Having, to complete the history of the passion, especially as to what is said of it by Matthew, Mark, and Luke, in my notes on Matthew considered all passages relating to what Matthew saith, the things here mentioned being opened in our notes on Mat 26:50-56<\/span>, need not here again be enlarged upon. <\/P> See Poole on “Mat 26:50<\/span>“, and following verses to Mat 26:56<\/span>. <\/P> <\/p>\n And they laid hands on him, and took him.<\/strong> After Christ had said to Judas, “friend, wherefore art thou come?” as in Matthew; and also, “Judas, betrayest thou the son of man with a kiss?” as in<\/p>\n Lu 22:48<\/span>;<\/p>\n [See comments on Mt 26:50]<\/span>.<\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n 1) “And they laid their hands on Him,”<\/strong> (hoi de epebalan tas cheiras) “Then they (the arresting band), Roman captains of the temple, laid their hands upon Him,” without compassion, as if He were a jail-breaking thug, Joh 18:12<\/span>.<\/p>\n 2) “And took Him.”<\/strong> (kai ekratesan. auton) “And in this manner they seized (grabbed) or nabbed Him,” those of the treacherous religious band who had come, led by Judas Iscariot, Mat 26:57<\/span>; Luk 22:54<\/span>. From there they led Him to Caiphas, the High Priest’s palace where He was taken through the first of six illegal (farce) trials, Mat 26:57-59<\/span>.<\/p>\n (46-50) Took him.<\/strong>Better, as before, seized.<\/em> See Notes on Mat. 26:51-56<\/span>.<\/p>\n ‘And they laid hands on him and took him.’<\/p>\n It was done. He was taken. For the watching disciples devastation beyond bearing. Surely something must happen to stop it? For the Jewish leadership triumph. They had feared the worst but had discovered that nothing did happen. For the Temple police relief. Nothing had happened. For the Roman soldiers just another duty. They had not expected anything to happen. For the angels in heaven awaiting the word of command, frustration. They were itching to make it happen. For His Father sacrifice beyond all sacrifices. Nothing would be allowed to happen.<\/p>\n The capture:<\/p>\n v. 46<\/strong>. And they laid their hands on Him, and took Him.<\/strong><\/p>\n v. 47<\/strong>. And one of them that stood by drew a sword, and smote a servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.<\/strong><\/p>\n v. 48<\/strong>. And Jesus answered and said unto them, Are ye come out, as against a thief, with swords and with staves to take Me?<\/strong><\/p>\n v. 49<\/strong>. I was daily with you in the Temple teaching, and ye took Me not; but the Scriptures must be fulfilled.<\/strong><\/p>\n v. 50<\/strong>. And they all forsook Him and fled.<\/strong><\/p>\n v. 51<\/strong>. And there followed Him a certain young man, having a linen cloth cast about his naked body; and the young men laid hold on him;<\/strong><\/p>\n v. 52<\/strong>. and he left the linen cloth, and fled from them naked.<\/p>\n <\/strong> Not the slightest resistance or show of resistance did Jesus show His captors. They laid their hands on Him and took Him captive, formally arrested Him. But this fact was too much for the fiery Peter, whose name is not mentioned in this account. When the profane hands of the servants touched his Master, his anger overwhelmed him. Misunderstanding a remark of the Lord made earlier in the evening concerning the necessity of being fully prepared, as for warfare, Luk 22:36-38<\/span>, Peter had brought a sword, which he now drew. Striking the servant of the high priest, he cut off his right ear. That was carnal, foolish zeal, no matter from what angle it is viewed. Christ’s work should not be carried on by means of worldly power and authority. As the kingdom of Christ is not of this world, so the means He employs for its propagation and defense have nothing in common with the measures advocated by the children of this world and by scatter-brained fanatics. The spiritual sword, the Word of God, is the only weapon of offense and of defense which the Church should wield, but that she should wield skillfully and powerfully, to confound and convince the gainsayers. At the same time, however, Jesus had a very impressive word to say to the members of the capturing party. It was a disgrace for them, it reflected upon them, that they came out with swords and with clubs, as though they were out to arrest a dangerous robber. He reminds them that they might have