cup
The "cup" must be interpreted by our Lord's own use of that symbol in speaking of His approaching sacrificial death Matthew 20:22 ; John 18:11 . In view of John 10:17 John 10:18 He could have been in no fear of an unwilling death. The value of the account of the agony in the Garden is in the evidence it affords that He knew fully what the agony of the cross would mean when His soul was made an offering for sin, Isaiah 53:10, in the hiding of the Father's face. Knowing the cost to the utmost, he voluntarily paid it.
sinners
Sin. (See Scofield "Romans 3:23") .
Friend
Gr. "Hetaire," "comrade." Perhaps the most touching thing in the Bible. The Lord does not disown Judas.
angels
(See Scofield "Hebrews 1:4") .
led
A comparison of the narratives gives the following order of events in the crucifixion day:
(1) Early in the morning Jesus is brought before Caiaphas and the Sanhedrin. He is condemned and mocked Matthew 26:57-68 ; Mark 14:55-65 ; Luke 22:63-71 ; John 18:19-24 .
(2) The Sanhedrin lead Jesus to Pilate, Matthew 27:1 Matthew 27:2 Matthew 27:11-14 ; Mark 15:1-5 ; Luke 23:1-5 ; John 18:28-38 .
(3) Pilate sends Jesus to Herod Luke 23:6-12 ; John 19:4 .
(4) Jesus is again brought before Pilate, who releases Barabbas and delivers Jesus to be crucified Matthew 27:15-26 ; Mark 15:6-15 ; Luke 23:13-25 ; John 18:39 John 18:40 ; 19:4-16 .
(5) Jesus is crowned with thorns and mocked Matthew 27:26-30 ; Mark 15:15-20 ; John 19:1-3 .
(6) Suicide of Judas Matthew 27:3-10 .
(7) Led forth to be crucified, the cross is laid upon Simon: Jesus discourses to the women Matthew 27:31 Matthew 27:32 ; Mark 15:20-23 ; Luke 23:26-33 ; John 19:16 John 19:17 .

maid Peter's denial
Cf Matthew 26:69 ; Mark 14:69 ; Luke 22:58 ; John 18:25 A discrepancy has been imagined in these accounts. Let it be remembered that an excited crowd had gathered, and that Peter was interrogated in two places: "With the servants" Matthew 26:58 where the first charge was made Matthew 26:69, "the porch" where a great number of people would be gathered, and where the second and third interrogations were made by "another maid" and by the crowd, i.e. "they" ; Matthew 26:71 Matthew 26:73 ; John 18:25
