Key Truth: Jesus is in control of His death.
John 10:17-18 This is why the Father loves Me, because I am laying down My life so I may take it up again. No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down on My own. I have the right to lay it down, and I have the right to take it up again. I have received this command from My Father.
Event 1 The Arrest of Jesus

John 18:1-3 So Judas took a company of soldiers and some temple police from the chief priests and the Pharisees and came there with lanterns, torches, and weapons.

John 18:4 Then Jesus, knowing everything that was about to happen to Him, went out and said to them, “Who is it you’re looking for?”
John 18:5 "Jesus the Nazarene,” they answered.
John 18:5 "I am He,” Jesus told them.
John 18:6 Judas, who betrayed Him, was also standing with them. When He told them, ‘I am He’, they stepped back and fell to the ground.
John 18:7 Then He asked them again, “Who is it you’re looking for?”
John 18:7 "Jesus the Nazarene,” they said.
John 18:8-9 "I told you I am He,” Jesus replied. “So if you’re looking for Me, let these men go.” This was to fulfill the words He had said: ‘I have not lost one of those You have given Me.’
John 18:10 Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it, struck the high priest’s slave, and cut off his right ear. (The slave’s name was Malchus.)

Jo John 18 18:12 12 12 Then the company of soldiers, the commander, and the Jewish temple police arrested Jesus and tied Him up
Event 2 The Denial of Jesus
John 18:15-18 Meanwhile, Simon Peter was following Jesus, as was another disciple. That disciple was an acquaintance of the high priest; so he went with Jesus into the high priest’s courtyard. But Peter remained standing outside by the door. So the other disciple, the one known to the high priest, went out and spoke to the girl who was the doorkeeper and brought Peter in.
John 18:15-18 Then the slave girl who was the doorkeeper said to Peter, “You aren’t one of this man’s disciples too, are you? “I am not!” he said. Now the slaves and the temple police had made a charcoal fire, because it was cold. They were standing there warming themselves, and Peter was standing with them, warming himself.
Peter’s Dilemma
Luke 22:59-62 About an hour later, another kept insisting, “This man was certainly with Him, since he’s also a Galilean.” But Peter said, “Man, I don’t know what you’re talking about!” Immediately, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed.
Luke 22:59-62 Then the Lord turned and looked at Peter. So Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how He had said to him, “Before the rooster crows today, you will deny Me three times.” And he went outside and wept bitterly.
Isaiah 53:3-7 3 He was despised and rejected by men, a man of suffering who knew what sickness was. He was like someone people turned away from; He was despised, and we didn’t value Him.
Isaiah 53:3-7 4 Yet He Himself bore our sicknesses, and He carried our pains; but we in turn regarded Him stricken, struck down by God, and afflicted.
Isaiah 53:3-7 5 But He was pierced because of our transgressions, crushed because of our iniquities; punishment for our peace was on Him, and we are healed by His wounds.
Isaiah 53:3-7 6 We all went astray like sheep; we all have turned to our own way; and the Lord has punished Him for the iniquity of us all.
Isaiah 53:3-7 7 He was oppressed and afflicted, yet He did not open His mouth. Like a lamb led to the slaughter and like a sheep silent before her shearers, He did not open His mouth.
Application Who is Jesus to you?
Luke 23:39-43 Then one of the criminals hanging there began to yell insults at Him: Arent You the Messiah? Save Yourself and us! 40 But the other answered, rebuking him: Dont you even fear God, since you are undergoing the same punishment?
Luke 23:39-43 41 We are punished justly, because we’re getting back what we deserve for the things we did, but this man has done nothing wrong. 42 Then he said, Jesus, remember me when You come into Your kingdom! 43 And He said to him, I assure you: Today you will be with Me in paradise.
