When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these They have just finished eating all the fish they could ever want, like a feast, which came from one of the largest catches of fish they had ever brought in. I don’t think that…
John 19:6 I think Pilate thought the Jews would see what he had done to Jesus and be appeased, but instead they just saw that they had gained momentum toward getting Jesus executed. [11]?Jesus answered him, ?You would have no authority over me at all unless it had been given you from above. Therefore he…
There are so many things that Jesus hears through this that were SO WRONG but He didn’t protest. One way of protest would have been to stick up for Himself, to get Himself freed. What questions He DOES ask are more toward walking the fools around Him toward the truth. He is not concerned with…
My little take on Jesus getting arrested in the garden. Thanks to Eric Youngblood for planting the idea that Jesus said “I am” rather than “I am He.” “Who are you seeking?” Jesus asked them over the sizzle of torches and the clanging of swords, shields and armor. “Jesus of Nazareth” The commander of the…
This is just about the best section and most poetic piece of Matthew Henry’s Commentary I’ve ever read. Appropriately, it’s on John 18:1-12 Our Lord Jesus, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth and asked, Whom seek ye?

Some thoughts on John and Peter getting into the house of Annas while Jesus has his mock trial.
John 14:12 “Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father. 13 Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son….
‚ÄúWhat you are going to do, do quickly.‚Äù These are pretty disturbing words from Jesus. Satan himself has just entered into Judas and Jesus doesn‚Äôt say, ‚ÄúCome out of him!‚Äù or any of the things He ever said to demons. There was a time and a place for casting out evil and liberating individuals, but…
John 13:26-28 26 Jesus answered, ‚ÄúIt is he to whom I will give this morsel of bread when I have dipped it.‚Äù So when he had dipped the morsel, he gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. 27 Then after he had taken the morsel, Satan entered into him. Jesus said to him,…
