Lantern. Lantern, (so called of its shining), occurs only in Joh_18:3. (It there probably denotes any kind of covered light, in distinction from a simple taper or common house-light, as well as from a flambeau. Lanterns were much employed by the Romans in military operations. Two, of bronze, have been found among the ruins of Herculaneum and Pompeii. They are cylindrical, with translucent horn sides, the lamp within being furnished with an extinguisher. ? Editor).
Smith's Bible Dictionary

The word occurs, Joh_18:3 : μετα φανων και λαμπαδων: with torches and lanterns: but both terms appear to signify torches; the former of a ruder kind than the latter, being formed of split laths bound into bundles, throwing around a strong glare of light. They came thus furnished to apprehend our Lord, lest he should escape through the darkness of the night.

lan?tērn (φανός, phanós, φαίνω, phaı́nō, ?to give light?): Lanterns were carried by the mob which arrested Jesus in Gethsemane (Joh_18:3, probably better ?torches?). The word ?lantern? in the time of early versions had a much wider significance than now. The Romans, however, had lanterns in the times of Christ, made by use of translucent skins, bladders, or thin plates of horn.

This word occurs only in Joh_18:3, where the party of men which went out of Jerusalem to apprehend Jesus in the garden of Gethsemane is described as being provided 'with lanterns and torches.' In the article Lamp it has been shown that the Jewish lantern, or, if we may so call it, lamp-frame, was similar to that now in use among the Orientals.
As the streets of Eastern towns are not lighted at night, and never were so, lanterns are used to an extent not known among us. Such, doubtless, was also formerly the case; and it is therefore remarkable that the only trace of a lantern which the Egyptian monuments offer, is that contained in the present engraving. In this case it seems to be borne by the night-watch, or civic guard, and is shaped like those in common use among ourselves. A similar lantern is at this day used in Persia, and perhaps does not materially differ from those mentioned in Scripture. More common at present in Western Asia is a large folding lantern of waxen cloth strained over rings of wire, with a top and bottom of tinned copper. It is usually about two feet long by nine inches in diameter, and is carried by servants before their masters, who often pay visits to their friends at or after supper-time. In many Eastern towns the municipal law forbids any one to be in the streets after nightfall without a lantern.

Joh_18:3 (c) This figure may be used as a picture of the intellect of man seeking to find out GOD and CHRIST by searching. Man brings his light in an endeavor to find GOD. CHRIST is the Light of Life. All of man's intellectual lightness falls into an eclipse in the light of the Son of GOD. Man cannot find GOD by reasonings or deductions.
