Luke

Chapter 22 (Continued)

22:33``But He {Peter} said to Him,
"Lord, I am ready to go with You . . .
both to prison and to death."

22:34``Now He {Jesus} replied,
"I tell you, Peter {Petros},
the rooster will absolutely not ever {ou me} crow today
  {ou me - double negative - very strong - literally 'absolutely not
  never'}
before you deny three times that you
'knew Me in the past with results that last forever'
  {oida - perfect tense}."

22:35``And He {Jesus} said to them,
"When I sent you off on a mission under My authority'
with no money bag, or traveler's bag, or sandals,
you didn't lack anything, did you?"

They replied, "Nothing."

22:36``Then He {Jesus} said to them,
"But in contrast {alla} now,
the one having and holding a money bag must take it {an order},
and likewise a traveler's bag also.

And the one having and holding no sword
must sell his cloak and buy one.

22:37`` For I {Jesus} tell you
that this {scripture} written in the past
with results that last forever -
must be completed/completed {teleo} in Me,
'And He was counted with the 'violators of the law' {anomos}.'

For indeed the things which have to do with Me
are at present having a consummation {telos}."

22:38``So they said, "Look, Lord, here . . . {are} two swords."

Then He {Jesus} told them,
"It is 'sufficient to meet the need' {hikanos}."

22:39``And, coming out,
He {Jesus} "continued on life's journey" {poreuomai},
as He normally would . . . to the Mount of Olives,
and the students/disciples
'followed Him as a student' {akoloutheo}.

22:40``Now having come to the place,
He {Jesus} said to them,
"Be praying {an order} . . .
that you do not enter {eiserchomai}
'the period of testing' {peirasmos}."

{Note: Peirasmos - is the word for 'testing for advancement' - the book of Job describes the extreme until Jesus. The end of Jesus' life of testing/temptations is coming fast.}

22:41-42``and He Himself went off {apospao}
from them about a stone's throw,
and having 'knelt down'/'fallen down on His knees',
He kept on praying, 22:42`` saying,
"Father, if {ei} You are 'of the mind to'/
'affectionately willing' {boulomai - indicative}
- and it is true, You are willing (1st class condition) -
remove this cup from Me.

Nevertheless, not My will . . . but Yours be done {an order}."

{Note: The deity of Jesus, as the 2nd member of the Godhead, had never touched sin or had anything to do with it. The humanity of Jesus was the same. Through His personal study, His detesting of sin was so great, He did not wish to have that 'cup of judgment' - the punishment the justice and righteousness of God demanded for each and every sin (the wages of sin is death) imputed to Him. During the period of time, His humanity was judged (3 hours) was the first time in His life, Jesus was separated from the God.}

{Note: The humanity of Jesus still had 'free will'. He could have said NO to the cross and God the Father would have accepted His decision. But, Jesus knew this had to be to release all mankind from the slave market of sin.}

22:43``And there appeared/'allowed himself to be seen' {optanomai},
an angel/messenger {aggelos} from heaven
strengthening Him {Jesus}.

222:44`` And beginning to be in agony {agonia },
He {Jesus} kept on praying more intensely {ektenesteron},
so His sweat became like drops of blood falling to the ground.

22:45``And, rising up from prayer,
He {Jesus} came to the students/disciples
and discovered them sleeping . . . 'worn out by grief'.

22:46``And, He {Jesus} said to them, "Why do you sleep?

Getting up . . . pray {an order}
that you may not enter {eiserchomai}
'the period of testing' {peirasmos}."

22:47``Then while He {Jesus} was speaking,
behold {pay attention} . . . {there came} a crowd,
and the one called Judas, one of the Twelve,
'was leading them'/'went before them'.

He walked up to Jesus . . . to kiss Him.

22:48``But Jesus said to him,
"Judas, are you betraying the 'Son of Man' with a kiss?"

22:49``And, those around Him,
having seen 'that which would follow'/'what was about to happen',
said to Him {Jesus},
"Lord, should we strike with the sword {machaira}?"

22:50``And, then a certain one of them
struck the slave of the high priest {archiereus}
and cut off his ear . . . the right one.

22:51 But Jesus answering/'giving a discerning answer
from the ultimate source of Himself' {apokrinomai}
said, "Be permitting {an order} until I do this."
  {Jesus is telling them to 'stop hindering His arrest' He must go to
  the cross remember they are still students and do not fully
  understand the meaning of all that is happening - all they know
  is they love the Lord and want to protect Him}

And touching his ear, He {Jesus} healed him {the injured slave}.

22:52``Then Jesus said to the chief priests
and captains/officers of the 'temple guard'
and elders {presbuteros} who had come out to {get} Him,
"As against a bandit/robber {lestes}
have you come out -in the past with results that last forever -
  {exerchomai - perfect tense}
with swords {machaira} and clubs/cudgels/shackles
  {xulon - is a wooden object that can be used as a club or to
  restrain the 'criminal'}?

22:53``And, daily . . . being with you in the temple . . .
you absolutely did not {ouk} lay hands on Me.

