Jesus, having prayed fervently, now commands His disciples to rise, indicating readiness and resolve. This moment reflects Jesus' obedience to the Father's will, as seen in His earlier prayer, "Not as I will, but as You will" ( Matthew 26:39). The call to rise signifies a transition from prayer to action, embodying the principle of faith leading to works ( James 2:17). It also echoes the urgency and determination found in other biblical narratives where God’s people are called to action, such as in Exodus 14:15 when God tells Moses to move forward. See, My betrayer is approaching!”
Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve disciples, is the betrayer, fulfilling the prophecy found inPsalm 41:9, "Even my close friend, someone I trusted, one who shared my bread, has turned against me." This betrayal is a pivotal moment in the Passion narrative, setting in motion the events leading to Jesus' crucifixion. The approach of Judas with a large crowd armed with swords and clubs (Matthew 26:47) highlights the tension and gravity of the situation. It underscores the fulfillment of Jesus' earlier predictions of His betrayal (Matthew 26:21-25) and serves as a reminder of the spiritual battle between light and darkness. The betrayal by a close companion also typifies the suffering servant motif found inIsaiah 53, where the Messiah is depicted as one who is despised and rejected by men. Persons / Places / Events 1. Jesus ChristThe central figure in this passage, Jesus is in the Garden of Gethsemane, preparing to face His betrayal and subsequent crucifixion. His words reflect His readiness to fulfill His mission. 2. The DisciplesSpecifically, Peter, James, and John are with Jesus in the garden. They have been asked to keep watch and pray but have fallen asleep. 3. Judas IscariotThe betrayer mentioned in this verse, Judas, is one of the twelve disciples who has agreed to betray Jesus to the religious leaders for thirty pieces of silver. 4. Garden of GethsemaneA place of prayer and agony for Jesus, located on the Mount of Olives, where He often went with His disciples. 5. The Arresting PartyA group led by Judas, including soldiers and officials from the chief priests and Pharisees, coming to arrest Jesus. Teaching Points Readiness in ObedienceJesus's command to "rise, let us go" demonstrates His readiness to face His mission. As believers, we are called to be ready and willing to follow God's will, even when it leads to difficult circumstances. The Reality of BetrayalJesus's experience with Judas reminds us that betrayal can come from those closest to us. We must remain steadfast in our faith and trust in God's plan, even when others fail us. The Importance of VigilanceThe disciples' failure to stay awake and pray serves as a warning to us about spiritual complacency. We must remain vigilant in prayer and watchfulness, especially in times of trial. Submission to God's WillJesus's acceptance of His impending arrest and crucifixion is a powerful example of submission to God's will. We are encouraged to seek God's guidance and submit to His plans, trusting in His greater purpose. Lists and Questions Top 10 Lessons from Matthew 26
