Trial and Crucifixion
Jesus was arrested on Thursday night when Judas led the Jewish
authorities to the Garden of Gethsemane, where Jesus had been agonizing in
prayer over His approaching death. After a religious trial for blasphemy before
the Jewish Sanhedrin, He was turned over to the Roman authorities. The
Sanhedrin convinced Pilate, the Roman governor of Judea, to execute Jesus
because of their claim that He was a dangerous revolutionary who threatened the
authority of Rome.
Jesus was crucified on Friday morning,
then placed in the tomb of Joseph of Arimathea before the beginning of the
Jewish Sabbath on Friday afternoon.
Jesus Betrayed and Arrested
Matthew 26:47–56; Mark 14:43–52; Luke
22:47–53; John 18:1–12
Jn 18:1–2After Jesus had said these things, He
went out with His disciples across the Kidron ravine, where there was a garden
into which He and His disciples entered. 2Judas, who betrayed Him,
also knew the place, because Jesus often met there with His disciples. Mt
26:47While He was still speaking, Judas,
one of the Twelve, suddenly arrived. With him was a large mob† [Jn 18:3aa detachment of soldiers and some temple police], with swords and
clubs [Jn 18:3bwith lanterns,
torches, and weapons], who were sent by the chief priests and elders of the
people.
Mt 26:48His betrayer had given them a sign [Mk
14:44signal]: “The one I kiss,
He’s the one; arrest Him Mk 14:44band get Him securely away.” Mt
26:49So he went right up to Jesus and said, “Greetings, Rabbi!”—and kissed Him.
Mt 26:50a“Friend,” Jesus asked him, “why have you
come? [Lk 22:48bJudas, are you
betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?]”
Mt. 26:50bThen they came up, took hold of Jesus,
and arrested Him. Lk 22:49When those around Him saw what was going
to happen, they asked, “Lord, should we strike with the sword?” Jn 18:10Then
Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it, struck the high priest’s slave, and cut
off his right ear. (The slave’s name was Malchus.)
Mt 26:52Then Jesus told him, “Put your sword back in place because
all who take up a sword will perish by a sword. Jn 18:11bShould I
not drink the cup that the Father has given Me? Mt 26:53–54Or do you
think that I cannot call on My Father, and He will provide Me at once with more
than twelve legions of angels? 54How, then, would the Scriptures be
fulfilled that say it must happen this way?” Lk 22:51bAnd touching
his ear, He healed him.
Lk 22:52aThen Jesus said to the chief priests,
temple police, and the elders who had come for Him, Mt 26:55b“Have
you come out with swords and clubs, as if I were a criminal, to capture Me?
Every day I used to sit, teaching in the temple complex, and you didn’t arrest
Me. Lk 22:53bBut this is your hour—and the dominion of darkness. Mt
26:56aBut all this has happened so that the prophetic Scriptures would be
fulfilled.”
Jn 18:12Then the detachment of soldiers, the captain, and the Jewish temple police arrested Jesus and tied Him up. Mt 26:56bThen all the disciples deserted Him and ran away. Mk 14:51–52Now a certain young man, having a linen cloth wrapped around his naked body, was following Him. And they caught hold of him. 52But he left the linen cloth behind and ran away naked.[1]
