This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Joh 18:13-27. Jesus before Annas and Caiaphas - Fall of Peter.
And led him away to Annas first - (See on Luk 3:2, and see Mat 26:57). (Also see on Mar 14:53.)
And led him away - “In that hour,” says Matthew (Mat 26:55, Mat 26:56), and probably now, on the way to judgment, when the crowds were pressing upon Him, “said Jesus to the multitudes, Are ye come out as against a thief, with swords and staves, for to take Me” - expressive of the indignity which He felt to be thus done to Him - “I sat daily with you in the temple, and ye laid no hold on Me. But this” (adds Luk 22:53) “is your hour and the power of darkness.” Matthew continues - “But all this was done that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook Him and fled” (Mat 26:56) - thus fulfilling His prediction (Mar 14:27; Joh 16:32).
