BETRAYAL AND APPREHENSION OF JESUS. (Joh 18:1-13)

over the brook Kedron--a deep, dark ravine, to the northeast of Jerusalem, through which flowed this small storm brook or winter torrent, and which in summer is dried up.

where was a garden--at the foot of the Mount of Olives, "called Gethsemane; that is, olive press (Mat 26:30, Mat 26:36).

Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834]
The brook Cedron - This was a small stream that flowed to the east of Jerusalem, through the valley of Jehoshaphat, and divided the city from the Mount of Olives. It was also called Kidron and Kedron. In summer it is almost dry. The word used here by the evangelist - χειμάῤῥου cheimarrou - denotes properly a water-stream (from χεῖρμα cheimōn, shower or water, and ῥέω reō, ῥόος roos, to flow, flowing), and the idea is that of a stream that was swollen by rain or by the melting of the snow (Passow, Lexicon). This small rivulet runs along on the east of Jerusalem until it is joined by the water of the pool of Siloam, and the water that flows down on the west side of the city through the valley of Jehoshaphat, and then goes off in a southeast direction to the Dead Sea. (See the map of the environs of Jerusalem.) Over this brook David passed when he fled from Absalom, Sa2 15:23. It is often mentioned in the Old Testament, Kg1 15:13; Ch2 15:16; Ch2 30:14; Kg2 23:6, Kg2 23:12. Where was a garden - On the west side of the Mount of Olives. This was called Gethsemane. See the notes at Mat 26:36. It is probable that this was the property of some wealthy man in Jerusalem - perhaps some friend of the Saviour. It was customary for the rich in great cities to have country-seats in the vicinity. This, it seems, was so accessible that Jesus was accustomed to visit it, and yet so retired as to be a suitable place for devotion.

Brook (χειμάῤῥου)

From χεῖμα, winter, and ῥέω, to flow. Properly, a winter torrent. Only here in the New Testament. Rev., in margin, ravine.

Kidron (Κέδρων)

Which might also be rendered of the cedars, which some editors prefer.

A garden

Neither John nor Luke give the name Gethsemane.

Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65]
A garden - Probably belonging to one of his friends. He might retire to this private place, not only for the advantage of secret devotion, but also that the people might not be alarmed at his apprehension, nor attempt, in the first sallies of their zeal, to rescue him in a tumultuous manner. Kedron was (as the name signifies) a dark shady valley, on the east side of Jerusalem, between the city and the mount of Olives, through which a little brook ran, which took its name from it. It was this brook, which David, a type of Christ, went over with the people, weeping in his flight from Absalom. Mat 26:30; Mar 14:26; Luk 22:39.

Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826
Over the brook Cedron - Having finished the prayer related in the preceding chapter, our Lord went straight to the garden of Gethsemane, Mat 26:36, which was in the mount of Olives, eastward of Jerusalem. This mount was separated from the city by a very narrow valley, through the midst of which the brook Cedron ran: see 1 Maccabees 12:37; Joseph. War, b. v. c. 2, s. 3. xii. 2. Cedron is a very small rivulet, about six or seven feet broad, nor is it constantly supplied with water, being dry all the year, except during the rains. It is mentioned in the Old Testament: Sa2 15:23; Kg1 15:13; Kg2 23:4. And it appears the evangelist only mentions it here to call to remembrance what happened to David, when he was driven from Jerusalem by his son Absalom, and he and his followers obliged to pass the brook Cedron on foot: see Sa2 15:23. All this was a very expressive figure of what happened now to this second David, by the treachery of one of his own disciples. This brook had its name probably from קדר Kadar, he was black; it being the place into which the blood of the sacrifices, and other filth of the city, ran. It was rather, says Lightfoot, the sink, or the common sewer, of the city, than a brook. Some copyists, mistaking Κεδρων for Greek, have changed του into των, and thus have written των Κεδρων, of cedars, instead of του Κεδρων, the brook of Cedron: but this last is undoubtedly the genuine reading. A garden - Gethsemane: see on Mat 26:36 (note). The Jewish grandees had their gardens and pleasure grounds without the city even in the mount of Olives. This is still a common custom among the Asiatics. St. John mentions nothing of the agony in the garden; probably because he found it so amply related by all the other evangelists. As that account should come in here, the reader is desired to consult the notes on Mat 26:36-47 (note). See also Mar 14:30-36 (note), and Luk 22:40-44 (note).

³⁰ And [2532] when they had sung an hymn [5214], they went out [1831] into [1519] the mount [3735] of Olives [1636].

