Question One: Who can make an entire army fall flat on their faces by speaking His Name aloud? Only Someone with a Name above all names.
In John 18:1-11, the key to understanding what happened in Gethsemane is the Greek word speira, which is translated as “detachment, band, cohort” in our Bibles.
Technically, this term refers to 1/10 of a Roman Legion of 6,000 or 600 soldiers.
It could also refer to an auxiliary with 760 foot soldiers, if they were joined with 240 mounted soldiers. Still, at a minimum, it would refer to at least 200 soldiers or guards who were armed with weapons (Matthew & Mark add: “swords and clubs” ) and had oil lamps and torches.
So through the darkness, as Jesus is on His face, sweating blood, crying out as prayed, this crowd of hundreds comes walking and searching in the darkness as if looking for an armed criminal. That is the setting of Gethsemane’s arrest scene here in John 18.
