Thursday Night - Passover

Celebration of the Passover – Luke 22:14-17 (Matthew 26:20, Mark 14:17, 18, John 13:1)

^{Luke 22:24}And there was also a strife among them, which of them should be accounted the greatest. ^{John 13:3}  Yeshua, knowing that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that He was come from God, and went to God; ⁴ He riseth from supper, and laid aside His garments; and took a towel, and girded Himself. ⁵After that He poureth water into a basin, and began to wash the disciples’ feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith He was girded.

⁶Then cometh He to Simon Peter: and Peter saith unto Him, “Lord, dost thou wash my feet?”

⁷ Yeshua answered and said unto him, “What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter.”

⁸ Peter saith unto Him, “Thou shalt never wash my feet.”

Yeshua answered him, “If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with Me.”

⁹Simon Peter saith unto Him, “Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head.”

¹⁰ Yeshua saith to him, “He that is washed needeth not save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are clean, but not all”. ¹¹For He knew who should betray Him; therefore said He, “Ye are not all clean.”

¹² So after He had washed their feet, and had taken His garments, and was set down again, He said unto them, “Know ye what I have done to you?

¹³ Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am. ¹⁴If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another’s feet. ¹⁵For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you.

^{Luke 22:25}And He said unto them, “The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors. ²⁶But ye shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve. ²⁷For whether is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? Is not he that sitteth at meat? But I am among you as he that serveth. ^{John 13:16}Verily, verily, I say unto you, the servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him. ¹⁷If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them.

^{Luke 22:28}Ye are they which have continued with Me in My temptations. ²⁹And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as My Father hath appointed unto Me; ³⁰ that ye may eat and drink at My table in My kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

^{John 13:18}I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen: but that the scripture may be fulfilled, ‘He that eateth bread with Me hath lifted up his heel against Me,’ (Psalms 41:9) ¹⁹ Now I tell you before it come, that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe that I Am He.

²⁰Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth Me; and he that receiveth Me receiveth Him that sent Me. 

^{Matthew 26:26}And as they were eating, Yeshua took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, “Take, eat; this is my body ^{Luke 22:19} which is given for you: this do in remembrance of Me.”

^{Mark 14:23a}And He took the cup ^{Luke 22:20} after supper, and when He had given thanks, He gave it to them; ^{Matthew 26:27} saying, “Drink ye all of it; ²⁸For this (cup –Luke) is My blood of the new testament, which is shed for many (Luke - for you) for the remission of sins.  ^{Mark 14: 25}Verily I say unto you, ^{Matthew 26:29}  I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in My Father’s kingdom (Mark - the kingdom of God)”, ^{Mark 14:23b} and they all drank of it.

 ^{John 13:2}And supper being ended, the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray Him, ^{John 13: 27} after the sop Satan entered into him.

^{Matthew 26:25a} Then Judas, which betrayed Him, answered and said, “Master, is it I?”

^{John 13:27b} Then said Yeshua unto him, ^{Matthew 26:25b} “Thou hast said. ^{John 13:27c}That thou doest, do quickly.”

²⁸Now no man at the table knew for what intent He spake this unto him. ²⁹For some of them thought, because Judas had the bag, that Yeshua had said unto him, “Buy those things that we have need of against the feast;” or, that he should give something to the poor. ³⁰He then having received the sop went immediately out: and it was night.

^{John 13:31} Therefore, when he was gone out, Yeshua said, “Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in Him. ³²If God be glorified in Him, God shall also glorify Him in Himself, and shall straightway glorify Him.”

³³  “Little children, yet a little while I am with you. Ye shall seek Me: and as I said unto the Jews, ‘Whither I go, ye cannot come;’ so now I say to you.

³⁴ “A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. ³⁵By this shall all men know that ye are My disciples, if ye have love one to another.”

³⁶Simon Peter said unto Him, “Lord, whither goest thou?”

Yeshua answered him, “Whither I go, thou canst not follow Me now; but thou shalt follow Me afterwards.”

³⁷Peter said unto Him, “Lord, why cannot I follow Thee now? I will lay down my life for Thy sake.” 

