28 - At the last, Jesus, knowing all was then finished, fulfilling the Scripture, said “I thirst.” 29 A jar full of sour wine was there, so they put a sponge full of it on a hyssop branch and held it up to him. 30 When Jesus received the sour wine, he said, “It’s finished,” and he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.

     31 Since it was the day of Preparation (Passover prep for 1st Unleavened Bread Day and the feast) so the bodies wouldn’t remain upon the cross on the Sabbath - for that Sabbath (beginning at sunset, not midnight) - was a high Sabbath. So the Jews asked Pilate if their legs might be broken that they might be taken away (they would then quickly die). 32 So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the two crucified with him. 33 But when they came to Jesus and saw he was already dead, they didn’t break his legs. 34 Yet one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and at once there came out blood and water. 35 He who saw it (John) has borne witness—his testimony is true, and he knows that he is telling the truth—so you also may believe. 36 For these things took place, fulfilling the Scripture, “Not one of his bones will be broken.” 37 And again another Scripture says, “They will look upon he who they have pierced.”

     38 After this, Joseph of Arimathea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Hebrew/Jewish leaders, asked Pilate if he might take away the body of Jesus, and Pilate gave him permission. So he came and took away his body, 39 with Nicodemus also, who earlier had come to Jesus by night. He came bringing a much mixture of myrrh and aloes. 40 So they took the body of Jesus and bound it in linen cloths with the spices, as is the burial custom of the Jews. 41 Nearby the place where he was crucified, there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb in which no one had yet been laid. 42 So because of the Jewish day of Preparation (a Sabbath/day of no work) since the tomb was close at hand, they laid him there.

MARK 15 33-47 LUKE 23 44-56

   🍃🕊️12/02 - GospeL Verses 🍃🕊️

33 - And when the sixth hour had come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour. 34 And at the ninth hour Jesus cried out, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” which means, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” 35 And some of the bystanders hearing it said, “Look! He’s calling to Elijah.” 36 And someone ran and filled a sponge with strong wine, and putting it on a reed, gave it to him to drink, saying, “Will Elijah come to take him down?” 37 But then Jesus uttered a loud cry and breathed his last breath. 38 And the (large, metal weaved in?) curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom. 39 When the Roman centurion guarding there, saw how he died, he said, “Truly this was the Son of God!” 40 There were also women looking on from a distance, among whom were Salome, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the younger (of the twelve disciples) and of Joses. 41 When he was in Galilee, they had aided him with meals and support. There were also many other women who had come up with him to Jerusalem.

     42 And when evening was coming [hurriedly] (the new day beginning at sunset, which day would be a Sabbath/no work day) since it was (still) before Unleavened Bread Sabbath, 43 Joseph of Arimathea, a respected member of the council, who was also himself looking for the kingdom of God, took courage and went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. 44 Pilate was surprised to hear that Jesus had already died. And summoning the centurion, he asked him whether he was already dead. 45 And when he learned that he was, he granted the body to Joseph. 46 And Joseph bought a linen shroud, and taking him down, wrapped him in it and laid him in a tomb that had been cut out of the rock. And he rolled a stone against the entrance of the tomb. 47 And Mary the mother of Joses and Mary Magdalene saw where he was laid.

      LUKE 23:44-56 [Accounts always differ in details, especially after some time has passed.] 44 -  It was now about the sixth hour [about noon] and there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour [3 pm]. 45 Then the curtain of the temple was torn in two. [Matthew 27:52 - The earth shook, the rocks split.] 46 And Jesus, calling out with a loud voice said, “Father into your hands I commit my spirit!”  [Commit, entrust - paratithémi- to place beside, to set before, to entrust, to commit, from serve a meal to commit, entrust, from para - beside or alongside, and tithémi - to place or to set.. entrust, commit, serve (“into your hands my spirit”.] And having said this he breathed his last. 47 Now when the centurion saw what had taken place, he praised God, and said, “Surely this man was innocent!” 48 And all the crowds that had assembled for this spectacle, when they saw what had taken place, returned home beating their breasts. 49 And all his acquaintances and the women who had followed him from Galilee stood at a distance watching these things.

     50 Now there was a man named Joseph, from the Jewish town of Arimathea. He was a member of the council, a good and righteous man, 51 who had not consented to their duplicity {conspiracy} and he was waiting for the kingdom of God. 52 This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. 53 Then he took it down and wrapped it in a linen shroud and laid him in a tomb cut in stone, where no one had ever yet been laid. 54 It was the day of Preparation, and the (Unleavened Bread) Sabbath was beginning. [First Day of Unleavened Bread is a Sabbath/no work day. It is the day after Passover, which Passover is the “preparation day” for it.] 55 The women who had come with him from Galilee followed and saw the tomb and how his body was laid. 56 Then they left and prepared spices and ointments. And on the (Unleavened Bread) Sabbath they rested according to the commandment.

