John 18: Who are you looking for?

Read John 18:1-40 before you meet.

In a few lines

When they came for him, Jesus went out to them and asked, "Who are you looking for?" (18:4). Before Pilate he said why he came: "For this reason I have been born, and for this reason I have come into the world, that I should testify to the truth" (18:37).

The verse to carry

“Pilate therefore said to him, “Are you a king then?” Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. For this reason I have been born, and for this reason I have come into the world, that I should testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to my voice.””

John 18:37

To talk about

  1. 1. When they came for him, Jesus said, "If therefore you seek me, let these go their way" (18:8). What stands out to you in what he asked for, at that moment?

  2. 2. Asked, "Are you also one of this man’s disciples?", Peter said, "I am not" (18:17). When do you find it hardest to say that you follow Jesus?

  3. 3. Jesus said, "For this reason I have been born, and for this reason I have come into the world, that I should testify to the truth" (18:37). What does that tell you about why he came?
