Adding further
30 days of prayer for the Muslim World 24 April to 23 May 2020
Under the Keep Praying page
When the new moon is sighted it marks the beginning of t he new Islamic month
and Eid al-Fitr, the "Festival of Breaking the Fast", will start! After 30 days
of fasting, the Eid celebration at the end of Ramadan is a joyful time that
usually lasts about 3 days. Muslims will buy new clothes, exchange gifts and,
of course, enjoy special foods. In Muslim-majority nations, the streets may be
decorated and festivals will be held.
For many Muslims, Eid-al-Fitr begins with communal prayers at daybreak and the
distribution of money (zakat) to the poor, which is one of the 5 pillars of
Islam.
You can greet Muslim friends during this time by saying "Eid Mubarak",
which means Blessed Eid!"
Ramadan is over for this year, but you can continue to pray for Muslims you
know, and Muslims around the world:
- Despite the unsettling developments in our world today that involve actions
in the name of Islam, there is at the same time a largely untold story about
unprecedented movement to Christ among Muslims. There have been more such
movements of thousands or more new disciples among Muslims in the last three
decades or so than in all the previous history of Christian Muslim
relationships! Pray for this momentum to continue.
Acts 2:12-17 : 17 12 They were all amazed and perplexed, saying to each other,
"What does this mean?"
13 (1Co 14:23) Others mocking said, "These men are full of new wine."
Peter's Speech at Pentecost
14 (Ac 1:26) But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice
and said to them, "Men of Judea and all you who dwell in Jerusalem,
let this be known to you, and listen to my words.
15 For these are not drunk, as you suppose,
since it is the third hour of the day.
16 But this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:
17 (Isa 44:3; Ac 10:45) 'In the last days it shall be,' says God,
'that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh;
your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
your young men shall see visions,
and your old men shall dream dreams.'
- Pray for Christian workers an organisations focused on seeing effective
discipleship movements among Muslim people.
- Ask the Holy Spirit to continue to inspire you to have god's heart for
Muslims, to see them as He does, and to be the light that then to Jesus.
Matthew 5:14-15 : 14 "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a
hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do men light a candle and put it under
a basket, but on a candlestick. And it gives light to all who are in the
house."
Ideas for prayer
- Pray for opportunities to show the love of Christ to Muslims around you
- Pray for, and offer generous hospitality to, those you know who are serving
Christ among Muslim people -
Romans 12:13 "contribute to the needs of the saints, practice hospitality."
- When you gather with fellow believers, remember to pray for Muslims
throughout the year and encourage them to also participate in 30 Days!
My paternal side is of Muslim heritage and will offer this section to further
call for Muslim converts to Christian and any other converts to Christianity
(Hindus, Jews, aboriginals Canadian, atheists, secular humanists, ...)

Matthew 27:62-66
The Guard at the Tomb
62 (Mk 15:42; Jn 19:14) The next day, following the Day of Preparation,
the chief priests and Pharisees gathered before Pilate,
63 (Mt 16:21; 17:23) saying, "Sir, we remember that deceiver saying
while He was still alive, 'After three days I will rise.'
64 (Mt 28:13) Therefore command that the tomb be made secure
until the third day, lest His disciples come by night and steal Him away,
and tell the people, 'He has risen from the dead.'
The last deception will be worse than the first."
65 Pilate said to them, "You have a guard. Go your way.
Make it as secure as you can."
66 (Da 6:17) So they went and made the tomb secure
by sealing the stone and posting the guard.
[62] Now the next day, that followed the day of the preparation, the chief
priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate,
[63] Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet
alive, After three days I will rise again.
[64] Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the third day,
lest his disciples come by night, and steal him away, and say unto the
people, He is risen from the dead: so the last error shall be worse than the
first.
[65] Pilate said unto them, Ye have a watch: go your way, make it as sure as
ye can.
[66] So they went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, and
setting a watch.

Hearts Transformed by God by Tom Felten
Jeremiah 31:31-34
A New Covenant
31 (Lk 22:20; Jer 32:40 ) Surely, the days are coming, says the Lord,
when I will make a new covenant
with the house of Israel
and with the house of Judah.
32 (Dt 1:31; 5:3) It will not be according to the covenant
that I made with their fathers
in the day that I took them by the hand
to bring them out of the land of Egypt,
because they broke My covenant,
although I was a husband to them,
says the Lord.
33 (2Co 3:3; Heb 10:16) But this shall be the covenant
that I will make with the house of Israel
after those days, says the Lord:
I will put My law within them
and write it in their hearts;
and I will be their God,
and they shall be My people.
34 (Isa 54:13; Jer 33:8) They shall teach no more every man his neighbor
and every man his brother, saying, "Know the Lord,"
for they all shall know Me,
from the least of them to the greatest of them,
says the Lord,
for I will forgive their iniquity,
and I will remember their sin no more.
[31] Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant
with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:
[32] Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day
that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which
my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD:
[33] But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of
Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward
parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall
be my people.
[34] And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his
brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least
of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD; for I will forgive their
iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.
Like many people who struggle with pornography, Russell was exposed to it at a
young age. The desire to use it was overpowering, and it poisoned his heart.
"My life [became] completely saturated by it," he writes, "so much so that it
was like a cancer that was deeply rooted into my very fiber." By God's grace,
he was finally set free of porn's power - along with other addictions - when
he received salvation in Jesus and was transformed from the inside out.
"I credit it all to Jesus Christ, . . . [He's] the one who delivered me,"
Russell says.
Jeremiah delivered a message from God to Israel that one day He would
"put [His] law in their minds and write it on their hearts" (31:33).
Under this new covenant, fulfilled in Christ (Hebrews 8:6-13), all people
could be transformed by God’s grace through faith. And now, "his
Spirit . . . lives in [us]" (Romans 8:11), and God's moral law has been
written on our hearts. For Russell, and for all who believe, the Holy Spirit's
power provides what's needed to turn from harmful behaviour that displeases
God and seeks to destroy us.
Transformation isn't always instantaneous or easy. But let's remember that
when we're dealing with difficult - even addictive - sin, God can transform
our hearts (Jeremiah 31:33). He says, you "will know me" (v. 34 nlt),
and we can also know His heart-changing power.
Reflect & Pray
Why is it possible to turn from even chronic sin in God's power?
How can you live out your new heart with the Spirit's help?
Loving God, thank You for transforming my heart.

Week 8 Guided by Grace Day 1 A circle of Light
John 8:12
12 (Jn 12:35; Job 33:28; Isa 49:6)Again, Jesus spoke to them, saying,
"I am the light of the world. Whoever follows Me
shall not walk in the darkness, but shall have the light of life."
12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world:
he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness,
but shall have the light of life.
When Judy Garland stepped onstage, she filled the spotlight. Nothing was
illuminated but her face, and as she sang, her listeners had a sense of being
transported beyond themselves into the meaning of her song. The focus of
reality, at that moment, was "Judy", and everything else faded into the dim
recesses of the shadowed room. The spotlight brought her into sharp focus
as the center of attention, and all around her was darkness.
When the scriptures speaks of Jesus as "the light," the image is not
of thousands of blazing bulbs lighting up a football field for a night game.
Rather, he is like a hand-help lamp that throws a circle of light in the
immediate vicinity. such a lamp lights the path that a traveler will walk,
but lights it only one step at a time.
Jesus is the center of that circle of light. As we follow him, we share the
light, but he is always at center. Jesus Christ is the focal point,
and everything else fades into dim gray by comparison.
If we are to keep our lives illuminated, to have his light falling upon the
road we walk, we must stay close to him. Jesus does not hand the lamp
to us and suggest that we go the way he wants; he , the Light, leads,
and if we want to stay in the light, we follow.
Application
a) Have I ever tried to go my own way, apart from the Light?
What was the result?
b) How can this verse help me remember the importance of staying close
to Jesus?
4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland
Malachi 3:10-12
10 Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be food in
My house, and test Me now in this, says the Lord of Hosts, if I will not
open for you the windows of heaven and pour out for you a blessing,
that there will not be room enough to receive it.
11 I will rebuke the devourer
for your sakes, so that it will not destroy the fruit of your ground,
and the vines in your field will not fail to bear fruit,
says the Lord of Hosts.
12 Then all the nations will call you blessed, for you will be
a delightful land, says the Lord of Hosts.
10 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in
mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not
open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall
not be room enough to receive it.
11 And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy
the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit
before the time in the field, saith the LORD of hosts.
12 And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be
a delightsome land, saith the LORD of hosts.
5) From a Book called God's Promises for you:
When you are Worried Over Money
Matt 6:19-21
Treasures in Heaven
Lk 12:33-34
19 "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth where moth
and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal.
20 But store up
for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroy
and where thieves do not break in nor steal,
21 for where your treasure is,
there will your heart be also.
19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth
and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth
nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
21 for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
Remember God's promises when You pray
The Lord's prayer
Matthew 6:9-13
9 "Therefore pray in this manner:
Our Father who is in heaven,
hallowed be Your name.
10 (Mt 3:2; 4:17) Your kingdom come;
Your will be done
on earth, as it is in heaven.
11 (Pr 30:8; Isa 33:16) Give us this day our daily bread.
12 (Ex 34:7; Ps 32:1) And forgive us our debts,
as we forgive our debtors.
13 (1Co 10:13; Jn 17:15) And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen."
9 After this manner therefore pray ye:
Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
11 Give us this day our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil:
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
Luke 23:44-49
The Death of Jesus
Mt 27:45-56; Mk 15:33-41; Jn 19:28-30
44 (Am 8:9; Mt 27:45) It was now about the sixth hour,
and darkness came over all the land until the ninth hour,
45 (Ex 26:31-33; 2Ch 3:14) while the sun was darkened.
And the veil of the temple was torn in the middle.
46 (Jn 19:30; Ps 31:5; Ac 7:59) And Jesus cried out with a loud voice,
"Father, into Your hands I commit My spirit."
Having said this, He gave up the spirit.
47 (Mt 27:54; Mk 15:39) When the centurion saw what had happened, he glorified
God and said, :Certainly, this was a righteous Man."
48 (Lk 18:13) All the crowds who came together to that sight,
witnessing what occurred, struck their chests and returned.
49 (Lk 8:2; Ps 38:11; Mt 27:55-56) But all those who knew Him
and the women accompanying Him from Galilee stood at a distance,
seeing these things.
[44] And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the
earth until the ninth hour.
[45] And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the
midst.
[46] And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy
hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost.
[47] Now when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying,
Certainly this was a righteous man.
[48] And all the people that came together to that sight, beholding the
things which were done, smote their breasts, and returned.
[49] And all his acquaintance, and the women that followed him from Galilee,
stood afar off, beholding these things.
John 19:28-37
The Death of Jesus
Mt 27:45-56; Mk 15:33-41; Lk 23:44-49
28 (Ps 69:21; Jn 13:1) After this, Jesus, knowing that everything
was now accomplished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said,
"I thirst."
29 (Mt 27:48; Mk 15:36) A bowl full of sour wine was placed there.
So they put a sponge full of sour wine on hyssop and held it to His mouth.
30 (Lk 23:46; Jn 17:4) When Jesus had received the sour wine, He said,
"It is finished." And He bowed His head and gave up His spirit.
[28] After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that
the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst.
[29] Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a spunge
with vinegar, and put it upon hyssop, and put it to his mouth.
[30] When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished:
and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.
The Piercing of Jesus' Side
31 (Jn 19:14; 19:42; Jos 8:29) Since it was the Day of Preparation,
to prevent bodies from remaining on the cross on the Sabbath day
(for that Sabbath day was a high day), the Jews asked Pilate
that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.
32 (Jn 19:18) Therefore the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first
and of the other who was crucified with Him.
33 But when they came to Jesus and saw that He was dead already,
they did not break His legs.
34 (1Jn 5:6; 5:8) However, one of the soldiers pierced His side
with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out.
35 (Jn 21:24; 15:27) He who saw it has testified, and his testimony is true.
He knows that he is telling the truth, that you may believe.
36 (Ps 34:20; Ex 12:46; Nu 9:12) For these things happened so that
the Scripture should be fulfilled, "Not one of His bones shall be broken,"
(Ex 12:46; Nu 9:12; Ps 34:20.)
37 (Zec 12:10; Rev 1:7; Ps 22:16-17) and again another Scripture says,
"They shall look on Him whom they have pierced." (Zec 12:10.)
[31] The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies
should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that sabbath day
was an high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that
they might be taken away.
[32] Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first, and of the
other which was crucified with him.
[33] But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they
brake not his legs:
[34] But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith
came there out blood and water.
[35] And he that saw it bare record, and his record is true: and he knoweth
that he saith true, that ye might believe.
[36] For these things were done, that the scripture should be fulfilled, A
bone of him shall not be broken.
[37] And again another scripture saith, They shall look on him whom they
pierced.
Mark 15:42-47
The Burial of Jesus
Mt 27:57-61; Lk 23:50-56; Jn 19:38-42
42 When the evening had come, because it was the Day of Preparation,
that is, the day before the Sabbath,
43 (Lk 2:25; 2:38) Joseph of Arimathea, an honorable member of the Council,
who also waited for the kingdom of God, came and went in boldly to Pilate,
and requested the body of Jesus.
44 Pilate wondered if He were already dead. And calling for the centurion,
he asked him whether He had been dead for a while.
45 When he learned about it from the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph.
46 (Isa 22:16; 53:9) So he bought fine linen, and taking Him down,
wrapped Him in the linen and laid Him in a tomb which had been hewn
out of the rock. And he rolled a stone against the door of the tomb.
47 (Mk 15:40; 16:1) Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joseph saw
where He was laid.
[42] And now when the even was come, because it was the preparation, that
is, the day before the sabbath,
[43] Joseph of Arimathaea, and honourable counseller, which also waited for
the kingdom of God, came, and went in boldly unto Pilate, and craved the
body of Jesus.
[44] And Pilate marvelled if he were already dead: and calling unto him the
centurion, he asked him whether he had been any while dead.
[45] And when he knew it of the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph.
[46] And he bought fine linen, and took him down, and wrapped him in the
linen, and laid him in a sepulchre which was hewn out of a rock, and rolled
a stone unto the door of the sepulchre.
[47] And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses beheld where he was
laid.
Matthew 27:57-61
The Burial of Jesus
Mk 15:42-47; Lk 23:50-56; Jn 19:38-42
57 (Jn 19:38-42) When the evening came, there came a rich man of Arimathea,
named Joseph, who also was a disciple of Jesus.
58 He went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.
Then Pilate commanded the body to be given to him.
59 When Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,
60 (Mt 27:66; 28:2) and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had cut out of
the rock. And he rolled a large stone to the door of the tomb and departed.
61 (Mt 27:56; 28:1) Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were there,
sitting opposite the tomb.
[57] When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathaea, named
Joseph, who also himself was Jesus' disciple:
[58] He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded
the body to be delivered.
[59] And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen
cloth,
[60] And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock: and
he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre, and departed.
[61] And there was Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting over against
the sepulchre.
Luke 23:50-56
The Burial of Jesus
Mt 27:57-61; Mk 15:42-47; Jn 19:38-42
50 Now there was a man named Joseph, a member of the Council,
who was a good and just man.
51 (Lk 2:25; 2:38) He had not consented to their counsel and deed.
He was from Arimathea, a city of the Jews,
and he himself was also waiting for the kingdom of God.
52 This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.
53 (Isa 53:9) Then he took Him down, and wrapped Him in linen,
and placed Him in a hewn tomb, where no one had ever been buried.
54 (Mt 27:62; Jn 19:31) It was the Day of Preparation,
and the Sabbath was drawing near.
55 (Lk 23:49) The women who came with Him from Galilee followed,
and saw the tomb and how His body was placed.
56 (Mk 16:1; Lk 24:1) Then they returned and prepared spices
and ointments. On the Sabbath they rested according to the commandment.
[50] And, behold, there was a man named Joseph, a counseller; and he was a
good man, and a just:
[51] (The same had not consented to the counsel and deed of them;) he was of
Arimathaea, a city of the Jews: who also himself waited for the kingdom of
God.
[52] This man went unto Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus.
[53] And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a
sepulchre that was hewn in stone, wherein never man before was laid.
[54] And that day was the preparation, and the sabbath drew on.
[55] And the women also, which came with him from Galilee, followed after,
and beheld the sepulchre, and how his body was laid.
[56] And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the
sabbath day according to the commandment.
John 19:38-42
The Burial of Jesus
Mt 27:57-61; Mk 15:42-47; Lk 23:50-56
38 After this, Joseph of Arimathea, being a disciple of Jesus,
but secretly for fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might
take away the body of Jesus. Pilate gave him permission.
So he came and took away His body.
39 (SS 4:14) Nicodemus, who at first came to Jesus by night,
also came, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes,
weighing about seventy-five pounds.
(Gk. a hundred litrai or 34 kilograms.)
40 (Jn 11:44; Lk 24:12) Then they took the body of Jesus
and wrapped it in linen cloths with the spices,
as is the burial custom of the Jews.
41 (Lk 23:53; Mt 27:60) Now in the place where He was crucified there was
a garden, and in the garden was a new tomb in which no one had
ever been buried.
42 (Jn 19:14; 19:31)So because of the Jewish Day of Preparation,
and since the tomb was nearby, they buried Jesus there.
[38] And after this Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but
secretly for fear of the Jews, besought Pilate that he might take away the
body of Jesus: and Pilate gave him leave. He came therefore, and took the
body of Jesus.
[39] And there came also Nicodemus, which at the first came to Jesus by
night, and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about an hundred pound
weight.
[40] Then took they the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen clothes with
the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury.
[41] Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden; and in the
garden a new sepulchre, wherein was never man yet laid.
[42] There laid they Jesus therefore because of the Jews' preparation day;
for the sepulchre was nigh at hand.