^{Matthew 26:31} Then saith Yeshua unto them, “All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, ‘I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad.’ (Zechariah 13:7) ³² But after I am risen again, I will go before you into Galilee.”

³³Peter answered and said unto Him, “Though all men shall be offended because of thee, yet will I never be offended.”

^{Mark 14:30} And Yeshua saith unto him, “Verily I say unto thee, That this day, even in this night, before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny Me thrice.”

³¹But he spake the more vehemently, “If I should die with Thee, I will not deny Thee in any wise.”

Likewise also said they all.

^{1 “}I am the true vine, and My Father is the husbandman. ²Every branch in Me that beareth not fruit He taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, He purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.

³ Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. ⁴ Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in Me. ⁵I am The Vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in Me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without Me ye can do nothing. ⁶If a man abide not in Me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. ⁷If ye abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. ⁸Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be My disciples.

⁹As the Father hath loved Me, so have I loved you: continue ye in My love. ¹⁰If ye keep My commandments, ye shall abide in My love; even as I have kept My Father’s commandments, and abide in His love. ¹¹These things have I spoken unto you, that My joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.

¹²  This My commandment, ‘That ye love one another, as I have loved you.’ (John 13:34) ¹³Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. ¹⁴Ye are My friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.

¹⁵ Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of My Father I have made known unto you. ¹⁶Ye have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in My name, He may give it you.

¹⁷ These things I command you, that ye love one another.”

¹⁸ If the world hate you, ye know that it hated Me before it hated you. ¹⁹If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.

²⁰Remember the word that I said unto you, ‘The servant is not greater than his lord.’(John 13:16) If they have persecuted Me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept My saying, they will keep yours also. ²¹But all these things will they do unto you for My name’s sake, because they know not Him that sent Me. ²²If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloak for their sin. ²³He that hateth Me hateth My Father also. ²⁴If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both Me and My Father. ²⁵But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, “They hated me without a cause.” (Psalms 69:4)

²⁶But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, He shall testify of Me: ²⁷And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with Me from the beginning.

^{John 16:1}These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended. ²They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service. ³And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor Me. ⁴But these things have I told you, that when the time shall come, ye may remember that I told you of them. And these things I said not unto you at the beginning, because I was with you. ⁵But now I go My way to Him that sent Me; and none of you asketh Me, ‘Whither goest thou?’ ⁶But because I have said these things unto you, sorrow hath filled your heart.”

⁷ “Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send Him unto you. ⁸And when He is come, He will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:

⁹ Of sin, because they believe not on Me;

¹⁰ Of righteousness, because I go to My Father, and ye see Me no more;

¹¹ Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.

¹² I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. ¹³Howbeit when He, the Spirit of truth, is come, He will guide you into all truth: for He shall not speak of Himself; but whatsoever He shall hear, that shall He speak: and He will show you things to come.

¹⁴ He shall glorify Me: for He shall receive of Mine, and shall show it unto you. ¹⁵All things that the Father hath are Mine: therefore said I, that He shall take of Mine, and shall show it unto you.

¹⁶A little while, and ye shall not see Me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see Me, because I go to the Father.”

¹⁷ Then said some of His disciples among themselves, “What is this that He saith unto us, ‘A little while, and ye shall not see Me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see Me:’ and, ‘Because I go to the Father’? ¹⁸They said therefore, “What is this that He saith, ‘A little while’? we cannot tell what He saith”.

¹⁹ Now Yeshua knew that they were desirous to ask Him, and said unto them, “Do ye inquire among yourselves of that I said, ‘A little while, and ye shall not see Me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see Me?’ ²⁰Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy.

²¹A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world.

²²And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you. ²³And in that day ye shall ask Me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in My name, He will give it you. ²⁴Hitherto have ye asked nothing in My name: Ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.

²⁵These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs: but the time cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs, but I shall show you plainly of the Father. ²⁶At that day ye shall ask in My name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for you: ²⁷For the Father Himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God.

²⁸I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world. Again: I leave the world, and go to the Father.”

