Curious to know your thoughts on these verses of Scripture (John 18)

[farouk]

Interesting to note in these verses is the mention of Malchus. Found in all 4 gospels - Matthew 26:51, Mark 14:47, Luke 22:50–51, and John 18:10–1.

Apparently it was the last miracle that Jesus performed before his resurrection. [Luke 22:50-51] Perhaps this healing was recorded because Luke was a physician, IDK but it was significant because this servant of the high priest will always be remembered through biblical history.

8 Jesus answered, “I told you that I am he. If you are looking for me, then let these men go.” 9 This happened so that the words he had spoken would be fulfilled: “I have not lost one of those you gave me.”
This relates to John 17:12
12 While I was with them, I kept them in your name, which you have given me. I have guarded them, and not one of them has been lost except the son of destruction, that the Scripture might be fulfilled.

11 Jesus commanded Peter, “Put your sword away! Shall I not drink the cup the Father has given me?”

Jesus prayer to his Father re: removing this cup but according to God's will, can be found in Matt26:39, Mark 143:36 and Luke 22:42 but in John he says:
John 17:13 says:
13 But now I am coming to you, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy fulfilled in themselves.

Another interesting thing was the meaning of Malchus' name. In Hebrew it means: My King, Kingdom or counselor. Perhaps that is why Jesus said: "Shall I not drink the cup the Father has given me?”

@Angelina Also, in the Garden the Lord Jesus said about bringing a sword...but when Peter used it the Lord Jesus disapproved: He wanted to show that He was going to the Cross voluntarily, it indeed seems.............

 

[Waiting on him]

Jesus did suffer a brutal death, the wrath of mankind was put upon Him, by these things that happen. One could say he took on the sin of the world upon him during this time. Amazing that, even though this terrible happened, he was resurrected from the dead, and had eventually overcome all of his enemies and became the Lord God Almighty.

Jesus suffered temptations of the flesh like all of us do, and he by his free will choice decided to freely serve God and do his will, in which lead to the whole world being reconciled back unto God.

In John 18:20 Jesus says the world was the Jews?

 

[MatthewG]

What?

In John 18:20 Jesus says the world was the Jews?

Jesus has spoken openly to the world, not just the Jews of His day during the First Advent. Jesus' words were meant for all of the people of the world like every people group, not just the Jews as you are suggesting.

Here is a list of where the Greek word κόσμῳ is also found used in the New Testament and used in the sense of all the people of the earth/world, not just the "Jewish world" as you have suggested: -
