8.1: The Death Of Jesus
JESUS FROM SEVEN SOURCES Copyright © 2000 - Kenneth Ray Taylor Chapter Eight: The Death Of Jesus
Thursday 158. The Passover* Prepared [Mat 26:17-19; Mark 14:12-16; Luk 22:7-13; & John 13:1] [*Note: This is the fourth and final Passover of our Lord’s ministry.]
[ Jn] Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end.
Luk 22:7 [Mt Mk Lk ] And the [Mt Mk ] first [ Mk Lk ] day [Mt Mk Lk ] of unleavened bread [ Lk ] came, [ Mk Lk ] when the passover [ Lk ] must be [ Mk Lk ] killed.
Luk 22:8 [ Lk ] And [ Mk ] his [Mt Mk ] disciples [Mt ] came to Jesus, [Mt Mk ] saying unto him, Where wilt thou that we [ Mk ] go and [Mt Mk ] prepare [ Mk ] that [Mt Mk ] thou [ Mk ] mayest [Mt Mk ] eat the passover?
Mark 14:13 [Mt Mk ] And [Mt Mk Lk ] he [ Mk Lk ] sendeth forth [ Mk ] two of his disciples, [ Lk ] Peter and John, [ Mk ] and [Mt Mk Lk ] saith [ Mk ] unto them, [Mt Mk Lk ] Go [ Lk ] and prepare us the passover, that we may eat.
Luk 22:9 [ Lk ] And they said unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare?
Luk 22:10 [ Lk ] And he said unto them, Behold, when ye are entered [Mt Mk Lk ] into the city, [ Mk Lk ] there shall [Mt Mk Lk ] a man [ Mk Lk ] meet you, bearing a pitcher of water; follow him [ Lk ] into the house where he entereth in.
Luk 22:11 [Mt Mk Lk ] And [ Mk ] wheresoever he shall go in, [ Lk ] ye shall [Mt Mk Lk ] say to [ Mk Lk ] the goodman of the house, [Mt Mk Lk ] The Master saith [ Lk ] unto thee, [Mt ] My time is at hand; I will keep [Mt Mk Lk ] the passover [Mt ] at thy house.
[ Mk Lk ] Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat [Mt Mk Lk ] with my disciples?
Luk 22:12 [ Mk Lk ] And he will shew you a large upper room furnished [ Mk ] [and] prepared:
[ Mk Lk ] there make ready [ Mk ] for us.
Luk 22:13 [Mt Mk Lk ] And [ Mk ] his [Mt Mk ] disciples [ Mk Lk ] went forth, [ ] [and] [Mt ] did as Jesus had appointed them, [ Mk ] and came into the city, [ Mk Lk ] and found as he had said unto them:
[Mt Mk Lk ] and they made ready the passover.
159. Jesus Institutes the Lord’s Supper [Mat 26:20; Mat 26:26-29; Mark 14:17; Mark 14:22-25; Luk 22:14-20; & 1Co 11:23b-25 (the Lord Jesus...)]
Luk 22:14 [Mt Mk Lk ] And when the [Mt Mk ] evening [ Lk ] hour [Mt Mk Lk ] was come,
1Co 11:23 b [ 1C] the [same] night in which he was betrayed, the Lord Jesus [ Mk ] came [ ] [and] [Mt Lk ] sat down, [ Lk ] and [Mt Mk Lk ] the twelve [ Lk ] apostles [Mt Mk Lk ] with [ Lk ] him.
Luk 22:15 [ Lk ] And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer:
Luk 22:16 [ Lk ] for I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.
Luk 22:17 [ Lk ] And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide [it] among yourselves:
Luk 22:18 [Mt Lk ] for
Mark 14:25 [ Mk ] verily [Mt Mk Lk ] I say unto you, I will not drink [Mt ] henceforth [ Mk ] any more [Mt Mk Lk ] of [Mt ] this [Mt Mk Lk ] fruit of the vine, until [Mt Mk ] that day when [ Mk Lk ] the kingdom of God [ Lk ] shall come, [ ] [and] [Mt Mk ] I drink it new [Mt ] with you [Mt Mk ] in [Mt ] my Father’s kingdom.
