1 When he
had finished expressing his faith in The Heavenly Scroll and seeking Yahuah
on behalf of his brothers, Yahusha left with his Disciples to find the garden
across the Kidron Valley.
|
1 When he had finished
praying, Jesus left with his disciples and crossed the Kidron Valley. On the
other side there was a garden, and he and his disciples went into it.
|
|
2 Now Yahudah/Judas,
who betrayed him, knew the place well because Yahusha had often met there
with his Disciples.

came to the garden, guiding a detachment of soldiers and some officials from

weapons.

4 Yahusha,
knowing all that was going to happen to him, went out and asked them, Who is
it you want?
|
4 Jesus, knowing
all that was going to happen to him, went out and asked them, “Who is it you
want?”
|
|
5 Yahusha the
Nazarene, they replied. I am he, Yahusha said. (Yahudah/Judas
the traitor was standing there with soldiers.)
|
5 “Jesus of
Nazareth,” they replied. “I am he,” Jesus said.
(And Judas the traitor was standing there with them.)
|
|
6 When Yahusha
said, I am he, they drew back and ordered his Disciples to get on the ground.
|
6 When Jesus said,
“I
am he,”
they drew back and fell to the ground.

7 Again he
asked them, Who is it you want? Yahusha the Nazarene, they said.

8 Yahusha
answered, I told you that I am he. If you are looking for me, then let these
men go.
|
8 Jesus answered, “I told you that
I am he. If you are looking for me, then let these men go.”
|
|
9 Yahusha
said this so that the Words he had Spoken would be fulfilled: I have not lost
one of those You gave me (John 6:39).
|
9 This happened so
that the words he had spoken would be fulfilled: “I have not lost
one of those you gave me.”

|
10 Then Simon
Peter drew his sword and cut off the ear of the high priest’s servant (The
servant’s name was Malchus).
|
10 Then Simon
Peter, who had a sword, drew it and struck the high priest’s servant, cutting
off his right ear. (The servant’s name was Malchus.)

11 Yahusha ordered
Peter, Put your sword away! Shall I not drink the cup (constellation
CRATER - ‘the Cup’ seen during March/April (Passover) each year which
represents the Passover Cup his shed Blood to pay the dowry and redeem his
Bride at the end of the Age of ARIES The Lamb… when the Lamb dies the
meaning of Passover) the Father has given me (to fulfill
in The Heavenly Scroll)?
|
11 Jesus commanded
Peter, “Put
your sword away! Shall I not drink the cup the Father has given me?”
|
|
12 Then the
detachment of soldiers with its commander and the Jewish officials arrested Yahusha.
They bound him

13 and
brought him first to Annas, who was the father-in-law of Caiaphas (the
illegitimate high priest appointed by the procurator Valerius Gratus, under
Tiberius, 18 A.D. Yahusha was the legitimate High Priest of the House of Tsedek/Zadok
consecrated directly by Yahuah see Zechariah Chapter 3).
|
13 and brought him
first to Annas, who was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, the high priest that
year.
|
|
14 Caiaphas (acting on
Rome’s behalf) was the one who had advised the Jewish leaders
that it would be good if one man died for the people (he wanted
to kill his rival; the legit High Priest of Israel).

|
|
15 Simon Peter
and the ‘other Disciple’, Yahusha’s loved one (Miriam
Magdalene),
were following Yahusha (Miriam never left the side of her
husband).
Because Miriam of Magdala was known to the high priest (to be his
Family/Wife), she went with Yahusha into the high priest’s
courtyard (you had to be related to the prisoner to enter the courts),
|
15 Simon Peter and
another disciple were following Jesus. Because this disciple was known to the
high priest, he went with Jesus into the high priest’s courtyard,
|
|
16 but Peter
had to wait outside at the door (because he was no relation to Yahusha). Miriam,
who was known to the high priest (to be his Wife), came
back, spoke to the servant girl on duty there and brought Peter in.

