An exposition of John 18:13–27 examining the two intertwined scenes of Jesus's examination before the Jewish authorities and Peter's threefold denial in the courtyard. The sermon traces the irony of Caiaphas's earlier prophecy that one man should die for the people, the composed and authoritative self-defence of Jesus before Annas, and the catastrophic failure of Peter — all set within John's passion narrative as a whole. Main points: - the arrest and the bringing of Jesus before Annas - the interrogation of Jesus and his bold, legally grounded response - Peter's threefold denial and its fulfilment of Christ's earlier word Scripture references: - John 11:49-50; 13:36-38; 18:13-27 Free Grace Baptist Church — https://www.freegrace.ca Full transcript & sermon notes: https://sermons.freegrace.ca/sermons/sermon-john-18-the-trial-of-jesus-before-the-jews Description generated by Tyrannus.ai: https://www.tyrannus.ai
