knew the place Therefore Christ did not go thither to hide or escape, as Celsus scoffingly asserted. Origen (Cels.ii. 10) appeals to John 18:4 as proving that Jesus deliberately surrendered Himself.

ofttimes Comp. John 8:1, and see on Luke 21:37; Luke 22:39. The owner must have known of these gatherings, and may himself have been a disciple.
