Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem
The Gospel of John
(New Testament)
John 18
Jesus Arrested
18 When he had finished praying, Jesus left with his disciples and crossed the Kidron Valley. On the other side there was a garden, and he and his disciples went into it.
2 Now Judas, who betrayed him, knew the place, because Jesus had often met there with his disciples. 3 So Judas came to the garden, guiding a detachment of soldiers and some officials from the chief priests and the Pharisees. They were carrying torches, lanterns and weapons.
4 Jesus, knowing all that was going to happen to him, went out and asked them, Who is it you want?
5 Jesus of Nazareth, they replied.
I am he, Jesus said. (And Judas the traitor was standing there with them.) 6 When Jesus said, I am he, they drew back and fell to the ground.
7 Again he asked them, Who is it you want?
Jesus of Nazareth, they said.
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.[a]
10 Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it and struck the high priests servant, cutting off his right ear. (The servants name was Malchus.)
11 Jesus commanded Peter, Put your sword away! Shall I not drink the cup the Father has given me?
12 Then the detachment of soldiers with its commander and the Jewish officials arrested Jesus. They bound him 13 and brought him first to Annas, who was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, the high priest that year. 14 Caiaphas was the one who had advised the Jewish leaders that it would be good if one man died for the people.
(End of Scripture Passage)
Once again, John gives us details that are absent from the Synoptic Gospels. We learn the name of the servant whose ear was cut off, and then restored. We also see the strange scene of the mob falling backwards every time Jesus declares Himself. That is an interesting little detail that seems quite relevant to TODAY.

Our Lord and Heavenly Father
You Are The Source of My Strength
You Are My Stronghold,
And My Only Refuge!
Yet, the enemy oppresses me from every side,
They mock and laugh at me,
And say "Where is your god?"
You Alone Are The One Who can Vindicate me
You Alone are the Righteous Judge Over all.
We Pray For The Peace of Jerusalem,
According to Your Will and Promise.
We Pray For the People and Leaders of Israel,
that They Will Look to You for the Protection
and Prosperity of their Nation.
We Also Pray For Revival in our own Beloved USA.
We Pray For The Leaders of Our Nation,
May They Be Inspired and Led By You,
And Please Guide Them in All Things.

Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem
Humans, when faced with arrest, will often say strange, foolish things that range from "You've got the wrong guy!", or "I didn't do nuthin'!" or even, "It wasn't ME!" It is because of the damage that such outbursts can cause that our system of justice includes "The Right To Remain Silent". Most of us know the Miranda Warning by heart just from watching "Dragnet" or "Law and Order" on TV. And yet, there are still lawyers who will argue for their clients that the Miranda Warning wasn't pronounced loud enough, or in the correct dialect, for the accused to understand. Thus, incriminating statements and confessions get thrown out on technicalities.
The flip side of this occurs when the rights of the accused are discarded for political or ideological reasons. We have all endured several weeks of excruciating turmoil based upon this very thing. The whole process has made me very angry and upset and has messed with my sleep patterns and attitude. But...it has also caused me to PRAY a lot more!
When Jesus was arrested in the Garden, he made no denials. He came right out and said "I Am The One You Are Looking For." In John's Gospel, we see that these words are enough to stun the crowd momentarily, like a Force Field of Truth. Peter's feeble attempts at defending Jesus result only in some poor servant named Malchus getting his ear cut off (which Jesus restores right in front of everybody!). Jesus is not guilty of anything, but He doesn't resist arrest. He knows what is coming next, and it is all part of the Plan.
Come and Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem, For Our FRiends in Need, For Persecuted Believers, and For Our Beloved Nation.

He came right out and said "I Am The One You Are Looking For." I think of the first part of this Doc Holiday scene: I'm Your Huckleberry - Tombstone
Joining in prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem.
Praise to our Lord, who hears and answers prayer!
