Notes

John 18:24

Annas could say no more. His questioning had failed. So he sent Jesus to Caiaphas to be tried before the Sanhedrin, Jerusalem's judicial high council (see Mark 14:53–15:1).

John 18:1–40

Jesus finished speaking his final words to his disciples in the upper room (13:31–17:26). Jesus then left the city and went to a garden east of Jerusalem to pray. There, authorities arrested him and took him back into the city for questioning by the Jewish religious leaders. The important "hour" Jesus often mentioned throughout the Gospel had arrived (see 2:4; see also study note on 12:23).
