JOHN—NOTE ON John 18:1 These chapters tell of Jesus’ betrayal by Judas (John 18:1), his informal hearing before Annas (John 18:12), his Roman trial before Pilate (John 18:28), and his crucifixion and burial (John 19:16). Only John reports Jesus’ appearance before Annas, and the Roman trial is covered in more detail than in the Synoptic Gospels. John does not provide an account of Jesus’ formal Jewish trial before Caiaphas and the Sanhedrin. John emphasizes that everything occurring in this final week fulfills Scripture and occurs in accordance with God’s plan.
