JOHN 18:9 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“That the saying might be fulfilled, which he spake, Of them which thou gavest me have I lost none.”
This was to fulfill the word that he had spoken, 'Of those whom you gave me, I lost not one.' — John connects Jesus' protection of the disciples to his earlier intercession and promise (17:12). The Johannine fulfillment formula (hina plērōthē, that the word might be fulfilled) identifies Jesus' provision as the culmination of his covenantal care. Even at arrest, Jesus' words prove predictive and controlling, confirming his mastery of circumstances.