But, in contrast {alla} this is your hour,
and the authority {exousia} of darkness!"

22:54``Then 'seizing Him with violence' {sullambano},
they 'led Him away {like an animal}' {ago},
and 'led him into' {eisago} the high priest's house.

And, Peter kept on 'following like a student' {akoloutheo} . . .
'at a distance'/'from far off' {makrothen}.

{Note: Akoloutheo indicates the mental attitude of Peter as he followed his beloved Teacher. He still considers himself Jesus' student and thinks he is 'willing to follow Him into prison or death'.}

22:55``And after they had made a good fire
in the center of the 'uncovered courtyard'
and sat down together . . .
Peter sat down among them.

22:56``Then having seen him {Peter}
seated facing the light,
a certain young female slave said,
"This one kept on being with Him {Jesus} also!"

{Peter's 1st Denial of the Lord}
22:57``But Peter denied, saying, "Woman,
I absolutely do not {ouk} know Him
- in the past with results that last forever {oida - perfect tense}!"

{Peter's 2nd Denial of the Lord}
22:58``Then a little later another of a different kind {heteros }
seeing him {Peter} said,
"You are 'one of them too'/'of them also'!"

But Peter said, "Mister/Man {anthropos}, I am absolutely not {ouk}!"

22:59``And after an interval of about an hour
still another of the same of this certain kind {allos}
insisted/'asserted confidently' {diischurizomai} . . . saying,
"Of a truth . . . this one kept on being with Him also . . .
for, indeed, he too is a Galilean!"

{Peter's 2nd Denial of the Lord}
22:60``But Peter said,
"Mister/Man, I keep on absolutely not {ouk} knowing
- in the past with results that last forever - {oida - perfect tense}
what you are talking about!"

And, immediately, while he {Peter} was still speaking . . .
the rooster crowed.

22:61``And, the Lord . . . turning around . . . glanced at Peter.

And Peter remembered {hupomimnesko}
the Word of the Lord . . . that He {Jesus} had said to him,
"Before the rooster crows today,
you will deny Me three times."

22:62``And Peter, going out . . . wept bitterly.

{Note: Remember that Peter was still a student/disciple at this point. The Word is pointing out that as great a mature believer that Peter would become, he started out making mistakes - great mistakes. All the great men in the bible (excepting our Lord of course) are shown to be human and sinners and people who make great mistakes! All that proves is how 'small'/'nothingness' we ALL are without Him. He is everything and we are nothing. But by His grace, we can share in all that HE IS! We are rewarded, but the glory is all His!}

22:63``And the 'noble men' {aner}
who were 'holding Jesus under guard' {sunecho}
kept on mocking {empaizo} Him . . . {mental abuse}
and beating/thrashing/smiting {dero} Him {physical abuse}.

22:64``And, blindfolding Him {Jesus},
they kept on 'beating Him with their fists' {tupto} to His face . . .
and kept on interrogating {eperotao} Him saying,
"Prophesy! {propheteuo - an order}
Who is the one striking {paio} You?"

22:65``And blaspheming/slandering {blasphemeo}
many other things of a different kind {heteros},
they kept on saying against Him.

22:66-67``And, as soon as it became day,
the council of the elders of the people gathered together . . .
both the chief priests and the scribes/'experts in the law'.

And, they 'brought up'/'led into a higher place' {anago}
Him {Jesus} to their council saying 22:67``
"If {ei} you are the Christ - and it is true - {1st class condition},
  {this is the 1st class condition of assumption - meaning
  they assume that He says He is - they do not believe this}
tell us."

And He {Jesus} said to them {the counsel},
"If {ean} I would tell you
-maybe I will, maybe I will not {3rd class condition} -
you would 'absolutely not ever' {ou me} believe.
  {ou me - double negative - very strong negative - literally
  'absolutely not never'}

22:68``Now, if {ean} I possibly interrogate you
- maybe I will, maybe I will not {3rd class condition}
you would 'absolutely not ever' {ou me}
'have an answer for'/'give a discerning answer
from the ultimate source of yourself to'{apokrinomai } Me.

22:69``But from now on the Son of Man
will be seated at the right hand
of the power {dunamis} of God."

{Note: After the resurrection, Jesus Christ in Hypostatic Union - 100% Man and 100% Deity - in union forever and ever will be seated in heaven at the right hand of God. He is true Sovereignty in His Deity, true Jewish Sovereignty via being the Son of David, Lord of Lords, King of Kings, and our Great High Priest forever and ever! Amen!}

22:70``So they all said, "Are you then the Son of God?"

He said to them, "You said it".
  {idiom: literally "You say that I am." RBT said Jesus Christ is
  affirming here that He is the Son of God in the idiom of the day.
  And, that makes sense since the counsel is going to say this is
  'blasphemy' and the trial needs no further evidence.}

22:71``Then they said,
"Why do we need further testimony/witness {marturia}?
  {marturia - is the word from which we get 'martyr'. A martyr is a
  witness who is killed for what they say}
We ourselves have heard it from His own lips/mouth!"