The Soldiers Mock Jesus
Mt 27:27-31; Jn 19:2-3
16 (Jn 18:28; 19:9) The soldiers led Him away to Praetorium Hall,
and they called together the entire battalion.
17 (Lk 23:11) They clothed Him with a purple robe. And they wove a crown
of thorns and put it on His head,
18 and began to salute Him, "Hail, King of the Jews!"
19 (Mk 14:65) They struck His head with a staff and spit on Him.
And bowing their knees, they worshipped Him.
20 When they had mocked Him, they took the purple robe off of Him
and put His own garments on Him. Then they led Him out to crucify Him.
[16] And the soldiers led him away into the hall, called Praetorium; and
they call together the whole band.
[17] And they clothed him with purple, and platted a crown of thorns, and
put it about his head,
[18] And began to salute him, Hail, King of the Jews!
[19] And they smote him on the head with a reed, and did spit upon him, and
bowing their knees worshipped him.
[20] And when they had mocked him, they took off the purple from him, and
put his own clothes on him, and led him out to crucify him.
Matthew 27:27-31

Mk 15:16-20; Jn 19:2-3
27 (Jn 18:28; 18:33) Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into
the Praetorium, and gathered the whole detachment of soldiers before Him.
28 (Mk 15:17; Lk 23:11) They stripped Him and put a scarlet robe on Him,
29 (Isa 53:3; Mt 20:19) and when they wove a crown of thorns, they put it
on His head and put a staff in His right hand. They knelt before Him a
nd mocked Him, saying, "Hail, King of the Jews!"
30 (Mt 26:67; Mk 15:19) They spit on Him, and took the staff
and hit Him on the head.
31 (Isa 53:7) After they had mocked Him, they took the robe off Him,
put His own garments on Him, and led Him away to crucify Him.
[27] Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall, and
gathered unto him the whole band of soldiers.
[28] And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe.
[29] And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head,
and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked
him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!
[30] And they spit upon him, and took the reed, and smote him on the head.
[31] And after that they had mocked him, they took the robe off from him,
and put his own raiment on him, and led him away to crucify him.

21 (Mt 27:32; Lk 23:26; Ro 16:13) They compelled a man named Simon
from Cyrene, the father of Alexander and Rufus, as he was passing
through from the country, to bear Jesus' cross.
22 (Mt 27:33-44) They brought Him to the place called Golgotha,
which means, "Place of a Skull."
23 (Mt 27:34) They gave Him wine mingled with myrrh to drink,
but He did not take it.
24 When they had crucified Him, they divided His garments,
casting lots for them, to decide what each man should take.
[21] And they compel one Simon a Cyrenian, who passed by, coming out of the
country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to bear his cross.
[22] And they bring him unto the place Golgotha, which is, being
interpreted, The place of a skull.
[23] And they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh: but he received it
not.
[24] And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments, casting lots
upon them, what every man should take.

The Crucifixion
Mk 15:21-32; Lk 23:26-43; Jn 19:17-27
32 (Mk 15:21; Lk 23:26) As they came out, they found a man of Cyrene,
Simon by name. This man they compelled to bear His cross.
33 When they came to a place called Golgotha, which means

34 (Ps 69:21; Mt 27:48) they gave Him sour wine mingled with gall to drink.
But when He tasted it, He would not drink it.
[32] And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him
they compelled to bear his cross.
[33] And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, a

[34] They gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and when he had
tasted thereof, he would not drink.
Luke 23:26-31
The Crucifixion
Mt 27:32-44; Mk 15:21-32; Jn 19:17-27
26 As they led Him away, they seized Simon of Cyrene, who was coming
from the country, and they laid the cross on him to carry it behind Jesus.
27 (Lk 8:52) A large number of people followed Him, including women
who mourned and lamented Him.
28 Jesus turned to them, saying, "Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for Me,
but weep for yourselves and for your children.
29 (Mt 24:19; Hos 13:16) Listen, the days are coming when they will say,
'Blessed are the barren, who never bore and never nursed!'
30 (Isa 2:19; Hos 10:8) Then they will begin to say to the mountains,
'Fall on us,' and to the hills, 'Cover us.'
31 (Pr 11:31) For if men do these things when the tree is green,
what will happen when it is dry?"
[26] And as they led him away, they laid hold upon one Simon, a Cyrenian,
coming out of the country, and on him they laid the cross, that he might
bear it after Jesus.
[27] And there followed him a great company of people, and of women, which
also bewailed and lamented him.
[28] But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for
me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children.
[29] For, behold, the days are coming, in the which they shall say, Blessed
are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the paps which never gave
suck.
[30] Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the
hills, Cover us.
[31] For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the
dry?
John 19:17
17 (Lk 23:33; 14:27; 23:26) He went out, carrying His own cross,
to a place called The Place of a Skull, which in Hebrew is called Golgotha.
[17] And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of a
skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha:
Mark 15:25-32
25 (Mk 15:33; Jn 19:14) Now it was the third hour, and they crucified Him.
26 (Mt 27:37)The inscription of His accusation was written above:
THE KING OF THE JEWS.
27 With Him they crucified two thieves, one on His right
and the other on His left.
28 And the Scripture was fulfilled, which says, "He was numbered
with the lawless ones." (Isa 53:12.)
29 (Ps 109:25; Mk 14:58) Those who passed by blasphemed Him,
shaking their heads and saying, "Ah, You who would destroy the temple
and build it in three days,
30 save Yourself, and come down from the cross!"
31 Likewise the chief priests mocked Him among themselves
with the scribes and said, "He saved others, but He cannot save Himself!
32 (Lk 23:39-43; Mt 27:44) Let the Christ, the King of Israel,
descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe."
Those who were crucified with Him also reviled Him.
[25] And it was the third hour, and they crucified him.
[26] And the superscription of his accusation was written over, THE KING OF
THE JEWS.
[27] And with him they crucify two thieves; the one on his right hand, and
the other on his left.
[28] And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, And he was numbered with
the transgressors.
[29] And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads, and saying,
Ah, thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days,
[30] Save thyself, and come down from the cross.
[31] Likewise also the chief priests mocking said among themselves with the
scribes, He saved others; himself he cannot save.
[32] Let Christ the King of Israel descend now from the cross, that we may
see and believe. And they that were crucified with him reviled him.
Matthew 27:35-44
35 (Ps 22:18) When they crucified Him, they divided His garments
by casting lots to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet,
"They divided My garments among themselves
and for My clothing they cast lots."(Ps 22:18.)
36 (Mt 27:54) And sitting down, they kept watch over Him there.
37 (Mk 15:26; Lk 23:38) They put His accusation over His head, which read:
THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
38 (Isa 53:12) Then two thieves were crucified with Him, one on the right
and another on the left.
39 (Ps 109:25; La 1:12) Those who passed by insulted Him, wagging their heads,
40 (Mt 26:61; 4:3) saying, "You who would destroy the temple
and build it in three days, save Yourself! If You are the Son of God,
come down from the cross."
41 Likewise the chief priests, with the scribes and elders,
mocked Him, saying,
42 (Jn 1:49; Mt 27:37) "He saved others. He cannot save Himself.
If He is the King of Israel, let Him now come down from the cross,
and we will believe Him.
43 (Ps 22:8) He trusted in God. Let Him deliver Him now, if He will have Him.
For He said, 'I am the Son of God.' "
44 Even the thieves who were crucified with Him insulted Him in the same way.
[35] And they crucified him, and parted his garments, casting lots: that it
might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, They parted my garments
among them, and upon my vesture did they cast lots.
[36] And sitting down they watched him there;
[37] And set up over his head his accusation written, THIS IS JESUS THE KING
OF THE JEWS.
[38] Then were there two thieves crucified with him, one on the right hand,
and another on the left.
[39] And they that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads,
[40] And saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three
days, save thyself. If thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross.
[41] Likewise also the chief priests mocking him, with the scribes and
elders, said,
[42] He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel,
let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him.
[43] He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him: for he
said, I am the Son of God.
[44] The thieves also, which were crucified with him, cast the same in his
teeth.

