Picking up with verse 25 of John 18 where we find another of Peter's denials before we are let in on the interrogation of Jesus by the Roman Governor named Pilate. GOD in His way, gets all of the different sections (world orders, or world systems) of His enemies in-line for the judgment of humanity's fallen, corrupted mindset, in the mix or fray. You see humanity of its self was never the enemy of GOD, though, the mindset of the illegal fallen nature, would have us believe otherwise, as this is spread far and wide by the systems of religion and politics, pushed along by education. Because the mind can only see and hear what it has been programed to see and hear, and this is done stealthily by ways and means of an outside influence. For Jesus told us that the work of the Holy Spirit was to bring our perspective and perception of mind, to clearness of sight and hearing to see and hear the voice of GOD again, while we are in the world. This being the top of the gift list, as it is most required by all.
John 18:25-27 "And Simon Peter stood and warmed himself. They said therefore unto him, "Art not thou 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, saith, "Did not I see thee in the garden with him?" Peter then denied again: and immediately the cock crew." (KJV)
John 18:25-27 "Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. So they said to him, "You also are not one of his disciples, are you?" He denied it and said, "I am not!" One of the servants of the high priest, a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, asked, "Did I not see you in the garden with him?" Peter again denied it, and at once a rooster crowed." (ESV)
John 18:25-27 "In the mean time Peter was still warming himself at the fire when he was asked again if he was not one of the disciples of Jesus. He emphatically objected and said that he was not. Then a relative of Malchus whose ear Peter chopped off also recognized him and said, "Did I not see you with him in the garden?" Again Peter disclaimed it and just then, the cock crowed!" (The Mirror)
John 18:28-32 "Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas unto 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 unto them, and said, "What accusation bring ye against this man?" They answered and said unto him, "If he were not a malefactor, we would not have delivered him up unto thee." Then said Pilate unto them, "Take ye him, and judge him according to your law." The Jews therefore said unto him, "It is not lawful for us to put any man to death:" That the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled (in Matthew 20:19, 26:2; repeated by Mark in 10:33ff and Luke in 18:32f; and even by John in 3:14, 8:28, and 12:32f) , which he spake, signifying what death he should die." (KJV)
John 18:28-32 "Then they led Jesus from the house of Caiaphas to the governor's headquarters. It was early morning. They themselves did not enter the governor's headquarters, so that they would not be defiled, but could eat the Passover. So Pilate went outside to them and said, "What accusation do you bring against this man?" They answered him, "If this man were not doing evil, we would not have delivered him over to you." Pilate said to them, "Take him yourselves and judge him by your own law." The Jews said to him, "It is not lawful for us to put anyone to death." This was to fulfill the word that Jesus had spoken (in Matthew 20:19, 26:2; repeated by Mark in 10:33ff and Luke in 18:32f; and even by John in 3:14, 8:28, and 12:32f) to show by what kind of death he was going to die." (ESV)
John 18:28-32 "Then they led Jesus from Caiaphas into the Praetorian, the Roman governor's judgment hall - it was still early in the day so the Jews didn't go into this court room for fear of contracting some impurity, which would have obliged them to separate themselves from eating the Passover. Then Pilate went outside to face them and asked, "What accusation do you bring against this man?" They answered, "If he wasn't an evildoer we wouldn't have wasted your time with this court case in the first place." Then Pilate said, "Take him and judge him according to your Law." This was also to confirm what Jesus said about his manner of death." (I would be lifted up - crucifixion was not a Jewish punishment - 1John 3:5 We have witnessed with our own eyes how, in the unveiling of the prophetic word, when he was lifted up upon the cross as the Lamb of GOD, he lifted up our sins and broke their [its] dominion and rule over us! (John 1:29 "Behold, the Lamb of GOD, who takes away [airo] the sin of the world!" The word airo means to lift up. John 3:13 "'No one can fully engage in heaven's perspective, unless one's heavenly origin is realized! The Son of man declares humanity's co-genesis from above!'" John 3:34 (This in my mission: See the prophetic relevance - this is how the veil will be removed!) '"Remember how Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness even so the Son of man will be lifted up!'" (John 12:31-33 "'Now is the judgment of this world, now shall the ruler of this world be cast out; and I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all judgment unto me.' He said this to show by what death he was to die." John 3:13-14 are most significant since they point to the very essence of the mission of Jesus - the co-begotteness of the human race now redeemed in our co-crucifixion and co-resurrection on the third day into newness of life! 1Peter 1:3) John 3:15 In the same prophetic pattern, I will be lifted up for all to see and be equally persuaded in the echo of the life of the ages now redeemed within them!) (The Mirror)
The LORD willing we shall conclude this chapter in our next visit, with Pilate and then the whipping and beating of Jesus as the son of man, the punishment that Adam should by all rights have taken.
