I do not think it can be said enough that Jesus was not captured, tricked, or ensnared by Judas’ betrayal. Jesus went to the garden knowing that Judas was going to betray Him to the Jews. He knew that He would go the Cross. This Jesus did willingly to save us. He was a lamb led to the slaughter.
He gives more foreshadowing of this death to come in these verses. He speaks of being lifted up from the earth. This is a clear reference to His death on the cross. There is also a promise attached to this statement. He will draw all people to himself. How true this is even today. All around the world people are drawn to Christ through the power of His death on the cross. Here is the hope of all people, that in Jesus our sins are forgiven on the cross. The very thing that the Jews were plotting to wipe Jesus and His work off the face of the earth is the very thing God used to spread Jesus and His work across the face of the earth.
Consider: Isaiah 53:7
