To study John 18 in a group
1. What it says
When they come to arrest him in the garden, what does Jesus ask them, what does Peter do, and what does Jesus say to him? (vv. 3-11)
2. What it means
Pilate asks if Jesus is a king, and he answers, “My kingdom is not of this world” (vv. 33-37). What does he say he came to do?
3. How I live it
Peter denied Jesus three times by the fire (vv. 15-27). When is it hard for you to say openly who you are and what you believe?
