  • The Death and Resurrection of Jesus the Final Three Chapters Of
    Matthew 26-28: The Death and Resurrection of Jesus The final three chapters of Matthew’s gospel follow Mark’s lead in telling of the passion, death and resurrection of Jesus. At each stage Matthew adds to Mark’s story material that addresses concerns of his community. The overall story will be familiar to most readers. We shall focus on the features that are distinctive of Matthew’s version, while keeping the historical situation of Jesus’ condemnation in view. Last Supper, Gethsemane, Arrest and Trial (26:1–75) The story of Jesus’ last day begins with the plot of the priestly leadership to do away with Jesus (26:1–5). As in Mark 14:1-2 they are portrayed as acting with caution, fearing that an execution on the feast of Passover would upset the people (v 5). Like other early Christians, Matthew held the priestly leadership responsible for Jesus’ death and makes a special effort to show that Pilate was a reluctant participant. Matthew’s apologetic concerns probably color this aspect of the narrative. While there was close collaboration between the Jewish priestly elite and the officials of the empire like Pilate, the punishment meted out to Jesus was a distinctly Roman one. His activity, particularly in the Temple when he arrived in Jerusalem, however he understood it, was no doubt perceived as a threat to the political order and it was for such seditious activity that he was executed. Mark (14:3–9) and John (12:1–8) as well as Matthew (26:6–13) report a dramatic story of the anointing of Jesus by a repentant sinful woman, which Jesus interprets as a preparation for his burial (v.

  • In the Gospel According to John : a New Look at John 12:1-7
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE “Salvation by Gathering” in the Gospel according to John : A New Look at John 12:1-7 ■ 論 文 ■ “Salvation by Gathering” in the Gospel according to John : A New Look at John 12:1 - 7 Blanke, Jonathan A. * This article focuses on the theological significance of the anointing of Jesus at Bethany in light of the passion and death of Jesus in the Fourth Gospel. It responds to the conclusion of earlier 20th century scholar- ship that John 12:1-7 is essentially meaningful as a text that evolved from an oral tradition comparable to other anointings of Jesus with perfume in the Synoptic Gospels. It supplements this prior scholarly study by focusing on the literary context of the Bethany anointing within the Fourth Gospel and its sociohistorical context in light of biblical and extra-biblical texts of the first-century. It demonstrates how, especially for first-century readers, the anointing episode in the Fourth Gospel served to anticipate Mary as kinswoman of Jesus and sister of those whom Jesus will call “my brothers” (John 20:17). The result is a text that also points modern-day readers bereft of community to a new community of God gathered through the death of Christ. Key Words : Anointing, Mary of Bethany, Salvation, Household/Family Imagery, Gospel of John In the essay that follows I will try to understand a John 12:1-7 and“Narrative Echo”in the passage of Scripture in light of God’s rescue, through Fourth Gospel the death of Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son, for those who live bereft of community.

Before the world was created God purposed to send his Son into the world to save mankind from their sins. The Bible, though written over a period of some 1500 years, is an organized and complete unit, revealing the mind of God and his eternal purpose to save man from his sins. “For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning…” (Rom. 15:4). The Old Testament scriptures were written for our learning. From the first prophecy of Christ in the Garden of Eden (Gen. 3:15) to the close of the Old Testa- ment, God's plan unfolds, revealing the lineage of Christ through the seed of woman, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, the tribe of Judah, and the family of David.

  • Life of Mary Magdalene - by H
    Life of Mary Magdalene - by H. Lacordaire Friendship is the most perfect of human emotions, because it is the most free, the most pure and the most profound. Preface - In Provence As the traveler descends the declivity of the Rhone, at a particular moment, on the left, the mountains open up, the horizon expands, the sky becomes more pure, the earth more lush, and the air softer: he is in Provence. With its back to the Alps, Provence leaves them slowly through valleys which lose, bit by bit, the harshness of the high summits, and it advances like a promontory of Greece and of Italy towards this Sea that washes every famous seaboard. The Mediterranean gives Provence, after the Rhone and the Alps, her third belt, and a river, Provence's own, the Durance, hurls into her gorges and plains the force of a tonent that never le ts up. It is not possible to look at this land without quickly recognizing a natural and historical affinity with the most renowned countries of the Ancient World. Greek colonies conveyed to her early on the breath of the East, and Rome, who gave Provence her name, left her ruins worthy of this power that refused to no-one a portion of her own greatness, because she had enough for the entire. universe. When the Ancient World had withered, for a long time Provence, rich in memories, and yet richer in herself, retained in the general breakup of things her personality. She possessed her own tongue, her poetry, her customs, her nationality, her glory, all those gifts which, in certain circumstances, make of a small country a great land.

