183:2.1 After [[Judas Iscariot|Judas]] so abruptly left the table while eating the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_179 Last Supper], he went directly to the [[home]] of his cousin, and then did the two go straight to the captain of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_temple the temple] guards. [[Judas Iscariot|Judas]] requested the captain to assemble the guards and informed him that he was ready to [[lead]] them to [[Jesus]]. [[Judas Iscariot|Judas]] having [[appeared]] on the scene a little before he was [[expected]], there was some [[delay]] in getting started for the [[John Mark|Mark]] [[home]], where [[Judas Iscariot|Judas]] [[expected]] to find [[Jesus]] still [[visiting]] with [[the apostles]]. [[The Master]] and [[the eleven]] left the [[home]] of Elijah Mark fully fifteen minutes before the [[betrayer]] and the guards arrived. By the time the apprehenders reached the [[John Mark|Mark]] [[home]], [[Jesus]] and [[the eleven]] were well outside the walls of the [[city]] and on their way to the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_of_Olives Olivet] camp.
183:2.2 [[Judas Iscariot|Judas]] was much perturbed by this [[failure]] to find [[Jesus]] at the [[John Mark|Mark]] residence and in the company of eleven men, only [[two]] of whom were [[armed]] for [[resistance]]. He happened to [[know]] that, in the afternoon when they had left camp, only [[Simon Peter]] and [[Simon Zelotes]] were girded with [[swords]]; [[Judas Iscariot|Judas]] had [[hoped]] to take [[Jesus]] when the [[city]] was [[quiet]], and when there was little [[chance]] of [[resistance]]. The [[betrayer]] [[feared]] that, if he waited for them to return to their camp, more than threescore of [[devoted]] [[disciples]] would be encountered, and he also knew that [[Simon Zelotes]] had an ample store of [[arms]] in his [[possession]]. [[Judas Iscariot|Judas]] was becoming increasingly nervous as he [[meditated]] how [[the eleven]] [[loyal]] [[apostles]] would detest him, and he [[feared]] they would all seek to [[Murder|destroy]] him. He was not only disloyal, but he was a real [[coward]] at [[heart]].
183:2.3 When they [[failed]] to find [[Jesus]] in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cenacle upper chamber], [[Judas Iscariot|Judas]] asked the captain of the guard to return to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_temple the temple]. By this time the rulers had begun to assemble at the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kohen_Gadol high priest]'s [[home]] [[preparatory]] to [[receiving]] [[Jesus]], seeing that their bargain with the [[traitor]] called for [[Jesus]]' [[arrest]] by midnight of that day. [[Judas Iscariot|Judas]] [[explained]] to his [[associates]] that they had missed [[Jesus]] at the [[John Mark|Mark]] [[home]], and that it would be [[necessary]] to go to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gethsemane Gethsemane] to [[arrest]] him. The [[betrayer]] then went on to state that more than threescore [[devoted]] followers were encamped with him, and that they were all well [[armed]]. The rulers of the [[Jews]] reminded [[Judas Iscariot|Judas]] that [[Jesus]] had always [[preached]] [[nonresistance]], but [[Judas Iscariot|Judas]] replied that they could not depend upon all [[Jesus]]' followers [[obeying]] such teaching. He really [[feared]] for himself and therefore made [[bold]] to ask for a company of forty [[armed]] [[soldiers]]. Since the [[Jewish]] [[authorities]] had no such [[force]] of [[armed]] men under their [[jurisdiction]], they went at once to the [[fortress]] of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antonia_Fortress Antonia] and requested the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centurion Roman commander] to give them this guard; but when he [[learned]] that they [[intended]] to [[arrest]] [[Jesus]], he promptly refused to accede to their request and referred them to his superior officer. In this way more than an hour was consumed in going from one [[authority]] to another until they finally were [[compelled]] to go to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pontius_Pilate Pilate] himself in order to obtain [[permission]] to employ the armed [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_soldiers Roman guards]. It was late when they arrived at [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilate Pilate]'s house, and he had retired to his [[private]] chambers with his [[wife]]. He [[hesitated]] to have anything to do with the [[enterprise]], all the more so since his [[wife]] had asked him not to grant the request. But inasmuch as the [[Chief|presiding officer]] of the [[Jewish]] [[Sanhedrin]] was present and making [[personal]] request for this [[assistance]], the governor thought it [[wise]] to grant the [[petition]], [[thinking]] he could later on right any wrong they might be disposed to [[commit]].
183:2.4 Accordingly, when [[Judas Iscariot]] started out from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_temple the temple], about half after eleven o'clock, he was accompanied by more than sixty [[persons]]—temple guards, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_soldiers Roman soldiers], and [[curious]] [[servants]] of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hohen_Gadol chief priests] and rulers.
