18 And G1161 the servants G1401 and G2532 officers G5257 stood there, G2476 who had made G4160 a fire of coals; G439 for G3754 it was G2258 cold: G5592 and G2532 they warmed themselves: G2328 and G1161 Peter G4074 stood G2258 G2476 with G3326 them, G846 and G2532 warmed himself. G2328
And G2532 Peter G4074 followed G190 him G846 afar G3113 off, G575 even G2193 into G2080 G1519 the palace G833 of the high priest: G749 and G2532 he sat G2258 G4775 with G3326 the servants, G5257 and G2532 warmed himself G2328 at G4314 the fire. G5457
And he came H935 thither unto a cave, H4631 and lodged H3885 there; and, behold, the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 came to him, and he said H559 unto him, What doest thou here, Elijah? H452
Blessed H835 is the man H376 that walketh H1980 not in the counsel H6098 of the ungodly, H7563 nor standeth H5975 in the way H1870 of sinners, H2400 nor sitteth H3427 in the seat H4186 of the scornful. H3887
I have not sat H3427 with vain H7723 persons, H4962 neither will I go in H935 with dissemblers. H5956 I have hated H8130 the congregation H6951 of evil doers; H7489 and will not sit H3427 with the wicked. H7563 I will wash H7364 mine hands H3709 in innocency: H5356 so will I compass H5437 thine altar, H4196 O LORD: H3068 That I may publish H8085 with the voice H6963 of thanksgiving, H8426 and tell H5608 of all thy wondrous works. H6381 LORD, H3068 I have loved H157 the habitation H4583 of thy house, H1004 and the place H4725 where thine honour H3519 dwelleth. H4908 Gather H622 not my soul H5315 with sinners, H2400 nor my life H2416 with bloody H1818 men: H582 In whose hands H3027 is mischief, H2154 and their right hand H3225 is full H4390 of bribes. H7810
He that walketh H1980 with wise H2450 men shall be wise: H2449 but a companion H7462 of fools H3684 shall be destroyed. H7321
And G1161 when they G846 had kindled G681 a fire G4442 in G1722 the midst G3319 of the hall, G833 and G2532 were set down together, G4776 Peter G4074 sat down G2521 among G3319 G1722 them. G846 But G1161 a certain G5100 maid G3814 beheld G1492 him G846 as he sat G2521 by G4314 the fire, G5457 and G2532 earnestly looked G816 upon him, G846 and said, G2036 This man G3778 was G2258 also G2532 with G4862 him. G846
Be G4105 not G3361 deceived: G4105 evil G2556 communications G3657 corrupt G5351 good G5543 manners. G2239
And G1161 what G5101 concord G4857 hath Christ G5547 with G4314 Belial? G955 or G2228 what G5101 part G3310 hath he that believeth G4103 with G3326 an infidel? G571 And G1161 what G5101 agreement G4783 hath the temple G3485 of God G2316 with G3326 idols? G1497 for G1063 ye G5210 are G2075 the temple G3485 of the living G2198 God; G2316 as G2531 God G2316 hath said, G2036 G3754 I will dwell G1774 in G1722 them, G846 and G2532 walk in G1704 them; and G2532 I will be G2071 their G846 God, G2316 and G2532 they G846 shall be G2071 my G3427 people. G2992 Wherefore G1352 come out G1831 from G1537 among G3319 them, G846 and G2532 be ye separate, G873 saith G3004 the Lord, G2962 and G2532 touch G680 not G3361 the unclean G169 thing; and G2504 I will receive G1523 you, G5209
And G2532 have G4790 no G3361 fellowship G4790 with the unfruitful G175 works G2041 of darkness, G4655 but G1161 rather G3123 G2532 reprove G1651 them. For G1063 it is G2076 a shame G149 even G2532 to speak G3004 of those things G2931 which are done G1096 of G5259 them G846 in secret. G2931

Commentary on John 18 Matthew Henry Commentary
Chapter 18
Hitherto this evangelist has recorded little of the history of Christ, only so far as was requisite to introduce his discourses; but now that the time drew nigh that Jesus must die he is very particular in relating the circumstances of his sufferings, and some which the others had omitted, especially his sayings. So far were his followers from being ashamed of his cross, or endeavouring to conceal it, that this was what, both by word and writing, they were most industrious to proclaim, and gloried in it. This chapter relates,
Jhn 18:1-12
The hour was now come that the captain of our salvation, who was to be made perfect by sufferings, should engage the enemy. We have here his entrance upon the encounter. The day of recompence is in his heart, and the year of his redeemed is come, and his own arm works the salvation, for he has no second. Let us turn aside now, and see this great sight.
Jhn 18:13-27
We have here an account of Christ's arraignment before the high priest, and some circumstances that occurred therein which were omitted by the other evangelists; and Peter's denying him, which the other evangelists had given the story of entire by itself, is interwoven with the other passages. The crime laid to his charge having relation to religion, the judges of the spiritual court took it to fall directly under their cognizance. Both Jews and Gentiles seized him, and so both Jews and Gentiles tried and condemned him, for he died for the sins of both. Let us go over the story in order.
Jhn 18:28-40
We have here an account of Christ's arraignment before Pilate, the Roman governor, in the praetorium (a Latin word made Greek), the praetor's house, or hall of judgment; thither they hurried him, to get him condemned in the Roman court, and executed by the Roman power. Being resolved on his death, they took this course,