Luke 23:32-43
32 (Mk 15:27; Mt 27:38; Jn 19:18) Two different men, who were criminals,
also were led with Him to be killed.
33 (Mt 27:33-34; Mk 15:22-23) When they came to the place which is called
The Skull, there they crucified Him and the criminals, one on the right
and one on the left.
34 (Ps 22:18; Mt 5:44; Mk 15:24) Jesus said, "Father, forgive them,
for they know not what they do." And they divided His clothes
by casting lots.
35 (Ps 22:17; Isa 42:1) The people stood by watching. But the rulers
with them scoffed, saying, "He saved others. Let Him save Himself
if He is the Christ, the Chosen One of God."
36 (Mt 27:48; Ps 69:21) And the soldiers also mocked Him,
coming to Him and offering Him sour wine,
37 saying, "If You are the King of the Jews, save Yourself."
38 (Mt 27:37; Mk 15:26) An inscription was written over Him in letters
of Greek and Latin and Hebrew:
THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
39 (Mt 27:44; Mk 15:32) One of the criminals who were hanged blasphemed Him,
saying, "If You are the Christ, save Yourself and us!"
40 But the other rebuked him, saying, "Do you not fear God,
seeing you are under the same sentence?
41 And we indeed, justly. For we are receiving the due reward of our deeds.
But this Man has done nothing amiss."
42 Then he said to Jesus, "Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom."
43 (Rev 2:7; Isa 53:11; 2Co 5:8) Jesus said to him,
"Truly, I tell you, today you will be with Me in Paradise."
[32] And there were also two other, malefactors, led with him to be put to
death.
[33] And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there
they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the
other on the left.
[34] Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.
And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.
[35] And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also with them derided
him, saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if he be Christ, the
chosen of God.
[36] And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, and offering him
vinegar,
[37] And saying, If thou be the king of the Jews, save thyself.
[38] And a superscription also was written over him in letters of Greek, and
Latin, and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
[39] And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If
thou be Christ, save thyself and us.
[40] But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God,
seeing thou art in the same condemnation?
[41] And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but
this man hath done nothing amiss.
[42] And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy
kingdom.
[43] And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be
with me in paradise.
John 19:18-27
18 There they crucified Him, and two others with Him, one on either side,
and Jesus in the middle.
19 (Mt 27:37; Mk 15:26) Pilate wrote a title and put it on the cross.
The writing was:
JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.
20 (Jn 19:13) Many of the Jews read this title, for the place where Jesus
was crucified was near the city. And it was written in Hebrew,
in Greek, and in Latin.
21 (Jn 19:14) The chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate,
"Do not write, 'The King of the Jews,' but 'He said, I am King of the Jews.' "
22 Pilate answered, "What I have written, I have written."
23 (Lk 23:34; Mt 27:35) When the soldiers had crucified Jesus,
they took His garments and divided them into four parts,
a part for each soldier; and also His tunic.
Now the tunic was seamless, woven from top to bottom.
24 (Ps 22:18; Jn 19:28) So they said to one another,
"Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it to decide whose it shall be."
This happened to fulfill the Scripture which says:
"They divided My garments among them,
and for My clothing they cast lots." (Ps 22:18.)
Therefore the soldiers did these things.
25 (Lk 23:49; Mt 27:55-56; Mk 15:40-41) But standing by the cross of Jesus
were His mother, and His mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas,
and Mary Magdalene.
26 (Jn 13:23; 2:4; 20:2) When Jesus saw His mother and the disciple
whom He loved standing nearby, He said to His mother,
"Woman, here is your son."
27 (Jn 16:32; 1:11) Then He said to the disciple, "Here is your mother."
From that time, this disciple took her to his own home.
[18] Where they crucified him, and two other with him, on either side one,
and Jesus in the midst.
[19] And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was,
JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS.
[20] This title then read many of the Jews: for the place where Jesus was
crucified was nigh to the city: and it was written in Hebrew, and Greek, and
Latin.
[21] Then said the chief priests of the Jews to Pilate, Write not, The King
of the Jews; but that he said, I am King of the Jews.
[22] Pilate answered, What I have written I have written.
[23] Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments,
and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also his coat: now the
coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout.
[24] They said therefore among themselves, Let us not rend it, but cast lots
for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled, which
saith, They parted my raiment among them, and for my vesture they did cast
lots. These things therefore the soldiers did.
[25] Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's
sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene.
[26] When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom
he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son!
[27] Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour
that disciple took her unto his own home.
Mark 15:33-41
The Death of Jesus
Mt 27:45-56; Lk 23:44-49; Jn 19:28-30
33 (Mt 27:45; Mk 15:25; Lk 23:44-45) When the sixth hour had come,
there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.
34 (Ps 22:1; Mt 27:46; Lk 23:46) And at the ninth hour Jesus cried out
with a loud voice, saying, "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?" which means,
"My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?"(Ps 22:1.)
35 Some of those who stood by, when they heard it, said,
"Listen, He is calling Elijah!"
36 (Ps 69:21; Mk 15:23) One man ran and filled a sponge with vinegar,
put it on a stick, and gave it to Him to drink, saying,
"Leave Him alone. Let us see if Elijah will come to take Him down."
37 (Jn 19:30; Mt 27:50) But Jesus cried with a loud voice
and gave up the spirit.
38 (Lk 23:45) And the curtain of the temple was torn
in two from top to bottom.
39 (Mt 27:54; 27:43) When the centurion
(Commander with the rank of captain over 100 soldiers.)
who stood facing Him saw that He cried out and gave up the spirit,
he said, "Truly, this Man was the Son of God."
40 (Ps 38:11; Mt 27:55-56) There were also women looking on from
a distance, among whom were Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother
of James the Less and of Joseph, and Salome.
41 (Lk 8:2-3) They also had followed Him and had ministered
to Him when He was in Galilee. And many other women who came up
with Him to Jerusalem were there.
[33] And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole
land until the ninth hour.
[34] And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi,
Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why
hast thou forsaken me?
[35] And some of them that stood by, when they heard it, said, Behold, he
calleth Elias.
[36] And one ran and filled a spunge full of vinegar, and put it on a reed,
and gave him to drink, saying, Let alone; let us see whether Elias will come
to take him down.
[37] And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost.
[38] And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the
bottom.
[39] And when the centurion, which stood over against him, saw that he so
cried out, and gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this man was the Son of
God.
[40] There were also women looking on afar off: among whom was Mary
Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the
less and of Joses, and Salome;
[41] (Who also, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and ministered unto
him;) and many other women which came up with him unto Jerusalem.
Matthew 27:45-56
The Death of Jesus
Mk 15:33-41; Lk 23:44-49; Jn 19:28-30
45 (Am 8:9; Mk 15:33-34) Now from the sixth hour until the ninth hour
there was darkness over all the land.
46 (Ps 22:1; Lk 23:46; Heb 5:7) About the ninth hour Jesus cried out
with a loud voice, "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?" which means,
"My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?"(Ps 22:1.)
47 Some of those who stood there heard it and said,
"This Man is calling for Elijah."
48 (Ps 69:21; Mt 27:34) Immediately one of them ran, took a sponge,
filled it with wine, and put it on a stick, and gave it to Him to drink.
49 The rest said, "Leave Him alone.
Let us see if Elijah will come to save Him."
50 (Jn 19:30; Mk 15:37) And Jesus, when He had cried out again
with a loud voice, released His spirit.
51 (Mk 15:38; Ex 26:31-37) At that moment the curtain of the temple
was torn in two, from the top to the bottom. And the ground shook,
and the rocks split apart.
52 (1Co 15:20; 1Th 4:14) The graves also were opened, and many bodies
of the saints who had died were raised,
53 (Mt 4:5) and coming out of the graves after His resurrection,
they went into the Holy City and appeared to many.
54 (Mt 27:36; 27:43) When the centurion and those with him,
keeping watch over Jesus, saw the earthquake and what took place,
they feared greatly and said, "Truly He was the Son of God!"
55 (Lk 8:2-3) Many women who were there watching from afar followed
Jesus from Galilee, serving Him,
56 (Jn 19:25; Mt 28:1) among whom was Mary Magdalene,
and Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of Zebedee's sons.
[45] Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the
ninth hour.
[46] And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli,
Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou
forsaken me?
[47] Some of them that stood there, when they heard that, said, This man
calleth for Elias.
[48] And straightway one of them ran, and took a spunge, and filled it with
vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink.
[49] The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elias will come to save him.
[50] Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.
[51] And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to
the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;
[52] And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept
arose,
[53] And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the
holy city, and appeared unto many.
[54] Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus,
saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly,
saying, Truly this was the Son of God.
[55] And many women were there beholding afar off, which followed Jesus from
Galilee, ministering unto him:
[56] Among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses,
and the mother of Zebedee's children.

Mark 15:6-15
Jesus Sentenced to Die
Mt 27:15-26; Lk 23:13-25; Jn 18:39-19:16
6 (Jn 18:39-40) Now at the feast he always released to them one prisoner,
whomever they requested.
7 There was one named Barabbas, who had committed murder
in the insurrection and was bound with the rebels.
8 The crowd began crying aloud, asking Pilate to do as he had always
done for them.
9 He answered them, "Do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?"
10 For he knew that the chief priests had handed Him over out of envy.
11 (Ac 3:14) But the chief priests stirred the people,
so that he should instead release Barabbas to them.
12 Pilate answered them again, "What then would you have me do to Him
whom you call the King of the Jews?"
13 They again cried out, "Crucify Him!"
14 (Lk 23:41) Pilate said to them, "Why, what evil has He done?"
But they cried out even more, "Crucify Him!"
15 (Mt 27:26; Jn 19:1) So Pilate, resolving to satisfy the people,
released Barabbas to them. And when he had scourged Jesus,
he handed Him over to be crucified.
[6] Now at that feast he released unto them one prisoner, whomsoever they
desired.
[7] And there was one named Barabbas, which lay bound with them that had
made insurrection with him, who had committed murder in the insurrection.
[8] And the multitude crying aloud began to desire him to do as he had ever
done unto them.
[9] But Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto you the
King of the Jews?
[10] For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy.
[11] But the chief priests moved the people, that he should rather release
Barabbas unto them.
[12] And Pilate answered and said again unto them, What will ye then that I
shall do unto him whom ye call the King of the Jews?
[13] And they cried out again, Crucify him.
[14] Then Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath he done? And they cried
out the more exceedingly, Crucify him.
[15] And so Pilate, willing to content the people, released Barabbas unto
them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified.
Matthew 27:15-26
Jesus Sentenced to Die
Mk 15:6-15; Lk 23:13-25; Jn 18:39-19:16
15 Now at the feast, the governor was accustomed to releasing
to the people a prisoner whom they chose.
16 They had then a notorious prisoner called Barabbas.
17 So when they had gathered together, Pilate said to them,
"Whom do you want me to release to you—Barabbas,
or Jesus who is called Christ?"
18 (Pr 27:4) For he knew that they had handed Him over out of envy.
19 (Mt 27:24; Lk 23:47) When he was sitting on the judgment seat,
his wife sent word to him, "Have nothing to do with that righteous Man,
for I have suffered much today in a dream on account of Him."
20 But the chief priests and elders persuaded the crowd to ask for Barabbas
and kill Jesus.
21 The governor answered, "Which of the two do you want me to release to you?"
They said, "Barabbas."
22 Pilate said to them, "Then what shall I do with Jesus
who is called Christ?"
They all said to him, "Let Him be crucified!"
23 The governor said, "Why, what evil has He done?"
But they cried out all the more, "Let Him be crucified!"
24 (Mt 27:4; Ps 26:6) When Pilate saw that he could not prevail,
but rather that unrest was beginning, he took water
and washed his hands before the crowd, saying,
"I am innocent of the blood of this righteous Man. See to it yourselves."
25 (Jos 2:19; Ac 5:28) Then all the people answered, "His blood be on us
and on our children!"
26 (Jn 19:1; Isa 53:5) Then he released Barabbas to them.
But when he had scourged Jesus, he handed Him over to be crucified.
[15] Now at that feast the governor was wont to release unto the people a
prisoner, whom they would.
[16] And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.
[17] Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, Whom
will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus which is called Christ?
[18] For he knew that for envy they had delivered him.
[19] When he was set down on the judgment seat, his wife sent unto him,
saying, Have thou nothing to do with that just man: for I have suffered many
things this day in a dream because of him.
[20] But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they
should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.
[21] The governor answered and said unto them, Whether of the twain will ye
that I release unto you? They said, Barabbas.
[22] Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called
Christ? They all say unto him, Let him be crucified.
[23] And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out
the more, saying, Let him be crucified.
[24] When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult
was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying,
I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye to it.
[25] Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our
children.
[26] Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had scourged Jesus, he
delivered him to be crucified.
Luke 23:13-25
Jesus Sentenced to Die
Mt 27:15-26; Mk 15:6-15; Jn 18:39-19:16
13 Pilate called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people,
14 and said to them, "You have brought this Man to me as one who incites
the people. And truly, I, having examined Him before you, have found
no fault in this Man concerning those things of which you accuse Him.
15 No, neither has Herod, for he sent him back to us. Look, nothing worthy
of death has been done by Him.
16 (Mt 27:26; Mk 15:15) I will therefore chastise Him and release Him."
17 For he was obligated to release one man to them at the feast.
18 (Ac 3:14; 21:36) But they all cried out at once saying,
"Take this Man away and release Barabbas to us!"
19 (Ac 3:14) This man had been thrown in prison for an insurrection
in the city and for murder.
20 Therefore Pilate spoke to them again, desiring to release Jesus.
21 But they cried out, "Crucify Him! Crucify Him!"
22 (Lk 23:14; 23:16) He said to them a third time, "Why, what evil has
He done? I have found in Him no cause worthy of death.
I will therefore chastise Him and release Him."
23 But they insisted with loud voices, asking that He be crucified.
And the voices of these men and of the chief priests prevailed.
24 (Ex 23:2) So Pilate gave the sentence as they demanded.
25 He released to them the man who was thrown in prison for insurrection
and murder, whom they asked for. But he sentenced Jesus according
to their will.
[13] And Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests and the
rulers and the people,
[14] Said unto them, Ye have brought this man unto me, as one that
perverteth the people: and, behold, I, having examined him before you, have
found no fault in this man touching those things whereof ye accuse him:
[15] No, nor yet Herod: for I sent you to him; and, lo, nothing worthy of
death is done unto him.
[16] I will therefore chastise him, and release him.
[17] (For of necessity he must release one unto them at the feast.)
[18] And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this man, and release
unto us Barabbas:
[19] (Who for a certain sedition made in the city, and for murder, was cast
into prison.)
[20] Pilate therefore, willing to release Jesus, spake again to them.
[21] But they cried, saying, Crucify him, crucify him.
[22] And he said unto them the third time, Why, what evil hath he done? I
have found no cause of death in him: I will therefore chastise him, and let
him go.
[23] And they were instant with loud voices, requiring that he might be
crucified. And the voices of them and of the chief priests prevailed.
[24] And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they required.
[25] And he released unto them him that for sedition and murder was cast
into prison, whom they had desired; but he delivered Jesus to their will.
John 19:1-16
John 19
1 (Isa 50:6; 53:5) Then Pilate took Jesus and flogged Him.
2 The soldiers twisted a crown of thorns and put it on His head,
and they put a purple robe on Him.
3 (Mt 27:29) They said, "Hail, King of the Jews!" And they hit Him
with their hands.
4 (Jn 18:38; 19:6) Again Pilate went out and said to them,
"Look, I am bringing Him out to you, that you may know that
I find no guilt in Him."
5 (Jn 19:2) Then Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns
and the purple robe. Pilate said to them, "Here is the Man!"
6 (Jn 18:31; 19:4) When the chief priests and officers saw Him,
they cried out, "Crucify Him! Crucify Him!"
Pilate said to them, "Take Him yourselves and crucify Him,
for I find no guilt in Him."
7 (Jn 5:18; Lev 24:16; Mt 26:63-66) The Jews answered him,
"We have a law, and by our law He ought to die,
because He made Himself the Son of God!"
8 When Pilate heard these words, he was more afraid,
9 (Jn 18:33) and entered the Praetorium again, and said to Jesus,
"Where are You from?" But Jesus gave him no answer.
10 Pilate said to Him, "Are You not speaking to me?
Do You not know that I have power to release You, and power to crucify You?"
11 (Ro 13:1; Mt 27:2) Jesus answered, "You would have no power at all over Me,
unless it were given to you from above.
Therefore he who handed Me over to you has the greater sin."
12 (Jn 18:33-36) From then on, Pilate tried to release Him.
But the Jews cried out, "If you release this Man, you are not Caesar's friend.
Whoever makes himself a king speaks against Caesar!"
13 (Mt 27:19) When Pilate heard these words, he brought Jesus out
and sat down on the judgment seat at a place called The Pavement
(which in Hebrew is Gabbatha).
14 (Mt 27:62; Mk 15:25) It was the Day of Preparation of the Passover
and about the sixth hour.
He said to the Jews, "Here is your King!"
15 (Lk 23:18; Ac 21:36) But they shouted,
"Away with Him! Away with Him! Crucify Him!"
Pilate said to them, "Shall I crucify your King?"
The chief priests answered, "We have no king but Caesar!"
16 Then he handed Him over to them to be crucified.
[1] Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged him.
[2] And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and
they put on him a purple robe,
[3] And said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they smote him with their hands.
[4] Pilate therefore went forth again, and saith unto them, Behold, I bring
him forth to you, that ye may know that I find no fault in him.
[5] Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe.
And Pilate saith unto them, Behold the man!
[6] When the chief priests therefore and officers saw him, they cried out,
saying, Crucify him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Take ye him, and
crucify him: for I find no fault in him.
[7] The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought to die,
because he made himself the Son of God.
[8] When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he was the more afraid;
[9] And went again into the judgment hall, and saith unto Jesus, Whence art
thou? But Jesus gave him no answer.
[10] Then saith Pilate unto him, Speakest thou not unto me? knowest thou not
that I have power to crucify thee, and have power to release thee?
[11] Jesus answered, Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except
it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath
the greater sin.
[12] And from thenceforth Pilate sought to release him: but the Jews cried
out, saying, If thou let this man go, thou art not Caesar's friend:
whosoever maketh himself a king speaketh against Caesar.
[13] When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he brought Jesus forth, and
sat down in the judgment seat in a place that is called the Pavement, but in
the Hebrew, Gabbatha.
[14] And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour:
and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King!
[15] But they cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him. Pilate
saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priest answered, We
have no king but Caesar.
[16] Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified. And they
took Jesus, and led him away.

