John chapter 18
• 2. At the High Priest’s place, Jesus was
questioned, humiliated, accused and even
someone struck and then sent bound to Pilate.
• 3. Peter denies Jesus 3 times before the cock
crew, as predicted by Jesus.
• 4. Jesus had a good conversation with Pilate.
John ch 18 Jesus said to Pilate “ My kingdom is not of this
world”, to which Pilate replied, “You are the King
contd.. then”. Jesus answered, “Yes you are right, for this
reason, I was born, and for this cause, I came into
the world to testify the Truth to everyone, who
listens to me”. Pilate told Jesus that he had power
to free or crucify Him. Jesus answered you would
have no power over me if it were not given to
you from above. Pilate handed Jesus over to be
crucified.
• The Crucifixion:
• 1. Jesus carried His cross and walked to the place of the
skull called Golgatha. The soldiers crucified Him and cast
lots for His garments. Thus the scripture Psalm 22:18 was
fulfilled.
• 2. Jesus was a dutiful Son, making arrangements for His
aged mother, to be taken care of. What an example for us
to follow.
• 3. He said, “I thirst”. Then they gave Him Vinegar soaked in
chapter 19 a sponge. Psalm 69:21 fulfilled. After this Jesus said “It is
finished” and died, so the soldiers did not break His leg but
pierced His side from where came blood and water
convincing the soldier that Jesus was dead Psalm 34:20 and
Zechariah 12:10 were fulfilled –” Not one of His bones will
be broken”.
• The burial of Jesus: Joseph of Arimathea along with
Nicodemus took permission from Pilate and buried Jesus in
a new Tomb.
Chapter 20
• 1. Jesus risen from the dead, appeared to Mary Magdalene first as she
remained near the Tomb to find what had happened to the body of Jesus.
Jesus revealed himself to her and told her to go and tell His brothers.
• 2.Jesus’ appearance to His Disciples: When the disciples were gathered
together in the locked room, Jesus appeared among them with His
resurrected body. He showed them His nail-pierced hands for them to
believe. They were overjoyed to see the Lord. Jesus said “Peace be with you,
as the Father has sent me I am sending you. Receive the Holy Spirit. If you
forgive anyone his sins they are forgiven, If you do not forgive, they are not
forgiven”
• 3. Jesus’ appearance to Thomas:
• Thomas was not with other disciples when Jesus came the first time. So
Thomas said unless he sees the nail prints in His hands, he will not believe.
A week later Jesus came to the house where they met, and Jesus asked
Thomas to put his finger into His hand. Then Thomas repented and
believed.
• After this Jesus did many miracles which are not recorded.

Chapter 21
• 1.Jesus and the miraculous catch of Fish:
• Peter and a few of the disciples decided to go out Fishing.
They were in the boat and fished the whole night but could
not get any fish. Early morning Jesus came to the seashore
and asked them “Have you got any fish? They said “No”. So,
He asked them to cast the net on the right side of the boat.
They obeyed and caught so many fish that they could not pull
the net, and the net was not breaking as they lifted. Then
they recognized that it was Jesus.
• When they came to the shore, they saw Jesus and were
surprised to see the fire of burning coals, the fish on it, along
with some bread to eat. Jesus called them to come and dine.
• What a wonderful Jesus we have who can make things out of
nothing
