Matthew 26:47 - 26:56

Gospel of MatthewSteve Gregg
In this passage, Steve Gregg examines Matthew 26:47-56, where Jesus is betrayed by Judas in the garden of Gethsemane. Gregg notes that Jesus refers to Judas as "friend," despite his treacherous intent, and points out the differing accounts of Peter's response to the soldiers' arrival among the gospels. He also explains that Jesus' words about twelve legions of angels were likely not a call to violence, but rather an indication that he could have easily avoided arrest if he wished. In Gregg's analysis, he emphasizes the importance of understanding the context and language used in biblical passages.