17 You
aren’t one of this man’s Disciples too, are you? she asked Peter. He replied,
I am not.
|
17 “You
aren’t one of this man’s disciples too, are you?” she asked Peter. He
replied, “I am not.”
|
|
18 It was
cold, and the servants and officials stood around a fire they had made to
keep warm. Peter said he was just there standing with them, ‘keeping himself
warm’ (denying he was there with Yahusha).

the servants and officials stood around a fire they had made to keep warm.
Peter also was standing with them, warming himself.
|
|
19
Meanwhile, the high priest questioned Yahusha about his Disciples and
his teaching (he was asked to explain his
teachings that The Kingdom proclaimed in The Heavenly Scroll was at hand, the
conversation between the high priest and Yahusha was lengthy).
|
19 Meanwhile, the
high priest questioned Jesus about his disciples and his teaching.
|
|
20 I have
spoken openly what is written in the stars and proclaimed day after day,
night after night to all the world (Psalm 19, Matthew
4:16,17),
Yahusha replied.
|
20 “I have spoken
openly to the world,” Jesus replied. “I always taught in synagogues or
at the temple, where all the Jews come together. I said nothing in secret.
|
|
21 Why
question me? Ask those who heard me, they know what I said.
|
21 Why question me?
Ask those who heard me. Surely they know what I said.”
|
|
22 When Yahusha
said this, one of the officials nearby slapped him in the face. Is this the
way you answer the high priest? he demanded.
|
22 When Jesus said
this, one of the officials nearby slapped him in the face. “Is this the way
you answer the high priest?” he demanded.
|
|
23 If I have
been deceitful, Yahusha replied, testify as to how I am guilty of deceit (Isaiah 53:9).
|
23 “If I said
something wrong,” Jesus replied, “testify as to what is wrong. But
if I spoke the truth, why did you strike me?”
|
|
24 Then
Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas the high priest.

him bound to Caiaphas the high priest.

Meanwhile, Simon Peter was still standing there keeping warm. So they asked
him, You aren’t one of his Disciples too, are you? He denied it, saying, I am
not.

Simon Peter was still standing there warming himself. So they asked him, “You

26 One of
the high priest’s servants, a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut
off, challenged him, Didn’t I see you with him in the garden?
|
26 One of the high
priest’s servants, a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off,
challenged him, “Didn’t I see you with him in the garden?”

27 Again Peter
denied it, and at that moment a rooster began to crow.

28 Then the
Jewish leaders took Yahusha from Caiaphas to the palace of the Roman
governor. By now it was early morning of the 14th, the Passover,
and to avoid their traditions of ceremonial uncleanness they did not enter
the palace, because they wanted to be able to eat the Passover Meal eaten on
the first day of the feast of Unleavened Bread that evening at sunset of the
15th after the lambs had been slaughtered the afternoon of
Passover.

