Judas, Peter, and the Mob

At Jesus' arrest, it might be questioned how He could be a king if He is under the power of forces beyond His control. If He can be seized, arrested, and helplessly lead away, how is He a King? However, we see that even at His arrest, Jesus is in charge. Judas thinks Him ignorant; Peter sees Him as needy; the officers see Him as under their power. But the Scriptures show us that, even while bound, Jesus is King of all.
