Then went out that other disciple, which was known unto the high priest, and spake unto her that kept the door, and brought in Peter.
17 Then saith the damsel that kept the door unto Peter, Art not thou also one of this man's disciples? He saith, I am not.
18 And the servants and officers stood there, who had made a fire of coals; for it was cold: and they warmed themselves: and Peter stood with them, and warmed himself.
19 The HIGHT PRIEST then asked Jesus of his disciples, and of HIS DOCTRINE.
---Antagonizing Him yet again...but it didn't STOP the WILL of GOD...as Hard as it is to bear IT WAS GOD's WILL...O but HOW IT SHOWS THEIR BLINDNESS...which was HIS WILL, hence WHY they hated Him for He showed them THEIR wrongs...
20 Jesus answered him, I SPAKE OPENLY TO THE WORLD; I ever taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, WHITHER THE JEWS ALWAYS RESORT; and in SECRET HAVE I SAID NOTHING.
21 WHY. ASKEST. THOU. ME? ask them which heard me, what I have said unto them: BEHOLD, THEY KNOW WHAT I SAID.
---For His word was with them and in them...John 17:8 For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me. ...Now He is in TRUTH praying to the Father, and so it has been declared...and is still going on and on...
22 And when he had thus spoken, one of the officers which stood by struck Jesus with the palm of his hand, saying, Answerest thou the high priest so?
23 Jesus answered him, IF I HAVE SPOKEN EVIL, BEAR WITNESS OF THE EVIL: but if well, why smitest thou me?
24 Now Annas had sent him bound unto Caiaphas the high priest.
---WHY was this Allowed it was God's will...John 19:11 ...Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above... Also DID NOT Isaiah Prophecy...in 53:7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened NOT his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is DUMB, so he openeth not his mouth. ...To Deliver himself he opened not His mouth...(and to Herod what does he say, later on)...for It was the CUP of the FATHER...otherwise He would have been disobedient to the Almighty GOD whom is His Father...Hence WHY He didn't demand and Call Angels to deliver Him...
25 And Simon Peter stood and warmed himself. They said therefore unto him, Art not thou also one of his disciples? He denied it, and said, I am not.
26 One of the servants of the high priest, being his kinsman whose ear Peter cut off, saith, Did not I see thee in the garden with him?
27 Peter THEN denied AGAIN: and immediately the cock crew.
---NOW this is not the one whose ear got cut off, but it is his kinsman...which was with them...but Peter fell to the PEER PRESSURES of the Leaven of HEROD...Not the Pharisees but of Herod...Got to know the difference and sometimes they appear in the same degree...hence is so in this matter...
28 Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas unto the HALL OF JUDGMENT: and it was early; and they themselves went not into the judgment hall, lest they should be defiled; BUT THAT THEY MIGHT ((( EAT ))) THE PASSOVER.
29 Pilate then went out unto them, and said, What accusation bring ye against this man?
30 They answered and said unto him, If he were not a malefactor, we would not have delivered him up unto thee.
31 Then said Pilate unto them, Take ye him, and judge him according to your law. The Jews therefore said unto him, IT IS NOT LAWFUL for US to put ANY MAN TO DEATH:
---AS THOUGH THEY ARE SO HOLY BY OBEYING THE LAW??? AS THEY PERCEIVED YET, IT IS NOT FOR THEY ARE BLIND...CAN YOU PERCEIVE, AMAZINGLY THE GENTILES KNEW HE WAS THEIR MESSIAH, BUT THE LEADERS OF THE JEWS DIDN'T, OR IF THEY DID THEY BOWED TO IN THIS CASE THE LEAVEN OF HEROD AS GUIESED AS RIGHTEOUS PHARISEES ETC....HE WAS ALMIGHTY GOD!!! FOR HE WAS THE LAMB OF GOD...THE SACRIFICE FOR THE SIN OF THE WORLD...YET THE LAW ORDAINS THIS AND CONFIRMS BUT THEY COULDNT PERCEIVE FOR THE SAKE OF THEIR OWN SOULS...THEY WERE BLINDED BY THEIR OWN LACK OF PASSION TO KNOW GOD...AND HIS WAYS AND HIS HEARTBEAT...HENCE THE LAW IS ROYAL LOVE...WHICH GOD ALMIGHTY FULFILLED, THROUGH HIS SON JESUS CHRIST BUT THEY ARE ONE...FOR HE THAT SEEN HIM SAW HIM THAT SENT HIM...WHO IS GOD ALMIGHTY...IT IS SIMPLE THE GREAT I AM IS JESUS CHRIST!
32 That the SAYING OF JESUS might be FULFILLED, which he spake, SIGNIFYING what DEATH he should die.
---ISAIAH 53...DECLARED HIS DEATH already...but again the Pharisees are blind as well as the ones who followed the partying Herod...such as the mockers of His Name...is the Herods of this day...the hyprocrital mockers...that don't have a clue about followers of Christ and mock them when they know not what the mock for the wheat and the tares are together...but they don't know anything of the Gospel or OF GOD...yet they want the world to laugh with them...and do and join in with their iniquity to condone wrongs as rights...
33 THEN Pilate entered into the judgment hall again, and called Jesus, and said unto him, Art thou the King of the Jews?
34 Jesus answered him, Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or did others tell it thee of me?
35 Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thine own nation and the chief priests have delivered thee unto me: what hast thou done?
36 Jesus answered, MY KINGDOM IS NOT OF THIS WORLD: if my kingdom WERE of THIS world, THEN WOULD MY SERVANTS FIGHT, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but NOW IS MY KINGDOM NOT FROM HENCE.
---FOR in HIS KINGDOM though it is NOT of this WORLD we will fight in HIS KINGDOM...but not in this one...for the KINGDOM to come...We will fight in all fullness in the Kingdom yet His KINGDOM has Conquered ALL...who will or can fight it?
37 Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To THIS end was I born, and for ((( THIS CAUSE )))came I into the world, that I should ((( BEAR WITNESS ))) unto the TRUTH. EVERY. ONE. THAT. IS. OF. THE. TRUTH. HEARETH. MY. VOICE.
---hence PILATE HEARD HIS VOICE...why he asked, What is TRUTH? ...hence why Pilate said...I. FIND. IN. HIM. NO. FAULT. AT. ALLLLL.
38 Pilate saith unto him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them, I find in him no fault at all.
39 But ye have a custom, that I should RELEASE unto you ONE at the PASSOVER: will ye therefore that I release unto you the King of the Jews?
---WOULDN'T A CUSTOM BE A FORM OF THE LEAVEN OF HEROD? ...FOR A CUSTOM IS NOT A LAW...NOW, Pilate favors Jesus Christ, and asked directly, A Gentile, will you FREE JESUS CHRIST? Show mercy and release Him...but NAY...they cry release Barabbas...a Robber...IN THIS CASE: The GUILTY goes free, and the INNOCENT is CRUCIFIED...the evidence is clear to this day of the innocent blood...was it not said Let his blood be upon our hands...by a woman...
40 THEN CRIED THEY ALLLLLL AGAINNNNNNN, SAYING, NOT THIS MAN, BUT BARABBAS!!!! NOW BARABBAS WAS A ROBBER.
