18:1 Yeshua is arrested

(Mat. 26:47-56, Mark 14:43-50, Luke 22:47-53)

18After he’d said all this, Yeshua and his followers went out of Yerushalem proper and over the Kidron stream towards a garden that he and his followers entered. 2And Yudas (the one who would hand him over) also knew the place because Yeshua and his followers often met there. 3Meanwhile Yudas had met with the soldiers and servants of the chief priests and the Pharisee party, and they all started coming into the garden with lanterns and flaming torches and weapons. 4Yeshua who already knew what was going to happen to him, came forward and asked them, “Who are you all looking for?

5And they answered, “Yeshua—the one from Nazareth.”

Yeshua responded, “I am the one.

Yudas, the one handing him over, was standing there among them. 6But when Yeshua had said that he is the one, they backed away and fell to the ground.[fn] 7So he asked them again, “Who are you all looking for?

And they answered, “Yeshua—the one from Nazareth.”

8Yeshua responded, “I already told you all that I am the one. So if it’s me that you’re looking for, let these others leave. 9(In this way, the statement was fulfilled that Yeshua had said previously: ‘I didn’t lose any of the ones that you gave me.’)[fn]

10Then Simon Peter drew the sword that he was carrying and swiped at the servant of the high priest, cutting off his right ear. The servant’s name was Malchus. 11[ref]But Yeshua said to Peter, “Put your sword back in its sheath. I need to proceed with the plan that the father has prepared for me—I can’t just avoid the suffering.


18:6 TD: It’s not clear from the original if they fell over backwards, or if they stepped back and then fell forward (either voluntarily or involuntarily) onto their knees.

18:9 TD: It’s not certain from the original whether v9 was part of Mark’s commentary on the events or part of Yeshua’s response to the arresting party.


18Having_said these things, Yaʸsous/(Yəhōshūˊa) came_out with the apprentices/followers of_him beyond the winter_stream of_the Kedrōn/(Qidrōn), where was a_garden, into which he and the apprentices/followers of_him came_in.
2And Youdas/(Yəhūdāh) who giving_ him _over had_ also _known, the place, because often Yaʸsous was_gathered_together There with the apprentices/followers of_him.
3therefore the Youdas having_received the cohort, and attendants from the chief_priests and Farisaios_party, is_coming there with lanterns, and torches, and weapons.
4Yaʸsous therefore having_known all the things coming on him, having_come_out he_said to_them:
Whom are_you_all_seeking?
5They_answered to_him:
Yaʸsous the from_Nazaret.
Yaʸsous he_is_saying to_them:
I am he.
and also Youdas, who giving_ him _over had_stood, with them.
6Therefore when he_said to_them:
I am he, they_went_away back to the things and they_fell on_the_ground.
7Therefore again he_asked them:
Whom are_you_all_seeking?
And they said:
Yaʸsous the from_Nazaret.
8Answered Yaʸsous:
I_told to_you_all that I am he.
Therefore if you_all_are_seeking me, allow these to_be_going_away,
9in_order_that the message may_be_fulfilled that he_said, that Whom you_have_given to_me, I_ not _lost no_one of them.
10Therefore Simōn Petros having a_sword, drew it and struck the slave of_the chief_priest, and cut_off the the right ear of_him.
And was Malⱪos the_name to_the slave.
11Therefore the Yaʸsous/(Yəhōshūˊa) said to_ the _Petros:
Put the sword into the sheath, the cup which the father has_given to_me, by_no_means I_may_ not _drink it?

Jerusalem during the New Testament

By the time of the New Testament, the ancient city of Jerusalem had been transformed from the relatively small fortress of David’s day (2 Samuel 5:6-10; 1 Chronicles 11:4-9) into a major city with a Temple that rivaled the greatest temples in the Roman world. Just prior to Jesus’ birth, Herod the Great completely renovated and expanded the Temple of the Lord, and he also built a lavish palace for himself, various pools (where Jesus occasionally performed healings), public buildings, and military citadels, including the Antonia Fortress, which overlooked the Temple. Wealthy residents, including the high priest, occupied extravagant houses in the Upper City, while the poorer residents were relegated to less desirable areas like the Lower City. The Essene Quarter was so named because many of its residents belonged to the Essenes, a strict religious sect that was known for its careful attention to the law of Moses. Across the Kidron Valley lay the Garden of Gethsemane, where Jesus often met with his disciples (Matthew 26:36-46; Mark 14:32-53; John 18:1-14). Further east was the Mount of Olives, where Jesus began his triumphal entry one week before his crucifixion (Matthew 21:1-11; Mark 11:1-11; Luke 19:28-40; John 12:12-19), taught his disciples about the last days (Matthew 24-25; Mark 13), and eventually ascended to heaven after his resurrection (Luke 24:50-53; Acts 1:1-11).

Jesus’ Arrest, Trial, Crucifixion, and Burial

Matthew 26-27; Mark 14-15; Luke 22-23; John 13-19

On the Thursday before he was crucified, Jesus had arranged to share the Passover meal with his disciples in an upper room, traditionally thought to be located in the Essene Quarter of Jerusalem. After they finished the meal, they went to the Garden of Gethsemane, where Jesus often met with his disciples. There Judas Iscariot, one of Jesus’ own disciples, betrayed him to soldiers sent from the High Priest, and they took Jesus to the High Priest’s residence. In the morning the leading priests and teachers of the law put Jesus on trial and found him guilty of blasphemy. The council sent Jesus to stand trial for treason before the Roman governor Pontius Pilate, who resided at the Praetorium while in Jerusalem. The Praetorium was likely located at the former residence of Herod the Great, who had died over 30 years earlier. When Pilate learned that Jesus was from Galilee, he sent him to Herod Antipas, who had jurisdiction over Galilee. But when Jesus gave no answer to Herod’s many questions, Herod and his soldiers sent him back to Pilate, who conceded to the people’s demands that Jesus be crucified. Jesus was forced to carry his cross out of the city gate to Golgotha, meaning Skull Hill, referring to what may have been a small unquarried hill in the middle of an old quarry just outside the gate. After Jesus was unable to carry his cross any further, a man named Simon from Cyrene was forced to carry it for him. There at Golgotha they crucified Jesus. After Jesus died, his body was hurriedly taken down before nightfall and placed in a newly cut, rock tomb owned by Joseph of Arimathea, a member of the Jewish high council. This tomb was likely located at the perimeter of the old quarry.
