| 0:00.0 | This This Sunday is Palm Sunday, and on Truth for Life weekend, Alice Durbegg is tracking the story of Jesus' betrayal and arrest in the Garden of Gatsemone. |
| 0:33.7 | At a point where most of us would be tempted to run and hide, or maybe resist and fight back, |
| 0:38.6 | we'll see how Jesus' response revealed His Majesty and His Divine Mission. |
| 0:48.1 | We're going to read from the Gospel of John, and if you wish to follow along, please do. |
| 0:53.3 | I'm going to read from chapter 18 and the |
| 0:57.4 | opening 11 verses of John, chapter 18. Chapter 17 is the priestly prayer of Jesus, and having spoken |
| 1:09.3 | these words, we pick it up at the first verse of 18. When Jesus had spoken |
| 1:15.0 | these words, he went out with his disciples across the brook, Kidron, where there was a garden, |
| 1:22.0 | which he and his disciples entered. Now, Judas, who betrayed him, also knew the place, for Jesus often met there with |
| 1:31.4 | his disciples. So, Judas, having procured a band of soldiers and some officers from the chief |

| 2:05.7 | When Jesus said to them, I am he, they drew back and fell to the ground. And so he asked them |
| 2:13.0 | again, whom do you seek? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus answered, I told you that I am he. |
| 2:21.8 | So if you seek me, let these men go. This was to fulfill the word that he had spoken. |
| 2:28.9 | Of those whom you gave me, I have lost not one. Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it and struck the priest's |
| 2:39.1 | servant and cut off his right ear. The servant's name was Malkus. So Jesus said to Peter, |
| 2:46.8 | "'Put your sword into its sheath. Shall I not drink the cup that the Father has given me. |
| 2:54.6 | Amen. I want us to give our attention to the verses that I read, and what I would like to do |
| 3:02.7 | is take a moment or two to set the context, the wider context of this, and to say something also about |
| 3:10.7 | one of the key characters in this, namely Judas, and then make three points by way of |
