Today’s story takes us into a garden at night, where something really important—and really hard—happens.
Jesus had just finished praying with His disciples when Judas showed up… but not to pray. Judas brought a group of soldiers and leaders with torches and weapons. They came looking for Jesus, but guess what? Jesus didn’t run or hide—He stepped forward and said, “I am He.” Even in danger, Jesus cared for His friends. He told the soldiers, “Let my disciples go,” because Jesus is the Good Shepherd who protects His sheep.
But Peter… well, he got scared. First, he tried to fight back with a sword (and even cut off someone’s ear—yikes!). But Jesus said, “Put it away. This is part of God’s plan.” Then, after Jesus was arrested, Peter followed from a distance—but when people asked if he knew Jesus, he found himself scared again.
Meanwhile, Jesus was being questioned, but He stood strong. Even though this night was full of fear and sadness, we see how brave and loving Jesus is. And we also see how people, like Peter, can mess up—but Jesus still loves them and has a plan to make things right.