Matthew 27:3-10
The Death of Judas
Ac 1:18-19
3 When Judas, who had betrayed Him, saw that He was condemned,
he repented and brought back the thirty pieces of silver
to the chief priests and elders,
4 saying, "I have sinned in that I have betrayed innocent blood."
They said, "What is that to us? You must see to that."
5 (2Sa 17:23; Job 2:9) So he threw down the pieces of silver in the temple
and departed. And he went and hanged himself.
6 The chief priests took the silver pieces and said, "It is not lawful
to put them into the treasury, because this is the price of blood."
7 So they took counsel, and bought with them the potter's field
to bury strangers in.
8 (Ac 1:19; Mt 28:15) Therefore that field has been called the Field of Blood
to this day.
9 (Zec 11:12-13) Then what was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled:
"They took the thirty pieces of silver, the value of that the sons of Israel
set on Him,
10 and gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord appointed me."
[3] Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned,
repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief
priests and elders,
[4] Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood. And
they said, What is that to us? see thou to that.
[5] And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and
went and hanged himself.
[6] And the chief priests took the silver pieces, and said, It is not lawful
for to put them into the treasury, because it is the price of blood.
[7] And they took counsel, and bought with them the potter's field, to bury
strangers in.
[8] Wherefore that field was called, The field of blood, unto this day.
[9] Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying,
And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was valued,
whom they of the children of Israel did value;
[10] And gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord appointed me.
Mark 15:2-5
2 (Mt 2:2; 1Ti 6:13) Pilate asked Him, "Are You the King of the Jews?"
He answered him, "You have said so."
3 (Isa 53:7) The chief priests accused Him of many things,
but He answered nothing.
4 (Jn 19:10) So Pilate asked Him again, "Do You answer nothing?
See how many things they testify against You."
5 But Jesus still answered nothing, so that Pilate was astonished.
[2] And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answering
said unto him, Thou sayest it.
[3] And the chief priests accused him of many things: but he answered
nothing.
[4] And Pilate asked him again, saying, Answerest thou nothing? behold how
many things they witness against thee.
[5] But Jesus yet answered nothing; so that Pilate marvelled.
Matthew 27:11-14
Jesus Questioned by Pilate
Mk 15:2-5; Lk 23:3-5; Jn 18:33-38
11 (Mt 2:2; 26:25) Jesus stood before the governor. And the governor
asked Him, "Are You the King of the Jews?"
Jesus said to him, "You have said so."
12 (Mt 26:63) When He was accused by the chief priests and elders,
He gave no answer.
13 (Mt 26:62) Then Pilate said to Him, "Do You not hear how many things
they testify against You?”
14 But He never answered him a word, so that the governor was greatly amazed.
[11] And Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked him,
saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And Jesus said unto him, Thou sayest.
[12] And when he was accused of the chief priests and elders, he answered
nothing.
[13] Then said Pilate unto him, Hearest thou not how many things they
witness against thee?
[14] And he answered him to never a word; insomuch that the governor
marvelled greatly.
Luke 23:1-12
Jesus Brought Before Pilate
Mt 27:1-2, 11-14; Mk 15:1-5; Jn 18:28-38
1 Then the whole assembly rose and led Him to Pilate.
2 (Jn 19:12; Mk 15:3-5) And they began to accuse Him, saying, "We found this
Man perverting our nation, and forbidding us to pay taxes to Caesar,
and saying that He Himself is Christ a King."
3 (1Ti 6:13; Mt 27:1) 1So Pilate asked Him, "Are You the King of the Jews?"
He answered, "You truly say so."
4 (Jn 18:38; Mk 15:14) Then Pilate said to the chief priests
and to the people, "I find no fault in this Man."
5 (Mk 1:14; Mt 4:23) But they insisted, saying, "He stirs up the people,
teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee to here."
[1] And the whole multitude of them arose, and led him unto Pilate.
[2] And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this fellow perverting
the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying that he himself
is Christ a King.
[3] And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he
answered him and said, Thou sayest it.
[4] Then said Pilate to the chief priests and to the people, I find no fault
in this man.
[5] And they were the more fierce, saying, He stirreth up the people,
teaching throughout all Jewry, beginning from Galilee to this place.
Jesus Before Herod
6 When Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked whether the Man was a Galilean.
7 (Lk 3:1; 13:31) When he learned that He belonged to Herod's jurisdiction,
he sent Him to Herod, who was also in Jerusalem at that time.
8 (Mt 14:1; Mk 6:14) When Herod saw Jesus, he greatly rejoiced,
for he had desired to see Him for a long time, because he had heard
many things of Him, and he was hoping to see some miracle performed by Him.
9 (Mt 27:14) He questioned Him with many words, but He gave no answer.
10 The chief priests and the scribes stood by, vehemently accusing Him.
11 (Mk 9:12) Then Herod with his soldiers despised Him, and mocked Him,
and dressed Him in a fine robe, and sent Him back to Pilate.
12 (Ac 4:27) On the same day Pilate and Herod became friends with each other,
having previously been at enmity with each other.
[6] When Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked whether the man were a Galilaean.
[7] And as soon as he knew that he belonged unto Herod's jurisdiction, he
sent him to Herod, who himself also was at Jerusalem at that time.
[8] And when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad: for he was desirous to
see him of a long season, because he had heard many things of him; and he
hoped to have seen some miracle done by him.
[9] Then he questioned with him in many words; but he answered him nothing.
[10] And the chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently accused him.
[11] And Herod with his men of war set him at nought, and mocked him, and
arrayed him in a gorgeous robe, and sent him again to Pilate.
[12] And the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends together: for
before they were at enmity between themselves.
John 18:28-40
Jesus Before Pilate
Mt 27:1-2, 11-14; Mk 15:1-5; Lk 23:1-5
28 (Jn 18:33; 19:9; Mt 27:27) Then they led Jesus from Caiaphas
to the Praetorium. It was early. Yet they themselves did not enter
the Praetorium, so that they might not be defiled,
but might eat the Passover.
29 Pilate then went out to them and said,
"What accusation do you bring against this Man?"
30 They answered him, "If He were not an evildoer,
we would not have handed Him over to you."
31 Then Pilate said, "Take Him and judge Him according to your law."
The Jews said to him, "It is not lawful for us to put anyone to death,"
32 (Mt 20:19; 26:2) that the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled
which He spoke, signifying what death He would die.
33 (Jn 19:9) Again Pilate entered the Praetorium, called Jesus,
and said to Him, "Are You the King of the Jews?"
34 Jesus answered him, "Are you speaking of your own accord,
or did others tell you about Me?"
35 Pilate answered, "Am I a Jew? Your own nation
and the chief priests handed You over to me. What have You done?"
36 (Jn 6:15; Da 2:44) Jesus answered, "My kingdom is not of this world.
If My kingdom were of this world, then My servants would fight,
that I would not be handed over to the Jews.
But now My kingdom is not from here."
37 (Jn 8:47; 1Jn 4:6) Therefore Pilate said to Him, "Then are You a king?"
Jesus answered, "You say correctly that I am a king. For this reason
I was born, and for this reason I came into the world, to bear witness
to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice."
38(Jn 19:4; Lk 23:4; Jn 19:6) Pilate said to Him, "What is truth?"
When he had said this, he went out again to the Jews and said to them,
"I find no guilt in Him at all.
[28] Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas unto the hall of judgment: and it was
early; and they themselves went not into the judgment hall, lest they should
be defiled; but that they might eat the passover.
[29] Pilate then went out unto them, and said, What accusation bring ye
against this man?
[30] They answered and said unto him, If he were not a malefactor, we would
not have delivered him up unto thee.
[31] Then said Pilate unto them, Take ye him, and judge him according to
your law. The Jews therefore said unto him, It is not lawful for us to put
any man to death:
[32] That the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spake, signifying
what death he should die.
[33] Then Pilate entered into the judgment hall again, and called Jesus, and
said unto him, Art thou the King of the Jews?
[34] Jesus answered him, Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or did others
tell it thee of me?
[35] Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thine own nation and the chief priests
have delivered thee unto me: what hast thou done?
[36] Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of
this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to
the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.
[37] Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered,
Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause
came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one
that is of the truth heareth my voice.
[38] Pilate saith unto him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he
went out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them, I find in him no fault at
all.
Jesus Sentenced to Die
Mt 27:15-31; Mk 15:6-20; Lk 23:13-25
39 (Mt 27:15-18) "But you have a custom, that I should release someone
to you at the Passover. Do you therefore want me to release to you
the King of the Jews?"
40 They all shouted again, "Not this Man, but Barabbas!"
Now Barabbas was a robber.
[39] But ye have a custom, that I should release unto you one at the
passover: will ye therefore that I release unto you the King of the Jews?
[40] Then cried they all again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now
Barabbas was a robber.