Luk 22:19 [Mt Mk Lk ] And [Mt Mk ] as they were eating, Jesus [Mt Mk Luk 1:1-80C] took bread:
1Co 11:24 [Mt Mk Luk 1:1-80C] and when he had [ Luk 1:1-80C] given thanks [ ] [and] [Mt Mk ] blessed [it], [Mt Mk Luk 1:1-80C] he brake [it], [Mt Mk Lk ] and gave [it] to [Mt ] the disciples, [Mt Mark 1:1-45C] and [Mt Mk Luk 1:1-80C] said, [Mt Mark 1:1-45C] Take, eat:
[Mt Mk Luk 1:1-80C] this is my body, [ Luk 1:1-80C] which is [ 1C] broken [ ] [and] [ Lk ] given [ Luk 1:1-80C] for you: this do in remembrance of me.
1Co 11:25 [Mt Mk Luk 1:1-80C] And [ Luk 1:1-80C] likewise after supper [Mt Mk ] he took [Mt Mk Luk 1:1-80C] the cup, [Mt Mk ] and when he had given thanks, he gave [it] to them:
[ Mk ] and they all drank of it.
Mark 14:24 [ Mk ] And he [Mt Mk Luk 1:1-80C] said [ Mk ] unto them, [Mt ] Drink ye all of it;
Mat 26:28 [Mt ] for [Mt Mk Luk 1:1-80C] this [ Luk 1:1-80C] cup [Mt Mark 1:1-45C] is [Mt Mk Luk 1:1-80C] the new testament [ Luk 1:1-80C] in [Mt Mk Luk 1:1-80C] my blood, [Mt Mk Lk ] which is shed [ Lk ] for you [ ] [and] [Mt Mk ] for many [Mt ] for the remission of sins:
[ 1C] this do ye, as oft as ye drink [it], in remembrance of me.
160. The Disciples Argue About Who is Greatest
Luk 22:24 [Lk] And there was also a strife among them, which of them should be accounted the greatest.
[Lk] And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors.
[Lk] But ye [shall] not [be] so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve.
[Lk] For whether [is] greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? [is] not he that sitteth at meat? but I am among you as he that serveth.
Luk 22:28 [Lk] Ye are they which have continued with me in my temptations.
Luk 22:29 [Lk] And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me;
Luk 22:30 [Lk] that ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
161. Jesus Washes His Disciples’ Feet
[Jn] And supper being ended, the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s [son], to betray him;
[Jn] Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he was come from God, and went to God;
John 13:4 [Jn] he riseth from supper, and laid aside his garments; and took a towel, and girded himself.
[Jn] After that he poureth water into a bason, and began to wash the disciples’ feet, and to wipe [them] with the towel wherewith he was girded.
John 13:6 [Jn] Then cometh he to Simon Peter: and Peter saith unto him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet?
John 13:7 [Jn] Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter.
[Jn] Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me.
John 13:9 [Jn] Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also [my] hands and [my] head.
[Jn] Jesus saith to him, He that is washed needeth not save to wash [his] feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are clean, but not all.
John 13:11 [Jn] For he knew who should betray him; therefore said he, Ye are not all clean.
[Jn] So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments, and was set down again, he said unto them, Know ye what I have done to you?
John 13:13 [Jn] Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for [so] I am.
John 13:14 [Jn] If I then, [your] Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another’s feet.
John 13:15 [Jn] For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you.
[Jn] Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him.
John 13:17 [Jn] If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them.
162. Jesus Indicates His Betrayer [Mat 26:21-25; Mark 14:18-21; Luk 22:21-23; & John 13:18-30]
[ Jn] I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen: but that the scripture may be fulfilled, He that eateth bread with me hath lifted up his heel against me.
John 13:19 [ Jn] Now I tell you before it come, that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe that I am [he].
[ Jn] Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.
