Bible Commentary

John 18:7

Jesus gave them a second chance to understand who they were dealing with. He was patient even with those who came to arrest Him. His concern was still for others.

Memory phrase: Jesus asked again, patiently.

Talk about it: Why do you think Jesus asked the same question twice?

Prayer: Lord Jesus, You are patient even with Your enemies. Help me show patience like Yours.
