Matthew Poole and continuators on John 18:4

4 Jesus therefore knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said unto them, Whom seek ye ?

This Evangelists saith nothing of what the other Evangelists mention, of the sign that Iudas had given them, by which they should know him; nor of Iudas his kissing of him, or our Saviours reply to him, (Iohn all along his Gospel, mentioneth very little of what is recorded by the other Evangelists). It must be supposed, that after Iudas had kissed our Saviour, our Saviour himself came forth, and asked him whom they looked for? Hereby shewing, that he laid down his life, and no man took it from him; he could easily have delivered himself out of their hands, (tho I think they are too charitable to Iudas, who think that it was that which made Iudas discover him, not that he designed his death) he had once and again before so escaped them: But now his hour was come, he freely offers himself unto his enemies, and asketh whom they looked for.
