to the morning of Good Friday?
Jesus our Lord was at the Gate of Death.
Jesus the Christ of His Father, His Only Son, knew God's Plan. He was resting, more than probably, in the hole under Caiaphas' house used as a jail, a hole in the earth, (like Jeremiah in the hold or jail or dungeon of the Palace of David as Nebuchadnezzar II was about to invade Judah.)

11 So Jesus said to Peter,
“Put your sword into its sheath; shall I not drink the cup that the Father has given Me?”

Caiaphas, who was high priest that year. 14 It was Caiaphas who had advised the Jews that it would be expedient that one man should die for the people.
