This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
[48. Κρατήσατε Αὐτὸν, seize hold of Him) Judas feared lest Jesus should escape on the present, as He had done on a former occasion.-καὶ ἐκράτησαν Αὐτὸν, and they seized hold of Him) First the multitude seized upon Jesus; in the meantime occurred the blow and the miracle on Malchus, whose ear the Saviour touched and healed;[1152] then they surrounded and apprehended Him as an actual prisoner. The former is expressed in Matthew and Mark by the verb κρατεῖν, to seize hold of, the latter in Luke [Luk 22:54] and John [Joh 18:12], by συλλαμβάνειν, to apprehend. Then they moreover bound Him.-B. H. E., p. 530.]
[1152] In the German this is beautifully expressed by the words, “dessen Ohr der HEYLAND angerühret und GEHEILET.”-(I. B.)
