LUKE LESSON 81 HANDOUT Luke 22:39 71 (AMP) 39 And He came out and went, as was His habit, to the Mount of Olives, and the disciples also followed Him. 40 And when He came to the place, He said to them, pray that you may not [at all] enter into temptation. 41 And He withdrew from them about a stone s throw and knelt down and prayed, 42 Saying, Father, if You are willing, remove this cup from Me; yet not My will, but [always] Yours be done. 43 And there appeared to Him an angel from heaven, strengthening Him in spirit. 44 And being in an agony [of mind], He prayed [all the] more earnestly and intently, and His sweat became like great clots of blood dropping down upon the ground. 45 And when He got up from prayer, He came to the disciples and found them sleeping from grief, 46 And He said to them, Why do you sleep? Get up and pray that you may not enter [at all] into temptation. 47 And while He was still speaking, behold, there came a crowd, and the man called Judas, one of the Twelve [apostles], was going before [leading] them. He drew near to Jesus to kiss Him, 48 But Jesus said to him, Judas! Would you betray and deliver up the Son of Man with a kiss? 49 And when those who were around Him saw what was about to happen, they said, Lord, shall we strike with the sword? 50 And one of them struck the bond servant of the high priest and cut off his ear, the right one. 51 But Jesus said, Permit them to go so far [as to seize Me]. And He touched the little (insignificant) ear and healed him. 52 Then Jesus said to those who had come out against Him the chief priests and captains of the temple and 1
elders [of the Sanhedrin] Have you come out with swords and clubs as [you would] against a robber? 53 When I was with you day after day in the temple [enclosure], you did not stretch forth [your] hands against Me. But this is your hour and the power [which] darkness [gives you has its way]. 54 Then they seized Him and led Him away, bringing Him into the house of the high priest. Peter was following at a distance. LUKE 22:41 And He withdrew from them about a stone s throw and knelt down and prayed, 42 Saying, Father, if You are willing, remove this cup from Me; yet not My will, but [always] Yours be done. John 18:3 So Judas came to the garden, guiding a detachment (band) of soldiers and some officials from the chief priests and the Pharisees. They were carrying torches, lanterns and weapons. Matthew 26:52 53 (AMP) 52 Then Jesus said to him, put your sword back into its place, for all who draw the sword will die by the sword. 53 Do you suppose that I cannot appeal to My Father, and He will immediately provide Me with more than twelve legions [more than 80,000] of angels? LUKE 22:55 And when they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and were seated together, Peter sat among them. 56 Then a servant girl, seeing him as he sat in the firelight and gazing [intently] at him, said, This man too was with Him. 57 But he denied it and said, Woman, I do not know Him! 58 And a little later someone else saw him and said, You are one of them also. But Peter said, Man, I am not! 2
59 And when about an hour more had elapsed, still another emphatically insisted, It is the truth that this man also was with Him, for he too is a Galilean! 60 But Peter said, Man, I do not know what you are talking about. And instantly, while he was still speaking, the cock crowed. 61 And the Lord turned and looked at Peter. And Peter recalled the Lord s words, how He had told him, Before the cock crows today, you will deny Me thrice. 62 And he went out and wept bitterly [that is, with painfully moving grief]. 63 Now the men who had Jesus in custody treated Him with contempt and scoffed at and ridiculed Him and beat Him; 64 They blindfolded Him also and asked Him, Prophesy! Who is it that struck You? 65 And they said many other evil and slanderous and insulting words against Him, reviling Him. 66 As soon as it was day, the assembly of the elders of the people gathered together, both chief priests and scribes; and they led Him into their council (the Sanhedrin), and they said, 67 If You are the Christ (the Messiah), tell us. But He said to them, If I tell you, you will not believe (trust in, cleave to, and rely on what I say), 68 And if I question you, you will not answer. 69 But hereafter (from this time on), the Son of Man shall be seated at the right hand of the power of God. 70 And they all said, You are the Son of God, then? And He said to them, It is just as you say; I AM. 71 And they said, What further evidence do we need? For we have heard [it] ourselves from His own mouth! LUKE 22:55 And when they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and were seated together, Peter sat among them. 3
