João 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.

João 18:2 In-Context

1 Tendo terminado de orar, Jesus saiu com os seus discípulos e atravessou o vale do Cedrom. Do outro lado havia um olival, onde entrou com eles.

2 Ora, Judas, o traidor, conhecia aquele lugar, porque Jesus muitas vezes se reunira ali com os seus discípulos.

3 Então Judas foi para o olival, levando consigo um destacamento de soldados e alguns guardas enviados pelos chefes dos sacerdotes e fariseus, levando tochas, lanternas e armas.

4 Jesus, sabendo tudo o que lhe ia acontecer, saiu e lhes perguntou: “A quem vocês estão procurando?”

5 “A Jesus de Nazaré”, responderam eles.“Sou eu”, disse Jesus.(E Judas, o traidor, estava com eles.)
