IT IS FINISHED
John 18-19
1. Why did Jesus go to a place known to Judas Iscariot (18:1-2)? How did Jesus greet the soldiers (4-6)? What was Jesus’ main concern and goal (7-11)?
2. How did Jesus' words to Peter come true (17, 25-27, 13:38)? What drove him? Nevertheless, how did Peter become ‘a witness to the truth’ (37b, Ac 4:8-20)?
3. By whom was Jesus interrogated during the night (12-14, 19-24)? Why did the religious leaders take Jesus to Pilate (28-32)? What do their words and actions say about them (40, 19:15, Jn 8:44)?
4. What did Jesus say to Pilate about himself and his kingdom (33-37)? Why couldn't Pilate find the truth through one-on-one study with Jesus (38)?
5. What was Pilate’s conclusion about Jesus (38b, 19:4,6)? But how was Jesus treated (19:1-3, 17-18)? Why (Jn 1:29, Isa 53:3-6)?
6. Who gave Pilate the authority to crucify Jesus (9-11)? Why did Pilate eventually give Jesus up to be crucified (12-16)? After that, what did he do (19-22)? What did the soldiers do (23-24)?
7. What did Jesus do on the cross (25-29)? What does it mean that “It is finished” (30)? What other words were fulfilled after Jesus' death (31-37)? Who buried Jesus' body (38-42)?
