Prophesies of The Passion
Matthew: 16:21-23, Mark: 8:31-33,
Luke 9:22 From that time on Jesus began to show his disciples that he
must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things at the hands of and be rejected by
the elders, chief priests, and experts in the law, and be killed, and after
three days, on the third day, be raised. 16:22 Mark 8:32 He spoke openly about this. So Peter took him aside and
began to rebuke him: “God forbid, Lord! This must not happen to you!” 16:23, Mark 8:33 But after turning and looking at his disciples he
turned and said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to
me, because you are not setting your mind on God’s interests, but on man’s. The
Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, chief
priests, and experts in the law, and be killed, and on the third day be raised.”
Matthew:
17:11-18 Now on the way to
Jerusalem, Jesus was passing along between Samaria and Galilee. 17:12 As he was entering a village, ten men with leprosy
met him. They stood at a distance, 17:13 raised their voices and said, “Jesus, Master, have
mercy on us.” 17:14 When he saw them he said, “Go and show yourselves to
the priests.” And as they went along, they were cleansed. 17:15 Then one of them, when he saw he was healed, turned
back, praising God with a loud voice. 17:16 He
fell with his face to the ground at Jesus’ feet and thanked him. (Now he was a
Samaritan.) 17:17 Then Jesus said, “Were not ten cleansed? Where are
the other nine? 17:18 Was no one found to turn back and give praise to God
except this foreigner?” 17:19 Then he said to the
man, “Get up and go your way. Your faith has made you well.”
Further Prophecies of the Passion
Matthew: 17:22-3,
Mark 9:30-32, Luke 9:43-5 When they went out from there and
gathered together in Galilee and passed through Galilee, Jesus told them, “The
Son of Man is going to be betrayed into the hands of men. 17:23 They will kill him, and on the third day he will be
raised.”
Mark: 9:30 But Jesus did
not want anyone to know, 9:31 for he was
teaching his disciples and telling them, “The Son of Man will be betrayed into
the hands of men. They will kill him, and after three days he will rise.”
Luke: 9:44 “Take these words to heart, for the Son of Man is
going to be betrayed into the hands of men.” 9:45 But
they did not understand this statement; its meaning had been concealed from
them, so that they could not grasp it. Yet they were afraid to ask him about
this statement.
Departure
for Jerusalem
Matt. 19:1-2, Mk. 10:1, Lk. 9:51 19:1, John 10:41-2 Now
when Jesus finished these sayings, he left that place, Galilee, and went to the
region of Judea beyond, back across, the Jordan River again to the place where
John had been baptizing at an earlier time, and he stayed there. 19:2 Again, large crowds gathered to him, followed him,
and again, as was his custom, he taught them and healed them there. John 10:41 Many came to him and began to say, “John performed no
miraculous sign, but everything John said about this man was true!” 10:42 And many believed in Jesus there.
Luke: 9:51 Now when the days drew near for him to be taken up,
Jesus set out resolutely to go to Jerusalem. 9:52 He
sent messengers on ahead of him. As they went along, they entered a Samaritan
village to make things ready in advance for him, 9:53 but
the villagers refused to welcome him, because he was determined to go to
Jerusalem. 9:54 Now when his disciples James and John saw this, they
said, “Lord, do you want us to call fire to come down from heaven and consume
them?” 9:55 But Jesus turned and rebuked them, 9:56 and
they went on to another village.
Third Prophecies of The Passion
Matthew: 20:17-19,
Mark 10:32-4, Luke 18:31-4 As they were on the way, Jesus going up
to Jerusalem, they were amazed, but those who followed were afraid. He took the
twelve aside privately and began to tell them what was going to happen to him. Luke 18:31 He told them
that everything that is written about the Son of Man by the prophets will be
accomplished. He said to them on the way, 20:18 “Look, we are
going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be handed over to the chief
priests and the experts in the law. They will condemn him to death, 20:19 and will turn
him over to the Gentiles to be mocked, spit upon, flogged severely and
crucified. Yet on the third day, Mk. 10:34 after three days,
he will rise again, he will be raised.” Luke 18:34 But the twelve
understood none of these things. This saying was hidden from them, and they did
not grasp what Jesus meant.
Healing Blind
Bartimaeus at Jericho
Mark: 10:46-52, Luke: 18:35 – 43 As
Jesus and his disciples and a large crowd approached, came to Jericho, Bartimaeus
the son of Timaeus, a blind beggar, was sitting by the road. 18:36 When he heard a crowd going by, he asked what was
going on. 18:37 They told him, “Jesus the Nazarene is passing by.” 18:38 So,
Mark 10:47
When he heard that it was Jesus the Nazarene, he called out and began to shout,
“Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” 10:48
Many, those who were in front, scolded him to get him to be quiet, but he
shouted all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!” 10:49 Jesus stopped and ordered the beggar to be brought to
him. He said, “Call him.” So, they called the blind man and said to him, “Have
courage! Get up! He is calling you.” 10:50 He
threw off his cloak, jumped up, and came to Jesus. 10:51 When
the man came near, Jesus said to him, “What do you want me to do for you?” The
blind man replied, “Rabbi, Lord, let me see again.” 10:52 Jesus said to him, “Go, receive your sight; your
faith has healed you.” Immediately he regained his sight and followed him on
the road, praising God. When all the people saw it, they too gave praise to
God.
Jesus Visits Zaccheus
Luke 19:1 Jesus entered Jericho and was passing through it. 19:2 Now
a man named Zacchaeus was there; he was a chief tax collector and was rich. 19:3 He was
trying to get a look at Jesus, but being a short man he could not see over the
crowd. 19:4 So he ran on ahead and climbed up into a sycamore
tree to see him, because Jesus was going to pass that way. 19:5 And when Jesus came to that place, he looked up and
said to him, “Zacchaeus, come down quickly, because I must stay at your house
today.” 19:6 So he came down quickly and welcomed Jesus joyfully. 19:7 And when the people saw it, they all complained, “He
has gone in to be the guest of a man who is a sinner.” 19:8 But Zacchaeus stopped and said to the Lord, “Look,
Lord, half of my possessions I now give to the poor, and if I have cheated
anyone of anything, I am paying back four times as much!” 19:9 Then Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to
this household, because he too is a son of Abraham! 19:10 For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the
lost.”
Interlude at Bethany
John: 11:1-16 Now a certain man named Lazarus was sick. He was from
Bethany, the village where Mary and her sister Martha lived. 11:2 (Now it was Mary who anointed the Lord with perfumed
oil and wiped his feet dry with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.) 11:3 So the sisters sent a message to Jesus, “Lord, look,
the one you love is sick.” 11:4 When Jesus heard
this, he said, “This sickness will not lead to death, but to God’s glory, so
that the Son of God may be glorified through it.” 11:5 (Now
Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.)
11:6 So when he heard that Lazarus was sick, he remained
in the place where he was for two more days. 11:7 Then
after this, he said to his disciples, “Let us go to Judea again.” 11:8 The disciples replied, “Rabbi, the Jewish leaders
were just now trying to stone you to death! Are you going there again?” 11:9 Jesus replied, “Are there not twelve hours in a day?
If anyone walks around in the daytime, he does not stumble, because he sees the
light of this world. 11:10 But if anyone walks around at night, he stumbles,
because the light is not in him.”
11:11 After he said this, he added, “Our friend Lazarus has
fallen asleep. But I am going there to awaken him.” 11:12 Then the disciples replied, “Lord, if he has fallen
asleep, he will recover.” 11:13 (Now Jesus had been
talking about his death, but they thought he had been talking about real
sleep.)
11:14 Then Jesus told them plainly, “Lazarus has died, 11:15 and I am glad for your sake that I was not there, so
that you may believe. But let us go to him.” 11:16 So
Thomas (called Didymus) said to his fellow disciples, “Let us go too, so that
we may die with him.”
John: 11:17-37 When Jesus arrived, he found that Lazarus had been in
the tomb four days already. 11:18 (Now Bethany was
less than two miles from Jerusalem, 11:19 so
many of the Jewish people of the region had come to Martha and Mary to console
them over the loss of their brother.) 11:20 So
when Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went out to meet him, but Mary was
sitting in the house. 11:21 Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if you had been here, my
brother would not have died. 11:22 But
even now I know that whatever you ask from God, God will grant you.”
11:23 Jesus replied, “Your brother will come back to life
again.” 11:24 Martha said, “I know that he will come back to life
again in the resurrection at the last day.” 11:25
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in
me will live even if he dies, 11:26 and
the one who lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?” 11:27 She replied, “Yes, Lord, I believe that you are the
Christ, the Son of God who comes into the world.”
11:28 And when she had said this, Martha went and called
her sister Mary, saying privately, “The Teacher is here and is asking for you.”
11:29 So when Mary heard this, she got up quickly and went
to him. 11:30 (Now Jesus had not yet entered the village, but was
still in the place where Martha had come out to meet him.) 11:31 Then the people who were with Mary in the house
consoling her saw her get up quickly and go out. They followed her, because
they thought she was going to the tomb to weep there.
11:32 Now when Mary came to the place where Jesus was and
saw him, she fell at his feet and said to him, “Lord, if you had been here, my
brother would not have died.” 11:33
When Jesus saw her weeping, and the people who had come with her weeping, he was
intensely moved in spirit and greatly distressed. 11:34 He
asked, “Where have you laid him?” They replied, “Lord, come and see.” 11:35 Jesus wept. 11:36
Thus the people who had come to mourn said, “Look how much he loved him!” 11:37 But some of them said, “This is the man who caused
the blind man to see! Couldn’t he have done something to keep Lazarus from
dying?”