56 Then a servant girl, seeing him as he sat in the firelight and gazing [intently] at him, said, This man too was with Him. 57 But he denied it and said, Woman, I do not know Him! 58 And a little later someone else saw him and said, You are one of them also. But Peter said, Man, I am not! 59 And when about an hour more had elapsed, still another emphatically insisted, It is the truth that this man also was with Him, for he too is a Galilean! 60 But Peter said, Man, I do not know what you are talking about. And instantly, while he was still speaking, the cock crowed. 61 And the Lord turned and looked at Peter. And Peter recalled the Lord s words, how He had told him, Before the cock crows today, you will deny Me thrice. 62 And he went out and wept bitterly [that is, with painfully moving grief]. Psalm 103:14 For he knows how weak we are; he remembers we are only dust. 4

Hebrews 13:12 (NIV) 12 And so Jesus also suffered outside the city gate to make the people holy through his own blood. John 19:20 (NIV) 20 Many of the Jews read this sign, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and the sign was written in Aramaic, Latin and Greek. Matthew 27:39 (NIV) 39 Those who passed by hurled insults at him, shaking their heads Mark 15:21 (NIV) 21 A certain man from Cyrene, Simon, the father of Alexander and Rufus, was passing by on his way in from the country, and they forced him to carry the cross. John 19:41 (NIV) 41 At the place where Jesus was crucified, there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb, in which no one had ever been laid. Luke 23 1 Then the whole body of them got up and brought Him before Pilate. 2 And they began to accuse Him, saying, We found this man misleading our nation and forbidding to pay taxes to Caesar, and saying that He Himself is Christ, a King. 3 So Pilate asked Him, saying, Are You the King of the Jews? And He answered him and said, It is as you say. 4 Then Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, I find no guilt in this man. 5 But they kept on insisting, saying, He stirs up the people, teaching all over Judea, starting from Galilee even as far as this place. 7
6 When Pilate heard it, he asked whether the man was a Galilean. 7 And when he learned that He belonged to Herod s jurisdiction, he sent Him to Herod, who himself also was in Jerusalem at that time. 8 Now Herod was very glad when he saw Jesus; for he had wanted to see Him for a long time, because he had been hearing about Him and was hoping to see some sign performed by Him. 9 And he questioned Him at some length; but He answered him nothing. 10 And the chief priests and the scribes were standing there, accusing Him vehemently. 11 And Herod with his soldiers, after treating Him with contempt and mocking Him, dressed Him in a gorgeous robe and sent Him back to Pilate. 12 Now Herod and Pilate became friends with one another that very day; for before they had been enemies with each other. 13 Pilate summoned the chief priests and the rulers and the people, 14 and said to them, You brought this man to me as one who incites the people to rebellion, and behold, having examined Him before you, I have found no guilt in this man regarding the charges which you make against Him. 15 No, nor has Herod, for he sent Him back to us; and behold, nothing deserving death has been done by Him. 16 Therefore I will punish Him and release Him. 17 Now he was obliged to release to them at the feast one prisoner. 18 But they cried out all together, saying, Away with this man, and release for us Barabbas! 19 (He was one who had been thrown into prison for an insurrection made in the city, and for murder.) 20 Pilate, wanting to release Jesus, addressed them again, 21 but they kept on calling out, saying, Crucify, crucify Him! 8
22 And he said to them the third time, Why, what evil has this man done? I have found in Him no guilt demanding death; therefore I will punish Him and release Him. 23 But they were insistent, with loud voices asking that He be crucified. And their voices began to prevail. 24 And Pilate pronounced sentence that their demand be granted. 25 And he released the man they were asking for who had been thrown into prison for insurrection and murder, but he delivered Jesus to their will. 8 Now Herod was very glad when he saw Jesus; for he had wanted to see Him for a long time, because he had been hearing about Him and was hoping to see some sign performed by Him. 9 And he questioned Him at some length; but He answered him nothing. Someone once said that at twenty, we worry about what people think about us. At forty, we don t care what people think about us. At sixty, we find out that people haven t been thinking about us at all! Max Anders, 9