²⁹His disciples said unto Him, “Lo, now speakest Thou plainly, and speakest no proverb. ³⁰Now are we sure that Thou knowest all things, and needest not that any man should ask Thee: By this we believe that Thou camest forth from God.”

³¹Yeshua answered them, “Do ye now believe? ³²Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is now come, that ye shall be scattered, every man to his own, and shall leave Me alone: And yet I am not alone, because the Father is with Me. ³³These things I have spoken unto you, that in Me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.”

¹These words spake Yeshua, and lifted up His eyes to heaven, and said, “Father, the hour is come; glorify Thy Son, that Thy Son also may glorify Thee: ²As thou hast given Him power over all flesh, that He should give eternal life to as many as Thou hast given Him. ³And this is life eternal, that they might know Thee the only true God, and Yeshua the Anointed One, whom Thou hast sent. ⁴I have glorified Thee on the earth: I have finished the work which Thou gavest Me to do. ⁵And now, O Father, glorify Thou Me with Thine own self, with the glory which I had with Thee before the world was.

⁶I have manifested Thy name unto the men which Thou gavest Me out of the world: Thine they were, and Thou gavest them Me; and they have kept Thy word. ⁷Now they have known that all things whatsoever Thou hast given Me are of Thee. ⁸For I have given unto them the words which Thou gavest Me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from Thee, and they have believed that Thou didst send Me. ⁹I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which Thou hast given Me; for they are Thine. ¹⁰And all Mine are Thine, and Thine are Mine; and I am glorified in them.

¹¹ And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to Thee. Holy Father, keep through Thine own name those whom Thou hast given Me, that they may be one, as we are. ¹² While I was with them in the world, I kept them in Thy name: those that thou gavest Me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled. ³And now come I to Thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have My joy fulfilled in themselves. ¹⁴I have given them Thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. ¹⁵I pray not that Thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that Thou shouldest keep them from the evil. ¹⁶They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

¹⁷Sanctify them through Thy truth: Thy word is truth. ¹⁸As Thou hast sent Me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world. ¹⁹And for their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.

²⁰Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on Me through their word; ²¹That they all may be one; as Thou, Father, art in Me, and I in Thee, that they also may be one in Us: that the world may believe that Thou hast sent Me. ²²And the glory which Thou gavest Me I have given them; that they may be one, even as We are one: ²³I in them, and Thou in Me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that Thou hast sent Me, and hast loved them, as Thou hast loved Me

²⁴Father, I will that they also, whom Thou hast given Me, be with Me where I am; that they may behold My glory, which Thou hast given Me: for Thou lovedst Me before the foundation of the world. ²⁵O righteous Father, the world hath not known Thee: but I have known Thee, and these have known that Thou hast sent Me. ²⁶And I have declared unto them Thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith Thou hast loved Me may be in them, and I in them.

^{John 18:1}When Yeshua had spoken these words, He went forth with His disciples over the brook Cedron, where was a garden, into the which He entered, and His disciples. ²And Judas also, which betrayed Him, knew the place: for Yeshua ofttimes resorted thither with His disciples.

^{Luke 22:40a} And when He was at the place, ^{Mark 14:32b} which was named Gethsemane: ^{Luke 22:40b} He said unto them, ^{Matthew 26:36b “}Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder. ^{Luke 22:40c} Pray that ye enter not into temptation.”

^{Matthew 26:37}And He took with Him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee (James and John – Mark), and began to be sorrowful (Mark - sour amazed) and very heavy. ³⁸Then saith He unto them, “My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with Me.”

^39a And he went (forward –Mark) a little further, ^{Luke 22:41b} about a stone’s cast, and kneeled down ^{Matthew 26:39b} and fell on His face ^{Mark 14:33} on the ground, and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from Him. ³⁶And He said, “Abba, Father, all things are possible unto Thee; take away this cup from Me: nevertheless not what I will, but what Thou wilt. (Matthew - O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from Me: nevertheless not as I will, but as Thou wilt)”

^{Matthew 26:40}And He cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, ^{Mark 14:37b “}Simon, sleepest thou? couldest not thou watch ^{Matthew 26:40} with Me one hour?  ^{Mark 14:38}Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The spirit truly is ready (Matthew - willing), but the flesh is weak.”