Mark 14:18 [Mt Mk ] And
John 13:21 [ Jn] when [ Mk Jn] Jesus [ Jn] had thus said, [Mt Mk ] as they [ Mk ] sat and [Mt Mk ] did eat, [Mt Jn] he [ Jn] was troubled in spirit, and testified, and [Mt Mk Jn] said,
Luk 22:21 [ Lk ] But, behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me [is] with me on the table.
[ Jn] Verily, [Mt Mk Jn] verily, I say unto you, that one of you [ Mk ] which eateth with me [Mt Mk Jn] shall betray me.
John 13:22 [ Jn] Then the disciples looked one on another, doubting of whom he spake.
Luk 22:23 [Mt Mk Lk ] And they [ Mk Lk ] began [ Mk ] to [Mt Mk ] be [Mt ] exceeding [Mt Mk ] sorrowful, [ ] [and] [ Lk ] to enquire among themselves, which of them it was that should do this thing.
[Mt Mk ] And [ ] [they] [Mt ] began [Mt Mk ] to say unto him, [Mt ] every one of them, [ Mk ] one by one, [Mt ] Lord, is [Mt Mk ] it I?
[ Mk ] and another [said, Is] it I?
Mark 14:20 [Mt Mk ] And he answered and said [ Mk ] unto them, [It is] one of the twelve:
[Mt ] he [Mt Mk ] that dippeth [Mt ] [his] hand [Mt Mk ] with me in the dish, [Mt ] the same shall betray me.
Luk 22:22 [ Lk ] And
Mark 14:21 [Mt Mk Lk ] the Son of man indeed goeth, as it is [Mt Mk ] written [ ] [and] [ Lk ] determined [Mt Mk ] of him:
[Mt Mk Lk ] but woe unto that man by whom [Mt Mk ] the Son of man [Mt Mk Lk ] is betrayed!
[Mt Mk ] good were it for that man if he had not been born.
John 13:23 [ Jn] Now there was leaning on Jesus’ bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved.* [*Note: This is John himself. See John 21:24.]
John 13:24 [ Jn] Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, that he should ask who it should be of whom he spake.
John 13:25 [ Jn] He then lying on Jesus’ breast saith unto him, Lord, who is it?
[ Jn] Jesus answered, He it is, to whom I shall give a sop, when I have dipped [it]. And when he had dipped the sop, he gave [it] to Judas Iscariot, [the son] of Simon.
Mat 26:25 [Mt ] Then Judas, which betrayed him, answered and said, Master, is it I? He said unto him, Thou hast said.
John 13:27 [ Jn] And after the sop Satan entered into him. Then said Jesus unto him, That thou doest, do quickly.
John 13:28 [ Jn] Now no man at the table knew for what intent he spake this unto him.
[ Jn] For some [of them] thought, because Judas had the bag, that Jesus had said unto him, Buy [those things] that we have need of against the feast; or, that he should give something to the poor.
John 13:30 [ Jn] He then having received the sop went immediately out: and it was night.
163. The New Commandment
John 13:31 [Jn] Therefore, when he was gone out, Jesus said, Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him.
John 13:32 [Jn] If God be glorified in him, God shall also glorify him in himself, and shall straightway glorify him.
[Jn] Little children, yet a little while I am with you. Ye shall seek me: and as I said unto the Jews, Whither I go, ye cannot come; so now I say to you.
John 13:34 [Jn] A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
John 13:35 [Jn] By this shall all [men] know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.
164. Jesus Predicts Peter’s Denials [Mat 26:31-35; Mark 14:27-31; Luk 22:31-34; & John 13:36-38]
[ Jn] Simon Peter said unto him, Lord, whither goest thou? Jesus answered him, Whither I go, thou canst not follow me now; but thou shalt follow me afterwards.
John 13:37 [ Jn] Peter said unto him, Lord, why cannot I follow thee now? I will lay down my life for thy sake.
John 13:38 [ Jn] Jesus answered him, Wilt thou lay down thy life for my sake?
Mark 14:27 [ Mk ] And
Mat 26:31 [Mt ] then
[Mt Mk ] Jesus saith unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep [Mt ] of the flock [Mt Mk ] shall be scattered abroad.