¹ When Jesus [2424] had spoken [2036] these words [5023], he went forth [1831] with [4862] his [846] disciples [3101] over [4008] the brook [5493] Cedron [2748], where [3699] was [2258] a garden [2779], into [1519] the which [3739] he [846] entered [1525], and [2532] his [846] disciples [3101].
² And [1161] Judas [2455] also [2532], which [3588] betrayed [3860] him [846], knew [1492] the place [5117]: for [3754] Jesus [2424] ofttimes [4178] resorted [4863] thither [1563] with [3326] his [846] disciples [3101].
³ Judas [2455] then [3767], having received [2983] a band [4686] of men and [2532] officers [5257] from [1537] the chief priests [749] and [2532] Pharisees [5330], cometh [2064] thither [1563] with [3326] lanterns [5322] and [2532] torches [2985] and [2532] weapons [3696].
⁴ Jesus [2424] therefore [3767], knowing [1492] all things [3956] that should come [2064] upon [1909] him [846], went forth [1831], and said [2036] unto them [846], Whom [5101] seek ye [2212]?
⁵ They answered [611] him [846], Jesus [2424] of Nazareth [3480]. Jesus [2424] saith [3004] unto them [846], I [1473] am [1510] he. And [1161] Judas [2455] also [2532], which [3588] betrayed [3860] him [846], stood [2476] with [3326] them [846].
⁶ As soon [5613] then [3767] as he had said [2036] unto them [846], [3754] I [1473] am [1510] he, they went [565] backward [1519] [3694], and [2532] fell [4098] to the ground [5476].
⁷ Then [3767] asked he [1905] them [846] again [3825], Whom [5101] seek ye [2212]? And [1161] they said [2036], Jesus [2424] of Nazareth [3480].
⁸ Jesus [2424] answered [611], I have told [2036] you [5213] that [3754] I [1473] am [1510] he: if [1487] therefore [3767] ye seek [2212] me [1691], let [863] these [5128] go their way [5217]:
⁹ That [2443] the saying [3056] might be fulfilled [4137], which [3739] he spake [2036], [3754] Of [1537] them [846] which [3739] thou gavest [1325] me [3427] have I [3756] lost [622] none [3762].
¹⁰ Then [3767] Simon [4613] Peter [4074] having [2192] a sword [3162] drew [1670] it [846], and [2532] smote [3817] the high priest's [749] servant [1401], and [2532] cut off [609] his [846] right [1188] ear [5621]. [1161] The servant's [1401] name [3686] was [2258] Malchus [3124].
¹¹ Then [3767] said [2036] Jesus [2424] unto Peter [4074], Put up [906] thy [4675] sword [3162] into [1519] the sheath [2336]: the cup [4221] which [3739] my Father [3962] hath given [1325] me [3427], shall I [4095] not [3378] drink [4095] it [846]?
¹² Then [3767] the band [4686] and [2532] the captain [5506] and [2532] officers [5257] of the Jews [2453] took [4815] Jesus [2424], and [2532] bound [1210] him [846],
¹³ And [2532] led [520] him [846] away [520] to [4314] Annas [452] first [4412]; for [1063] he was [2258] father in law [3995] to Caiaphas [2533], which [3739] was [2258] the high priest [749] that same [1565] year [1763].

¹² And the altars [04196] that were on the top [01406] of the upper chamber [05944] of Ahaz [0271], which the kings [04428] of Judah [03063] had made [06213], and the altars [04196] which Manasseh [04519] had made [06213] in the two [08147] courts [02691] of the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], did the king [04428] beat down [05422], and brake them down [07323] from thence, and cast [07993] the dust [06083] of them into the brook [05158] Kidron [06939].

⁶ And he brought out [03318] the grove [0842] from the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], without [02351] Jerusalem [03389], unto the brook [05158] Kidron [06939], and burned [08313] it at the brook [05158] Kidron [06939], and stamped it small [01854] to powder [06083], and cast [07993] the powder [06083] thereof upon the graves [06913] of the children [01121] of the people [05971].

¹⁴ And they arose [06965] and took away [05493] the altars [04196] that were in Jerusalem [03389], and all the altars for incense [06999] took they away [05493], and cast [07993] them into the brook [05158] Kidron [06939].

¹⁶ And also concerning Maachah [04601] the mother [0517] of Asa [0609] the king [04428], he removed [05493] her from being queen [01377], because she had made [06213] an idol [04656] in a grove [0842]: and Asa [0609] cut down [03772] her idol [04656], and stamped [01854] it, and burnt [08313] it at the brook [05158] Kidron [06939].

¹³ And also Maachah [04601] his mother [0517], even her he removed [05493] from being queen [01377], because she had made [06213] an idol [04656] in a grove [0842]; and Asa [0609] destroyed [03772] her idol [04656], and burnt [08313] it by the brook [05158] Kidron [06939].

