     | 1,892 views

    The church says that the disciples were acting cowardly when they scattered after Jesus' arrest. If they did not and they were arrested and killed then who would have brought the Gospel to us? This is a DIFFERENT view of those events

     | 838 views

    John 18:12-36 continues the story of Jesus' journey towards the cross as He faced His enemies and an illegal trial based on false charges. What they didn't know was that Jesus was in control and that this was part of the redemptive plan (1 Corinthians 2:7-8).

    The Lord Jesus had been arrested while in the Garden of Gethsemane (Matthew 26:47-56; Mark 14:43-52; Luke 22:47-53; John 18:1-11). He was being hauled off to an illegal trial on false charges.
