Gospel of John Chapter 18: 3-5
So Judas, procuring a band of soldiers and some officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, went there with lanterns and torches and weapons. And Jesus came forward and said, “Whom do you seek?”
Reflection:
Jesus often asked the question “whom do you seek.” He asked it of Nicodemus. He asked it of Nathaniel. He also asks it of us.
Why do we look for Jesus? Because in him we see the face of God. He holds a lantern to guide us in our search – we recognise him and he recognises us.
Jesus said “I am the Light of the world.”