⁷ Now when I had returned [07725], behold, at the bank [08193] of the river [05158] were very [03966] many [07227] trees [06086] on the one side and on the other.

⁶ And he said [0559] unto me, Son [01121] of man [0120], hast thou seen [07200] this? Then he brought [03212] me, and caused me to return [07725] to the brink [08193] of the river [05158].

⁵ Afterward he measured [04058] a thousand [0505]; and it was a river [05158] that I could [03201] not pass over [05674]: for the waters [04325] were risen [01342], waters [04325] to swim in [07813], a river [05158] that could not be passed over [05674].

¹⁶ And the priests [03548] went [0935] into the inner part [06441] of the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], to cleanse [02891] it, and brought out [03318] all the uncleanness [02932] that they found [04672] in the temple [01964] of the LORD [03068] into the court [02691] of the house [01004] of the LORD [03068]. And the Levites [03881] took [06901] it, to carry it out [03318] abroad [02351] into the brook [05158] Kidron [06939].

²³ And all the country [0776] wept [01058] with a loud [01419] voice [06963], and all the people [05971] passed over [05674]: the king [04428] also himself passed over [05674] the brook [05158] Kidron [06939], and all the people [05971] passed over [05674], toward [06440] the way [01870] of the wilderness [04057].
²⁴ And lo Zadok [06659] also, and all the Levites [03881] were with him, bearing [05375] the ark [0727] of the covenant [01285] of God [0430]: and they set down [03332] the ark [0727] of God [0430]; and Abiathar [054] went up [05927], until all the people [05971] had done [08552] passing [05674] out of the city [05892].
²⁵ And the king [04428] said [0559] unto Zadok [06659], Carry back [07725] the ark [0727] of God [0430] into the city [05892]: if I shall find [04672] favour [02580] in the eyes [05869] of the LORD [03068], he will bring me again [07725], and shew [07200] me both it, and his habitation [05116]:
²⁶ But if he thus say [0559], I have no delight [02654] in thee; behold, here am I, let him do [06213] to me as seemeth [05869] good [02896] unto him.
²⁷ The king [04428] said [0559] also unto Zadok [06659] the priest [03548], Art not thou a seer [07200]? return [07725] into the city [05892] in peace [07965], and your two [08147] sons [01121] with you, Ahimaaz [0290] thy son [01121], and Jonathan [03083] the son [01121] of Abiathar [054].
²⁸ See [07200], I will tarry [04102] in the plain [06160] [05679] of the wilderness [04057], until there come [0935] word [01697] from you to certify [05046] me.
²⁹ Zadok [06659] therefore and Abiathar [054] carried [07725] the ark [0727] of God [0430] again [07725] to Jerusalem [03389]: and they tarried [03427] there.
³⁰ And David [01732] went up [05927] by the ascent [04608] of mount Olivet [02132], and wept [01058] as he went up [05927], and had his head [07218] covered [02645], and he went [01980] barefoot [03182]: and all the people [05971] that was with him covered [02645] every man [0376] his head [07218], and they went up [05927], weeping [01058] as they went up [05927].

³⁹ And [2532] he came out [1831], and went [4198], as [2596] he was wont [1485], to [1519] the mount [3735] of Olives [1636]; and [1161] his [846] disciples [3101] also [2532] followed [190] him [846].
⁴⁰ And [1161] when he was [1096] at [1909] the place [5117], he said [2036] unto them [846], Pray [4336] that ye enter [1525] not [3361] into [1519] temptation [3986].
⁴¹ And [2532] he [846] was withdrawn [645] from [575] them [846] about [5616] a stone's [3037] cast [1000], and [2532] kneeled down [5087] [1119], and prayed [4336],
⁴² Saying [3004], Father [3962], if [1487] thou be willing [1014], remove [3911] [3911] this [5124] cup [4221] from [575] me [1700]: nevertheless [4133] not [3361] my [3450] will [2307], but [235] thine [4674], be done [1096].
⁴³ And [1161] there appeared [3700] an angel [32] unto him [846] from [575] heaven [3772], strengthening [1765] him [846].
⁴⁴ And [2532] being [1096] in [1722] an agony [74] he prayed [4336] more earnestly [1617]: and [1161] his [846] sweat [2402] was [1096] as it were [5616] great drops [2361] of blood [129] falling down [2597] to [1909] the ground [1093].
⁴⁵ And [2532] when he rose up [450] from [575] prayer [4335], and was come [2064] to [4314] his [846] disciples [3101], he found [2147] them [846] sleeping [2837] for [575] sorrow [3077],
⁴⁶ And [2532] said [2036] unto them [846], Why [5101] sleep ye [2518]? rise [450] and pray [4336], lest [3363] ye enter [1525] into [1519] temptation [3986].

