📚 Historical Context
In the Gospel of John, this verse takes place during Jesus' arrest in the Garden of Gethsemane, following Judas' betrayal, as Roman soldiers and Jewish officials come to seize Him. Jesus had earlier prayed in John 17:12 that He had kept and not lost any of those given to Him by the Father, except the one destined for destruction. This moment fulfills that promise, as Jesus ensures the disciples' safety during the chaos of the arrest.
