Welcome to Day 2179 of Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom The Gospel of John \u2013 37 \u2013 Truth on Trial\xa0\u2013 Daily Wisdom Putnam Church Message \u2013 10/30/2022 The Gospel of John \u2013 Part 5: Vindication Of The Word \u2013 Truth On Trial \xa0 Today we continue our series on the Good News according to John the Apostle. Last week, Jesus continued His prayer for all believers from that day forward until Christ returns to earth to restore God\u2019s kingdom, the Global Eden. In John 17:24, Jesus said, \xa024\xa0\u201cFather, I want those you have given me\xa0to be with me where I am,\xa0and to see my glory,\xa0the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world. Our scripture for today is John 18:1-27, starting on page 1681 in the Pew Bible. According to John the Apostle, we begin the Good News's final significant segment, \u2018Vindication of the Word.\u2019 We see Jesus, the truth made flesh, Enduring Injustice With Grace in a message titled \u2018Truth on Trial.\u2019 \xa0Jesus Arrested 18\xa0When he had finished praying, Jesus left with his disciples and crossed the Kidron Valley.\xa0On the other side there was a garden,\xa0and he and his disciples went into it. 2\xa0Now Judas, who betrayed him, knew the place, because Jesus had often met there with his disciples.\xa03\xa0So Judas came to the garden, guiding\xa0a detachment of soldiers and some officials from the chief priests and the Pharisees.\xa0They were carrying torches, lanterns and weapons. 4\xa0Jesus, knowing all that was going to happen to him,\xa0went out and asked them,\xa0\u201cWho is it you want?\u201d 5\xa0\u201cJesus of Nazareth,\u201d\xa0they replied. \u201cI am he,\u201d\xa0Jesus said. (And Judas the traitor was standing there with them.)\xa06\xa0When Jesus said,\xa0\u201cI am he,\u201d\xa0they drew back and fell to the ground. 7\xa0Again he asked them,\xa0\u201cWho is it you want?\u201d \u201cJesus of Nazareth,\u201d they said. 8\xa0Jesus answered,\xa0\u201cI told you that I am he. If you are looking for me, then let these men go.\u201d\xa09\xa0This happened so that the words he had spoken would be fulfilled:\xa0\u201cI have not lost one of those you gave me.\u201d[a] 10\xa0Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it and struck the high priest\u2019s servant, cutting off his right ear. (The servant\u2019s name was Malchus.) 11\xa0Jesus commanded Peter,\xa0\u201cPut your sword away! Shall I not drink the cup\xa0the Father has given me?\u201d 12\xa0Then the detachment of soldiers with its commander and the Jewish officials\xa0arrested Jesus. They bound him\xa013\xa0and brought him first to Annas, who was the father-in-law of Caiaphas,\xa0the high priest that year.\xa014...