³² And [2532] they came [2064] to [1519] a place [5564] which [3739] was named [3686] Gethsemane [1068]: and [2532] he saith [3004] to his [846] disciples [3101], Sit ye [2523] here [5602], while [2193] I shall pray [4336].
³³ And [2532] he taketh [3880] with [3326] him [1438] Peter [4074] and [2532] James [2385] and [2532] John [2491], and [2532] began [756] to be sore amazed [1568], and [2532] to be very heavy [85];
³⁴ And [2532] saith [3004] unto them [846], My [3450] soul [5590] is [2076] exceeding sorrowful [4036] unto [2193] death [2288]: tarry ye [3306] here [5602], and [2532] watch [1127].
³⁵ And [2532] he went forward [4281] a little [3397], and fell [4098] on [1909] the ground [1093], and [2532] prayed [4336] that [2443], if [1487] it were [2076] possible [1415], the hour [5610] might pass [3928] from [575] him [846].
³⁶ And [2532] he said [3004], Abba [5], Father [3962], all things [3956] are possible [1415] unto thee [4671]; take away [3911] this [5124] cup [4221] from [575] me [1700]: nevertheless [235] not [3756] what [5101] I [1473] will [2309], but [235] what [5101] thou [4771] wilt.
³⁷ And [2532] he cometh [2064], and [2532] findeth [2147] them [846] sleeping [2518], and [2532] saith [3004] unto Peter [4074], Simon [4613], sleepest thou [2518]? couldest [2480] not [3756] thou watch [1127] one [3391] hour [5610]?
³⁸ Watch ye [1127] and [2532] pray [4336], lest [3363] ye enter [1525] into [1519] temptation [3986]. The spirit [4151] truly [3303] is ready [4289], but [1161] the flesh [4561] is weak [772].
³⁹ And [2532] again [3825] he went away [565], and prayed [4336], and spake [2036] the same [846] words [3056].
⁴⁰ And [2532] when he returned [5290], he found [2147] them [846] asleep [2518] again [3825], (for [1063] their [846] eyes [3788] were [2258] heavy [916] neither [2532] [3756] wist they [1492] what [5101] to answer [611] him [846].
⁴¹ And [2532] he cometh [2064] the third time [5154], and [2532] saith [3004] unto them [846], Sleep on [2518] now [3063], and [2532] take your rest [373]: it is enough [566], the hour [5610] is come [2064]; behold [2400], the Son [5207] of man [444] is betrayed [3860] into [1519] the hands [5495] of sinners [268].
⁴² Rise up [1453], let us go [71]; lo [2400], he that betrayeth [3860] me [3165] is at hand [1448].

²⁶ And [2532] when they had sung an hymn [5214], they went out [1831] into [1519] the mount [3735] of Olives [1636].

³⁶ Then [5119] cometh [2064] Jesus [2424] with [3326] them [846] unto [1519] a place [5564] called [3004] Gethsemane [1068], and [2532] saith [3004] unto the disciples [3101], Sit ye [2523] here [847], while [2193] [3739] I go [565] and pray [4336] yonder [1563].
³⁷ And [2532] he took with him [3880] Peter [4074] and [2532] the two [1417] sons [5207] of Zebedee [2199], and began [756] to be sorrowful [3076] and [2532] very heavy [85].
³⁸ Then [5119] saith he [3004] unto them [846], My [3450] soul [5590] is [2076] exceeding sorrowful [4036], even unto [2193] death [2288]: tarry ye [3306] here [5602], and [2532] watch [1127] with [3326] me [1700].
³⁹ And [2532] he went [4281] a little [3397] further [4281], and fell [4098] on [1909] his [846] face [4383], and [2532] prayed [4336], saying [3004], O my [3450] Father [3962], if [1487] it be [2076] possible [1415], let [3928] this [5124] cup [4221] pass [3928] from [575] me [1700]: nevertheless [4133] not [3756] as [5613] I [1473] will [2309], but [235] as [5613] thou [4771] wilt.
⁴⁰ And [2532] he cometh [2064] unto [4314] the disciples [3101], and [2532] findeth [2147] them [846] asleep [2518], and [2532] saith [3004] unto Peter [4074], What [3779], could ye [2480] not [3756] watch [1127] with [3326] me [1700] one [3391] hour [5610]?
⁴¹ Watch [1127] and [2532] pray [4336], that [3363] ye enter [1525] not [3363] into [1519] temptation [3986]: the spirit [4151] indeed [3303] is willing [4289], but [1161] the flesh [4561] is weak [772].
⁴² He went away [565] again [3825] the [1537] second time [1208], and prayed [4336], saying [3004], O my [3450] Father [3962], if [1487] this [5124] cup [4221] may [1410] not [3756] pass away [3928] from [575] me [1700], except [3362] I drink [4095] it [846], thy [4675] will [2307] be done [1096].
⁴³ And [2532] he came [2064] and found [2147] them [846] asleep [2518] again [3825]: for [1063] their [846] eyes [3788] were [2258] heavy [916].
⁴⁴ And [2532] he left [863] them [846], and went away [565] again [3825], and prayed [4336] [1537] the third time [5154], saying [2036] the same [846] words [3056].
⁴⁵ Then [5119] cometh he [2064] to [4314] his [846] disciples [3101], and [2532] saith [3004] unto them [846], Sleep on [2518] now [3063], and [2532] take your rest [373]: behold [2400], the hour [5610] is at hand [1448], and [2532] the Son [5207] of man [444] is betrayed [3860] into [1519] the hands [5495] of sinners [268].
⁴⁶ Rise [1453], let us be going [71]: behold [2400], he is at hand [1448] that doth betray [3860] me [3165].