Mark 14:28 [Mt Mk ] But after I am risen, I will go before you into Galilee.
Mark 14:29 [Mt Mk ] But Peter [Mt ] answered and [Mt Mk ] said unto him, Though all [men] shall be offended [Mt ] because of thee, [ Mk ] yet [Mt ] will [Mt Mk ] I not [Mt ] ever be offended.
[ Lk ] And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired [to have] you, that he may sift [you] as wheat:
[ Lk ] but I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.
Luk 22:33 [ Lk ] And he said unto him, Lord, I am ready to go with thee, both into prison, and to death.
Luk 22:34 [ Mk Lk ] And
Mat 26:34 [Mt Mk ] Jesus [Mt Mk Lk ] said [Mt Mk ] unto him, [ Jn] Verily, [Mt Mk Jn] verily, [Mt Mk Lk Jn] I say unto thee, [ Lk ] Peter, [Mt Mk ] That [ Mk Lk ] this day, [ Mk ] [even] [Mt Mk ] in this night, [Mt Mk Lk Jn] the cock [ Lk Jn] shall not [Mt Mk Lk Jn] crow [ Mk ] twice, [Mt Mk Lk Jn] before [ Lk ] that [Mt Mk Lk Jn] thou shalt thrice deny [ Lk ] that thou knowest [Mt Mk Lk Jn] me.
Mark 14:31 [ Mk ] But
Mat 26:35 [Mt ] Peter [Mt Mk ] said [Mt ] unto him [ Mk ] the more vehemently, [Mt Mk ] If I should die with thee, I will not deny thee in any wise. Likewise also said all [Mt ] the disciples.
165. Jesus Warns His Disciples to be Wary
[Lk] And he said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing.
[Lk] Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take [it], and likewise [his] scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.
[Lk] For I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned among the transgressors: for the things concerning me have an end.
Luk 22:38 [Lk] And they said, Lord, behold, here [are] two swords. And he said unto them, It is enough.
166. Jesus Comforts His Disciples
John 14:1 [Jn] Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
[Jn] In my Father’s house are many mansions: if [it were] not [so], I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
[Jn] And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, [there] ye may be also.
John 14:4 [Jn] And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.
John 14:5 [Jn] Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?
John 14:6 [Jn] Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
John 14:7 [Jn] If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.
John 14:8 [Jn] Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us.
[Jn] Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou [then], Shew us the Father?
[Jn] Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.
John 14:11 [Jn] Believe me that I [am] in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works’ sake.
[Jn] Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater [works] than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
John 14:13 [Jn] And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
John 14:14 [Jn] If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do [it].
John 14:15 [Jn] If ye love me, keep my commandments.
John 14:16 [Jn] And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
[Jn] [even] the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
John 14:18 [Jn] I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.
John 14:19 [Jn] Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.
John 14:20 [Jn] At that day ye shall know that I [am] in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.
[Jn] He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
[Jn] Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?
[Jn] Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
[Jn] He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father’s which sent me.
John 14:25 [Jn] These things have I spoken unto you, being [yet] present with you.
[Jn] But the Comforter, [which is] the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
[Jn] Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
[Jn] Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come [again] unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.
John 14:29 [Jn] And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe.
John 14:30 [Jn] Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.
[Jn] But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence.
167. Jesus and His Disciples Go to the Mount of Olives [Mat 26:30; Mark 14:26; & Luk 22:39]
[Mt Mk Lk] And [Mt Mk ] when they had sung an hymn,
[ Lk] he [Mt Mk Lk] came out, [ Lk] and went, as he was wont, [Mt Mk Lk] to the mount of Olives;
[ Lk] and his disciples also followed him.
168. Jesus’ Discourse Along the Way [John 15:1-27; John 16:1-33]
John 15:1 [Jn] I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.
[Jn] Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every [branch] that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.
John 15:3 [Jn] Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.
[Jn] Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.
[Jn] I am the vine, ye [are] the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.
[Jn] If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast [them] into the fire, and they are burned.
John 15:7 [Jn] If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.
