The place and timing of the arrest of Christ was ordained before the foundation of the world as this was part of the eternal plan of redemption. With the sound of His voice all those who came to arrest Him could have been struck dead as the breath that He gives could have been taken away by His sovereign hand. All the soldiers and officers who came to seize Him did not overpower Him and arrest Him against His will. The men who thought they were strong in might and number as they came to arrest Him were knocked to the ground by the power of the proclamation from Jesus that He was Yahweh. Just as He willingly will lay down His life for the sheep, He willingly allows them to bind Him and lead Him away as this would lead to cross. It was for this hour that He came to drink the cup that the Father had given Him. As He was arrested and led away, He was the Lamb who was being led to the slaughter.