Mark 14:66-72
Peter's Denial of Jesus
Mt 26:69-75; Lk 22:56-62; Jn 18:15-18, 25-27
66 (Mk 14:54) While Peter was below in the courtyard,
one of the servant girls of the high priest came.
67 (Mk 14:54) When she saw Peter warming himself, she looked at him and said,
"You also were with Jesus of Nazareth."
68 But he denied it, saying, "I neither know nor understand
what you are saying." Then he went out to the porch, and a rooster crowed.
69 The servant girl saw him again and began to say to those who stood by,
"This man is one of them."
70 (Ac 2:7) But again, he denied it.
A little while later, those who stood by said again to Peter,
"Surely, you are one of them.
For you are a Galilean, and your speech confirms it."
71 Peter began to invoke a curse on himself, and to swear,
"I do not know this Man of whom you speak."
72 (Mk 14:30; 14:68) And the rooster crowed a second time. And Peter called
to mind the word that Jesus said to him,
"Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times."
And when he thought on this, he wept.
[66] And as Peter was beneath in the palace, there cometh one of the maids
of the high priest:
[67] And when she saw Peter warming himself, she looked upon him, and said,
And thou also wast with Jesus of Nazareth.
[68] But he denied, saying, I know not, neither understand I what thou
sayest. And he went out into the porch; and the cock crew.
[69] And a maid saw him again, and began to say to them that stood by, This
is one of them.
[70] And he denied it again. And a little after, they that stood by said
again to Peter, Surely thou art one of them: for thou art a Galilaean, and
thy speech agreeth thereto.
[71] But he began to curse and to swear, saying, I know not this man of whom
ye speak.
[72] And the second time the cock crew. And Peter called to mind the word
that Jesus said unto him, Before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me
thrice. And when he thought thereon, he wept.
Matthew 26:69-75
Peter's Denial of Jesus
Mk 14:66-72; Lk 22:56-62; Jn 18:15-18, 25-27
69 (Mt 26:71) Now Peter sat outside in the courtyard.
And a girl came to him, saying, "You also were with Jesus of Galilee."
70 But he denied it before them all, saying,
"I do not know what you are saying."
71 Then when he went out onto the porch, another girl saw him
and said to those who were there, "This man was also with Jesus of Nazareth."
72 Again he denied with an oath, "I do not know the Man."
73 (Jdg 12:6) After a while those who stood by came to Peter and said,
"Surely you also are one of them, for your accent betrays you."
74 Then he began to invoke a curse on himself and he swore,
"I do not know the Man."
Then immediately a rooster crowed.
75 (Mt 26:34; Jn 13:38) Then Peter remembered the word Jesus had spoken,
"Before a rooster crows, you will deny Me three times."
Then he went out and wept bitterly.
[69] Now Peter sat without in the palace: and a damsel came unto him,
saying, Thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee.
[70] But he denied before them all, saying, I know not what thou sayest.
[71] And when he was gone out into the porch, another maid saw him, and said
unto them that were there, This fellow was also with Jesus of Nazareth.
[72] And again he denied with an oath, I do not know the man.
[73] And after a while came unto him they that stood by, and said to Peter,
Surely thou also art one of them; for thy speech bewrayeth thee.
[74] Then began he to curse and to swear, saying, I know not the man. And
immediately the cock crew.
[75] And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, which said unto him, Before the
cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And he went out, and wept bitterly.
Luke 22:54-65
Peter's Denial of Jesus
Mt 26:57-58, 69-75; Mk 14:53-54, 66-72; Jn18:12-18, 25-27
54 (Mt 26:57-58; Mk 14:53-54) Then they arrested Him, and led Him away,
and brought Him into the high priest's house. Peter followed at a distance.
55 But when they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard
and sat down together, Peter sat among them.
56 Then a servant girl saw him as he sat near the fire,
and gazed at him, and said, "This man was with Him."
57 But he denied Him, saying, "Woman, I do not know Him."
58 A little later someone else saw him and said, "You also are one of them."
Peter said, "Man, I am not!"
59 About an hour later another man firmly declared,
"Certainly, this man also was with Him, for he is a Galilean."
60 Peter said, "Man, I do not know what you are saying."
Immediately, while he was yet speaking, the rooster crowed.
61 (Lk 22:34) The Lord turned and looked at Peter.
Then Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how He had told him,
"Before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times."
62And Peter went outside and wept bitterly.
[54] Then took they him, and led him, and brought him into the high priest's
house. And Peter followed afar off.
[55] And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the hall, and were set
down together, Peter sat down among them.
[56] But a certain maid beheld him as he sat by the fire, and earnestly
looked upon him, and said, This man was also with him.
[57] And he denied him, saying, Woman, I know him not.
[58] And after a little while another saw him, and said, Thou art also of
them. And Peter said, Man, I am not.
[59] And about the space of one hour after another confidently affirmed,
saying, Of a truth this fellow also was with him: for he is a Galilaean.
[60] And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately,
while he yet spake, the cock crew.
[61] And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the
word of the Lord, how he had said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt
deny me thrice.
[62] And Peter went out, and wept bitterly.
The Mocking and Whipping of Jesus
Mt 26:67-68; Mk 14:65
63 (Jn 18:22) The men who guarded Jesus mocked Him and whipped Him.
64 When they had blindfolded Him, they struck Him on the face and asked Him,
"Prophesy! Who struck You?"
65 And many other things they blasphemously spoke against Him.
[66] And as soon as it was day, the elders of the people and the chief
priests and the scribes came together, and led him into their council,
saying,
[67] Art thou the Christ? tell us. And he said unto them, If I tell you, ye
will not believe:
[68] And if I also ask you, ye will not answer me, nor let me go.
[69] Hereafter shall the Son of man sit on the right hand of the power of
God.
[70] Then said they all, Art thou then the Son of God? And he said unto
them, Ye say that I am.
[71] And they said, What need we any further witness? for we ourselves have
heard of his own mouth.
John 18:25-27
Peter Denies Jesus Again

25 Meanwhile Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. So they said to
him, "Are you not also one of His disciples?"
He denied it and said, "I am not!"
26 (Jn 18:1; 18:10) One of the servants of the high priest, being a relative
of the man whose ear Peter cut off, said,
"Did I not see you in the garden with Him?"
27 (Jn 13:38) Peter then denied it again, and immediately a rooster crowed.
[25] And Simon Peter stood and warmed himself. They said therefore unto him,
Art not thou also one of his disciples? He denied it, and said, I am not.
[26] One of the servants of the high priest, being his kinsman whose ear
Peter cut off, saith, Did not I see thee in the garden with him?
[27] Peter then denied again: and immediately the cock crew.

and handed Him over to Pontius Pilate the governor.
[1] When the morning was come, all the chief priests and elders of the
people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death:
[2] And when they had bound him, they led him away, and delivered him to
Pontius Pilate the governor.
Luke 22:66-71
Jesus Before the Council
Mt 26:59-66; Mk 14:55-64; Jn 18:19-24
66 (Mt 27:1; Mk 15:1) When day came, the assembly of the elders
of the people, both the chief priests and scribes, came together
and led Him away to their council, saying,
67 "Are You the Christ? Tell us!"
He said to them, "If I tell you, you will not believe.
68 (Lk 20:3-7) And if I also question you, you will not answer Me
or release Me.
69 (Mk 16:19; Ps 110:1) From now on the Son of Man will be seated
at the right hand of the power of God."
70 (Lk 23:3; Mt 26:64) They all said, "Are You then the Son of God?"
He said to them, "You truly say that I am."
71 Then they said, "What further testimony do we need?
We have heard it from His own mouth."
[66] And as soon as it was day, the elders of the people and the chief
priests and the scribes came together, and led him into their council,
saying,
[67] Art thou the Christ? tell us. And he said unto them, If I tell you, ye
will not believe:
[68] And if I also ask you, ye will not answer me, nor let me go.
[69] Hereafter shall the Son of man sit on the right hand of the power of
God.
[70] Then said they all, Art thou then the Son of God? And he said unto
them, Ye say that I am.
[71] And they said, What need we any further witness? for we ourselves have
heard of his own mouth.

The Just Father
1 Peter 1:17a,b
17 (Mt 6:9; 2Co 7:1) And if you address as Father the One who impartially
judges according to each one's work,
[17] And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth
according to every man's work,
Job 34:11
11 He will repay a man for his work,
and cause every man to find what is according to his ways.
11 For the work of a man shall he render unto him,
And cause every man to find according to his ways.
Jeremiah 17:10
10 (Jer 32:19; 1Sa 16:7; Ps 62:12) I, the Lord, search the heart,
I test the mind,
even to give to every man according to his ways,
and according to the fruit of his deeds.
[10] I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man
according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.

We have been Ransomed
1 Peter 1:18-20
18 (1Co 6:20) For you know that you were not redeemed from your vain way
of life inherited from your fathers with perishable things, like silver
or gold,
19 (Jn 1:29; Ex 12:5) but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb
without blemish and without spot.
20 (Eph 1:4; Col 1:26) He was foreordained before the creation of the world,
but was revealed in these last times for you.
[18] Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things,
as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from
your fathers;

