The LORD our Passover

Now the betrayal of Jesus our Passover

Keep in mind that we are still in the evening hours of the same day of the inspection of the lambs chosen for slaughtering during which time they are being inspected for blemishes and disease. This blood letting will take place within the Temple walls which are inside of the city of Jerusalem. But our LORD will be taken outside for His illegal and fraudulent execution at the hands of both Gentiles and the Hebrews. The parallel passages are Matthew 26:47-56, Mark 14:43-50 and Luke 22:47-53, before continuing with John's account I want to look at one of the others to fill in here.

Jesus prayers in the garden

Found in John 18:1-11, Mark 14:32-42 and Luke 22:39-46

Matthew 26:36-46 “Then came Jesus with them to a place called Gethsemane, and said to the disciples, Sit here, while I go and pray yonder. And He took with Him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy. Then said He to them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry here, and watch with Me. And He went a little further, and fell on His face, and prayed, saying, O My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from Me: nevertheless not as I will, but as You will. And He came to the disciples, and found them asleep, and said to Peter, What, could you not watch with Me one hour? Watch and pray, that you enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O My Father, if this cup may not pass away from Me, except I drink it, Your will be done. And He came and found them asleep again: for their eyes were heavy. And He left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words. Then came He to His disciples, and said to them, Sleep on now, and take rest: behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. Rise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that does betray Me.”

Jesus taken by force to the High Priest

parallel passages in Matthew 26:57-58, Mark 14:53-54 and Luke 22:54
 

John 18:12-14, 24 "Then the band and the captain and officers of the Jews took Jesus, and bound Him, and led Him away to Annas first; for he was father in law to Caiaphas, which was the High Priest that same year. Now Caiaphas was he, which gave counsel to the Jews (in John 11:49-52), that it was expedient that one man should die for the people." 

Peter denies the LORD

parallel passages Matthew 69-72, Mark 14:66-68 and Luke 22:55-57

John 18:15-18, 25 "And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple: that disciple was known to 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 to the High Priest, and spoke to her that kept the door, and brought in Peter. Then said the damsel that kept the door to Peter, Are not you also one of this man's disciples? He said, I am not. 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."

The Inquisition begins of Jesus by the High Priest

Parallel passages Matthew 26:59-66, Mark 14:55-64 and Luke 22:66-71

John 18:19-24 "The High Priest asked Jesus of His disciples, and of His doctrine. (Luke 11:53-54, 20:20) Jesus answered him, I spoke openly to the world; I ever taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, where the Jews always resort; and in secret have I said nothing.(Psalm 22:22, 40:9) Why ask you this of me? ask them which heard Me, what I have said to them: behold, they know what I said. And when He had thus spoken, one of the officers which standing by struck Jesus with the palm of his hand, saying, Why answer You the High Priest in this fashion? Jesus answered him, If I have spoken no evil, bear witness of the evil: but if well, why smite you Me? Now Annas (as retired priest and father-in-law to) sent Him bound to Caiaphas (Annas' son-in-law) the High Priest." (John 18:13)

Peter denies Jesus Again

parallel passages in Matthew 26:71-75, Mark 14:69-72 and Luke 22:58-62

John 18:25-27 "Simon Peter stood and warmed himself. They said therefore to him, Are not you also one of His disciples? He denied it, and said, I am not. One of the servants of the high priest, being his kinsman whose ear Peter cut off, said, Did not I see thee in the garden with Him? Peter then denied again: and immediately the cock crew." 

Jesus is now brought to Pilate

parallel passages in Matthew 27:1-2, 11-14, 11-14, Mark 15:1-5, Luke 23:1-5

John 18:28, 33-37 "Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas into 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. Pilate then went out to them, and said, What accusation bring you against this man? They answered and said to him, If he were not a malefactor, we would not have delivered him up to you. Then said Pilate to them, Take him, and judge him according to your law. The Jews therefore said to him, It is not lawful for us to put any man to death: That the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled, which He spoke, signifying what death He should die. Then Pilate entered into the judgment hall again, and called Jesus, and said to Him, Are You the King of the Jews? Jesus answered him, Say you this thing of yourself, or did others tell it you of Me? Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Your own nation and the chief priests have delivered You to me: what have You done? 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 here. (of this place, by implication is within) Pilate therefore said to Him, Are You a king then? Jesus answered, You say 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 to the Truth. Every one that is of the Truth hears My voice. (John 7:17, 8:47, 10:26-27, 1John 3:14, 19, 4:6, 5:20)