John: 11:38-44 Jesus, intensely moved again, came to the tomb. (Now
it was a cave, and a stone was placed across it.) 11:39
Jesus said, “Take away the stone.” Martha, the sister of the deceased, replied,
“Lord, by this time the body will have a bad smell, because he has been buried
four days.” 11:40 Jesus responded, “Didn’t I tell you that if you
believe, you would see the glory of God?” 11:41 So
they took away the stone. Jesus looked upward and said, “Father, I thank you
that you have listened to me. 11:42 I
knew that you always listen to me, but I said this for the sake of the crowd
standing around here, that they may believe that you sent me.” 11:43 When he had said this, he shouted in a loud voice,
“Lazarus, come out!” 11:44 The one who had died came out, his feet and hands
tied up with strips of cloth, and a cloth wrapped around his face. Jesus said
to them, “Unwrap him and let him go.”
John: 11:45-57 Then many of the people, who had come with Mary and
had seen the things Jesus did, believed in him. 11:46 But
some of them went to the Pharisees and reported to them what Jesus had done. 11:47 So the chief priests and the Pharisees called the
council together and said, “What are we doing? For this man is performing many
miraculous signs. 11:48 If we allow him to go on in this way, everyone will
believe in him, and the Romans will come and take away our sanctuary and our
nation.”
11:49 Then one of them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that
year, said, “You know nothing at all! 11:50 You
do not realize that it is more to your advantage to have one man die for the
people than for the whole nation to perish.” 11:51
(Now he did not say this on his own, but because he was high priest that year,
he prophesied that Jesus was going to die for the Jewish nation, 11:52 and not for the Jewish nation only, but to gather
together into one the children of God who are scattered.) 11:53 So from that day they planned together to kill him.
Jesus Withdraws to Ephraim
John 11:54-7 Thus Jesus no longer went around publicly among the
Judeans, but went away from there to the region near the wilderness, to a town
called Ephraim, and stayed there with his disciples. 11:55 Now the Jewish feast of Passover was near, and many
people went up to Jerusalem from the rural areas before the Passover to cleanse
themselves ritually. 11:56 Thus they were looking for Jesus, and saying to one
another as they stood in the temple courts, “What do you think? That he won’t
come to the feast?” 11:57 (Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given
orders that anyone who knew where Jesus was should report it, so that they
could arrest him.)
Matthew: 21:1-11,
17, Mark 11:1-11, Luke 19:28-40, John 12:12-19: John: 12:12 The next day the large crowd that had come to the
feast heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem. 12:13 So
they took branches of palm trees and went out to meet him. They began to shout,
“Hosanna! Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord! Blessed is the
king of Israel!” Now when they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage and
Bethany, at the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two of his disciples, 21:2
telling them, “Go to the village ahead of you. Right away, as soon as you enter
it, you will find a donkey tied there, and a colt with her that has never been
ridden. Untie them and bring them to me. 21:3 If
anyone says anything to you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ you are just to say, ‘The Lord needs them,’
and he will send them at once; he will send them back here soon.’” 21:4 This took place to fulfill what was spoken by the
prophet, just as it is written,
12:15 “Do not be afraid, people of Zion:
21:5 “Tell the people
of Zion, ‘Look, your king is coming to you, unassuming and seated on a donkey,
and on a colt, the foal of a donkey.’”
19:32 So those who were sent ahead found it exactly as he
had told them. 21:6 So the disciples went and did as Jesus had instructed
them. 11:6 They replied as Jesus had told them, and the
bystanders, the owners, let them go. 21:7 They
brought the donkey and the colt and placed their cloaks on them, and they had
Jesus sit on them. 21:8 As they rode along, many, a very large crowd spread
their cloaks on the road. Others cut branches from the trees they had cut in
the fields and spread them on the road. 21:9 19:37 As he approached the road leading down from the Mount
of Olives, the whole crowd of his disciples began to rejoice and praise God
with a loud voice for all the mighty works they had seen. Both the crowds that went ahead of him and those following kept
shouting, “Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is the one, the king, who comes
in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!” 11:10 Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David! Hosanna
in the highest!” 21:10 As he entered Jerusalem the whole city was thrown into
an uproar, saying, “Who is this?” 21:11 And
the crowds were saying, “This is the prophet Jesus, from Nazareth in Galilee.” 19:39 But some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to him,
“Teacher, rebuke your disciples.” 19:40 He answered, “I tell you, if they keep silent, the
very stones will cry out!”
Mk. 11:11,
Jn. 12:19 Then Jesus
entered Jerusalem and went to the temple. And after looking around at
everything, he left them, went out to the city of Bethany with the twelve,
since it was already late, and spent the night there. John 12:16 (His disciples did not understand these things when
they first happened, but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that
these things were written about him and that these things had happened to him.)
Matthew:
21:1216, Mark: 11:15-17, Luke: 19:45-46, John: 2:13-17 Now the Jewish feast of Passover was near, so Jesus
went up to Jerusalem. Then they came to Jerusalem and Jesus entered the temple
area. 2:14 He found in the temple courts those who were selling
oxen and sheep and doves, with the sheep and the oxen. He scattered the coins
of the money changers sitting at tables. 2:15 He
made a whip of cords and drove out all those who were selling and buying in the
temple courts, and turned over the tables of the money changers and the chairs
of those selling doves 11:16 and he would not permit anyone to carry merchandise
through the temple courts and drove them all out of the temple courts. 11:17 Then he began to teach them 21:13 and he said to them, “It is written, ‘My house will
be called a house of prayer for all nations,’’ but you are turning it into a
den of robbers!”
2:16 To those who sold the doves
he said, “Take these things away from here! Do not make my Father’s house a
marketplace!” 2:17 His disciples remembered that it was written, “Zeal
for your house will devour me.”
John 2:18 So then the Jewish leaders responded, “What sign can
you show us, since you are doing these things?” 2:19
Jesus replied, “Destroy this temple and in three days I will raise it up
again.” 2:20 Then the Jewish leaders said to him, “This temple has
been under construction for forty-six years, and are you going to raise it up
in three days?” 2:21 But Jesus was speaking about the temple of his body. 2:22 So after he was raised from the dead, his disciples
remembered that he had said this, and they believed the scripture and the
saying that Jesus had spoken.
In the Temple - By What Authority?
Matthew:
21:23-7 Mark 11:27-33, Luke 20:1-8 They came again to Jerusalem. Now after Jesus entered the temple
courts, as Jesus was teaching the people in the temple courts and proclaiming
the gospel, the chief priests, the experts in the law, and elders of the people
came up to him as he was teaching and said, “By what authority are you doing
these things? Or who gave you this authority?” 21:24
Jesus answered them, “I will also ask you one question. If you answer me then I
will also tell you by what authority I do these things. 21:25 Where did John’s baptism come from? From heaven or
from people? Answer me.” They
discussed this among themselves, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will
say, ‘Then why did you not believe him?’ 21:26 But
if we say, ‘From people, all the people will stone us,’ we fear the crowd, for
they all are convinced that John was a prophet.” 21:27 So
they answered Jesus, “We don’t know.” Then he said to them, “Neither will I
tell you by what authority I am doing these things.
Matthew: 21:14 The
blind and lame came to him in the temple courts, and he healed them. Luke: 19:47 Jesus was teaching daily in the temple courts, Luke: 21:37 but
at night he went and stayed on the Mount of Olives. 21:38 And all the people came to him early in the morning
to listen to him in the temple courts.
Mt. 21:15 But when the
chief priests and the experts in the law saw the wonderful things he did and
heard the children crying out in the temple courts, “Hosanna to the Son of
David,” they became indignant 21:16 and said to him,
“Do you hear what they are saying?” Jesus said to them, “Yes. Have you never
read, ‘Out of the mouths of children and nursing infants you have prepared
praise for yourself’?”
Matthew: 23:37-9, Luke 13:34-5 “O Jerusalem,
Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those who are sent to you! How
often I have longed to gather your children together as a hen gathers her chicks
under her wings, but you would have none of it! 23:38 Look, your house is
forsaken, left to you desolate! 23:39
For I tell you, you will not see me from now until you say, ‘Blessed is the one
who comes in the name of the Lord!’”
Luke: 19:41 Now when Jesus approached and saw the city, he wept
over it, 19:42 saying, “If you had only known on this day, even you,
the things that make for peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes. 19:43 For the days will come upon you when your enemies
will build an embankment against you and surround you and close in on you from
every side. 19:44 They will demolish you – you and your children within
your walls – and they will not leave within you one stone on top of another,
because you did not recognize the time of your visitation from God.”
Predicting
the Destruction of the Temple
Matthew:
24:2, Mark 13:1-2, Luke 21:5-6 Mark:
13:1 Now as Jesus was going out of the temple courts, while
some were speaking about the temple, how it was adorned with beautiful stones
and offerings, one of his disciples said to him, “Teacher, look at these
tremendous stones and buildings!” Matthew
24:2 And he said to them, “Do you see all these things, these great
buildings? I tell you the truth, not one stone will be left on another. All will
be torn down!”
MK. 13:2 Jesus said to him, “As for these things that
you are gazing at, do you see? Luke 21:6
“The days will come when not one stone will be left on another. All will be
torn down!”
Greeks at the Temple
John: 12:20 Now some Greeks were among those who had gone up to
worship at the feast. 12:21 So these approached Philip, who was from Bethsaida in
Galilee, and requested, “Sir, we would like to see Jesus.” 12:22 Philip went and told Andrew, and they both went and
told Jesus. 12:23 Jesus replied, “The time has come for the Son of Man
to be glorified. 12:24 I tell you the solemn truth, unless a kernel of wheat
falls into the ground and dies, it remains by itself alone. But if it dies, it
produces much grain. 12:25 The one who loves his life destroys it, and the one
who hates his life in this world guards it for eternal life. 12:26 If anyone wants to serve me, he must follow me, and
where I am, my servant will be too. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor
him.
Matthew: 26:1 When Jesus had finished saying all these
things, he told his disciples, 26:2 “You know that after two days the Passover is
coming, and the Son of Man will be handed over to be crucified.”