³⁹And again He went away (the second time – Matthew), and prayed, and spake the same words, ^{Luke 22:42} “Father, if Thou be willing, remove this cup from Me: nevertheless not My will, but Thine, be done.”

^{Mark 14:40a}And when He returned, He found them asleep again, (for their eyes were heavy,) ^{Luke 22:46} and said unto them, “Why sleep ye? Rise and pray, lest ye enter into temptation,” ^{Mark 14:40b} neither wist they what to answer Him.

^{Matthew 26:44}And He left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words. ^{Matthew 26:42}  “O My Father, if this cup may not pass away from Me, except I drink it, Thy will be done.” ^{Luke 22:44}And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground. ^{Luke 22:43}And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him.

^{Luke 22:45} And when He rose up from prayer, and was come to His disciples (the third time – Mark), He found them sleeping for sorrow, ^{Mark 14:41} and saith unto them, “Sleep on now, and take your rest….”

“It is enough, the hour is come (at hand – Matthew): Behold, the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. ⁴²Rise up.  Let us go. Lo, he that betrayeth Me is at hand.”

⁴³ And immediately, ^{Matthew 26:47} while He yet spake, lo, Judas, one of the twelve, ^{John 18:3} having received a band of men and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns and torches and weapons; ^{Mark 14:43b} a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders. ⁴⁴And he that betrayed Him had given them a token (Matthew – sign), saying, “Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is He; take Him, (hold Him fast, – Matthew) and lead Him away safely.”

⁴⁵ And as soon as he was come, he goeth straightway to Him, and saith, “Master, master (Matthew - Hail, master);” and kissed Him.

^{Matthew 26:50} And Yeshua said unto him, “Friend, wherefore art thou come? ^{Luke 22:48}   Betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss?”

^{John 18:4} Yeshua therefore, knowing all things that should come upon Him, went forth, and said unto them, “Whom seek ye?”

⁵They answered him, “Yeshua of Nazareth.”

Yeshua saith unto them, “I AM he” And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with them. ⁶As soon then as he had said unto them, “I AM he,” they went backward, and fell to the ground.

⁷Then asked He them again, “Whom seek ye?”

And they said, “Yeshua of Nazareth”.

⁸ Yeshua answered, “I have told you that I am he: if therefore ye seek Me, let these go their way:” ⁹That the saying might be fulfilled, which he spake, “Of them which thou gavest me have I lost none.” (John 17:12) ^{Matthew 26:50} Then came they, and laid hands on Yeshua, and took Him.

^{Luke 22:49} When they which were about Him saw what would follow, they said unto Him, “Lord, shall we smite with the sword?”

^{John 18:10}Then Simon Peter having a sword drew it, and smote the high priest’s servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant’s name was Malchus.

^{Luke 22:51}And Yeshua answered and said, “Suffer ye thus far.” And He touched his ear, and healed him.

^{John 18:11}Then said Yeshua unto Peter, “Put up thy sword into the sheath: ^{Matthew 26:52b} for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword. ⁵³Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to My Father, and He shall presently give Me more than twelve legions of angels? ⁵⁴But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be? ^{John 18:11b} The cup which My Father hath given Me, shall I not drink it?”

^{Luke 22:52} Then Yeshua said unto the chief priests, and captains of the temple, and the elders, (the multitudes - Matthew) which were come to Him, “Be ye come out, as against a thief, with swords and staves? ⁵³When I was (sat – Matthew) daily with you in the temple (teaching – Matthew, Mark), ye stretched forth no hands against Me ^{Mark 14:49} and ye took Me not: but the scriptures (of the prophets – Matthew) must be fulfilled. ^{Luke 22:53b} But this is your hour, and the power of darkness.”

^{Matthew 26:56} Then all the disciples forsook Him, and fled. ^{Mark 14: 51}And there followed Him a certain young man, having a linen cloth cast about his naked body; and the young men laid hold on him: ⁵²And he left the linen cloth, and fled from them naked.

^{John 18: 12}Then the band and the captain and officers of the Jews took Yeshua, and bound Him.
