Main Body

Setting the Stage (V. 1)

  • In verse 1 We see that the stage has been set for the most significant event in history.

Judas Should Have Known Better (V. 2-6)

Judas knew Christ's Teaching (V. 2)

Judas planned his betrayal (V. 3)

Judas Consented to the crucifixion (V. 4-6)

Notice that on two occasions Jesus asks "whom are you seeking?" Jesus forced the people to admit that it was Jesus they were arresting, not the disciples or any other followers. Jesus, the God of the universe alone was the one with whom they had issue.

The Jews rushed the decision (V. 12-14)

The Jews Ignored the Truth (V. 24, 28)

  • See Also Matthew 26:57-68
