John 18:3-12
The 4th Garden/Mountain/Jesus way of telling a story.
Three different things happen when Jesus is found in the garden and will be taken.
(Garden Story) 		Comments on the
John Section
Garden John 18:3-6
3Judas then, having received a band of men and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns and torches and weapons. 4Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said unto them, Whom seek ye? 5They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, I am he. And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with them. 6As soon then as he had said unto them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground.

Whom seek ye? Jesus. But they don’t reach out for Him but instead fall. This is a picture of the Tree of Life in the Garden, Adam could have reach out for it but he didn’t, Adam “falls” in the Garden after not reaching for the Tree of Life.

Judas is like Eve in the Garden, Satan enter Judas and Satan “entered” Eve.
Mountain John 18:7-9
7Then asked he them again, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth. 8Jesus answered, I have told you that I am he: if therefore ye seek me, let these go their way: 9That the saying might be fulfilled, which he spake, Of them which thou gavest me have I lost none.

Whom seek ye? Jesus. Jesus says “let these go”. Sounds like the Moses/Mountain story. They had to be let go out of Egypt (with none lost) to get to God on the Mountain but still don’t reach out for Him, just like the ones that come for Jesus don’t reach out for him.
Jesus John 18:10-12
10Then Simon Peter having a sword drew it, and smote the high priest’s servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant’s name was Malchus. 11Then said Jesus unto Peter, Put up thy sword into the sheath: the cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it? 12Then the band and the captain and officers of the Jews took Jesus, and bound him,

Peter fulfills his own words to Jesus and lays his life on the line. He is acting as the Cherubims with the sword guarding the Tree of Life. He is guarding the Man of Life but he is missing the flaming sword.

Finally the army reaches out for Jesus but not to make him their “Choice for Life” but to kill Him. Man finally choices correctly but for the wrong reason.

Just like in the Garden of Eden when the wrong choice is made and the Tree of Life was protected by Creatures with flaming swords turning every way, Jesus as the Man of Life is led away by an army of sword and torch carrying men. The disciples can no longer reach out and touch the Man of Life.
