1. If you had been one of Jesus' disciples, what emotions would have gripped you when the soldiers arrived at the garden?
I would have been upset that they were coming after Jesus and fearful that I would be taken away too.
2. Why would Jesus go to a place where Judas knew he might be found (vv. 1-3)?
Because Jesus' desire was to fulfill His Father's plan. Jesus wasn't going to run from what He had come to do.
3. When the soldiers say they are seeking Jesus of Nazareth, Jesus replies "I am he" (v. 5). How would you explain the reaction of the soldiers (v. 6)?
They were probably in shock that He admitted without struggle who He was, and amazed by the peace that Jesus possessed.
4. What insight do Peter's action and Jesus' rebuke (v. 11) give you about your attempts to act out of your own strength and wisdom?
It makes me realize that my rash judgments and actions to circumstances that God has ordained are just evidences of my spiritual immaturity. The more I rely on God's strength, the more I will be able to display control in tough situations.
