John 18:3

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Read in KJV Bible Reader

John 18:3. Judas then, having received a band of men and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns and torches and weapons.

What strange paraphernalia they brought with them to the garden of Gethsemane,- "lanterns" to show them the way to the Sun of righteousness, "torches" with which to find out the bright and morning Star and "weapons" with which to overcome the Lamb of God, who had nothing to oppose to them but his own innocence.
