What is included in the phrase ‘all that would happen’ in John 18:4?

Biblical Interpretation

This text is from a transcript of a talk by David Gooding, entitled ‘Four Journeys to Jerusalem’ (2009).

Well, I would think that the 'all things that were coming upon him' (John 18:4, RV) that he knew includes what he said about the cup. He says it in John: 'Shall I not drink the cup that the Father has given me?' (John 18:11). In the other three Gospels you have his agony in the garden. John doesn't mention his prayer in the garden, but the other three Gospels show that he surely faced the agony of being made sin for us. You hear it in his prayer, and nowhere more than in Mark's account of his prayer.
