Christ Before Annas, Caiaphas, and Pilate

1-14. Christ's arrest and trial before Annas (cp. Matthew 26:30 = Mark 14:26 = Luke 22:39). The narrative is now parallel with the synoptic account, with which, though obviously independent, it closely agrees. Our Lord's agony in the garden is omitted as well known, but it is alluded to (John 18:11), and the evangelist elsewhere uses language quite as definite as that of the synoptists in speaking of His agony of mind at the prospect of death (John 12:27; John 13:21). In this Gospel, as in the others, the sufferer, though divine, is 'a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief.'