manifest in these last times for you,

Jesus Before the Sanhedrin
Mt 26:57-68; Lk 22:54-55, 63-71; Jn 18:13-14, 19-24
53 (Mt 26:57-68) They led Jesus away to the high priest. And all
the chief priests and the elders and the scribes were assembled with him.
54 (Jn 18:18; Mt 26:3) Peter followed Him at a distance into the courtyard
of the high priest. He sat with the guards and warmed himself by the fire.
55 Now the chief priests and the entire Sanhedrin requested testimony
against Jesus to put Him to death, but found none.
56 Many bore false witness against Him, but their testimonies did not agree.
57 (Mt 26:60-61) Then some rose up and bore false witness against Him,
saying,
58 (Mk 15:29; Jn 2:19) "We heard Him say, 'I will destroy this temple
that is made with hands, and within three days I will build another
not made with hands.' "
59 But still their testimony did not agree.
60 Then the high priest stood up in the midst and asked Jesus,
"Do You answer nothing? What is it which these men testify against You?"
61 (Isa 53:7; Mt 16:16) But He kept silent and answered nothing.
Again the high priest asked Him, "Are You the Christ,
the Son of the Blessed One?"
62 (Ps 110:1; Heb 1:3) Jesus said, "I am. And you will see the Son of Man
sitting at the right hand of Power and coming with the clouds of heaven."
63 (Nu 14:6) The high priest tore his robes, saying,
"What need do we have of any further witnesses?
64 (Lev 24:16) You have heard the blasphemy. What do you think?"
They all condemned Him as guilty unto death.
65 (Isa 50:6; Mt 26:67-68) Then some began to spit on Him,
and to blindfold Him, and to strike Him, saying to Him,
"Prophesy!" And the guards struck Him with the palms of their hands.
[53] And they led Jesus away to the high priest: and with him were assembled
all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes.
[54] And Peter followed him afar off, even into the palace of the high
priest: and he sat with the servants, and warmed himself at the fire.
[55] And the chief priests and all the council sought for witness against
Jesus to put him to death; and found none.
[56] For many bare false witness against him, but their witness agreed not
together.
[57] And there arose certain, and bare false witness against him, saying,
[58] We heard him say, I will destroy this temple that is made with hands,
and within three days I will build another made without hands.
[59] But neither so did their witness agree together.
[60] And the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, saying,
Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?
[61] But he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the high priest
asked him, and said unto him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?
[62] And Jesus said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the
right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.
[63] Then the high priest rent his clothes, and saith, What need we any
further witnesses?
[64] Ye have heard the blasphemy: what think ye? And they all condemned him
to be guilty of death.
[65] And some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to buffet
him, and to say unto him, Prophesy: and the servants did strike him with the
palms of their hands.
Matthew 26:57-68
Jesus Before the Sanhedrin
Mk 14:53-65; Lk 22:54-55, 63-71; Jn 18:13-14, 19-24
57 (Mt 26:3) Those who had seized Jesus led Him away to Caiaphas
the high priest, where the scribes and the elders had assembled.
58 (Jn 7:32) But Peter followed Him from afar to the high priest's courtyard
and went in, and sat with the servants to see the end.
59 The chief priests and the elders and the entire Sanhedrin searched
for false witness against Jesus to put Him to death,
60 (Dt 19:15; Ps 27:12) but they found none. Yes, though many false witnesses
came forward, they found none.
At last two false witnesses came forward
61 (Mt 27:40; Isa 49:7) and said, "This fellow said, 'I am able to destroy t
he temple of God and to build it in three days.' "
62 Then the high priest stood up and said to Him, "Do You answer nothing?
What is it these men testify against You?"
63 (Lev 5:1; Mt 16:16) But Jesus remained silent.
The high priest said to Him, "I adjure You by the living God,
tell us whether You are the Christ, the Son of God."
64 (Ps 110:1; Da 7:13) Jesus said to him, "You have said so. But I say to you,
hereafter you will see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of Power
and coming on the clouds of heaven."
65 (Mt 9:3; Jn 10:36) Then the high priest tore his clothes, saying,
"He has uttered blasphemy. What further need do we have for witnesses?
See, now you have heard His blasphemy.
66 (Jn 19:7) What do you think?"
They answered, "He is guilty unto death."
67 (Isa 50:6; Mt 27:30) Then they spat in His face and struck Him.
And others slapped Him with the palms of their hands,
68 (Mk 14:65; Lk 22:63-65) saying, "Prophesy to us, You Christ!
Who is it that struck You?"
[57] And they that had laid hold on Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high
priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled.
[58] But Peter followed him afar off unto the high priest's palace, and went
in, and sat with the servants, to see the end.
[59] Now the chief priests, and elders, and all the council, sought false
witness against Jesus, to put him to death;
[60] But found none: yea, though many false witnesses came, yet found they
none. At the last came two false witnesses,
[61] And said, This fellow said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and
to build it in three days.
[62] And the high priest arose, and said unto him, Answerest thou nothing?
what is it which these witness against thee?
[63] But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest answered and said unto
him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be the
Christ, the Son of God.
[64] Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you,
Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power,
and coming in the clouds of heaven.
[65] Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He hath spoken
blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard
his blasphemy.
[66] What think ye? They answered and said, He is guilty of death.
[67] Then did they spit in his face, and buffeted him; and others smote him
with the palms of their hands,
[68] Saying, Prophesy unto us, thou Christ, Who is he that smote thee?
2) Our Daily Bread for 27 December 2025 Titled
Our Loving Rescuer by Xochitl Dixon
Psalm 55:1-5, 16-22
PSALMS 55
For the Music Director. With stringed instruments.
A Contemplative Maskil of David.
1 Give ear to my prayer, O God,
and do not hide Yourself from my supplication.
2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) Attend to me, and answer me;
I am restless in my complaint, and I murmur,
3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) because of the voice of the enemy,
because of the pressure of the wicked,
for they cause trouble to drop on me,
and in wrath they have animosity against me.
4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) My heart is in pain within me,
and the terrors of death have fallen on me.
5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) Fear and trembling come into me,
and horror has overwhelmed me.
16 As for me, I will call on God,
and the Lord will save me.
17 Evening and morning and at noon,
I will make my complaint and murmur,
and He will hear my voice.
18 He has ransomed my life in peace
from the battle against me,
for there were many against me.
19 God will hear and afflict them,
even He who sits enthroned from of old. Selah
Because they do not change,
therefore they do not fear God.
20 My friend has set his hands against those at peace with him;
he has violated his covenant.
21 The words of his mouth were smoother than butter,
but battle was in his heart;
his words were softer than oil,
yet they were drawn swords.
22 Cast your burden on the Lord,
and He will sustain you;
He will never allow
the righteous to be moved.
Psalm 55
[1] Give ear to my prayer, O God; and hide not thyself from my supplication.
[2] Attend unto me, and hear me: I mourn in my complaint, and make a noise;
[3] Because of the voice of the enemy, because of the oppression of the
wicked: for they cast iniquity upon me, and in wrath they hate me.
[4] My heart is sore pained within me: and the terrors of death are fallen
upon me.
[5] Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me, and horror hath overwhelmed
me.
[16] As for me, I will call upon God; and the LORD shall save me.
[17] Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he
shall hear my voice.
[18] He hath delivered my soul in peace from the battle that was against me:
for there were many with me.
[19] God shall hear, and afflict them, even he that abideth of old. Selah.
Because they have no changes, therefore they fear not God.
[20] He hath put forth his hands against such as be at peace with him: he
hath broken his covenant.
[21] The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war was in his
heart: his words were softer than oil, yet were they drawn swords.
[22] Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall
never suffer the righteous to be moved.
During a raging wildfire, a forest ranger saved a bear cub. At a recovery site
safely away from those still fighting the inferno, he placed the rescued
animal on the ground. Standing on its tiny back paws, the cub hugged the man's
calf. The ranger gently pried himself away. Mouth wide as if crying out in
desperation, the little bear clambered and clawed in an attempt to remain
in the refuge of his rescuer's embrace. As the cub clung to his arm,
the kind man relented and rubbed his furry friend's head.
What if we pursued our ultimate rescuer - Jesus - with the same fierce
desperation and confidence as the bear cub who pursued and clung to the
one who saved him from death?
All people God made need saving. The psalmist David confessed
his need for a rescuer - for God to hear and answer
his prayers (Psalm 55:1-2). Admitting he faced troubles, threats, suffering,
and fear (vv. 3-5), David pursued God with assurance. "As for me, I call to
God, and the Lord saves me," he said (v. 16). "Evening, morning and noon I cry
out in distress, and he hears my voice" (v. 17). David prayed continually. He
believed God listened and trusted that He would rescue him "unharmed" (v. 18).
When we face difficulties or suffering of any kind, like David, we can cry out
to God. Our loving Rescuer, who pursues us, hears and saves us when we pursue
Him too.
Reflect & Pray
How can you pursue God today?
When has God rescued you from trouble or suffering?
Dear God, thank You for rescuing me from
death through Christ and for being my refuge every day.

Week 7 Promises of Grace - Day 7 Support System
Deut 33:27
27 (Ge 49:24; Ps 90:1-2) The eternal God is your refuge,
and underneath you are the everlasting arms;
He will drive out the enemy before you,
and will say, "Destroy them."
27 The eternal God is thy refuge,
And underneath are the everlasting arms:
And he shall thrust out the enemy from before thee;
And shall say, Destroy them.
Misty was only 4 when her parents divorced. Her dad moved away,
and the following summer she went with her grandparents to visit him
in his new apartment. In the swimming pool one afternoon, Grandpa stood
Misty on the side of the pool, held out his arm, and called, "Jump!"
But Misty, normally a little fish, suddenly seemed afraid of the water,
and stood trembling on the sidewalk shaking her head.
"Jump, Misty - I'll catch you!"
"Are you sure, Grandpa?"
"Of course I'm sure! Jump!"
But Misty wouldn't jump. Finally Grandpa, a bit irritated, said, "Misty, do
you think I Won't catch you? Do you think I'll just walk away?"
The tears spilled over, and Misty sobbed. "Daddy did!"
Human support systems often fail us. We disappoint those we love, and
are disappointed by them. People simply aren't there for us
when we need them most.
But God promises that with him things are different. He's always there,
always listening, always caring, always ready to support us.
"Underneath his everlasting arms".
Sometimes those arms reach out clothed in flesh, in the warm embrace
of a loved one. Sometimes they support us through the Word, sometimes through
the quiet peace that comes in prayer. Sometimes we are not aware of them
at all, but they still hold us up, supporting, surrounding, loving.
Underneath us are the everlasting arms.
Application
a) Have I ever felt abandoned by someone I loved and depended upon?
b) How have I experienced the faithfulness of God's "Everlasting arms"?
c) Now can this verse help me in times when I feel my supports have given way?
4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland
Luke 16:10-12
10 (Mt 25:21; Lk 19:17) "He who is faithful in what is least is faithful
also in much. And he who is dishonest in the least is dishonest also
in much.
11 So if you have not been faithful in the unrighteous wealth,
who will commit to your trust the true riches?
12 And if you have not been faithful in that which is another man's,
who will give you that which is your own?"
10 He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much:
and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much.
11 If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon,
who will commit to your trust the true riches?
12 And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man's,
who shall give you that which is your own?
5) From a Book called God's Promises for you:
God's Reconciling Peace
Col 3:12-17
12 (Eph 4:2; Lk 1:78) So embrace, as the elect of God, holy and beloved,
a spirit of mercy, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, and longsuffering.
13 (Eph 4:32; Mk 11:25; Eph 4:2) Bear with one another
and forgive one another. If anyone has a quarrel against anyone,
even as Christ forgave you, so you must do.
14 (Eph 4:3; 1Co 13:1-13) And above all these things, embrace love,
which is the bond of perfection.
15 (Jn 14:27; Eph 5:20) Let the peace of God,
to which also you are called in one body,
rule in your hearts. And be thankful.
16 (Eph 5:19; Col 1:28; Ro 10:17 ) Let the word of Christ dwell
in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing
one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs,
singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
17 (1Co 10:31; Eph 5:20 ) And whatever you do in word or deed,
do all in the name of the Lord Jesus,
giving thanks to God the Father through Him.
12 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies,
kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;
13 forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have
a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.
14 And above all these things put on charity,
which is the bond of perfectness.
15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye
are called in one body; and be ye thankful.
16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom;
teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs,
singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus,
giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
Remember God's promises when You pray
The Lord's prayer

9 "Therefore pray in this manner:
Our Father who is in heaven,
hallowed be Your name.
10 (Mt 3:2; 4:17) Your kingdom come;
Your will be done
on earth, as it is in heaven.
11 (Pr 30:8; Isa 33:16) Give us this day our daily bread.
12 (Ex 34:7; Ps 32:1) And forgive us our debts,
as we forgive our debtors.
13 (1Co 10:13; Jn 17:15) And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen."
9 After this manner therefore pray ye:
Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
11 Give us this day our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

Adding further
30 days of prayer for the Muslim World 24 April to 23 May 2020
Under the Keep Praying page
When the new moon is sighted it marks the beginning of t he new Islamic month
and Eid al-Fitr, the "Festival of Breaking the Fast", will start! After 30 days
of fasting, the Eid celebration at the end of Ramadan is a joyful time that
usually lasts about 3 days. Muslims will buy new clothes, exchange gifts and,
of course, enjoy special foods. In Muslim-majority nations, the streets may be
decorated and festivals will be held.
For many Muslims, Eid-al-Fitr begins with communal prayers at daybreak and the
distribution of money (zakat) to the poor, which is one of the 5 pillars of
Islam.
You can greet Muslim friends during this time by saying "Eid Mubarak",
which means Blessed Eid!"
Ramadan is over for this year, but you can continue to pray for Muslims you
know, and Muslims around the world:
- Despite the unsettling developments in our world today that involve actions
in the name of Islam, there is at the same time a largely untold story about
unprecedented movement to Christ among Muslims. There have been more such
movements of thousands or more new disciples among Muslims in the last three
decades or so than in all the previous history of Christian Muslim
relationships! Pray for this momentum to continue.
Acts 2:12-17 : 17 12 They were all amazed and perplexed, saying to each other,
"What does this mean?"
13 (1Co 14:23) Others mocking said, "These men are full of new wine."
Peter's Speech at Pentecost
14 (Ac 1:26) But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice
and said to them, "Men of Judea and all you who dwell in Jerusalem,
let this be known to you, and listen to my words.
15 For these are not drunk, as you suppose,
since it is the third hour of the day.
16 But this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:
17 (Isa 44:3; Ac 10:45) 'In the last days it shall be,' says God,
'that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh;
your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
your young men shall see visions,
and your old men shall dream dreams.'
- Pray for Christian workers an organisations focused on seeing effective
discipleship movements among Muslim people.
- Ask the Holy Spirit to continue to inspire you to have god's heart for
Muslims, to see them as He does, and to be the light that then to Jesus.
Matthew 5:14-15 : 14 "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a
hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do men light a candle and put it under
a basket, but on a candlestick. And it gives light to all who are in the
house."
Ideas for prayer
- Pray for opportunities to show the love of Christ to Muslims around you
- Pray for, and offer generous hospitality to, those you know who are serving
Christ among Muslim people -
Romans 12:13 "contribute to the needs of the saints, practice hospitality."
- When you gather with fellow believers, remember to pray for Muslims
throughout the year and encourage them to also participate in 30 Days!
My paternal side is of Muslim heritage and will offer this section to further
call for Muslim converts to Christian and any other converts to Christianity
(Hindus, Jews, aboriginals Canadian, atheists, secular humanists, ...)

