CHAPTER STUDY WORKSPACE

John 18

Jesus is arrested in a garden after identifying Himself so powerfully that the arresting party falls backward. He protects His disciples, rebukes Peter’s sword use, and goes through hearings before Annas and Caiaphas while Peter denies Him three times. Before Pilate, Jesus explains that His kingdom is not of this world and that He came to bear witness unto the truth; the crowd chooses Barabbas.
