Notes

John 18:25–27

He denied it: Peter denied knowing Jesus three times. Later, Jesus asked Peter three times to reaffirm his love (21:15–17).

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).
