18 3 John 6 Judas then having received a band of men and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, Cometh thither with lanterns, and torches, and weapons. Mat. And while he yet spake, lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came, And with him a great multitude, with Mar. And immediately while he yet spake, cometh And with him a great multitude, with Luke And while he yet spake, Behold a multitude, Mat. Now he that betrayed him, gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he, hold him fast. Mar. And he that betrayed him, had given them a token, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he, take him, and lead him away safely. LukeAnd he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them, Luke And drew near unto Jesus, To kiss him. Mar. And as soon as he was come, he goeth straightway to him, And saith, Master, master, and kissed him, Mat. And forthwith he came to Jesus, And said, Hail, master; and kissed him, Mat. And Jesus said unto him, Friend, wherefore art thou come? Luke But Jesus said unto him, Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss? 4 John Jesus therefore knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said unto them, Whom seek ye? They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, I am be. And Judas also which betrayed him, stood with them. As soon then as he had said unto them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground. Then asked he them again, Whom seek ye? and they said, Jesus of Nazareth, Jesus answered, I have told you that I am be, If therefore ye seek me, let these go their way: That the saying might be fulfilled which he spake, Of them which thou gavest me, have I lost none. 8 9 Mat. Then came they and laid hands on Jesus, and took him. Mar. And they laid their hands on him, and took him. When 52 Luke When they which were about him saw what would follow, they said unto him, Lord, shall we smite with the sword? Mat. And behold, one of them which were with Jesus Mar. And one of them that stood by drew a sword, and cut off his ear. Luke And one of them Smote the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear. 18 10 John Then Simon Peter having a sword, drew it, And smote the high priest's servant, and cut off his right ear. 53 John The servant's name was Malchus. 11 John Then said Jesus unto Peter, Put up thy sword into the sheath: Mat. Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: Mat. For all they that take the sword shall perish John The cup which my Father hath given me, shall Luke And Jesus answered and said, Suffer ye thus far. Be ye come out as against a thief, with swords and staves? Mar. And Jesus answered and said unto them, Are ye come out as against a thief, with swords and with staves to take me? Mat. In that same hour said Jesus to the multitudes, Mat. I sat daily with you, teaching in the temple, Mar. I was daily with you in the temple teaching, Luke When I was daily with you in the temple, ness. Mar. But the Scriptures must be fulfilled. Mat. But all this was done, that the Scriptures of Mat. Then all the disciples forsook him, and fled. Then 13 118 12/John Then the band, and the captain, and the officers of the Jews took Jesus, and bound him, And led him away to Annas first (for he was fatherin-law to Caiaphas, which was the high priest that same year.) Mar. And there followed him a certain young man, having a linen cloth cast about his naked body; and the young men laid hold on him. And he left the linen cloth, and fled from them naked. Mar. And they led Jesus away to the high priest: And with him were assembled all the chief priests, and the elders, and the scribes. Mat. And they that had laid hold on Jesus, led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, Where the scribes and the elders were as sembled. Luke Then took they him, and led him, and brought him into the high priest's house. 14 John Now Caiaphas was he which gave counsel to the Jews, that it was expedient that one man should die for the people. (John xi. 50.) Sect. 136. Peter denies his Master. Mat. But Peter followed him afar off, unto the high priest's palace. Mar. And Peter followed him afar off, even into the palace of the high priest. Luke And Peter followed afar off. 15 John And Simon Peter followed Jesus, 16 John 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. 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. Luke And when they had kindled a fire in the midst Mar. And he sat with the servants, and warmed N. B. Here Matthew and Mark bring in the history of our Lord's trial as the principal fact. (See at Luke xxii. 66. p. 290.) Then they relate Peter's denials as follows. 22 561 Luke But a certain maid beheld him as he sat by 57 72 70 58 59 the fire, And earnestly looked upon him, and said, te & His a This man was also with him. 18 17 John Then saith the damsel that kept the door un to Peter, Art not thou also one of this man's disciples? John He saith, i am not. Mat. But he denied before them all, saying, I know not what thou sayest. Mar. But he denied, saying, I know not, neither understand I what thou sayest. Luke And he denied him, saying, Woman, I know jhim not. 18 John 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. See Luke, ver.55. -Peter's second denial. + 26 Mar. And he went out into the porch; and the cock crew. And a maid saw him again, and began to say to them that stood by, This is one of them. Mat. And when he was gone out into the porch, This fellow was also with Jesus of Mat. And again he denied with an oath, I do not know the man. Mar. And he denied it again. Luke And after a little while another saw him, and said, Thou art also of them. And Peter said, Man, I am not. N. B. John having related the first denial, which happened immediately after Peter entered the hall, ver. 17, 18. he gives the history of our Lord's trial as the principal fart (see at Luke xxii. 66. p. 290.); then brings in the third denial as follows. -Peter's third denial. 1825 John And Simon Peter stood and warmed himself: 27 73 Mar. And a little after, They that stood by said again to Peter, They that stood by, and said to Peter, VOL. I. 20 Luke Of a truth this fellow also was with him; Mar. Surely thou art one of them; For thou art a Galilean, and thy speech agreeth thereto. Mat. Surely thou also art one of them, For thy speech bewrayeth thee. Mat. Then began he to curse and to swear, saying, And immediately the cock crew. Luke And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately while he yet spake, the cock crew. Luke And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter; Luke And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. Mar. And Peter called to mind the word that Jesus said unto him, Before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice. Mat. And Peter remembered the words of Jesus, which said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. Mat. And he went out and wept bitterly. Luke And the men that held Jesus, mocked him, and smote him. And when they had blindfolded him, they struck him on the face, and asked him, saying, Prophesy, who is it that smote thee? And many other things blasphenously spake they against him. Sect. 137. Jesus is tried by the council. LukeAnd as soon as it was day, the elders of the people, and the chief priests, and the scribes, came together, and led him into their council. 18 10 John The high priest then asked Jesus of his disciples and of his doctrine. 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. Why askest thou me ? ask them which heard me, what I have said unto them: behold, they know what I said. 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? Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear wit 21 22 23 ness |