Jesus’ Anointing
Matthew: 26:6-13, Mk. 14;6-9, John 12:1-8 John: 12:1
Then, six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus lived,
whom he had raised from the dead. 12:2 So, 26:6 Now while Jesus was in Bethany at the house of Simon
the leper, they prepared a dinner for Jesus there. Martha was serving, and
Lazarus was among those present at the table with him. 12:3 Then Mary took three
quarters of a pound of an alabaster jar of expensive aromatic oil from pure
nard and anointed the feet of Jesus. She then wiped his feet dry with her hair.
(Now the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfumed oil.) 26:8 When
the disciples saw this, they became indignant and said, “Why this waste? 12:4 But
Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples (the one who was going to betray him)
said, 12:5
“Why wasn’t this oil sold for three hundred silver coins and the money given to
the poor?” 12:6
(Now Judas said this not because he was concerned about the poor, but because
he was a thief. As keeper of the money box, he used to steal what was put into
it.) When Jesus learned of this, he said to them, “Leave her alone. Why are you
bothering this woman? She has done a good service for me. 26:11 For you will always have
the poor with you, and you can do good for them whenever you want, but you will
not always have me! 26:12
She did what she could. When she poured this oil on my body, she anointed my
body beforehand to prepare me for burial. 26:13 I tell you the truth,
wherever this gospel is proclaimed in the whole world, what she has done will
also be told in memory of her.”
The plot
to kill Jesus
Matthew
26:3-5, 14-16, Mark 14:1-2, 10-11, Luke 22:1-6 Now the festival of Unleavened
Bread, which is called the Passover, was near. The chief priests, the elders
and the scribes were gathered in the palace of the high priest, who was called
Caiaphas, looking for a way to put Jesus to death, for they were afraid of the
people. They conspired to arrest Jesus by stealth and kill him. But they said,
"not doing the festival, or they may be arrived among the people."
Then Satan entered into Judas called Iscariot,
who was one of the 12; he went away and conferred with the chief priests and
officers of the Temple police about how he might betray him to them. He said,
"what will you give me if I betray him to you?" They were greatly
pleased and agreed to give him money, 30 pieces of silver. So, he consented and
began to look for an opportunity to betray him to them when no crowd was
present.
Preparing for the Passover
Matthew:
26:17-19, Mk. 14:12-16, Luke 22:7-13
Now on the first day of the feast of Unleavened Bread, when the Passover lamb
is sacrificed, the disciples came to Jesus and said, “Where do you want us to
prepare for you to eat the Passover?” 26:18 He sent
two of his disciples, Peter and John, and said, “Go and prepare the Passover
for us to eat.” 22:9 They said to him, “Where do you want us to prepare it?”
He said, “Go into the city to a certain man carrying a jar of water will meet
you. Follow him and 14:14 Wherever he enters, tell the owner of the house, ‘The
Teacher says, “My time is near. Where is my guest room where I may observe the
Passover with my disciples at your house? 14:15 He
will show you a large room upstairs, furnished and ready. Make preparations for
us there.” 26:19 So the disciples left, went into the city, and found
things just as he had told them, did as Jesus had instructed them, and prepared
the Passover.
The Last
Supper
Footwashing
Matthew 26:20-25,
Mark 14:17-20, Luke 21-23, John 13:1-28 When it was evening, he came to the house and took his place at the
table with the twelve. Just before
the Passover feast, Jesus knew that his time had come to depart from this world
to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he now loved them to
the very end. 13:2 The evening meal was in progress, and the devil had
already put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, that he should
betray Jesus. 13:3 Because Jesus knew that the Father had handed all
things over to him, and that he had come from God and was going back to God, 13:4 he got up from the meal, removed his outer clothes,
took a towel and tied it around himself. 13:5 He
poured water into the washbasin and began to wash the disciples’ feet and to
dry them with the towel he had wrapped around himself.
Jn. 13:6 Then he came to Simon Peter. Peter said to him,
“Lord, are you going to wash my feet?” 13:7
Jesus replied, “You do not understand what I am doing now, but you will
understand after these things.” 13:8
Peter said to him, “You will never wash my feet!” Jesus replied, “If I do not
wash you, you have no share with me.” 13:9
Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, wash not only my feet, but also my hands and my
head!” 13:10 Jesus replied, “The one who has bathed needs only to
wash his feet, but is completely clean. And you disciples are clean, but not
every one of you.” 13:11 (For Jesus knew the one who was going to betray him.
For this reason, he said, “Not every one of you is clean.”)
13:12 So when Jesus had washed their feet and put his outer
clothing back on, he took his place at the table again and said to them, “Do
you understand what I have done for you? 13:13 You
call me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord,’ and do so correctly, for that is what I am. 13:14 If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your
feet, you too ought to wash one another’s feet. 13:15 For
I have given you an example – you should do just as I have done for you. 13:16 I tell you the solemn truth, the slave is not greater
than his master, nor is the one who is sent as a messenger greater than the one
who sent him. 13:17 If you understand these things, you will be blessed
if you do them.”
The Betrayal Exposed
26:21 And while they were at the table eating he said, “I
tell you the truth, one of you will betray me. What I am saying does not refer
to all of you. I know the ones I have chosen. But this is to fulfill the scripture,
‘The one who eats my bread has turned against me. 13:19 I
am telling you this now, before it happens, so that when it happens you may
believe that I am he. 13:20 I tell you the solemn truth, whoever accepts the one I
send accepts me, and whoever accepts me accepts the one who sent me.” When he
had said these things, Jesus was greatly distressed in spirit, and testified,
“I tell you the solemn truth, one of you will betray me.” 26:22 The disciples became greatly distressed and began to
look at one another, worried and perplexed to know which of them he was talking
about. Each one began question one another as to which of them it could
possibly be who would do this and to say to him, “Surely not I, Lord?” One of his disciples, the one Jesus
loved, was at the table to the right of Jesus in a place of honor. 13:24 So Simon Peter gestured to this disciple to ask Jesus
who it was he was referring to. 13:25
Then the disciple whom Jesus loved leaned back against Jesus’ chest and asked
him, “Lord, who is it?” 26:23 He answered, “Look,
the hand of the one who betrays me is with me on the table. It is one of the twelve, the one who has dipped his hand into the
bowl with me will betray me. It is the one to whom I will give this piece of
bread after I have dipped it in the dish.” Then he dipped the piece of bread in
the dish and gave it to Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son. 26:25 Then Judas, the one who would betray him, said,
“Surely not I, Rabbi?” Jesus replied, “You have said it yourself.” And after
Judas took the piece of bread, Satan entered into him. Jesus said to him, “What
you are about to do, do quickly.” 13:28
(Now none of those present at the table understood why Jesus said this to
Judas. 26:24 Jesus said further, “The Son of Man will go as it is
written about him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It
would be better for him if he had never been born.”
The Lord’s Supper
Matthew: 26:26-29, Mark 14:22-25, Luke
22:14-20 Now when the hour came,
Jesus took his place at the table and the apostles joined him. 22:15 And he said to them, “I have earnestly desired to eat
this Passover with you before I suffer. 22:16 For
I tell you, I will not eat it again until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of
God.” While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and after giving thanks he
broke it, gave it to his disciples, and said, “Take, eat, this is my body which
is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” 26:27 And
after taking the cup and giving thanks, he gave it to them, saying, “Drink from
it, all of you, Take this and divide it among yourselves. 26:28 For this is my blood, new covenant in my blood, that
is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. 26:29 I tell you, from now on I will not drink of this
fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s
kingdom, till the kingdom of God comes.”
Who is the Greatest?
Luke: 22:24 A
dispute also started among them over which of them was to be regarded as the
greatest. 22:25 So Jesus said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles
lord it over them, and those in authority over them are called ‘benefactors.’ 22:26 Not so with you; instead the one who is greatest
among you must become like the youngest, and the leader like the one who
serves. 22:27 For who is greater, the one who is seated at the
table, or the one who serves? Is it not the one who is seated at the table? But
I am among you as one who serves.
22:28 “You are the ones who have remained with me in my
trials. 22:29 Thus I grant to you a kingdom, just as my Father
granted to me, 22:30 that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom,
and you will sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
The Prediction of Peter’s Denial
Matthew: 26:31-35,
Mk. 14:27-31, Luke 22:31-34 Then
Jesus said to them, “This night you will all fall away because of me, for it is
written:
‘I
will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’
26:32 But after I am raised, I will go ahead of you
into Galilee.” 26:33
Peter said to him, “If they all fall away because of you, I will never fall
away!” Luke: 22:31 Jesus said, “Simon, Simon, pay attention! Satan
has demanded to have you all, to sift you like wheat, 22:32
but I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith may not fail. When you have
turned back, strengthen your brothers.” 22:33
But Peter said to him, “Lord, I am ready to go with you both to prison and to
death!” 26:35
He insisted emphatically, saying to him, “Even if I must die with you, I will
never deny you.” And all the disciples said the same thing. 26:34 Jesus said to Peter, “I tell you the
truth, on this night, before the rooster crows twice today, you will deny me
three times that you know me.”
Discourses at the Last Supper
John: 13:31 When Judas had gone out, Jesus said, “Now the Son of
Man is glorified, and God is glorified in him. 13:32 If
God is glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself, and he will
glorify him right away. 13:33 Children, I am still
with you for a little while. You will look for me, and just as I said to the
Jewish religious leaders, ‘Where I am going you cannot come,’ now I tell you
the same.
13:34 “I give you a new commandment – to love one another.
Just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. 13:35 Everyone will know by this that you are my disciples
– if you have love for one another.”
13:36 Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, where are you going?”
Jesus replied, “Where I am going, you cannot follow me now, but you will follow
later.” 13:37 Peter said to him, “Lord, why can’t I follow you now?
I will lay down my life for you!” 13:38
Jesus answered, “Will you lay down your life for me? I tell you the solemn
truth, the rooster will not crow until you have denied me three times!
John: 14:1 “Do not let your hearts be distressed. You believe in
God; believe also in me. 14:2 There are many
dwelling places in my Father’s house. Otherwise, I would have told you, because
I am going away to make ready a place for you. 14:3 And
if I go and make ready a place for you, I will come again and take you to be
with me, so that where I am you may be too. 14:4 And
you know the way where I am going.”
