“That the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spake, signifying what death he should die.”
John 18:32 — Greek Interlinear
Church Fathers on John 18:32
The Evangelist returns to the part where he had left off, in order to relate Peter’s denial: Then led they Jesus to Caiaphas to the hall of judgment: to Caiaphas from his colleague and father in law Annas, as has been said. But If to Caiaphas, how to the praetorium, which was the place where the governor Pilate resided;
The praetorium is the place where the praetor sat. Praetors were called prefects and preceptors, because they issue decrees.
He was led to Caiaphas before the cock crowed, but early in the morning to Pilate. Whereby the Evangelist shows, that all that night of examination, ended in proving nothing against Him; and that He was sent to Pilate in consequence. But leaving what passed then to the other Evangelists, he goes to what followed.