John 16
Sorrow Will Turn Into Joy
16 (Jn 7:33; 16:17-19) "In a little while you will not see Me. And then after
a little while you will see Me, because I am going to the Father."
17 (Jn 16:5; Mk 9:10) Then some of His disciples said among themselves,
"What is this He is telling us: 'In a little while you will not see Me;
and then after a little while you will see Me,' and, 'because I am going
to the Father'?"
18 Then they said, "What is this He is telling us: 'In a little while'?
We do not know what He is saying."
19 (Jn 2:24-25; 16:30) Then Jesus knew that they wanted to ask Him.
So He said to them, "Do you inquire among yourselves concerning what I said:
'In a little while you will not see Me;
and then after a little while you will see Me'?
20 (Mk 16:10; Mt 5:4) Truly, truly I say to you that you will weep and lament,
but the world will rejoice. You will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will
be turned into joy.
21 (1Th 5:3) When a woman is giving birth, she has pain, because her hour
has come. But as soon as she delivers the child, she no longer remembers
the anguish for joy that a child is born into the world.
22 (Jn 16:6; 1Pe 1:8) Therefore you now have sorrow. But I will see you
again, and your heart will rejoice, and no one will take your joy from you.
23 (Jn 16:19; Mt 7:7) On that day you will ask Me nothing. Truly, truly I say
to you, whatever you ask the Father in My name, He will give it to you.
24 (Jn 15:11) Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will
receive, that your joy may be full.
[16] 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.
[17] 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?
[18] They said therefore, What is this that he saith, A little while? we
cannot tell what he saith.
[19] Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask him, and said unto them,
Do ye inquire 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?
[20] 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.
[21] 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.
[22] 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.
[23] 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.
[24] Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive,
that your joy may be full.
I Have Overcome the World
25 (Jn 16:2) "I have told you these things in proverbs. But the time is coming
when I will no longer speak to you in proverbs, for I will speak to you
plainly about the Father.
26 On that day you will ask in My name. I am not saying to you that
I shall ask the Father on your behalf.
27 (Jn 14:21; 14:23) For the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved
Me, and have believed that I came from God.
28 (Jn 13:3; 8:14) I came from the Father and have come into the world.
As I said, I am leaving the world and am going to the Father."
29 (Jn 16:25) His disciples said to Him, "Yes! Now You are speaking plainly
and with no figure of speech.
30 (Jn 21:17) Now we know that You know everything and do not need anyone
to question You. By this we believe that You came from God."
31 Jesus answered them, "Do you now believe?
32 (Mt 26:31; Jn 8:29) Listen, the hour is coming. Yes, it has now come that
you will be scattered, each to his own home, and will leave Me alone.
Yet I am not alone, for the Father is with Me.
33 (Jn 14:27; 1Jn 4:4; Jn 14:1) "I have told you these things so that in Me
you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But be of good
cheer. I have overcome the world."
[25] 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.
[26] At that day ye shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that I
will pray the Father for you:
[27] For the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have
believed that I came out from God.
[28] I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I
leave the world, and go to the Father.
[29] His disciples said unto him, Lo, now speakest thou plainly, and
speakest no proverb.
[30] 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.
[31] Jesus answered them, Do ye now believe?
[32] 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.
[33] 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.
John 17
The Prayer of Jesus
1 (Jn 11:41; 7:39) When Jesus spoke these words, He lifted His eyes toward
heaven and said:
"Father, the hour has come. Glorify Your Son,
that Your Son may also glorify You.
2 (Jn 6:37; 6:39) As You have given Him authority over all flesh,
He will give eternal life to all whom You have given Him.
3 (1Jn 5:20; Jn 3:17; 17:25) This is eternal life: that they may know You,
the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom You have sent.
4 (Jn 4:34; 19:30) I have glorified You on the earth. I have finished the work
You have given Me to do.
5 (Jn 17:24; Php 2:6) And now, O Father, glorify Me in Your own presence
with the glory which I had with You before the world existed.
6 (Jn 17:2; 17:26) "I have revealed Your name to the men whom You have given
Me out of the world. They were Yours, and You gave them to Me, and they have
kept Your word.
7 Now they know that all things You have given Me are from You.
8 (Jn 16:27; 17:14) For I have given them the words which You gave Me.
They have received them and certainly know that I came from You,
and they have believed that You sent Me.
9 (Lk 22:32; Jn 14:16) I pray for them. I do not pray for the world,
but for those whom You have given Me. For they are Yours.
10 (2Th 1:10) All that are Mine are Yours, and all that are Yours are Mine.
And I am glorified in them.
11 (Jn 13:1; 17:21-22) I am to be no longer in the world, though these are
in the world, for I am coming to You. Holy Father, through Your name keep
those whom You have given Me, that they may be one as We are one.
12 (Jn 13:18; 18:9; 2Th 2:3) While I was with them in the world, I kept them
in Your name. I have kept those whom You have given Me. And none of them
is lost except the son of perdition, that the Scripture might be fulfilled.
13 (Jn 3:29; 15:11) "But now I am coming to You, and I say these things
in the world, that they may have My joy fulfilled in themselves.
14 (Jn 8:23; 17:16) I have given them Your word. And the world has hated them
because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.
15 I do not pray that You should take them out of the world,
but that You should keep them from the evil one.
16 (Jn 17:14) They are not of the world even as I am not of the world.
17 (Jn 15:3; 2Sa 7:28) Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth.
18 (Jn 20:21) As You sent Me into the world, so I sent them into the world.
19 (Jn 10:36; 1Co 1:2) For their sakes I sanctify Myself,
that they also may be sanctified by the truth.
20 "I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me
through their word,
21 (Jn 10:38; 17:8) that they may all be one, as You, Father, are in Me,
and I in You. May they also be one in Us, that the world may believe that
You have sent Me.
22 (Jn 1:14; 14:20) I have given them the glory which You gave Me, that they
may be one even as We are one:
23 (Jn 16:27; 17:21) I in them and You in Me, that they may be perfect in
unity, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved
them as You have loved Me.
24 (Jn 12:26; 17:5) "Father, I desire that they also, whom You have given Me,
be with Me where I am, that they may see My glory which You have given Me.
For You loved Me before the creation of the world.
25 (Jn 7:29; 15:21) "O righteous Father, the world has not known You,
but I have known You, and these have known that You sent Me.
26 (Jn 15:9; 17:6) I have declared Your name to them, and will declare it,
that the love with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them."
[1] 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:
[2] As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal
life to as many as thou hast given him.
[3] And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God,
and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.
[4] I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou
gavest me to do.
[5] And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory
which I had with thee before the world was.
[6] 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.
[7] Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of
thee.
[8] 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.
[9] I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast
given me; for they are thine.
[10] And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them.
[11] 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.
[12] 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.
[13] And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that
they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.
[14] 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.
[15] I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that
thou shouldest keep them from the evil.
[16] They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
[17] Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
[18] As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into
the world.
[19] And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be
sanctified through the truth.
[20] Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe
on me through their word;
[21] 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.
[22] And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be
one, even as we are one:
[23] 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.
[24] 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.
[25] O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known
thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.
[26] 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.

Matthew 26:31-35
Peter's Denial Foretold
Mk 14:27-31; Lk 22:31-34; Jn 13:36-38
31 (Zec 13:7; Jn 16:32) Then Jesus said to them,
"All of you will fall away on account of Me this night,
for it is written:
'I will strike the shepherd,
and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered.' (Zec 13:7).
32 (Mt 28:10; 28:16) But after I have risen, I will go before you to Galilee."
33 (Lk 22:33) Peter answered, "Though all men will fall away on account
of You, yet I will never fall away."
34 (Jn 13:38; Mt 26:75) Jesus said to him, "Truly I say to you, this night,
before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times."
35 (Jn 13:37) Peter said to Him, "Though I should die with You, yet I will
not deny You." And all the disciples spoke in this manner.
[31] Then saith Jesus unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this
night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the
flock shall be scattered abroad.
[32] But after I am risen again, I will go before you into Galilee.
[33] Peter answered and said unto him, Though all men shall be offended
because of thee, yet will I never be offended.
[34] Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this night, before
the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.
[35] Peter said unto him, Though I should die with thee, yet will I not deny
thee. Likewise also said all the disciples.
Luke 22:31-38
Peter's Denial Foretold
31 (Am 9:9; Job 1:6-12) Then the Lord said, "Simon, Simon, listen!
Satan has demanded to have you to sift you as wheat.
32 (Jn 21:15-17; Ro 8:34) But I have prayed for you that your faith
may not fail. And when you have repented, strengthen your brothers."
33 (Mt 26:33-35; Mk 14:29) He said to Him, "Lord, I am ready to go
with You to prison and to death."
34 (Mt 26:34; Mk 14:30) He said, "I tell you, Peter, before the rooster
crows today, you will deny three times that you know Me."
[31] And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have
you, that he may sift you as wheat:
[32] But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art
converted, strengthen thy brethren.
[33] And he said unto him, Lord, I am ready to go with thee, both into
prison, and to death.
[34] And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day,
before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me.
Purse, Bag, and Sword
35 (Lk 9:3; Mt 10:9-10) Then He said to them, "When I sent you without purse
or bag or sandals, did you lack anything?"
They said, "Nothing."
36 He said to them, "But now, let him who has a purse take it and also a bag.
And let him who has no sword sell his garment and buy one.
37 (Isa 53:12) For I tell you, what is written must yet be accomplished in Me,
'And He was numbered with the transgressors.'(Isa 53:12.)
Indeed, what is written concerning Me has a fulfillment."
38 They said, "Lord, look, here are two swords."
He said to them, "It is enough."
[35] And he said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and
shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing.
[36] 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.
[37] 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.
[38] And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said unto
them, It is enough.
John 14
John 14
Jesus the Way to the Father
1 (Jn 12:44; 16:22-23) "Let not your heart be troubled. You believe in God.
Believe also in Me.
2 (Jn 13:33; 13:36) In My Father's house are many dwelling places. If it were
not so, I would have told you. I am going to prepare a place for you.
3 (Jn 12:26; 14:28) And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again
and receive you to Myself, that where I am, you may be also.
4 You know where I am going, and you know the way."
5 (Jn 11:16) Thomas said to Him, "Lord, we do not know where You are going.
How can we know the way?"
6 (Jn 10:9; 1:14; Ac 4:12) Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth,
and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
7 (Jn 8:19) If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also.
From now on you do know Him and have seen Him."
8 Philip said to Him, "Lord, show us the Father,
and that is sufficient for us."
9 (Heb 1:3; Jn 12:45; Col 1:15) Jesus said to him, "Have I been with you
such a long time, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen
Me has seen the Father. So how can you say, 'Show us the Father'?
10 (Jn 5:19; 10:38) 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 authority. But the Father who lives in Me does the works.
11 (Jn 5:36; 10:38) Believe Me that I am in the Father, and the Father
is in Me. Or else believe Me on account of the works themselves.
12 (Mt 21:21; Jn 14:28) Truly, truly I say to you, he who believes in Me
will do the works that I do also. And he will do greater works than these,
because I am going to My Father.
13 (Mt 7:7; Jn 13:31) I will do whatever you ask in My name, that the Father
may be glorified in the Son.
14 If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.
[1] Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
[2] 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.
[3] 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.
[4] And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.
[5] Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how
can we know the way?
[6] Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man
cometh unto the Father, but by me.
[7] If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from
henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.
[8] Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us.
[9] 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?
[10] 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.
[11] Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else
believe me for the very works' sake.
[12] 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.
[13] And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father
may be glorified in the Son.
[14] If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.
The Promise of the Spirit
15 (Eph 6:24) "If you love Me, keep My commandments.
16 (Jn 15:26; 14:26; 1Jn 2:1) I will pray the Father, and He will give you
another Counselor, that He may be with you forever:
17 (Jn 15:26; 16:13; 1Co 2:14) the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot
receive, for it does not see Him, neither does it know Him. But you know Him,
for He lives with you, and will be in you.
18 (Jn 14:3) I will not leave you fatherless. I will come to you.
19 (Jn 7:33; 16:16) Yet a little while and the world will see Me no more.
But you will see Me. Because I live, you will live also.
20 (Jn 10:38; 14:10) On that day you will know that I am in My Father,
and you are in Me, and I am in you.
21 (Jn 14:15; 16:27) He who has My commandments and keeps them is the one
who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father. And I will love
him and will reveal Myself to him."
22 (Lk 6:16; Ac 1:13) Then Judas (not Iscariot) said to Him, "Lord, how is it
that You will reveal Yourself to us, but not to the world?"
23 (Jn 14:15; 14:21) Jesus answered him, "If a man loves Me, he will keep
My word. My Father will love him, and We will come to him, and make Our home
with him.
24 (Jn 7:16; 14:10) He who does not love Me does not keep My words.
The word which you hear is not Mine, but the Father's who sent Me.
25 "I have spoken these things to you while I am still with you.
26 (Jn 15:26; 16:7) But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father
will send in My name, will teach you everything and remind you of all that
I told you.
27 (Jn 16:33; Php 4:7; Col 3:15) Peace I leave with you.
My peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you.
Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
28 (Jn 14:12; 14:18) "You have heard Me say to you, 'I am going away
and am returning to you.' If you loved Me, you would rejoice
because I said, 'I am going to the Father,' for My Father is greater than I.
29 (Jn 13:19) Now I have told you before it happens so that, when it happens,
you may believe.
30 (Jn 12:31; 2Co 4:4; Heb 4:15) After this I will not speak much with you,
for the ruler of this world is coming. He has no power over Me.
31 (Jn 10:18; 12:49) But I do as the Father has commanded Me
so that the world may know that I love the Father.
"Rise, let us go from here.
[15] If ye love me, keep my commandments.
[16] And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter,
that he may abide with you for ever;
[17] 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.
[18] I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.
[19] Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me:
because I live, ye shall live also.
[20] At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I
in you.
[21] 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.
[22] Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt
manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?
[23] 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.
[24] 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.
[25] These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you.
[26] 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.
[27] 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.
[28] 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.
[29] And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come
to pass, ye might believe.
[30] Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world
cometh, and hath nothing in me.
[31] 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.