had opportunity daily to apprehend Him, as He taught in the Temple. This showed very plainly that the present situation was not due to their planning. It would have been an easy matter for Him to obtain His liberty. But the matter of His capture in this way was done in fulfillment of the Scriptures. Unwittingly they were serving to establish the truth of prophecy. Not only the Passion as such, but the individual incidents of Christ’s suffering had been foretold, and it was imperative that the Word of God stand true and unassailed, also against the scoffers in our days. This word of Jesus, whereby He yielded to His fate and willingly placed Himself into the hands of the enemies, proved too much for the disciples; it was the rock of offense over which they stumbled. Panic-stricken, they leave their Master and flee with precipitate haste, lest they also be caught by the band and share the Lord’s fate. All the proud, self-confident assertions of a few hours before were forgotten. Even so many Christians that were eager with their protestations of loyalty when there was no danger near have left Christ and His Word and Church at the first indication of possible suffering on His account. There is an interesting incident related at this point. It seems that a young man living in one of the houses of the neighborhood had been awakened by the noise of the party, and, hastily throwing a linen cloth about his naked body, went out to see what the trouble was about. Seeing that Christ had been captured, he followed for some distance, either out of curiosity or from apprehension for His safety. But his garment made him all the more conspicuous on the moonlight night, and therefore some members of the party from Jerusalem tried to catch him. But he slipped the linen cloth from his body, leaving it in their hands, while he escaped from them naked. From the earliest times many commentators have held that this young man was Mark himself, who tells this incident which made such a deep impression upon him on the night of Christ’s arrest, and perhaps fully decided him in the Lord’s favor.<\/p>\n on. Greek. epi. App-104. <\/p>\n Jdg 16:21, Lam 4:20, Joh 18:12, Act 2:23 <\/p>\n Reciprocal: Mat 21:39 – caught Mat 26:49 – kissed him<\/p>\n BETRAYED AND FORSAKEN<\/p>\n And they laid their bands on Him, and took Him.<\/p>\n Mar 14:46<\/p>\n I. Betrayed by a kiss.Of all preconcerted signs possible, this was the one selected; as if to show what sin has in it, and what sin can do. In Judas the sin of humanity culminates. The kiss of Judas removed whatever awe might have stricken the soldiers, and whatever reluctance they might have felt to going on with their task. They instantly laid their hands on Him Who had been thus indicated, and began to bind Him in their own merciless fashion.<\/p>\n II. Forsaken by friends.He who forsakes Christ forsakes perfection. It was not out of calm, set, deliberate purpose that they forsook their Lord. They were in a brief madness, and knew not what they did. Their souls were suddenly stormed, and the strength by which they had hitherto been kept was for the moment, and for their eventual good, withdrawn. Let him that thinketh he standeth, take heed lest he fall.<\/p>\n Illustration<\/p>\n Think of the conduct of our Lords chosen Apostles, and see if it is possible for us to be like them. One betrays Him with a kiss. You belong to the band of Christs discipleschosen by Him, pledged to serve Him, professing to love Him. See that you are not tempted to give Him up. No sin so hateful to man as treachery; and nothing so painful to Christ as when those who profess to be His go over to the enemy. All forsake Him. Although all had declared they would die with him (Mar 14:31), their courage failed; thought only of their own safety; showing how weak man is. If they had watched and prayed they would have been prepared. See how important that we should be ready. Only by watching and praying can we stand up for Jesus.<\/p>\n 6<\/p>\n They means the mob composed of the chief priests and scribes.<\/p>\n Mar 14:46. Mark omits our Lords words to Judas.<\/p>\n Mar 14:46-49. They laid their hands on him, and took him After they had first gone backward, and fallen to the ground, upon Jesuss saying, I am he, as is recorded Joh 18:5-6. This paragraph is explained in the notes on Mat 26:51-56.<\/p>\n And they laid their hands on him, and took him.
