Two Journeys

Jesus goes to trial, first before the Jewish religious leaders, then before the secular authority. The Jewish leaders desired to execute Jesus, but Pilate believed Him to be innocent. Yet, under pressure from the Jews, He interrogates Jesus. Jesus tells Pilate of an other-worldly kingdom, the whole basis of which is truth. He invites Pilate to join Him if he is on the side of truth. Pilate unbelief and cynicism led him to reject the truth, who was standing right in front of him. Pilate tries a weak attempt free Jesus, but it turns on him as the Jews would rather have criminal than Jesus.

Jesus demonstrated His supernatural courage, knowledge, and control during His arrest in Gethsemane. He boldly went out to meet 600 armed men, took control of the situation, merely spoke His name (“I am”), and they fell to the ground. His purpose was to protect His disciples lest they fall away as a result of a trial that they were not yet ready to handle. Peter stepped out of that protective net, a precursor of the trial Peter was about to bring on himself. John weaves together the concurrent accounts of Jesus’ trial and Peter’s denial. The account shows the unflinching courage of Jesus contrasted with the cowardice of his chief disciple.