John 15:1-17
Jesus the True Vine
1 (Isa 5:1-7; 1Co 3:9) "I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser.
2 (Mt 3:10; 13:12) Every branch in Me that bears no fruit, He takes away.
And every branch that bears fruit, He prunes, that it may bear more fruit.
3 (Jn 13:10; 17:17) You are already clean through the word
which I have spoken to you.
4 (1Jn 2:6; Jn 6:56; Gal 2:20) Remain in Me, as I also remain in you.
As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it remains in the vine,
neither can you, unless you remain in Me.
5 (Php 4:13; Jn 15:16) "I am the vine, you are the branches. He who remains
in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit. For without Me you can do nothing.
6 (Mt 13:41; Jn 15:2) If a man does not remain in Me, he is thrown out
as a branch and withers. And they gather them and throw them into the fire,
and they are burned.
7 (Jn 14:13; 15:16) If you remain in Me, and My words remain in you,
you will ask whatever you desire, and it shall be done for you.
8 (Mt 5:16; Jn 8:31) My Father is glorified by this, that you bear much fruit;
so you will be My disciples.
9 (Jn 17:26) "As the Father loved Me, I also loved you. Remain in My love.
10 (Jn 14:15; 8:29; 17:4) If you keep My commandments, you will remain
in My love, even as I have kept My Father's commandments
and remain in His love.
11 (Jn 17:13; 16:24) I have spoken these things to you, that My joy
may remain in you, and that your joy may be full.
12 (Jn 13:34; 1Jn 3:23) This is My commandment: that you love one another,
as I have loved you.
13 (Jn 10:11; 10:15) Greater love has no man than this: that a man lay down
his life for his friends.
14 (Mt 12:50; Lk 12:4) You are My friends if you do whatever I command you.
15 (Jn 8:26; 15:20) I no longer call you servants, for a servant does
not know what his master does. But I have called you friends,
for everything that I have heard from My Father have I made known to you.
16 (Jn 13:18; 6:70You did not choose Me, but I chose you, and appointed you,
that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain,
that the Father may give you whatever you ask Him in My name.
17 (Jn 15:12) This I command you: that you love one another.
[1] I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.
[2] 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.
[3] Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.
[4] 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.
[5] 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.
[6] 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.
[7] If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will,
and it shall be done unto you.
[8] Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be
my disciples.
[9] As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.
[10] 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.
[11] These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you,
and that your joy might be full.
[12] This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.
[13] Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for
his friends.
[14] Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.
[15] 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.
[16] 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.
[17] These things I command you, that ye love one another.
John 15:18-27
The World's Hatred
18 (1Jn 3:13; Jn 7:7) "If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me
before it hated you.
19 (Jn 15:16) If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own.
But because you are not of the world, since I chose you out of the world,
the world therefore hates you.
20 (Jn 13:16; Mt 10:24) Remember the word that I said to you: 'A servant
is not greater than his master.' If they persecuted Me, they will also
persecute you. If they kept My words, they will keep yours also.
21 (Mt 10:22; Jn 16:3) But all these things they will do to you for
My name's sake, because they do not know Him who sent Me.
22 (Jn 9:41; Ro 1:20) If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not
have had sin. But now they have no excuse for their sin.
23 He who hates Me hates My Father also.
24 (Jn 5:36; 10:37) If I had not performed among them the works
which no one else did, they would have no sin.
But now have they seen and hated both My Father and Me.
25 (Ps 35:19; 69:4) But that the word which is written in their law might be
fulfilled, 'They hated Me without a cause.' (Ps 35:19; 69:4.)
26 (Jn 14:16-17; 14:26; 16:7) "But when the Counselor comes, whom I shall send
to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father,
He will bear witness of Me.
27 (Lk 24:48; Jn 21:24) And you also will bear witness, because you have been
with Me from the beginning.
[18] If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.
[19] 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.
[20] 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 yours also.
[21] But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because
they know not him that sent me.
[22] If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now
they have no cloke for their sin.
[23] He that hateth me hateth my Father also.
[24] 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.
[25] But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is
written in their law, They hated me without a cause.
[26] 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:
[27] And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the
beginning.
John 16
1 (Mt 11:6) "I have spoken these things to you so that you will not fall away.
2 (Jn 9:22; Ac 26:9-11) They will put you out of the synagogues. Yes, the time
is coming that whoever kills you will think that he is offering
a service to God.
3 (Jn 15:21; 17:25) They will do these things to you, because they have not
known the Father nor Me.
4 (Jn 13:19; Mt 9:15) I have told you these things, so that when the time
comes, you may remember that I told you about them.
[1] These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended.
[2] They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that
whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.
[3] And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the
Father, nor me.
[4] 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.
The Work of the Spirit
"I did not tell you these things at the beginning, because I was with you.
5 (Jn 13:36; 7:33) But now I am going to Him who sent Me, and none of you
asks Me, 'Where are You going?'
6 (Jn 14:1) Rather, sorrow has filled your heart because I have told you
these things.
7 (Jn 14:26; 15:26; 7:39) Nevertheless I tell you the truth:
It is expedient for you that I go away. For if I do not go away,
the Counselor will not come to you. But if I go, I will send Him to you.
8 (Jn 8:46) When He comes, He will convict the world of sin
and of righteousness and of judgment:
9 of sin, because they do not believe in Me;
10 (Jer 23:5-6; Ac 3:14) of righteousness, because I am going to My Father,
and you will see Me no more;
11 (Jn 12:31; 14:30; 2Co 4:4) and of judgment, because the ruler of this
world stands condemned.
12 (Mk 4:33) "I have yet many things to tell you,
but you cannot bear them now.
13 (Jn 14:17; 14:26; 15:26) But when the Spirit of truth comes, He will guide
you into all truth. For He will not speak on His own authority. But He will
speak whatever He hears, and He will tell you things that are to come.
14 (1Jn 4:13-14) He will glorify Me, for He will receive from Me
and will declare it to you.
15 (Jn 17:10) All that the Father has is Mine. Therefore I said that
He will take what is Mine and will declare it to you.
[5] But now I go my way to him that sent me; and none of you asketh me,
Whither goest thou?
[6] But because I have said these things unto you, sorrow hath filled your
heart.
[7] 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.
[8] And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of
righteousness, and of judgment:
[9] Of sin, because they believe not on me;
[10] Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;
[11] Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.
[12] I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.
[13] 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.
[14] He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it
unto you.
[15] All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he
shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.

Luke 22:14-30
The Lord's Supper
Mt 26:26-30; Mk 14:22-26; 1Co 11:23-25
14 (Mt 26:20; Mk 14:17) When the hour had come, He and the twelve apostles
with Him sat down.
15 And He said to them, "I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover
with you before I suffer.
16 (Lk 14:15; Rev 19:9) For I tell you, I will never eat it again
until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God."
17 And He took the cup and gave thanks and said,
"Take this and divide it among yourselves.
18 (Mt 26:29; Mk 14:25) For I tell you, I will not drink of the fruit
of the vine until the kingdom of God comes."
19 (1Co 10:16; Mt 26:26-28) Then He took the bread, and when He had given
thanks, He broke it and gave it to them, saying,
"This is My body which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of Me."
20 (Ex 24:8; Zec 9:11) In like manner, He took the cup after supper, saying,
"This cup is the new covenant in My blood which is shed for you.
21 (Ps 41:9; Jn 13:26) But see the hand of him who betrays Me is with Me
at the table.
22 (Ac 2:23) Indeed, the Son of Man goes as it has been determined.
But woe to that man by whom He is betrayed!"
23 They began to inquire among themselves which of them it was who would
do this.
[14] And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles with
him.
[15] And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover
with you before I suffer:
[16] For I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it be
fulfilled in the kingdom of God.
[17] And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide
it among yourselves:
[18] For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until
the kingdom of God shall come.
[19] And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them,
saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of
me.
[20] Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new
testament in my blood, which is shed for you.
[21] But, behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table.
[22] And truly the Son of man goeth, as it was determined: but woe unto that
man by whom he is betrayed!
[23] And they began to inquire among themselves, which of them it was that
should do this thing.
The Dispute About Greatness
24 (Mk 9:34; Lk 9:46) There was also rivalry among them concerning which
of them was to be counted the greatest.
25 (Mt 20:25-28) He said to them, "The kings of the Gentiles exercise
lordship over them, and those who exercise authority
over them are called benefactors.
26 (Lk 9:48) But you are not so. Instead, let him who is greatest among
you be as the younger, and he who rules as he who serves.
27 (Mt 20:28; Lk 12:37) For who is greater: he who sits at the table,
or he who serves? Is it not he who sits at the table?
But I am among you as He who serves.
28 (Heb 2:18; 4:15) You are those who have continued with Me in My trials.
29 (2Ti 2:12; Mt 25:34) And I appoint to you a kingdom as My Father
has appointed one to Me,
30 (Mt 19:28; Lk 14:15) so that you may eat and drink at My table
in My kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel."
[24] And there was also a strife among them, which of them should be
accounted the greatest.
[25] And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over
them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors.
[26] 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.
[27] 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.
[28] Ye are they which have continued with me in my temptations.
[29] And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me;
[30] That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones
judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
John 13:18-30
18 (Ps 41:9; Mt 26:23) "I do not speak concerning all of you.
I know whom I have chosen, but that the Scripture may be fulfilled,
'He who eats bread with Me has lifted up his heel against Me.' (Ps 41:9.)
19 (Jn 14:29; 16:4) "Now I tell you before it happens,
that when it does happen, you may believe that I am He.
20 (Lk 10:16; Mk 9:37) Truly, truly I say to you, he who receives whomever
I send receives Me. And he who receives Me receives Him who sent Me."
[18] 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.
[19] Now I tell you before it come, that, when it is come to pass, ye may
believe that I am he.
[20] Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever I send
receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.
Jesus Foretells His Betrayal
Mt 26:20-25; Mk 14:17-21; Lk 22:21-23
21 (Mt 26:21; Mk 14:18) When Jesus had said this, He was troubled in spirit,
and testified, "Truly, truly I say to you that one of you will betray Me."
22 (Lk 22:23; Mt 26:22) The disciples looked at one another,
uncertain of whom He spoke.
23 (Jn 19:26; 20:2; 21:7)Now there was leaning against Jesus' bosom
one of His disciples whom Jesus loved.
24 Therefore Simon Peter motioned to him to ask who it was of whom He spoke.
25 (Jn 21:20) Leaning back against Jesus' bosom, he said to Him,
"Lord, who is it?"
26 (Mt 26:23) Jesus answered, "It is he to whom I shall give a piece of bread
when I have dipped it." When He had dipped the bread, He gave it to Judas
Iscariot, the son of Simon.
27 (Lk 22:3; Jn 13:2) After receiving the piece of bread, Satan entered him.
Then Jesus said to him, "What you are going to do, do quickly."
28 But no one at the table knew why He said this to him.
29 (Jn 12:5-6) Since Judas had the moneybox, some thought that Jesus said
to him, "Buy what we need for the feast," or that he should give something
to the poor.
30 Having received the piece of bread, he then left immediately.
And it was night.
[21] When Jesus had thus said, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, and
said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me.
[22] Then the disciples looked one on another, doubting of whom he spake.
[23] Now there was leaning on Jesus' bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus
loved.
[24] Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, that he should ask who it should
be of whom he spake.
[25] He then lying on Jesus' breast saith unto him, Lord, who is it?
[26] 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.
[27] And after the sop Satan entered into him. Then said Jesus unto him,
That thou doest, do quickly.
[28] Now no man at the table knew for what intent he spake this unto him.
[29] 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.
[30] He then having received the sop went immediately out: and it was night.
John 13:31-38
The New Commandment
31 (Jn 7:39; 14:13) When he had gone out, Jesus then said,
"Now is the Son of Man glorified, and in Him God is glorified.
32 (Jn 12:23; 17:1) If God is glorified in Him, God will also glorify Him
in Himself and will immediately glorify Him.
33 (Jn 7:33-34; 1Jn 2:1) "Little children, yet a little while I am with you.
You will seek Me. And as I said to the Jews, so now I tell you,
'Where I am going, you cannot come.'
34 (Lev 19:18; Eph 5:2) "A new commandment I give to you,
that you love one another, even as I have loved you,
that you also love one another.
35 (Jn 17:21) By this all men will know that you are My disciples,
if you have love for one another."
Peter's Denial Foretold
Mt 26:31-35; Mk 14:27-31; Lk 22:31-34
36 (2Pe 1:14; Jn 13:33) Simon Peter said to Him, "Lord, where are You going?"
Jesus answered him, "Where I am going, you cannot follow Me now.
But you shall follow Me afterward."
37 Peter said to Him, "Lord, why can I not follow You now?
I will lay down my life for Your sake."
38 (Mk 14:30) Jesus answered Him, "Will you lay down your life for My sake?
Truly, truly I say to you, the rooster shall not crow until you have denied Me
three times."
[31] Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world
be cast out.
[32] And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.
[33] This he said, signifying what death he should die.
[34] The people answered him, We have heard out of the law that Christ
abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, The Son of man must be lifted up? who
is this Son of man?
[35] Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you.
Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that
walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.
[36] While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children
of light. These things spake Jesus, and departed, and did hide himself from
them.
[37] But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed
not on him:
[38] That the saying of Esaias the prophet might be fulfilled, which he
spake, Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of the
Lord been revealed?
Mark 14:27-31
Peter's Denial Foretold
Mt 26:31-35; Lk 22:31-34; Jn 13:36-38
27 (Zec 13:7; Mt 26:31) Jesus said to them,
"All of you will fall away on account of Me this night, for it is written:
'I will strike the shepherd,
and the sheep will be scattered.' (Zec 13:7).
28 (Mt 28:16; Mk 16:7) But after I have risen,
I will go before you to Galilee."
29 Peter said to Him, "Even if all fall away, I will not."
30 (Mk 14:66-72; Jn 13:38) Jesus said to him, "Truly, I say to you that
this day, during the night, before the rooster crows twice,
you will deny Me three times."
31 But he said more vehemently, "If I must die with You, I will not deny You."
They all said the same thing.
[27] And 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 shall be
scattered.
[28] But after that I am risen, I will go before you into Galilee.
[29] But Peter said unto him, Although all shall be offended, yet will not I.
[30] And Jesus saith unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this day, even
in this night, before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice.
[31] But he spake the more vehemently, If I should die with thee, I will not
deny thee in any wise. Likewise also said they all.
