Matthew 26:47-50 While he was still speaking, Judas came, one of the twelve, and with him a great crowd with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and the elders of the people. Now the betrayer had given them a sign, saying, “The one I will kiss is the man; seize him.” And he came up to Jesus at once and said, “Greetings, Rabbi!” And he kissed him. Jesus said to him, “Friend, do what you came to do.” Then they came up and laid hands on Jesus and seized him.
Throughout the journey into and around Jerusalem, it has become increasingly clear that there are no surprises to Jesus. He knew the details about the donkey; getting a place for the Passover at the last minute was not a problem; He knew that Judas would betray him, and even when the moment was approaching. It cause everyone else by surprise. What a picture to us. Nothing that will happen to us takes Him by surprise, only us. So what should we do? Stay close and listen to Jesus.