14:5 Thomas said, “Lord, we don’t know where you are
going. How can we know the way?” 14:6
Jesus replied, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the
Father except through me. 14:7 If you have known me,
you will know my Father too. And from now on you do know him and have seen
him.”
14:8 Philip said, “Lord, show us the Father, and we will
be content.” 14:9 Jesus replied, “Have I been with you for so long, and
you have not known me, Philip? The person who has seen me has seen the Father!
How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 14:10 Do
you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father is in me? The words
that I say to you, I do not speak on my own initiative, but the Father residing
in me performs his miraculous deeds. 14:11
Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father is in me, but if you do not
believe me, believe because of the miraculous deeds themselves. 14:12 I tell you the solemn truth, the person who believes
in me will perform the miraculous deeds that I am doing, and will perform
greater deeds than these, because I am going to the Father. 14:13 And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the
Father may be glorified in the Son. 14:14 If
you ask me anything in my name, I will do it.
John: 14:15 “If you love me, you will obey my commandments. 14:16 Then I will ask the Father, and he will give you
another Advocate to be with you forever – 14:17 the
Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot accept, because it does not see him or
know him. But you know him, because he resides with you and will be in you.
14:18 “I will not abandon you as orphans, I will come to
you. 14:19 In a little while the world will not see me any
longer, but you will see me; because I live, you will live too. 14:20 You will know at that time that I am in my Father and
you are in me and I am in you. 14:21 The
person who has my commandments and obeys them is the one who loves me. The one
who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and will reveal
myself to him.”
14:22 “Lord,” Judas (not Judas Iscariot) said, “what has
happened that you are going to reveal yourself to us and not to the world?” 14:23 Jesus replied, “If anyone loves me, he will obey my
word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and take up
residence with him. 14:24 The person who does not love me does not obey my
words. And the word you hear is not mine, but the Father’s who sent me.
14:25 “I have spoken these things while staying with you. 14:26 But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father
will send in my name, will teach you everything, and will cause you to remember
everything I said to you.
14:27 “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you; I do
not give it to you as the world does. Do not let your hearts be distressed or
lacking in courage. 14:28 You heard me say to you, ‘I am going away and I am
coming back to you.’ If you loved me, you would be glad that I am going to the
Father, because the Father is greater than I am. 14:29 I
have told you now before it happens, so that when it happens you may believe. 14:30 I will not speak with you much longer, for the ruler
of this world is coming. He has no power over me, 14:31 but
I am doing just what the Father commanded me, so that the world may know that I
love the Father. Get up, let us go from here.”
John: 15:1 “I am the true vine and my Father is the gardener. 15:2 He takes away every branch that does not bear fruit
in me. He prunes every branch that bears fruit so that it will bear more fruit.
15:3 You are clean already because of the word that I have
spoken to you. 15:4 Remain in me, and I will remain in you. Just as the
branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it remains in the vine, so neither
can you unless you remain in me.
15:5 “I am the vine; you are the branches. The one who
remains in me – and I in him – bears much fruit, because apart from me you can
accomplish nothing. 15:6 If anyone does not remain in me, he is thrown out
like a branch, and dries up; and such branches are gathered up and thrown into
the fire, and are burned up. 15:7 If you
remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you want, and it will be
done for you. 15:8 My Father is honored by this, that you bear much
fruit and show that you are my disciples.
15:9 “Just as the Father has loved me, I have also loved
you; remain in my love. 15:10 If you obey my
commandments, you will remain in my love, just as I have obeyed my Father’s
commandments and remain in his love. 15:11 I
have told you these things so that my joy may be in you, and your joy may be
complete. 15:12 My commandment is this – to love one another just as
I have loved you. 15:13 No one has greater love than this – that one lays
down his life for his friends. 15:14 You
are my friends if you do what I command you. 15:15 I
no longer call you slaves, because the slave does not understand what his
master is doing. But I have called you friends, because I have revealed to you
everything I heard from my Father. 15:16 You
did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit,
fruit that remains, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name he will give
you. 15:17 This I command you – to love one another.
John: 15:18 “If the world hates you, be aware that it hated me
first. 15:19 If you belonged to the world, the world would love
you as its own. However, because you do not belong to the world, but I chose
you out of the world, for this reason the world hates you. 15:20 Remember what I told you, ‘A slave is not greater than
his master.’ If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they
obeyed my word, they will obey yours too. 15:21 But
they will do all these things to you on account of my name, because they do not
know the one who sent me. 15:22 If I had not come
and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin. But they no longer have
any excuse for their sin. 15:23 The one who hates me
hates my Father too. 15:24 If I had not performed among them the miraculous
deeds that no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin. But now they have
seen the deeds and have hated both me and my Father. 15:25 Now this happened to fulfill the word that is written
in their law, ‘They hated me without reason.’
The Coming of the Advocate
15:26
When the Advocate comes, whom I will send you from the Father – the Spirit of
truth who goes out from the Father – he will testify about me, 15:27 and you also will testify, because you have been with
me from the beginning.
16:1 “I have told you all these things so that you will
not fall away. 16:2 They will put you out of the synagogue, yet a time is
coming when the one who kills you will think he is offering service to God. 16:3 They will do these things because they have not known
the Father or me. 16:4 But I have told you these things so that when their
time comes, you will remember that I told you about them. “I did not tell you these things from the
beginning because I was with you. 16:5 But
now I am going to the one who sent me, and not one of you is asking me, ‘Where
are you going?’ 16:6 Instead your hearts are filled with sadness because I
have said these things to you. 16:7 But
I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I am going away. For if I do
not go away, the Advocate will not come to you, but if I go, I will send him to
you. 16:8 And when he comes, he will prove the world wrong
concerning sin and righteousness and judgment – 16:9
concerning sin, because they do not believe in me; 16:10
concerning righteousness, because I am going to the Father and you will see me
no longer; 16:11 and concerning judgment, because the ruler of this
world has been condemned.
16:12 “I have many more things to say to you, but you
cannot bear them now. 16:13 But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will
guide you into all truth. For he will not speak on his own authority, but will
speak whatever he hears, and will tell you what is to come. 16:14 He will glorify me, because he will receive from me
what is mine and will tell it to you. 16:15
Everything that the Father has is mine; that is why I said the Spirit will
receive from me what is mine and will tell it to you. 16:16 In a little while you will see me no longer; again,
after a little while, you will see me.”
Where are you Going?
16:17 Then some of his disciples said to one another, “What
is the meaning of what he is saying, ‘In a little while you will not see me;
again, after a little while, you will see me,’ and, ‘because I am going to the
Father’?” 16:18 So they kept on repeating, “What is the meaning of
what he says, ‘In a little while’? We do not understand what he is talking
about.”
16:19 Jesus could see that they wanted to ask him about
these things, so he said to them, “Are you asking each other about this – that
I said, ‘In a little while you will not see me; again, after a little while,
you will see me’? 16:20 I tell you the solemn truth, you will weep and wail,
but the world will rejoice; you will be sad, but your sadness will turn into
joy. 16:21 When a woman gives birth, she has distress because
her time has come, but when her child is born, she no longer remembers the
suffering because of her joy that a human being has been born into the world. 16:22 So also you have sorrow now, but I will see you again, and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will
take your joy away from you. 16:23 At
that time you will ask me nothing. I tell you the solemn truth, whatever you
ask the Father in my name he will give you. 16:24 Until
now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive it, so
that your joy may be complete.
16:25 “I have told you these things in obscure figures of
speech; a time is coming when I will no longer speak to you in obscure figures,
but will tell you plainly about the Father. 16:26 At
that time you will ask in my name, and I do not say that I will ask the Father
on your behalf. 16:27 For the Father himself loves you, because you have
loved me and have believed that I came from God. 16:28 I
came from the Father and entered into the world, but in turn, I am leaving the
world and going back to the Father.”
16:29 His disciples said, “Look, now you are speaking
plainly and not in obscure figures of speech! 16:30 Now
we know that you know everything and do not need anyone to ask you anything.
Because of this we believe that you have come from God.”
16:31 Jesus replied, “Do you now believe? 16:32 Look, a time is coming – and has come – when you will
be scattered, each one to his own home, and I will be left alone. Yet I am not
alone, because my Father is with me. 16:33 I
have told you these things so that in me you may have peace. In the world, you
have trouble and suffering, but take courage – I have conquered the world.”
17:1 When Jesus had finished saying these things, he
looked upward to heaven and said, “Father, the time has come. Glorify your Son,
so that your Son may glorify you – 17:2 just
as you have given him authority over all humanity, so that he may give eternal
life to everyone you have given him. 17:3 Now
this is eternal life – that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ,
whom you sent. 17:4 I glorified you on earth by completing the work you
gave me to do. 17:5 And now, Father, glorify me at your side with the
glory I had with you before the world was created.
17:6 “I have revealed your name to the men you gave me out
of the world. They belonged to you, and you gave them to me, and they have
obeyed your word. 17:7 Now they understand that everything you have given me
comes from you, 17:8 because I have given them the words you have given
me. They accepted them and really understand that I came from you, and they
believed that you sent me. 17:9 I am praying on
behalf of them. I am not praying on behalf of the world, but on behalf of those
you have given me, because they belong to you. 17:10
Everything I have belongs to you, and everything you have belongs to me, and I
have been glorified by them. 17:11 I
am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you.
Holy Father, keep them safe in your name that you have given me, so that they
may be one just as we are one. 17:12
When I was with them I kept them safe and watched over them in your name that
you have given me. Not one of them was lost except the one destined for
destruction, so that the scripture could be fulfilled. 17:13 But now I am coming to you, and I am saying these
things in the world, so they may experience my joy completed in themselves. 17:14 I have given them your word, and the world has hated
them, because they do not belong to the world, just as I do not belong to the
world. 17:15 I am not asking you to take them out of the world,
but that you keep them safe from the evil one. 17:16
They do not belong to the world just as I do not belong to the world. 17:17 Set them apart in the truth; your word is truth. 17:18 Just as you sent me into the world, so I sent them
into the world. 17:19 And I set myself apart on their behalf, so that they
too may be truly set apart.