³⁰ And [2532] when they had sung an hymn [5214], they went out [1831] into [1519] the mount [3735] of Olives [1636].

²⁶ And [2532] when they had sung an hymn [5214], they went out [1831] into [1519] the mount [3735] of Olives [1636].

³⁰ And [2532] when they had sung an hymn [5214], they went out [1831] into [1519] the mount [3735] of Olives [1636].

⁴⁰ And [1161] when he was [1096] at [1909] the place [5117], he said [2036] unto them [846], Pray [4336] that ye enter [1525] not [3361] into [1519] temptation [3986].
⁴¹ And [2532] he [846] was withdrawn [645] from [575] them [846] about [5616] a stone's [3037] cast [1000], and [2532] kneeled down [5087] [1119], and prayed [4336],
⁴² Saying [3004], Father [3962], if [1487] thou be willing [1014], remove [3911] [3911] this [5124] cup [4221] from [575] me [1700]: nevertheless [4133] not [3361] my [3450] will [2307], but [235] thine [4674], be done [1096].
⁴³ And [1161] there appeared [3700] an angel [32] unto him [846] from [575] heaven [3772], strengthening [1765] him [846].
⁴⁴ And [2532] being [1096] in [1722] an agony [74] he prayed [4336] more earnestly [1617]: and [1161] his [846] sweat [2402] was [1096] as it were [5616] great drops [2361] of blood [129] falling down [2597] to [1909] the ground [1093].

³⁰ And [2532] Jesus [2424] saith [3004] unto him [846], Verily [281] I say [3004] unto thee [4671], That [3754] this day [4594], even in [1722] this [5026] night [3571], before [4250] [2228] the cock [220] crow [5455] twice [1364], thou shalt deny [533] me [3165] thrice [5151].
³¹ But [1161] he spake [3004] the more [3123] vehemently [1537] [4053], If [1437] I [3165] should [1163] die with [4880] thee [4671], I will not [3364] deny [533] thee [4571] in any wise [3364]. Likewise [5615] also [1161] [2532] said they [3004] all [3956].
³² And [2532] they came [2064] to [1519] a place [5564] which [3739] was named [3686] Gethsemane [1068]: and [2532] he saith [3004] to his [846] disciples [3101], Sit ye [2523] here [5602], while [2193] I shall pray [4336].
³³ And [2532] he taketh [3880] with [3326] him [1438] Peter [4074] and [2532] James [2385] and [2532] John [2491], and [2532] began [756] to be sore amazed [1568], and [2532] to be very heavy [85];
³⁴ And [2532] saith [3004] unto them [846], My [3450] soul [5590] is [2076] exceeding sorrowful [4036] unto [2193] death [2288]: tarry ye [3306] here [5602], and [2532] watch [1127].
³⁵ And [2532] he went forward [4281] a little [3397], and fell [4098] on [1909] the ground [1093], and [2532] prayed [4336] that [2443], if [1487] it were [2076] possible [1415], the hour [5610] might pass [3928] from [575] him [846].
³⁶ And [2532] he said [3004], Abba [5], Father [3962], all things [3956] are possible [1415] unto thee [4671]; take away [3911] this [5124] cup [4221] from [575] me [1700]: nevertheless [235] not [3756] what [5101] I [1473] will [2309], but [235] what [5101] thou [4771] wilt.
