Unit 2 Session #7 & 8

The Later Judean/Perean Ministry and the Passion Week

For a timeline and precise chronological record of Jesus’

later Judean and Perean ministry –we look to the Book of

John

Someone in class read: John 7: 1-10, The Feast of

Tabernacles, from 15th week through 21st week of Tishri

(Sept) This starts Jesus’ final phase of ministry before the

crucifixion.

John 8 –10 = Jesus teaching about Who He is; healing the

man born blind; and the teaching of the Good Shepherd.

Read John 10: 22 - 42

The Feast of Dedication = 25th day of Kislev (end of Nov –beginning

of Dec)

John 10: 40 gives evidence of Jesus’ ministry in Perea. He was

rejected in Jerusalem (Feast of Dedication) and crossed the Jordan

to Perea where He stayed until the Feast of Passover –John 11: 54.

While Jesus and His Disciples were on their way back to Jerusalem,

Jesus warned them that He would be killed and would rise from the

dead…this would be His final earthly ministry before the Feast of

Passover.

Summary of Jesus’ Later Judean

and Perean Ministry

Passion Week:

The last week of Jesus’ earthly life is called the Passion Week.

Latin: “passio” = suffering and enduring

This emphasizes the suffering of a blameless Christ as He submitted

to and willingly endured the afflictions on Him by the people whom He

came to redeem.

Passion Week actually focuses on Jesus’ last two days of His public

ministry. Includes: the Last Supper, prayer & agony in Gethsemane;

His arrest, trials, crucifixion, death, and burial. This term was already

being used as early as the 2nd century.

The Days of Jesus’

Passion

Mt. Olivet Discourse (End times Teaching)

Matt 24:1-24:46; Mark 13:1-37; and Luke 21:5-36

•Discourse on the Tuesday of the Passion Week on the Mount of

Olives

•The longest discourse in the Synoptic Gospels

•Considered the most difficult passages in the Bible to interpret

•Jesus describes signs that will mark history before the coming of

Christ, such as wars, famines, earthquakes, and false prophets

•Related passages: Daniel 9: 24-27, Rev. 6: 1- 19:21, John 14: 1-4,

I Corinthians 15: 51-52, and I Thess. 4: 13 -18

All 3 Synoptic Gospels

emphasize Day 3 of the

Passion Week – “The Olivet

Discourse/teaching”. He

taught about future events

like the destruction of the

Temple and of Jerusalem

and His 2nd Coming

Let’s look at the Lord’s

Supper (Communion or

Eucharist): Matt 26: 26-30;

Mark 14: 22-26; Luke 22:

14-20 and I Cor 11: 23-32

Unit #2 Session #8

The Arrest, Trial, Crucifixion, and Resurrection

Gethsemane and the Arrest

Gethsemane is located across the Kidron Valley, east of the Temple

at the foot of Mt of Olives

Jesus often would go to Mt Olives for prayer –Luke 22: 39

Matt 26: 36 and Mark 14: 32 state “a place called

Gethsemane”

Gethsemane is where Jesus truly won the victory as He submitted

to the will of the Father regardless of the cost.

Peter, James and John fell asleep! The spirit is willing but the flesh

is weak…Luke said they were exhausted with sorrow (Luke 22:45)

Jesus –a Model of surrender and submission

Who Wrote

That?

Mark

Mentions a young man, wearing only a

linen garment, who was following

Jesus and was seized but slipped out

of his garment and fled naked

John

Notes the name of the disciple (Peter)

who cut off the ear of the high priest’s

servant and the name of the servant

(Malchus)

Luke

Only Gospel writer to mention that

Jesus healed the ear of the high

priest’s servant

Matthew

Indicated that Christ could have called

for twelve legions of angels to rescue

Him

Page 2 of the Trials of

Jesus

The Trial:

The trials before Annas, Caiaphas, and the Sanhedrin were Jewish

trials

The trials before Pilate and Herod were Roman

The Roman trials would have dismissed Jesus, however the Jewish

court was determined to condemn Jesus. Jewish court did not have

the power to put a prisoner to death.

Peter identified as a follower of Jesus most likely because of his

apparel and his accent. He was definitely a Galilean.

It was Herod Antipas who tried Jesus –same one who murdered

John the baptizer

Let’s look at Judas’ change of heart…

Problems with His trials: was done at night; there were no defense

witnesses; their witnesses told conflicting stories; the original

charges against Jesus were not the same as the final condemning

charge; death sentence normally not pronounce until the day after

trial, etc.…

The Crucifixion and Burial:

From beginning to end, approximately 15 hours from first trial to

crucifixion.

Arrested at midnight; by rooster’s crow He was being tried before

Caiaphas; around 9 am Jesus was crucified…6 hrs approximately

passed between His crucifixion and His death: from 9am –noon the

soldiers cast lots for Jesus’ garments, then darkness came over the

whole land and then Jesus died…

Seven Sayings

from the Cross:

Event to note:

The curtain torn from top down in the Temple, earth shook, and rocks split;

Tombs of some believers were opened and those raised were seen by many

in Jerusalem (I Cor, Paul says over 500 people saw the resurrected and

Jesus!).

Jesus’ burial: Read John 19: 31-37. It was significant that Jesus die before

the soldiers broke his legs, why? What was the significance of blood and

water flowing from His side when the soldier pierced Him? (blood for

forgiveness and water for cleansing)

Who were Nicodemus and Joseph of Arimathea? What part did they have in

Jesus’ burial? What can we say about their view of the Sanhedrin’s

judgement?

The Resurrection:

Jesus was crucified on Friday & rose on Sunday…Jewish tradition

consider this 3 days.

Look at: Matt 28: 1-20; Mark 16: 1-20; and Luke 24: 1-53… examine

the events of the Resurrection

Harmony of

Christ’s Post-

Resurrection

Appearances

Jesus’ first post-resurrection appearance was to women –1st to Mary

Magdalene then to the other women

Then he appeared to either the two men on their way to Emmaus or

to Peter

The Ascension:

Mark 16: 19; Luke 24: 51 and Acts 1: 11