John 15:8 [Jn] Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.
John 15:9 [Jn] As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.
[Jn] If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love.
John 15:11 [Jn] These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and [that] your joy might be full.
John 15:12 [Jn] This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.
John 15:13 [Jn] Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
John 15:14 [Jn] Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.
[Jn] Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.
[Jn] Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and [that] your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.
John 15:17 [Jn] These things I command you, that ye love one another.
John 15:18 [Jn] If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before [it hated] you.
[Jn] If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.
[Jn] Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep your’s also.
John 15:21 [Jn] But all these things will they do unto you for my name’s sake, because they know not him that sent me.
John 15:22 [Jn] If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloke for their sin.
John 15:23 [Jn] He that hateth me hateth my Father also.
[Jn] If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father.
[Jn] But [this cometh to pass], that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause.
[Jn] But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, [even] the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:
John 15:27 [Jn] and ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning.
John 16:1 [Jn] These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended.
[Jn] They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.
John 16:3 [Jn] And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me.
[Jn] But these things have I told you, that when the time shall come, ye may remember that I told you of them. And these things I said not unto you at the beginning, because I was with you.
John 16:5 [Jn] But now I go my way to him that sent me; and none of you asketh me, Whither goest thou?
John 16:6 [Jn] But because I have said these things unto you, sorrow hath filled your heart.
[Jn] Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.
John 16:8 [Jn] And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
John 16:9 [Jn] of sin, because they believe not on me;
John 16:10 [Jn] of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;
John 16:11 [Jn] of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.
John 16:12 [Jn] I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.
[Jn] Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, [that] shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
John 16:14 [Jn] He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew [it] unto you.
[Jn] All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew [it] unto you.
[Jn] A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me, because I go to the Father.
[Jn] Then said [some] of his disciples among themselves, What is this that he saith unto us, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me: and, Because I go to the Father?
John 16:18 [Jn] They said therefore, What is this that he saith, A little while? we cannot tell what he saith.
[Jn] Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask him, and said unto them, Do ye enquire among yourselves of that I said, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me?
[Jn] Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy.
[Jn] A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world.
[Jn] And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you.
[Jn] And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give [it] you.
John 16:24 [Jn] Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.
[Jn] These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs: but the time cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs, but I shall shew you plainly of the Father.
John 16:26 [Jn] At that day ye shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for you:
John 16:27 [Jn] for the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God.
John 16:28 [Jn] I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father.
John 16:29 [Jn] His disciples said unto him, Lo, now speakest thou plainly, and speakest no proverb.
[Jn] Now are we sure that thou knowest all things, and needest not that any man should ask thee: by this we believe that thou camest forth from God.
John 16:31 [Jn] Jesus answered them, Do ye now believe?
[Jn] Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is now come, that ye shall be scattered, every man to his own, and shall leave me alone: and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.
[Jn] These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
169. Jesus Prays for His Disciples
[Jn] These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee:
John 17:2 [Jn] as thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.
John 17:3 [Jn] And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.
John 17:4 [Jn] I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.
John 17:5 [Jn] And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.
[Jn] I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word.
John 17:7 [Jn] Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee.
[Jn] For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received [them], and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me.
John 17:9 [Jn] I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine.
John 17:10 [Jn] And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them.
[Jn] And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we [are].
[Jn] While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.
[Jn] And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.
[Jn] I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
John 17:15 [Jn] I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.
John 17:16 [Jn] They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
John 17:17 [Jn] Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
John 17:18 [Jn] As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.
John 17:19 [Jn] And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.
John 17:20 [Jn] Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;
[Jn] that they all may be one; as thou, Father, [art] in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.
John 17:22 [Jn] And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:
[Jn] I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.
[Jn] Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.
[Jn] O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.
[Jn] And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare [it]: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.
