Juan 18:2

2 También Judas, el que le iba a entregar, conocía el lugar, porque Jesús se había reunido allí a menudo con sus discípulos.

Juan 18:2 Meaning and Commentary

John 18:2

And Judas also which betrayed him, knew the place
This character is given of Judas, to distinguish him from another disciple of the same name; and though as yet he had not betrayed him, yet it was determined he should, and Christ knew it, and he was now about to do it: and it is observed, that Judas was as well acquainted with the place of Christ's resort, and knew the garden he frequently retired to, as the rest of the disciples; to show that Christ did not go there to hide and secure himself from him, but to meet him, and that he might have an opportunity of finding him with the greater case:

for Jesus often times resorted thither with his disciples;
when at Jerusalem at any of the feasts, and at this festival; partly for refreshment and rest after he had been preaching in the temple, and partly for prayer, and also for private conversation with his disciples.

Juan 18:2 In-Context

1 Después de haber dicho esto, Jesús salió con sus discípulos al otro lado del torrente Cedrón, donde había un huerto en el cual entró El con sus discípulos.
2 También Judas, el que le iba a entregar, conocía el lugar, porque Jesús se había reunido allí a menudo con sus discípulos.
3 Entonces Judas, tomando la cohorte romana, y a varios alguaciles de los principales sacerdotes y de los fariseos, fue<***> allá con linternas, antorchas y armas.
4 Jesús, pues, sabiendo todo lo que le iba a sobrevenir, salió y les dijo<***>: ¿A quién buscáis?
5 Ellos le respondieron: A Jesús el Nazareno. El les dijo<***>: Yo soy. Y Judas, el que le entregaba, estaba con ellos.