John: 17:20 “I am not praying only on their behalf, but also on
behalf of those who believe in me through their testimony, 17:21 that they will all be one, just as you, Father, are
in me and I am in you. I pray that they will be in us, so that the world will
believe that you sent me. 17:22 The glory you gave
to me I have given to them, that they may be one just as we are one – 17:23 I in them and you in me – that they may be completely
one, so that the world will know that you sent me, and you have loved them just
as you have loved me.
17:24 “Father, I want those you have given me to be with me
where I am, so that they can see my glory that you gave me because you loved me
before the creation of the world. 17:25
Righteous Father, even if the world does not know you, I know you, and these
men know that you sent me. 17:26 I made known your
name to them, and I will continue to make it known, so that the love you have
loved me with may be in them, and I may be in them.”
In the Garden of Gethsemane
Luke 22:35-8, Mt. 26:30, Jn. 18:1-3 Then Jesus said to
them, “When I sent you out with no money bag, or traveler’s bag, or sandals,
you didn’t lack anything, did you?” They replied, “Nothing.” 22:36 He said to them, “But
now, the one who has a money bag must take it, and likewise a traveler’s bag
too. And the one who has no sword must sell his cloak and buy one. 22:37 For
I tell you that this scripture must be fulfilled in me, ‘And he was counted
with the transgressors.’ For what is written about me is being fulfilled.” 22:38 So they said, “Look,
Lord, here are two swords.” Then he told them, “It is enough.”
Mt: 26:30 After singing a hymn,
they went out to the Mount of Olives. Jesus went out and made his way with them,
as he customarily did, to a place called Gethsemane and the disciples followed
him. When he came to the place, he said to them, “Pray that you will not fall
into temptation. Sit here while I go over there and pray.”
John 18:1 When he had said these things, Jesus went out with his
disciples across the Kidron Valley. There was an orchard there, and he and his
disciples went into it. 18:2 (Now Judas,
the one who betrayed him, knew the place too, because Jesus had met there many
times with his disciples.) 18:3 So Judas obtained a
squad of soldiers and some officers of the chief priests and Pharisees. They
came to the orchard with lanterns and torches and weapons.
Jesus
Prays in the Garden
Matthew 26:38-46,
Mark 14:32-42, Luke 22:39-46 Mk. 14:33 He
took Peter, James, and John with him, and became very troubled and distressed. Then
he said to them, “My soul is deeply grieved, even to the point of death. Remain
here and stay alert and awake with me.” 26:39
Going a little farther from them about a stone’s throw, he knelt down, and then
threw himself down with his face to the ground and prayed that if it were
possible the hour would pass from him, He said, “Abba, Father, all things are
possible for you. My Father, if possible, let this cup pass from me! Yet not
what I will, but what you will.” 26:40
Then he came to the disciples and found them sleeping. He said to Peter, “So, Simon,
are you sleeping? couldn’t you stay awake with me for one hour? 26:41 Stay awake and pray that you will not fall into
temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.” 26:42 He went away a second time and prayed, “My Father, if
this cup cannot be taken away unless I drink it, your will must be done.” 26:43 He came again and found them sleeping; they could not
keep their eyes open. And they did not know what to tell him. 26:44 So leaving them again, he went away and prayed for
the third time, saying the same thing once more. 22:43
Then an angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him. 22:44 And in his anguish, he prayed more earnestly, and his
sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground. 26:45, 22:45 When he got up from
prayer, he came to the disciples and found them sleeping, exhausted from grief.
He said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Enough of that! Look, the
hour is approaching; it has come. Why are you sleeping? Get up and pray that
you will not fall into temptation! Look, Son of Man is betrayed into the hands
of sinners. 26:46 Get up, let us go. Look! My betrayer is approaching!”
Jesus is
Betrayed and Arrested
Matthew: 26:47-56,
Mark 14:48-9, Luke 22:47-53, John 18:4-117 While he was still speaking, suddenly a crowd appeared, and the man
named Judas, one of the twelve, arrived. With him was a large crowd armed with
swords and clubs, sent by the chief priests and elders of the people 26:48 John: 18:4 Then
Jesus, because he knew everything that was going to happen to him, came and
asked them, “Who are you looking for?” 18:5 They
replied, “Jesus the Nazarene.” He told them, “I am he.” (Now Judas, the one who
betrayed him, was standing there with them.) 18:6 So
when Jesus said to them, “I am he,” they retreated and fell to the ground. 18:7 Then Jesus asked them again, “Who are you looking
for?” And they said, “Jesus the Nazarene.” 18:8
Jesus replied, “I told you that I am he. If you are looking for me, let these
men go.” 18:9 He said this to fulfill the word he had spoken, “I
have not lost a single one of those whom you gave me.”
(Now the
betrayer was leading them and had given them a sign, saying, “The one I kiss is
the man. Arrest him!”) 26:49 Immediately
he went up to Jesus to kiss him, and said, “Greetings, Rabbi,” and kissed him 50 22:48 But
Jesus said to him, “Judas, would you betray the Son of Man with a kiss? Friend,
do what you are here to do.” Then they came and took hold of Jesus and arrested
him.
22:49 When those who were around him saw what was
about to happen, they said, “Lord, should we use our swords? One of those with
Jesus, Simon Peter, who had a sword, grabbed his sword, drew it out, and struck
the high priest’s slave, cutting off his right ear (Now the slave’s name was
Malchus). 22:51
But Jesus said, “Enough of this!” And to Peter, “Put your sword back into its
sheath! Am I not to drink the cup that the Father has given me?” And he touched
the man’s ear and healed him. 26:52 Then
Jesus said to him, “Put your sword back in its place! For all who take hold of
the sword will die by the sword. 26:53 Or do you think that I cannot call on my Father,
and that he would send me more than twelve legions of angels right now? 26:54 How
then would the scriptures that say it must happen this way be fulfilled?” 26:55 At
that moment Jesus said to the crowd, “Have you come out with swords and clubs
to arrest me like you would an outlaw? Day after day I sat teaching in the
temple courts, yet you did not arrest me. 26:56 But this has happened so
that the scriptures of the prophets would be fulfilled.” This is your hour, and
that of the power of darkness!”
Mark 14:50 Then all the disciples
left him and fled. 14:51
A young man was following him, wearing only a linen cloth. They tried to arrest
him, 14:52
but he ran off naked, leaving his linen cloth behind.
Matthew 26:57-61, Mk. 14:53-65, Luke 22:54-55, John
18:12-16
John 18:12 Then the squad of soldiers with their commanding officer and the
officers of the Jewish leaders who had arrested Jesus and tied him up Jesus led
him first to Annas, for he was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, the high priest,
in whose house the experts in the law and the elders had gathered. 26:58 But
Peter was following him from a distance, all the way to the high priest’s
courtyard and he was sitting with the guards, warming himself at the fire. (Now
the other disciple was acquainted with the high priest, and he went with Jesus
into the high priest’s courtyard.) 18:16 But Simon Peter was left standing outside by the
door. So, the other disciple who was acquainted with the high priest came out
and spoke to the slave girl who watched the door, and brought Peter inside.
After going in, he sat with the guards to see the outcome. 26:59 The
chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were trying to find false testimony
against Jesus so that they could put him to death. 26:60
But they did not find anything, though many false witnesses came forward. Mark 14:56 Many
gave false testimony against him, but their testimony did not agree. 14:57 Some
stood up and gave this false testimony against him: 14:58 “We heard him say, ‘I
will destroy this temple of God made with hands and in three days build another
not made with hands.’” 14:59 Yet even on this point their testimony did not
agree. 18:14
(Now it was Caiaphas who had advised the Jewish leaders that it was to their
advantage that one man die for the people.)
Jesus on
Trial before the Jewish Leaders
Matthew: 26:62-68, Mk 14:60-62, Lk 22:66-71, John
18:19-23
When day came, the council of the elders of the people gathered together, both
the chief priests and the experts in the law. Then they led Jesus away to their
council. So, the high priest stood up before them and asked Jesus, “Have you no
answer? What is this that they are testifying against you?” 26:63 But
Jesus was silent and did not answer. The high priest said to him, “I charge you
under oath by the living God, tell us if you are the Christ, the Messiah, the
Son of Blessed One.” 26:64
Jesus said to him, “I am. You have said it yourself.” He also said to them, “If
I tell you, you will not believe, 22:68 and if I ask you, you will not answer. But I tell
you, from now on you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the
Power and coming on the clouds of heaven.” 22:71 Then they said, “Why do
we need further testimony? We have heard it ourselves from his own lips!” 26:65 Then
the high priest tore his clothes and declared, “He has blasphemed! Why do we
still need witnesses? Now you have heard the blasphemy! 26:66 What is your verdict?”
They answered, “He is guilty and deserves death.” They all condemned him as
deserving death. 14:65 Then some began to spit in his face,
and to blindfold him, and to strike him with their fists. And some slapped him,
26:68
saying, “Prophesy for us, you Christ! Who hit you?” The guards also took him
and beat him.26:67
Then they spat and struck him with their fists.
Matthew 26:69-70,
Mark 14:66-68, Luke 22:56-57, John 18:17 Now Peter was sitting outside below in the courtyard. A slave girl,
one of the high priest’s slave girls, who was the doorkeeper, when she saw
Peter warming himself, looked directly, stared at him and came to him and said,
“You also were with Jesus the Galilean, that Nazarene. You’re not one of this
man’s disciples too, are you?” 26:70 But
he denied it in front of them all: “I am not. I don’t even understand or know
what you’re talking about!” 18:18 (Now the slaves and
the guards were standing around a charcoal fire they had made, warming
themselves because it was cold. Peter also was standing with them, warming
himself.) And he went out into the forecourt. Then the cock crowed.