170. Jesus’ Agony in the Garden [Mat 26:36-46; Mark 14:32-42; Luk 22:40-46; & John 18:1-2]
Mat 26:36 [Mt ] Then
John 18:1 [ Jn] when [Mt Jn] Jesus [ Jn] had spoken these words, he went forth [Mt Jn] with [ Jn] his disciples over the brook Cedron:
Luk 22:40 [ Mk Lk ] and [Mt Mk ] they [Mt Mk Lk ] came unto [ Lk ] the [Mt Mk Lk ] place, [ Jn] where was a garden, [ Mk ] which was [Mt Mk ] called Gethsemane, [ Jn] into the which he entered, and his disciples.
[ Jn] And Judas also, which betrayed him, knew the place: for Jesus ofttimes resorted thither with his disciples.
[Mt Mk ] And he saith unto [ Mk ] his [Mt Mk ] disciples, Sit ye here, while I [Mt ] go and [Mt Mk ] pray [Mt ] yonder.
Mark 14:33 [Mt Mk ] And he took with [ Mk ] him [Mt Mk ] Peter and [Mt ] the two sons of Zebedee, [ Mk ] James and John, [Mt Mk ] and began to be [ Mk ] sore amazed, [Mt ] sorrowful, [Mt Mk ] and very heavy.
Mark 14:34 [ Mk ] And
Mat 26:38 [Mt ] then [Mt Mk Lk ] saith he unto them, [Mt Mk ] My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch [Mt ] with me.
[ Lk ] Pray that ye enter not into temptation.
Luk 22:41 [Mt Mk Lk ] And he [Mt Mk ] went forward a little, [ ] [and] [ Lk ] was withdrawn from them about a stone’s cast, and kneeled down, [Mt Mk ] and fell [Mt ] on his face [ Mk ] on the ground, [Mt Mk Lk ] and prayed [ Mk ] that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from him.
Mark 14:36 [ Mk ] And he
Luk 22:42 [Mt Mk Lk ] said, [ Mk ] Abba, [Mt ] my [Mt Mk Lk ] Father, [ Mk ] all things [are] possible unto thee;
[Mt Lk ] if [Mt ] it be possible [ ] [and] [ Lk ] thou be willing, [ Mk Lk ] take away [Mt Mk Lk ] this cup, [ ] [and] [Mt ] let [ ] [it] [Mt ] pass [Mt Mk Lk ] from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, [ Lk ] be done.
Luk 22:43 [ Lk ] And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him.
[ Lk ] And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground.
Luk 22:45 [Mt Mk Lk ] And he [ Lk ] rose up from prayer, and [Mt Mk Lk ] cometh [Mt Lk ] unto [ Lk ] his [Mt Lk ] disciples, [Mt Mk ] and [Mt Mk Lk ] findeth them sleeping [ Lk ] for sorrow, [Mt Mk ] and saith unto Peter, [ Mk ] Simon, sleepest thou?
[Mt ] What, [Mt Mk ] could [Mt ] ye [Mt Mk ] not watch [Mt ] with me [Mt Mk ] one hour?
Luk 22:46 [ Lk ] And [ ] [he] [ Lk ] said unto them, Why sleep ye? rise,
Mark 14:38 [Mt Mk ] watch [Mt Mk Lk ] and pray, that ye enter not into temptation:
[Mt Mk ] the spirit indeed [is] willing, but the flesh [is] weak.
Mark 14:39 [ Mk ] And
Mat 26:42 [Mt Mk ] he went away again [Mt ] the second time, [Mt Mk ] and prayed, [ Mk ] and spake the same words, [Mt ] saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done.
Mark 14:40 [Mt Mk ] And when he came [ Mk ] back, [Mt Mk ] he found them asleep again, (for their eyes were heavy,) [ Mk ] neither wist they what to answer him.
Mat 26:44 [Mt ] And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words.
Mark 14:41 [ Mk ] And
Mat 26:45 [Mt ] then [Mt Mk ] cometh he [Mt ] to his disciples [ Mk ] the third time, [Mt Mk ] and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take [your] rest:
[ Mk ] it is enough;
[Mt Mk ] behold, the hour is come [Mt ] nigh, and [Mt Mk ] the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
Mark 14:42 [Mt Mk ] Rise up, let us be going: behold, he that betrayeth me is at hand.
