TRIPLE TRUTH vs TRIPLE LIE

John told us so much about the Last Supper but now it’s time for Jesus’ arrest... 

Check who is in control here... (Jn 18)                                                                       

• The band?    A speira: Roman military cohort of ~500 armed soldiers!
• Officers from the chief priests and Pharisees?
• The captain?       A chiliarchos: colonel commanding 1000 soldiers
• Peter with his sword? ...against the Roman army!

• What about that young Man who rode into the city on a donkey?

Six times Jesus has claimed to be the ‘I AM’ so let’s see if He was being truthful...     

He now steps forward: “Whom seek ye?”                                                              

A: “Jesus of Nazareth”                                                                                                  

His response: “ego eimi”: I AM   (Translators have added: ‘he’)                      

‘...they went backward and fell to the ground’!!    WOW!

So we don’t miss it we’re told twice more... “I AM!” ...then:  “...let these go their way”                     Maybe it’s the great ‘I AM’ in control here??

"I am not!"

So, what was it Peter had said?...  “I will lay down my life for thy sake”         

Now given the chance to identify as a disciple of Jesus, Peter the spectator says: “ego ouch”: ‘I am not’ – yup...3 times even before cock-crow, just as Jesus had warned him!

Who’s telling the truth here?...Jesus?...or Peter?

NEXT: This is one ‘hot potato’ they want dealt with quickly. That’s 2 illegal trials at night – and more to come before 9am!