Jesus Defense
John: 18:19-24 While this was
happening, the high priest questioned Jesus about his disciples and about his
teaching. 18:20 Jesus replied, “I have spoken openly,
publicly, to the world. I always taught in the synagogues and in the temple
courts, where all the Jewish people assemble together. I have said nothing in
secret. 18:21
Why do you ask me? Ask those who heard what I said. They know what I said.” 18:22 When
Jesus had said this, one of the high priest’s officers who stood nearby struck
him on the face and said, “Is that the way you answer the high priest?” 18:23
Jesus replied, “If I have said something wrong, confirm what is wrong. But if I
spoke correctly, why strike me?” 18:24 Then Annas sent him, still tied up, to Caiaphas the
high priest.
Matthew 26:71-5, Mark 14:69-72, Luke 23:58-62,
John 18:25-7
Meanwhile Simon Peter was still standing in the courtyard warming himself. When
he went out to the gateway, another slave girl saw him and said again to the
people there, “This man was with Jesus the Nazarene. You aren’t one of his
disciples too, are you?” 26:72 He denied it again
with an oath, “I am not! I do not know the man!” 26:73 After a little while, 18:26 one
of the high priest’s slaves, a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off,
said, “Did I not see you in the orchard with him?” Then, about an hour later, those
standing there came up to Peter and said, “You really are one of them too –
even your accent gives you away! You must be one of them, because you are also
a Galilean” 26:74 At that he began to curse, and he swore with an oath,
“I do not know the man!” At that moment, a rooster crowed. The Lord turned and
looked at Peter. 26:75 Then Peter remembered what Jesus had said: “Before
the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.” And he went outside and broke
down and wept bitterly.
Mt. 27:1-2,
Mark 15:1-3, Luke 23:1-5, John 18:28-32 When it was early in the morning, all the chief priests and the elders
of the people held a consultation and formed a plan, plotting against Jesus to
execute him. Then the whole group of them rose up and brought Jesus from
Caiaphas to the Roman governor’s residence before Pilate. (Now it was very
early morning.) They tied him up, led him away, and handed him over to Pilate the
governor. They did not go into the governor’s residence so they would not be
ceremonially defiled, but could eat the Passover meal.
Jn. 18:29 So Pilate came outside to them and said, “What
accusation do you bring against this man?” 18:30
They replied, “If this man were not a criminal, we would not have handed him
over to you.”
18:31 Pilate told them, “Take him yourselves and pass
judgment on him according to your own law!” The Jewish leaders replied, “We
cannot legally put anyone to death.” 18:32
(This happened to fulfill the word Jesus had spoken when he indicated what kind
of death he was going to die.)
Lk. 23:2-5 They began to accuse him of many things, saying, “We
found this man subverting our nation, forbidding us to pay the tribute tax to
Caesar and claiming that he himself is Christ, a king.” 23:3 So Pilate asked Jesus, “Are you the king of the
Jews?” He replied, “You say so.” 23:4 Then Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds,
“I find no basis for an accusation against this man.” 23:5 But they persisted in saying, “He incites the people
by teaching throughout all Judea. It started in Galilee and ended up here!”
Luke 23:6-13 Now when Pilate heard this, he asked whether the man
was a Galilean. 23:7 When he learned that he was from Herod’s jurisdiction,
he sent him over to Herod, who also happened to be in Jerusalem at that time. 23:8 When
Herod saw Jesus, he was very glad, for he had long desired to see him, because
he had heard about him and was hoping to see him perform some miraculous sign. 23:9 So Herod questioned him at considerable length; Jesus
gave him no answer. 23:10 The chief priests and the experts in the law were
there, vehemently accusing him. 23:11 Even Herod with his soldiers treated him with
contempt and mocked him. Then, dressing him in elegant clothes, Herod sent him
back to Pilate. 23:12 That very day Herod and Pilate became friends with
each other, for prior to this they had been enemies.
Mt. 27:3-10 Now when Judas, who had betrayed him, saw that
Jesus had been condemned, he regretted what he had done and returned the thirty
silver coins to the chief priests and the elders, 27:4 saying, “I have sinned by
betraying innocent blood!” But they said, “What is that to us? You take care of
it yourself!” 27:5
So Judas threw the silver coins into the temple and left. Then he went out and
hanged himself. 27:6
The chief priests took the silver and said, “It is not lawful to put this into
the temple treasury, since it is blood money.” 27:7 After consulting together
they bought the Potter’s Field with it, as a burial place for foreigners. 27:8 For
this reason that field has been called the “Field of Blood” to this day. 27:9 Then
what was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled: “They took the thirty silver coins, the price of the one whose price had
been set by the people of Israel, 27:10 and they gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord commanded me.”
Acts
1:16-20 [Later
Peter would say], “Brothers, the scripture had to be fulfilled that the Holy
Spirit foretold through David concerning Judas – who became the guide for those
who arrested Jesus – 1:17
for he was counted as one of us and received a share in this ministry.” 1:18 (Now
this man Judas acquired a field with the reward of his unjust deed, and falling
headfirst he burst open in the middle and all his intestines gushed out. 1:19 This
became known to all who lived in Jerusalem, so that in their own language they
called that field Hakeldama, that is, “Field of Blood.”) 1:20 “For it is written in the
book of Psalms, ‘Let his house become deserted, and let there be no one to live
in it,’ and ‘Let another take his position of responsibility.’
Jesus on
Trial before the Roman Governor Pilate
Mt. 27:11-14,
Mk. 15:4-5, Lk. 23:13-16 Then Jesus
stood before the governor, and the governor Pilate asked him, “Are you the king
of the Jews?” Jesus said, “You say so.” 23:13
Then Pilate called together the chief priests, the rulers, and the people, 23:14 and said to them, “You brought me this man as one who
was misleading the people. When I examined him before you, I did not find this
man guilty of anything you accused him of doing. 23:15 Neither did Herod, for he sent him back to us. Look,
he has done nothing deserving death. 23:16 I
will therefore have him flogged and release him.”
27:12 But when he was accused by the chief priests and the
elders, he did not respond. 27:13 Then Pilate said to
him, “Don’t you hear how many charges they are bringing against you?” 27:14 But he did not answer even one accusation, so that
the governor was quite amazed. Then
Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, “I find no basis for an
accusation against this man.”
Pilate Questions Jesus
John: 18:33-8 So Pilate went back into the governor’s residence,
summoned Jesus, and asked him, “Are you the king of the Jews?” 18:34 Jesus replied, “Are you saying this on your own
initiative, or have others told you about me?” 18:35
Pilate answered, “I am not a Jew, am I? Your own people and your chief priests
handed you over to me. What have you done?”
18:36 Jesus replied, “My kingdom is not from this world. If
my kingdom were from this world, my servants would be fighting to keep me from
being handed over to the Jewish authorities. But as it is, my kingdom is not
from here.” 18:37 Then Pilate said, “So you are a king!” Jesus replied,
“You say that I am a king. For this reason, I was born, and for this reason I
came into the world – to testify to the truth. Everyone who belongs to the
truth listens to my voice.” 18:38 Pilate asked, “What
is truth?”
Barabbas or Jesus
Mt. 27:15-23, Mk. 15:6-14, Lk. 23: 18-19, Jn. 18:39-40 During the feast the
governor was accustomed to release one prisoner to the crowd, whomever they
wanted. 27:16
At that time they had in custody a notorious prisoner named Jesus Barabbas who
was imprisoned with rebels who had committed murder during an insurrection. 15:8 Then
the crowd came up and began to ask Pilate to release a prisoner for them, as
was his custom. 27:17
So after they had assembled 19:4 again, Pilate went out a second time and said to the
Jewish leaders, “Look, I am bringing him out to you, so that you may know that
I find no reason for an accusation against him. 18:39 But it is your custom that I release one prisoner for you at the
Passover.” Pilate said to them, “Whom do you want me to release for you, Jesus
Barabbas or Jesus who is called the Christ?” 27:18 (For he knew that they
had handed him over because of envy.)
27:19 As he was sitting on the judgment seat, his
wife sent a message to him: “Have nothing to do with that innocent man; I have
suffered greatly as a result of a dream about him today.” 27:20 But the chief priests and
the elders persuaded the crowds to ask for Barabbas and to have Jesus killed. 27:21 The governor again asked
them, “Which of the two do you want me to release for you? So, do you want me
to release for you the king of the Jews?” 18:40 Then they shouted back,
“Not this man, but Barabbas!” (Now Barabbas was a revolutionary.)”
27:22 Pilate said to them, “Then what should I do
with Jesus who is called the Christ?” They all shouted out together, “Away with
this fellow, Crucify him!” 27:23 He asked, “Why? What wrong, what evil has he done?”
But they shouted more insistently, “Crucify him!”
Matthew
27:24-31, Mark 15:15-20, Luke 23:20-25,
John 19:1-16, John 19: 1 Then
Pilate took Jesus and had him flogged severely. 19:2 The
soldiers braided a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and they clothed him
in a purple robe. 19:3 They came up to him again and again and said, “Hail,
king of the Jews!” And they struck him repeatedly in the face.
19:4 Again Pilate went out a third time and said to the
Jewish leaders, “Look, I am bringing him out to you, so that you may know that
I find no reason for an accusation against him.” 19:5 So
Jesus came outside, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. Pilate
said to them, “Look, here is the man!” 19:6 When
the chief priests and their officers saw him, they shouted out, “Crucify him!
Crucify him!” Pilate said, “You take him and crucify him! Certainly, I find no
reason for an accusation against him!” 19:7 The
Jewish leaders replied, “We have a law, and according to our law he ought to
die, because he claimed to be the Son of God!”
19:8 When Pilate heard what they said, he was more afraid
than ever, 19:9 and he went back into the governor’s residence and
said to Jesus, “Where do you come from?” But Jesus gave him no answer. 19:10 So Pilate said, “Do you refuse to speak to me? Don’t
you know I have the authority to release you, and to crucify you?” 19:11 Jesus replied, “You would have no authority over me
at all, unless it was given to you from above. Therefore, the one who handed me
over to you is guilty of greater sin.”
