Contextual Overview

1 JESUS said these things and went out with his disciples across the brook Kidron, to a place where there was a garden, where he and his disciples entered. 2 Judas the traitor also knew that place; because Jesus and his disciples frequently gathered there. 3 Judas, therefore, took a company of soldiers, and also guards from the high priests and the Pharisees, and he came there with torches and lamps and weapons. 4 Jesus, knowing everything that was to happen, went out and said to them. Whom do you want? 5 They said to him, Jesus the Nazarene. Jesus said to them, I am he. Judas the traitor was also standing with them. 6 When Jesus said to them, I am he, they drew back and fell to the ground. 7 Jesus again asked them, Whom do you want? They said, Jesus the Nazarene. 8 Jesus said to them, I have told you that I am he; if then you want me, let these men go away; 9 That the word which he said might be fulfilled, Of those whom you gave me, I have lost not even one. 10 But Simon Peter had a sword, and he drew it and struck the high priest''s servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant''s name was Malech.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And Judas also which betrayed him, knew the place,.... This character is given of Judas, to distinguish him from another disciple of the same name; and though as yet he had not betrayed him, yet it was determined he should, and Christ knew it, and he was now about to do it: and it is observed, that Judas was as well acquainted with the place of Christ's resort, and knew the garden he frequently retired to, as the rest of the disciples; to show that Christ did not go there to hide and secure himself from him, but to meet him, and that he might have an opportunity of finding him with the greater case:

for Jesus often times resorted thither with his disciples; when at Jerusalem at any of the feasts, and at this festival; partly for refreshment and rest after he had been preaching in the temple, and partly for prayer, and also for private conversation with his disciples.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Jesus ofttimes resorted thither - For what purpose he went there is not declared, but it is probable that it was for retirement and prayer. He had no home in the city, and he sought this place, away from the bustle and confusion of the capital, for private communion with God. Every Christian should have some place - be it a grove, a room, or a garden - where he may be alone and offer his devotions to God. We are not told much of the private habits of Jesus, but we are permitted to know so much of him as to be assured that he was accustomed to seek for a place of retirement, and during the great feasts of the Jews the Mount of Olives was the place which he chose, Luke 21:37; Matthew 21:17; John 8:1.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse John 18:2. Judas - knew the place — As many had come from different quarters to celebrate the passover at Jerusalem, it could not be an easy matter to find lodging in the city: Jesus therefore chose to pass the night in the garden with his disciples which, from this verse, and from Luke 22:39, we find was his frequent custom, though he often lodged in Bethany. But, as he had supped in the city this evening, Judas took it for granted that he had not gone to Bethany, and therefore was to be met with in the garden; and, having given this information to the priests, they gave him some soldiers and others that he might be the better enabled to seize and bring him away.