     [Remember, days began at sunset, not at midnight. They would have prepared spices on the day after the Sabbath of First Day of Unleavened Bread, so did the work of preparing them on 2nd day of Unleavened Bread, then rested/no work on the regular weekly Sabbath (7th day, Saturday) ..and went to the tomb as the sun was rising on the day following the weekly (Saturday) Sabbath — Passover and 1st Day of U.B. are moveable holy days. But the third holy day, Firstfruits, isn’t moveable but is always on the same day of the week, the day after the weekly (Saturday) Sabbath.

     Jesus died on Passover - was in the grave as 1st Day of U.B. day was beginning - and rose on Firstfruits. (As weekly Sabbath has ended, same time of day, as 3 days earlier when he was laid in the tomb) - Thus the three holy days of Spring holy week were fulfilled — The Spring and Fall holy days are listed in Leviticus chapter 23.]

GospeL Verses ~ John 19:28-42

(John’s version, eye witness testimonies always differ in some details, God inspired, not necessarily dictated.) 28 - After this, Jesus, knowing that all was now finished, said, “I thirst.” This fulfilled the scripture [Ps.22:15, 69:21]. 29 A jar full of sour wine stood there, so they put a sponge full of it on a hyssop branch and held it to his mouth. 30 And Jesus had received the sour wine, he said, “It is finished,” and he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.

31 Since it was the day of Preparation, and so that the bodies would not remain on the cross on the Sabbath, for that Sabbath was a high day [First Day of Unleavened Bread] the Hebrew/Jewish leaders asked Pilate if their legs might be broken so they might be taken away. 32 So the soldiers came and broke the legs of those who had been crucified with him. 33 But when they came to Jesus and saw that he was already dead, they didn’t break his legs [Ps.34:20 fulfilled]. 34 But one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and at once there came out blood and water. (The atonement and the purification/maturing - “the washing of water”.) 35 He who saw it (John) has borne witness—his testimony is true, and he knows that he is telling the truth—that you also may believe. (Or - I saw it! To which I bear witness. And I know my testimony is true! And I tell it, so that you also may believe.) 36 For these things took place that the Scripture might be fulfilled: “Not one of his bones will be broken.” 37 And again another Scripture says, “They will look on him whom they have pierced.” [Zech.12:10]

     38 After these things Joseph of Arimathea, who was secretly a disciple of Jesus, asked Pilate that he might take away his body, and Pilate gave permission. So he came and took it. 39 Nicodemus also, who earlier had come to Jesus by night, came bringing a large mixture of myrrh and aloes. 40 And they took the body of Jesus and bound it in linen cloths with the spices, as is the burial custom of the Hebrews/Jews. 41 Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb in which no one had yet been laid. 42 So because of the Jewish day of Preparation, since the tomb was close at hand, they laid Jesus there. [Crucified on Passover, in the grave as First Day oF Unleavened Bread was beginning. He will rise exactly three evenings later, on the third holy day of Passover/Unleavened Bread Week, which always followed the regular weekly Sabbath of the week. Fulfilling the Spring Holy Days perfectly. God’s Spirit/Presence sent seven weeks later upon Pentecost. To my nerdy mind, looks like an outline. A good chapter to read, Hebrews 10.]

From New Testament Letters

     (In the Order Believed Written)

                ~ 2 Timothy 4:1-8 ~

1 -  I (Paul) earnestly declare before God and Jesus who will [méllō - in general what is sure to happen] (will) judge living and dead(/life and death), and by his appearing and his kingdom: 2 proclaim the word, be ready in season and out of season; convince [elégxō – properly, to convince with solid, compelling evidence] warn and encourage [usually translated more like convict, rebuke, exhort, greek parakaleó!] teaching with complete patience. 3 But the time is coming when sound teaching will not be endured, but instead having itching ears they will gather to theirselves teachers (and teachings) to suit their own passions [epithymía - from epí - focused on, and thymós - passionate desires — focused on passions?] 4 And they will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths. 5 As for you, Timothy, always be sober-minded! Endure suffering (because of it). Do the work of an evangelist [euaggelistés - an evangelist, a bringer of good news] and fulfill your ministry/service.

     6 As for me, I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure is close. 7 I’ve fought the good fight, I’ve finished the race, I’ve kept the faith. 8 Now there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, who judges righteously/rightly, will award me - on that day - and not only to me - but to all loving his appearing [epiphaneia - appearing, manifestation, glorious display — From commentary - “epipháneia - conspicuous appearing, emphasizes the fitting impact Christ's visible appearance will have on the entire world – i.e. all who see it, saved and unsaved. In the NT, 2015 epipháneia occurs six times – always used of Christ's coming, once of His first coming.]