19:12 From this point on, Pilate tried to release him. But
the Jewish leaders shouted out, “If you release this man, you are no friend of
Caesar! Everyone who claims to be a king opposes Caesar!” 19:13 When Pilate heard these words he brought Jesus
outside and sat down on the judgment seat in the place called “The Stone
Pavement” (Gabbatha in Aramaic). 27:24 When Pilate saw that he could do nothing, but that
instead a riot was starting, he took some water, washed his hands before the
crowd and said, “I am innocent of this man’s blood. You take care of it
yourselves!” 23:23 But they were insistent, demanding with loud shouts
that he be crucified. 19:14 (Now it was the day of preparation for the Passover,
about noon.) Pilate said to the Jewish leaders, “Look, here is your king!”
19:15 Then they shouted out, “Away with him! Away
with him! Crucify him!” Pilate asked, “Shall I crucify your king?” 27:25 In
reply all the people said, “Let his blood be on us and on our children!” The high priests replied, “We have no king except Caesar!” And
their shouts prevailed.
Jesus Condemned
23:24 So Pilate decided that
their demand should be granted. 19:16 Then Pilate handed Jesus
over to their will as they wished to be crucified. 15:15 Because he wanted to satisfy the crowd, Pilate released the man
they ask for, Barabbas, the one who had been put in prison for insurrection and
murder, for them, and he handed.
27:27 Then
the governor’s soldiers took Jesus into the palace, the governor’s residence,
and gathered the whole cohort around him. 27:28 They stripped him and put a scarlet robe around him, 27:29 and
after braiding a crown of thorns, they put it on his head. They put a staff in
his right hand, and kneeling down before him, they mocked him and paid homage
to him: “Hail, king of the Jews!” 27:30 They spat on him and took the staff and struck him
repeatedly on the head with a reed. 27:31 When
they had mocked him, they stripped him of the purple robe and put his own
clothes back on him. Then they led him away to crucify him.
To
Golgotha
Matthew 27:32-37,
Mark 15:21-22, John 19:16-17 so
they took Jesus; and carrying the cross by himself, he went out. As they were
going out, they found a man from Cyrene named Simon, whom they forced to carry
his cross on his back and made him carry it behind Jesus. 23:27 A great number of the people followed him, among them
women who were mourning and wailing for him.
Luke: 23:28-31 But Jesus turned to them and said, “Daughters of
Jerusalem, do not weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children. 23:29 For this is certain: The days are coming when they
will say, ‘Blessed are the barren, the wombs that never bore children, and the
breasts that never nursed!’ 23:30 Then they will begin
to say to the mountains, ‘Fall on us!’ and to the hills, ‘Cover us!’ 23:31 For
if such things are done when the wood is green, what will happen when it is
dry?”
The
Crucifixion
Matthew 27:33-45, Mark 15:23-32 John 19:17-22, Luke
23:44-5 They came to a place
called Golgotha (which means “Place of the Skull”) 27:34 and offered Jesus wine
mixed with gall to drink. But after tasting it, he would not drink it. 27:36 Then
they sat down and kept guard over him there. 27:37 19:19 Pilate also had a notice
written and fastened to the cross above his head where he put the charge
against him, which read: “This is Jesus, the Nazarene the king of the Jews.”
19:20 Thus many of the Jewish residents of Jerusalem
read this notice, because the place where Jesus was crucified was near the
city, and the notice was written in Aramaic, Latin, and Greek. 19:21 Then
the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, “Do not write, ‘The king of the
Jews,’ but rather, ‘This man said, I am king of the Jews.’” 19:22
Pilate answered, “What I have written, I have written.”
John: 19:18 There they crucified him
along with two others, outlaws, one on each side, with Jesus in the middle. Mt. 27:45, Mark 15:33, Luke: 23:44
It was now about noon, and thick darkness came over the whole land until three
in the afternoon, 23:45 because the sun’s light failed.
John 19:23-24 Now when the soldiers crucified Jesus, they took his
clothes and made four shares, dividing
his clothes, throwing dice for them, to decide what each would take, one
for each soldier, and the tunic remained. (Now the tunic was seamless, woven
from top to bottom as a single piece.) 19:24 So
the soldiers said to one another, “Let’s not tear it, but throw dice to see who
will get it.” This took place to fulfill the scripture that says, “They divided
my garments among them, and for my clothing they threw dice.” So, the soldiers
did these things.
Matthew 27:39-44 Those who passed by defamed him, shaking their heads 27:40 and saying, “You who can destroy the temple and
rebuild it in three days, save yourself! If you are God’s Son, come down from
the cross!” 27:41 In the same way even the chief priests – together
with the experts in the law and elders – were mocking him: 27:42 “He saved others, but he cannot save himself! He is
the king of Israel! If he comes down now from the cross, we will believe in
him! 27:43 He trusts in God – let God, if he wants to,
deliver him now because he said, ‘I am God’s Son’!” 27:44 The robbers who were crucified with him also spoke
abusively to him.
John 19:25-27 Now standing beside Jesus’ cross were his mother, his
mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. 19:26 So when Jesus saw his mother and the disciple whom he
loved standing there, he said to his mother, “Woman, look, here is your son!” 19:27 He then said to his disciple, “Look, here is your
mother!” From that very time, the disciple took her into his own home.
Mark: 15:23-25 They offered him wine
mixed with gall or myrrh to drink, but he did not take it. 15:25 It
was nine o’clock in the morning when they crucified him.
Luke: 23:34 But Jesus said, “Father,
forgive them, for they don’t know what they are doing.”
Luke 23:39-43 One of the criminals who was hanging there railed at
him, saying, “Aren’t you the Christ? Save yourself and us!” 23:40 But the other rebuked him, saying, “Don’t you fear
God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation? 23:41 And we rightly so, for we are getting what we deserve
for what we did, but this man has done nothing wrong.” Then he [the thief on
the cross] said, “Jesus, remember me when you come in your kingdom.” 23:43 And
Jesus said to him, “I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in
paradise.”
John: 19:28-9 After this Jesus, realizing that by this time everything was
completed, said (in order to fulfill the scripture), “I am thirsty!” 19:29
A jar full of sour wine was there, so they put a sponge soaked in sour wine on
a branch of hyssop and lifted it to his mouth.
Matthew: 27:49 Mark: 15:34-36 Then, when he had received the sour
wine, at about three o’clock Jesus shouted with a loud voice, “Eli, Eli, lema
sabachthani?” that is, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” 27:47 When
some of the bystanders heard it, they said, “This man is calling for Elijah.” 27:48
Immediately one of them ran and got a sponge, filled it with sour wine, put it
on a stick, and gave it to him to drink. 27:49 But the rest said, “Leave
him alone! Let’s see if Elijah will come to save him.”
Matthew: 27:54, Mark 15:37-41, Luke 23:44-6; John 19:30 Jesus cried out
again with a loud voice and said, “It is finished, completed! Father, into your
hands I commit my spirit!” and bowed his head and gave up his spirit and
breathed his last. 27:51 Just
then the temple curtain was torn in two, from top to bottom. The earth shook
and the rocks were split apart. 27:52 And tombs were opened, and the bodies of many saints
who had died were raised. 27:53
(They came out of the tombs after his resurrection and went into the holy city
and appeared to many people.)
27:54 Now when the centurion and those with him who were
guarding Jesus saw the earthquake and what took place, they were extremely
terrified and praised God and said, “Truly this one was God’s Son!” 23:48 And all the crowds that had assembled for this
spectacle, when they saw what had taken place, returned home beating their
breasts. 23:49 And all those who knew Jesus stood at a distance. 27:55 Many
women who had followed Jesus from Galilee and given him support were also
there, watching from a distance. 27:56
Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James the younger and
Joseph, and Salome, the mother of the sons of Zebedee. 15:41 When he was in Galilee, they had followed him and
given him support. Many other women who had come up with him to Jerusalem were
there too.
John: 19:31-37 Then, because it was the day of preparation, so that
the bodies should not stay on the crosses on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was
an especially important one), the Jewish leaders asked Pilate to have the
victims’ legs broken and the bodies taken down. 19:32 So
the soldiers came and broke the legs of the two men who had been crucified with
Jesus, first the one and then the other. 19:33 But
when they came to Jesus and saw that he was already dead, they did not break
his legs. 19:34 But one of the soldiers pierced his side with a
spear, and blood and water flowed out immediately. 19:35 And
the person who saw it has testified (and his testimony is true, and he knows
that he is telling the truth), so that you also may believe. 19:36 For these things happened so that the scripture would
be fulfilled, “Not a bone of his will be broken.” 19:37 And
again another scripture says, “They will look on the one whom they have
pierced.”
Matthew:
27:57-61, Mk. 15:42-7, Luke 23:56, John 19:39-42 Now when it was evening, since it was the day of
preparation (that is, the day before the Sabbath), there came a rich man from
Arimathea, named Joseph, a highly regarded member of the council, a good and
righteous man. 23:51 (He had not consented to their plan and action.) who
was himself looking forward to the kingdom of God who was also a disciple of Jesus,
Jesus (but secretly, because he feared the Jewish leaders), 27:58 went boldly to Pilate and asked for the body of
Jesus. 15:44 Pilate was surprised that he was already dead. He
called the centurion and asked him if he had been dead for some time. 15:45
When Pilate was informed by the centurion, then Pilate ordered that it be given
to him. 19:39
Nicodemus, the man who had previously come to Jesus at night, accompanied
Joseph, carrying a mixture of myrrh and aloes weighing about seventy-five
pounds. 19:40 Then they took Jesus’ body and wrapped it, with the
aromatic spices, in strips of clean linen cloth according to Jewish burial
customs. 19:41 Now at the place where Jesus was crucified there was
a garden, and in the garden was a new tomb where no one had yet been buried. 19:42 And so, because it was the Jewish day of preparation
and the tomb was nearby, they placed Jesus’ body there, in his own new tomb
that he had cut in the rock.