  • “On the Third Day”: the Time Frame of Jesus' Death And
    JETS 56/3 (2013) 511–42 “ON THE THIRD DAY”: THE TIME FRAME OF JESUS’ DEATH AND RESURRECTION MARTIN PICKUP* I. INTRODUCTION The three-day time frame of Jesus’ death and resurrection was a part of the earliest Christian preaching. It had a place in the kerygmatic formula that Paul quotes in 1 Cor 15:3–5, a four-line formula that is generally acknowledged to have originated in the very earliest years of the Church.1 For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, and that He appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.2 * Editor’s note: Martin Pickup unexpectedly passed away shortly after submitting this piece for pub- lication. This article reflects his interest and expertise in the Jewish background to the NT and in the early church’s proclamation of the bodily resurrection of Jesus. His family, friends, and many former students rejoice in the hope Marty defended with such skill in this article. “So also in Christ shall all be made alive” (1 Cor 15:22). 1 Scholars across the theological spectrum acknowledge the earliness of this formula. Most assign it a date of no more than two to five years after Jesus’ crucifixion. See, e.g., K. Lake, The Historical Evidence for the Resurrection of Jesus Christ (London: Williams and Norgate, 1907) 37–43; J. J. Smith, “Resurrection Faith Today,” TS 30 (1969) 403–4; G.

  • Love and Forgiveness
    LOVE AND FORGIVENESS John 12:1-11 Key Verses: 12:7-8 “Leave her alone,” Jesus replied. “It was intended that she should save this perfume for the day of my burial. You will always have the poor among you, but you will not always have me.” In chapter 12, John records four events: First, the anointing of Jesus by Mary at Bethany (1-11). Second, Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem (12-19). Third, Jesus’ teaching about the kernel of wheat (20-36). Fourth, the Jews’ rejection of Jesus (37-50). Today we want to study the first event, the anointing of Jesus. Mary expresses her love for Jesus in a very unique way. Let’s think about love and forgiveness. I. MARY’S ACT OF LOVE AND WORSHIP (1-3) Look at verse 1. “Six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus lived, whom Jesus had raised from the dead.” The Passover was a feast to commemorate God’s deliverance of the Israelites from their slavery in Egypt. To punish Pharaoh’s stubborn refusal to let go of God’s people, the angel of death swept through Egypt to kill all the firstborn of the land. But the angel passed over the houses of the Israelites whose doorposts were smeared with the blood of the lamb. Since then, the Israelites have celebrated the Passover. We remember how Jesus went up to Jerusalem to celebrate the feast when he was only twelve years old. Jesus must have gone up to Jerusalem every year to celebrate the Passover.

  • Sermon - "Waste Not, Want Not?” -4-7-19 – Fifth Sunday in Lent
    Page 1 of 4 Sermon - "Waste Not, Want Not?” -4-7-19 – Fifth Sunday in Lent Grace and Peace to you... Pause and Reflect… “Waste Not Want Not” – is a phrase familiar to many of us regarding the frivolous use of something and if you carefully use a commodity or resource without extravagance you will never be in need. Judas Iscariot seems to be echoing this phrase in our Gospel today when he asks the question about the anointing of Jesus feet by Mary of Bethany with the expensive perfume or “Nard” and then wipes Jesus feet with her hair. This very intimate action by Mary of Bethany which shows how important her relationship is with Jesus and this anointing seems to identify who Jesus is as the chosen one of God, Christ the Messiah. The words of protest by Judas Iscariot seem to try and distract from the identification of who Jesus is and his mission. His words are an attempt to distract from his own character flaws as we see some commentary by the writer of this gospel in the parentheses following his initial statement; (He said this not because he cared about the poor, but because he was a thief; he kept the common purse and used to steal what was put into it.) Judas words about the waste of something so expensive and the waste of using it to anoint Jesus feet don’t seem to be sincere and Jesus responds to that concept when he addresses Judas Iscariot. We are also reminded in Page 2 of 4 this text that Judas is one of his disciples (the one who was about to betray him).

  • OVERVIEW of the BIBLE the GOSPEL of LUKE October 3, 2018
    OVERVIEW OF THE BIBLE THE GOSPEL OF LUKE October 3, 2018 Lesson 26 – Mark John Mark: In Acts 12:12 we read that the mother of John Mark had a house in Jerusalem where the early church met. He was the cousin of Barnabas and a companion of Paul. 1 Peter 5:13 indicates that Peter had close ties with John Mark. It is probable that John Mark was in Rome with Peter during the last years of Peter’s life. Reactions to Jesus: The people were amazed at Jesus’ teachings because he taught as one with authority. Others thought he was out of his mind (Mark 3:20-30) and that he was possessed by Beelzebub. The scribes and Pharisees accused Jesus of breaking the Sabbath by picking grain on their day of rest and they condemned him when he healed on the Sabbath. Even the disciples were described as terrified when the wind and the waves obeyed Jesus and when he sent a legion of demons into a herd of swine. Responses to Jesus’ miracles: When the fever left Simon’s mother-in-law immediately she began to wait on the guests. When Jesus healed a man with leprosy he began to talk freely about what happened. But many followed him (especially those considered to be sinners). The Parable of the Sower likens the gospel message (the Word) to seed scattered on various soils. The receptivity of the soil is the main point of the parable. The Parable of the Growing Seed shows the mystery and the power of the seed.