29 So Pilate
came out to them and asked, What charges are you bringing against this man?
|
29 So Pilate came
out to them and asked, “What charges are you bringing against this man?”
|
|
30 He is
guilty of deceiving the people that he is God, claiming to be King, and
inciting his followers to violently take the throne from Caesar. If he were not
guilty of breaking our Laws, they replied, we would not have handed him over
to you.
|
30 “If he were not
a criminal,” they replied, “we would not have handed him over to you.”
|
|
31 Pilate
said, Take him yourselves and judge him by your own traditions. But we have
no right to execute anyone, they objected.
|
31 Pilate
said, “Take him yourselves and judge him by your own law.” “But we have no
right to execute anyone,” they objected.
|
|
32 This took
place to fulfill what Yahusha had said about the kind of death he was going
to die.
|
32 This took place
to fulfill what Jesus had said about the kind of death he was going to die.
|
|
33 Pilate
then went back inside the palace, summoned Yahusha and interrogated Yahusha
to see if the charges were true that he claimed to be King and was organizing
an uprising against Rome, Are you the King of the Jews?
|
33 Pilate then went
back inside the palace, summoned Jesus and asked him, “Are you the king of
the Jews?”
|
|
34
Is
that your impression of me, Yahusha asked, or did others tell you I said that?
|
34 “Is that your own
idea,”
Jesus asked, “or
did others talk to you about me?”
|
|
35 Am I a
Jew, I know nothing of your prophecies? Pilate replied. Your own people and Chief
Priests handed you over to me and said you claimed to be King; wanting me to
execute you for inciting violence against Rome. What is it you have done
against Rome? (Yahusha was brought up on charges of deceiving the
people that he was “God” which is blasphemy and inciting violence in
fulfillment of Isaiah 53:9).
|
35 “Am I a Jew?”
Pilate replied. “Your own people and chief priests handed you over to me.
What is it you have done?”
|
|
36 Yahusha explained
that he was no threat to Rome and did not incite his Disciples to violence,
My Kingdom is not of this Physical Realm. If it were, my servants would
fight to prevent my arrest by the Jewish leaders and forcefully install me as
King. But no, my Kingdom is from the Spiritual Realm, so neither I nor any of
my followers are a threat to Rome.
|
36 Jesus said, “My kingdom is
not of this world. If it were, my servants would fight to prevent my arrest
by the Jewish leaders. But now my kingdom is from another place.”
|
|
37 You are a
King then! said Pilate (trying to determine if he was a
threat).
Yahusha answered, What you say is True, I am The King (now Yahusha
had to teach Pilate what that means in context of The Heavenly Scroll and his
role to first come and die before he would return at the end of the Age of PISCES,
or he would have been killed by Rome for claiming to be King). In
fact, it is for that reason I came in the flesh (outside any
Divine Influence) and I came into being in the world (created at
the end of the 4th Prophetic Day as foretold in the stars) to
testify to the Truth proclaimed in The Heavenly Scroll. Everyone who puts
their faith in The Word of His Testimony which is True (connecting
the visible facts proclaimed in the stars to the underlying Spiritual Reality
of The Plan of Salvation: g228 true – ‘connecting visible fact to its
underlying reality’) listens to me who came to fulfill
it.”
|
37 “You
are a king, then!” said Pilate. Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. In
fact, the reason I was born and came into the world is to testify to the
truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to me.”
|
|
38 What is this
Truth (proclaimed in the stars? Pilate and Yahusha have a lengthy
discussion as he was interrogated and Yahusha “taught The Kingdom proclaimed
in The Heavenly Scroll is at hand” so Pilate would realize Yahusha was no
threat to Rome, he was going to assume the Throne in Heaven Daniel 7 and
Revelation 5 not on Earth. This is why Pilate found him innocent and no
threat even though he just said he was King. Normally anyone who claimed to
be King would be executed on the spot by Rome!)? With
this confirmation from Yahusha that he was neither a King in this world, a
threat to Rome, or inciting violence to overthrow Roman occupation of Israel;
he went out again to the Chief Priests and Pharisees who had gathered there
and said, I find no basis for a charge against him.
|
38 “What is truth?”
retorted Pilate. With this he went out again to the Jews gathered there and
said, “I find no basis for a charge against him.
|
|
39 But it is
your custom for me to release to you one prisoner at the time of The
Passover. Do you want me to release ‘The King of The Jews’?
|
39 But it is your
custom for me to release to you one prisoner at the time of the Passover. Do
you want me to release ‘the king of the Jews’?”
|
|
40 They
shouted back, No, not him! Give us Barabbas! Now Barabbas, a Zealot, had
taken part in an uprising (Barabbas was a Zealot not a “thief”,
you don’t execute thieves. You make examples of those who fight against Roman
occupation).
|
40 They shouted
back, “No, not him! Give us Barabbas!” Now Barabbas had taken part in an
uprising.
