4-9. Jesus . . . knowing all things that should come--were coming.
upon him, went forth--from the shade of the trees, probably, into
open view, indicating His sublime preparedness to meet His captors.
Whom seek ye?--partly to prevent a rush of the soldiery upon the
disciples [BENGEL]; and see
Mr 14:51, 52,
as showing a tendency to this: but still more as part of that courage
and majesty which so overawed them. He would not wait to be
taken.
