Dobry Pasterz, pojmany w Ogrójcu, daje życie swoim uczniom (J 10,1 – 18; 18,1 – 14)
The Good Shepherd, Arrested in the Garden, Gives a New Life to His Disciples (Jn 10:1 – 18; 18:1 – 14)

Summary/Abstract: The pericope Jn 18:1 – 14, speaking of „The arrest of Jesus in the garden” – even though its location in the Fourth Gospel is rather far from Jn 10:1 – 18 and there are no terms like „shepherd”, „sheep”, „pasture”, „gate” ecc. in it – constitutes a rereading of „The parable of the Good Shepherd”. The article presents seven elements (motives, ideas, words) common to both texts which are strong links connecting them and showing that what is foretold byJesus in Jn 10:1 – 18, in the beginning of His Passion (Jn 18:1 – 14) is perfectly fulfilled. This is why it is legitimate to say that „The Good Shepherd, arrested in the garden, gives a new life to His disciples”.
