The temple courts were a public area where rabbis often taught, and Jesus used this space to reach a wide audience. His daily presence there underscores His openness and transparency in ministry, contrasting with the secretive actions of His arresters. This setting also fulfills prophecies about the Messiah teaching in the temple (<a href="/malachi/3.htm">Malachi 3:1</a>). The temple, as the heart of Jewish religious life, symbolizes the place where God meets His people, and Jesus' teaching there signifies His role as the ultimate revelation of God.and you did not lay a hand on Me. Despite the religious leaders' growing hostility, they refrained from arresting Jesus in the temple due to His popularity with the people (<a href="/luke/19-47.htm">Luke 19:47-48</a>). This restraint was also part of God's sovereign plan, as Jesus' time had not yet come. The phrase indicates the leaders' fear of public backlash and their recognition of Jesus' authority, even if they did not accept it. This restraint aligns with the divine timing of events leading to the crucifixion, showing that Jesus' life was not taken from Him but given willingly (<a href="/john/10-18.htm">John 10:18</a>).But this hour belongs to you The "hour" refers to the appointed time for Jesus' arrest and subsequent crucifixion. It signifies a divinely ordained moment when God allows the forces of evil to act, fulfilling the redemptive plan. This phrase acknowledges the temporary authority given to Jesus' enemies, aligning with the concept of God's permissive will. It also reflects the fulfillment of prophecies about the suffering Messiah (Isaiah 53). The use of "hour" is significant in the Gospel of John, where it often denotes pivotal moments in Jesus' mission (<a href="/john/12-23.htm">John 12:23</a>).and to the power of darkness.” This phrase identifies the spiritual forces at work behind the physical events of Jesus' arrest. "Darkness" symbolizes evil, sin, and separation from God, contrasting with Jesus as the "light of the world" (<a href="/john/8-12.htm">John 8:12</a>). The power of darkness refers to Satan's influence and the spiritual battle between good and evil. This moment is a culmination of the conflict between Jesus and the forces of evil, as foretold in <a href="/genesis/3-15.htm">Genesis 3:15</a>, where the serpent's head would be crushed. Despite the apparent victory of darkness, it ultimately leads to Jesus' triumph over sin and death through His resurrection.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/j/jesus_christ.htm">Jesus Christ</a> The central figure in this passage, Jesus is speaking to those who have come to arrest Him.

These words of the Lord may signify, "It was from a cowardly fear of the people whom you felt were my friends that you did not dare to arrest me in the full light of day." But it is better to take the last clause as possessing a deeper meaning: "I have often been in your power before, when, without concealment, I taught publicly in that sacred house where you are the appointed guardians; you never dared to lay hands on me then. But this, I know, is your hour, the moment God has given up to you to effect this sad triumph, and this (i.e. the power by which you work) is the power or' darkness (i.e. the power of the spirit of darkness)." <a href="/commentaries/luke/22-53.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div>Every καθ’ (kath’) Preposition <a href="/greek/strongs_2596.htm">Strong's 2596: </a> A primary particle; down, in varied relations (genitive, dative or accusative) with which it is joined). day ἡμέραν (hēmeran) Noun - Accusative Feminine Singular <a href="/greek/strongs_2250.htm">Strong's 2250: </a> A day, the period from sunrise to sunset.
