The Gospel of John - Part 16

Part 16 begins in Chapter 18 with the arrest of Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane. From there He is brought before Annas who was the father-in-law of Caiaphas the High Priest. We also see Jesus' prophecy of Peter's denial come true.

Jesus is next brought before Pilate and Jesus makes one of His famous statements in verse 36, "My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would have been fighting, that I might not be delivered over to the Jews."

Chapter 19

Pilate then has Jesus flogged and the soldiers ridicule Him and put a crown of thorns on His head. Here we also see Pilate giving the crowd a choice to set one prisoner free. The crowd screams for Barabbas who was a murderer. Then they yell for Jesus to be crucified.

God bless