27:60 Then [Joseph] rolled a great stone across the
entrance of the tomb and went away. 27:61
(Now Mary Magdalene and the other Mary, the mother of Joses were sitting there,
opposite the tomb and. saw where the body was placed.) 23:56 Then they returned and prepared aromatic spices and
perfumes but on the Sabbath they rested according to the commandment.
Matthew 27:62-66 The next day (which is after the day of preparation)
the chief priests and the Pharisees assembled before Pilate 27:63 and said, “Sir, we remember that while that deceiver
was still alive he said, ‘After three days I will rise again.’ 27:64 So give orders to secure the tomb until the third
day. Otherwise his disciples may come and steal his body and say to the people,
‘He has been raised from the dead,’ and the last deception will be worse than
the first.” 27:65 Pilate said to them, “Take a guard of soldiers. Go
and make it as secure as you can.” 27:66 So
they went with the soldiers of the guard and made the tomb secure by sealing
the stone.
Matthew 28:1-10,
Mark 16:1-11, Luke 24:4-12, John 20:1-10 Now after the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, while it
was still dark, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary the mother of James, and
Salome bought aromatic spices so that they might go and anoint him and went to
look at the tomb. 16:2 And very early on the first day of the week, at
sunrise, they went to the tomb. 16:3 They
had been asking each other, “Who will roll away the stone for us from the
entrance to the tomb?”28:2 Suddenly there was a severe earthquake, for an angel
of the Lord descending from heaven came and rolled away the stone and sat on it,
so 16:4 when
they looked up, they saw that the stone, which was very large, had been rolled
back. Mary Magdalene came to the tomb and saw that the stone had been moved
away from the entrance. 28:3 16:5 Then as they went into the tomb, they did not find
the body of the Lord Jesus. 24:4 While they
were perplexed about this they saw a young man dressed in a white robe sitting
on the right side; his appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were
white as snow. 28:4 The guards were shaken and became like dead men
because they were so afraid of him. 28:5 24:5 The women were terribly frightened and bowed their
faces to the ground, but the angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid; I know
that you are looking for Jesus, the Nazarene, who was crucified. 28:6 Come and see the place where he was lying. He is not
here, for he has been raised, just as he said. Remember how he told you, while
he was still in Galilee, 24:7 that the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands
of sinful men, and be crucified, and on the third day rise again.” 24:8 Then
the women remembered his words 28:7 Then
go quickly and tell his disciples, even Peter ‘He has been raised from the
dead. He is going ahead of you into Galilee. You will see him there.’ Listen, I
have told you!”
16:8 Then they went out and ran from the tomb, for terror
and bewilderment had seized them. And they said nothing to anyone, because they
were afraid. 28:8 So they left the tomb quickly, with fear and great
joy, and ran to tell these things to the eleven and to all the rest of his
disciples. 24:10 Now it was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of
James, and the other women with them who told these things to the apostles.
Mark 16:9 He appeared first to Mary
Magdalene, from whom he had cast out seven demons. John 20:11-18 Mary stood outside the tomb weeping. As she wept, she bent down and
looked into the tomb. 20:12 And she saw two angels in white sitting where Jesus’
body had been lying, one at the head and one at the feet. 20:13 They said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping?” Mary
replied, “They have taken my Lord away, and I do not know where they have put
him!” 20:14 When she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus
standing there, but she did not know that it was Jesus.
20:15 Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Who
are you looking for?” Because she thought he was the gardener, she said to him,
“Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will
take him.” 20:16 Jesus said to her, “Mary.” She turned and said to him
in Aramaic, “Rabboni” (which means Teacher). 20:17
Jesus replied, “Do not touch me, for I have not yet ascended to my Father. Go
to my brothers and tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to
my God and your God.’”
28:9 But Jesus met the other women, saying, “Greetings!”
They came to him, held on to his feet and worshiped him. 28:10 Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid. Go and
tell my brothers to go to Galilee. They will see me there.” 24:11 But these words seemed like pure nonsense to them,
and they did not believe them. 20:2 But
Mary Magdalene had gone running and told those who had been with him, while
they were mourning and weeping. She spoke to Simon Peter and the other disciple
whom Jesus loved and told them, “They have taken the Lord from the tomb, and we
don’t know where they have put him!” 20:18 Then
she informed the disciples, “I have seen the Lord!” And she told them what
Jesus had said to her. When they heard that he was alive and had been seen by
her, they would not believe it. 20:3 Then
Peter and the other disciple set out to go to the tomb. 20:4 The two were running together, but the other disciple
ran faster than Peter and reached the tomb first. 20:5 He
bent down and saw the strips of linen cloth lying there, but he did not go in. 20:6 Then Simon Peter, who had been following him, arrived
and went right into the tomb. He saw the strips of linen cloth lying there, 20:7 and the face cloth, which had been around Jesus’
head, not lying with the strips of linen cloth but rolled up in a place by itself.
20:8 Then the other disciple, who had reached the tomb
first, came in, and he saw and believed. 20:9 (For
they did not yet understand the scripture that Jesus must rise from the dead.) 24:12 But Peter got up and then he and the disciples went
home, wondering what had happened.
The Guards’ Report
Matthew 28:11-15 While they were going, some of the guard went into
the city and told the chief priests everything that had happened. 28:12 After they had assembled with the elders and formed a
plan, they gave a large sum of money to the soldiers, 28:13 telling them, “You are to say, ‘His disciples came at
night and stole his body while we were asleep.’ 28:14 If
this matter is heard before the governor, we will satisfy him and keep you out
of trouble.” 28:15 So they took the money and did as they were
instructed. And this story is told among the Jews to this day.
Mark
16:12-14, Luke 24:13-35 After this
he appeared in a different form to two of them while they were on their way to
the country. Two of them were on their way to a village called Emmaus, about
seven miles from Jerusalem. 24:14 They were talking to each other about all the things
that had happened. 24:15 While they were talking and debating these things,
Jesus himself approached and began to accompany them 24:16 (but their eyes were kept from recognizing him). 24:17 Then he said to them, “What are these matters you are
discussing so intently as you walk along?” And they stood still, looking sad. 24:18 Then one of them, named Cleopas, answered him, “Are
you the only visitor to Jerusalem who doesn’t know the things that have
happened there in these days?” 24:19 He said to them, “What things?” “The things
concerning Jesus the Nazarene,” they replied, “a man who, with his powerful
deeds and words, proved to be a prophet before God and all the people; 24:20 and how our chief priests and rulers handed him over
to be condemned to death, and crucified him. 24:21 But we had hoped that he was the one who was going to
redeem Israel. Not only this, but it is now the third day since these things
happened. 24:22 Furthermore, some women of our group amazed us. They
were at the tomb early this morning, 24:23 and when they did not find his body, they came back
and said they had seen a vision of angels, who said he was alive. 24:24
Then some of those who were with us went to the tomb, and found it just as the
women had said, but they did not see him.” 24:25 So
he said to them, “You foolish people – how slow of heart to believe all that
the prophets have spoken! 24:26 Wasn’t it necessary for the Christ to suffer these
things and enter into his glory?” 24:27
Then beginning with Moses and all the prophets, he interpreted to them the
things written about himself in all the scriptures.
24:28 So they approached the village where they were going.
He acted as though he wanted to go farther,
24:29 but they urged him, “Stay with us, because it is
getting toward evening and the day is almost done.” So he went in to stay with
them.
24:30 When he had taken his place at the table with them,
he took the bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them. 24:31 At
this point their eyes were opened and they recognized him. Then he vanished out
of their sight. 24:32 They said to each other, “Didn’t our hearts burn
within us while he was speaking with us on the road, while he was explaining
the scriptures to us?” 24:33 So they got up that very hour and returned to
Jerusalem. They found the eleven and those with them gathered together 24:34 and saying, “The Lord has really risen, and has
appeared to Simon!” 24:35 Then they told what had happened on the road, and how
they recognized him when he broke the bread, but they did not believe them.
Mark 16:14-15,
Luke 24:36-43, John 20:19-23 On
the evening of that day, the first day of the week, the disciples had gathered
together and locked the doors of the place because they were afraid of the
Jewish leaders. While the two from Emmaus were giving their report, Jesus
himself stood among the eleven themselves, while they were eating, and said to
them, “Peace be with you.” 24:37 But they were startled and terrified, thinking they
saw a ghost. 24:38 Then he said to them, “Why are you frightened, and
why do doubts arise in your hearts?” 24:39 “Look
at my hands and my feet; it’s me! Touch me and see; a ghost does not have flesh
and bones like you see I have.” 24:40
When he had said this, he showed them his hands, his side and his feet. 24:41 And
while they still could not believe it (because of their joy) and were amazed,
he said to them, “Do you have anything here to eat?” 24:42 So they gave him a piece of broiled fish, 24:43 and
he took it and ate it in front of them. 16:14
Then he rebuked them for their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did
not believe those who had seen him resurrected 20:21 So
Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. Just as the Father has sent me, I
also send you.” 20:22 And after he said this, he breathed on them and said,
“Receive the Holy Spirit. 20:23 If you forgive
anyone’s sins, they are forgiven; if you retain anyone’s sins, they are
retained.” Then the disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord.
John 20:24-29 Now Thomas (called Didymus), one of the twelve, was
not with them when Jesus came. 20:25 The
other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord!” But he replied, “Unless I
see the wounds from the nails in his hands, and put my finger into the wounds
from the nails, and put my hand into his side, I will never believe it!”
20:26 Eight days later the disciples were again together in
the house, and Thomas was with them. Although the doors were locked, Jesus came
and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!” 20:27 Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here, and
examine my hands. Extend your hand and put it into my side. Do not continue in
your unbelief, but believe.” 20:28 Thomas
replied to him, “My Lord and my God!” 20:29
Jesus said to him, “Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are the
people who have not seen and yet have believed.”
