Betrayed

John 18:1-11 (NASB)
1  When Jesus had spoken these words, He went forth with His disciples over the ravine of the Kidron, where there was a garden, in which He entered with His disciples.
2  Now Judas also, who was betraying Him, knew the place, for Jesus had often met there with His disciples.
3  Judas then, having received the Roman cohort and officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, *came there with lanterns and torches and weapons.
4  So Jesus, knowing all the things that were coming upon Him, went forth and *said to them, "Whom do you seek?"
5  They answered Him, "Jesus the Nazarene." He *said to them, "I am He." And Judas also, who was betraying Him, was standing with them.
6  So when He said to them, "I am He," they drew back and fell to the ground.
7  Therefore He again asked them, "Whom do you seek?" And they said, "Jesus the Nazarene."
8  Jesus answered, "I told you that I am He; so if you seek Me, let these go their way,"
9  to fulfill the word which He spoke, "Of those whom You have given Me I lost not one."
10  Simon Peter then, having a sword, drew it and struck the high priest's slave, and cut off his right ear; and the slave's name was Malchus.
11  So Jesus said to Peter, "Put the sword into the sheath; the cup which the Father has given Me, shall I not drink it?"

  1. Savvy Enough To Understand It
  1. Strong Enough To Stop It

Matthew 26:51-54 (NASB)
51  And behold, one of those who were with Jesus reached and drew out his sword, and struck the slave of the high priest and cut off his ear.
52  Then Jesus *said to him, "Put your sword back into its place; for all those who take up the sword shall perish by the sword.
53  "Or do you think that I cannot appeal to My Father, and He will at once put at My disposal more than twelve legions of angels?
54  "How then will the Scriptures be fulfilled, which say that it must happen this way?"

  1. Sanctified Enough To Endure It

Matthew 26:38-39 (NASB)
38  Then He *said to them, "My soul is deeply grieved, to the point of death; remain here and keep watch with Me."
39  And He went a little beyond them, and fell on His face and prayed, saying, "My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; yet not as I will, but as You will."
