John 18:4. Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said unto them, Whom seek ye?
It is a wonderfully suggestive thought that Jesus knew everything that would happen to him. Martyrs and other sufferers for Christ’s sake have had some measure of foresight of what they had to endure; but none of them could have so exquisite a foretaste of everything as our blessed Lord had. He knew it all, -every single atom of pain, and anguish, and heartbreak. He knew it all, yet he calmly "went forth" to meet it, and said to those who came to drag him away to his death, "Whom seek ye?"
