This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

But this is your hour (all' hautē estin humōn hē hōra). So Jesus surrenders. The moral value of his atoning sacrifice on the Cross consists in the voluntariness of his death. He makes it clear that they have taken undue advantage of him in this hour of secret prayer and had failed to seize him in public in the temple. But “the power of darkness” (hē exousia tou skotous), had its turn. A better day will come. The might, authority of darkness.
