About the show

In this episode, we start chapter 18 of the Book of John. Jesus and His disciples are just outside of Jerusalem at the Mount of Olives for Passover. Under the cover of darkness, Judas leads Roman soldiers and temple guards to where Jesus was to arrest Him. Judas knew where Jesus was because he and the other disciples had been there with Jesus during prior Passovers. Jesus asks them who they were looking for. They say Jesus. Jesus replies, “I AM he.” In a demonstration of His power, the men fell back and down when Jesus said, “I AM he,” which was a declaration of Him being God. It also shows that Jesus’ arrest was due to Him cooperating (because He had the power to stop it) to fulfill what God the Father sent Him to do; that is, to die for mankind’s sin. Jesus is arrested and taken to one of the Jewish High Priest’s homes for a mock trial, which we will cover in the next episode. We learn that John, the author of this book, and Peter fellow Jesus to the High Priest’s home. The gatekeeper to the home, a woman, asks Peter if he was a disciple of Jesus. Peter denies he was Jesus’ disciple. The first of the three denials Jesus predicted in John 13:31-38 that Peter would commit.
