Hebrews 13:15-25  Luke 8:19-25

            ☀️ A.M. Hebrews 13:15-25

15 - Through him then - let us at all times, in all seasons, offer up a *sacrifice of praise*. (A note for prophecy, esp. Dn.12:11)

     A sacrifice of praise to God! The fruit of lips that speak [homologeó - speak the same, agree upon] the name [onoma - name, authority, cause] of him.

    16 Don’t neglect to do good {including attitude? begins with attitude?} and to share what you have. For such sacrifices are pleasing to God. 17 Listen to your leaders, following their lead, for they watch over your souls [psyxḗ - from psyxō - breath, wind, blow which is the root of the English words psyche, psychology, soul, psyche, a person's distinct identity, unique personhood, i.e. individual personality] as those who must give an account. To this end, allow them to lead with joy and not with grief, for of what advantage is that? {Teachers will give account.}

    18 Pray for us!  For a good conscience, wanting always to conduct ourselves well toward all. 19 And pray too that I be restored to you the sooner!

     20 Now may the God of peace - who raised out of death our Lord Jesus, the great shepherd of the sheep - by the very blood of the enduring covenant, 21 equip you with all that’s necessary, for you to do his will.

     HE - is working in us - that which is pleasing in his sight. Through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever, amen! 22 I encourage you, to bear with my words of encouragement [paraklésis - a calling to one's aid, i.e. encouragement, comfort] which is why I’ve written to you briefly. {Lol.} 23 You know our brother Timothy has been released! And so, with him I too shall see you, if he comes soon. 24 Greet all your elders and all the saints [hagios - holy, sacred, set apart] {believers}. And those who are in Italy send you their greetings. 25 Grace be with you all!

            🌙 P.M. LUKE 8:19-25

19 - Jesus’ mother and brothers came looking for him, but couldn’t get to him because of the crowd. 20 So some there told Jesus, “Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to see you.” 21 But he answered, “My mother and my brothers are those who hear the word of God and do it.”

     22 Then on yet another day he got into a boat with his disciples, and said, “Let’s go across to the other side of the lake.” So they set out, 23 and as they were sailing he fell asleep. But a windstorm soon bore down upon them, the boat was filling with water. And they were in danger. 24 So they woke him, saying, “Master! We’re perishing!” And then he rebuked the wind and the pounding waves. And all was calm.

     25 He said to them, “Where is your faith!?” And they wondered with awe and marveled! Saying to one another, “Who is this? That he even commands the wind and the sea, and they obey him!”

 Jude 1:14-19  Luke 24:13-29

            ☀️ A.M. Jude 1:14-19

14 - It was also about this that Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied, saying, “Behold, the Lord comes with myriads of his holy ones, 15 to work/cause justice upon all [pas - every, all, the whole]. {Two examples of pas not converted into “all things”.} To - convince - the ungodly concerning all the works of ungodliness impiously done, and concerning the severe things the ungodly have spoken against him.”

     16 And of such are these grumblers, the malcontents, following their own lusts, they are loud boasters, causing a stir in order to gain advantage. {To gain a following? Which often winds up involving money? Or maybe just to be deemed okay by “the world”.}

     17 But you must remember, beloved, the predictions of the apostles of our Lord Jesus, 18 how they said, “In the last time there will be scoffers, following their own ungodly passions.”19 It is such as these that cause divisions. They are worldly, devoid of the Spirit{/Presence of God}.

            🌙 P.M. Luke 24:13-29

13 - That same day two of them were walking to a village called Emmaus, which is about seven miles from Jerusalem. 14 They were talking to one another about all that had happened. 15 And while they were walking along and talking, Jesus drew near and began to walk with them. 16 But their eyes were kept from seeing who he was.

     17 And he said, “What’s this you’re talking about as you walk along?”

     They stopped, and looking sad, 18 one of them, Cleopas, said, “Are you the only visitor to Jerusalem who doesn’t know all that has just happened there?”

     And he said, “What do you mean?”

     And they said to him, “Concerning Jesus of Nazareth! A man who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people!

     20 And how our leaders delivered him up to be condemned, and had him crucified! {Executed}. 21 And we had hoped he was the one to deliver Israel. Yes, and besides all this, it’s now the third day since it happened, 22 and some women of our company have amazed us by saying they saw him alive!

     For they were at the tomb, early in the morning, 23 and didn’t find his body, but they saw a vision of angels, who said he was alive. 24 Some of those who were with us went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said. But they didn’t see him.”

     25 Then Jesus said, “Oh foolish and slow of heart to believe all the prophets have spoken.” {Same with translators? Mistranslating two or three (important) things due to disbelief?}

     26 “Wasn’t it necessary for the Christ [the Messiah, both words mean anointed one, anointed to be king and “savior of the world”] to suffer these things and come into his glory?”

     27 Then beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he related to them the Scriptures about himself.

     28 And as they drew near to the village he walked as though he would continue on, 29 but they said to him, urging him strongly, “Come with us and stay! For it’s almost sunset and the day is far spent.” So he went with them.

 • 2 Timothy 2:1-6  Matthew 27:27-38  and ACTS 2:1-21 separately

            ☀️ A.M. 2 Timothy 2:1-6

1 - Therefor my son (Timothy) be always strengthened by the grace that is ours in Christ Jesus. 2 And what you’ve heard from me - and in the presence of many witnesses - entrust to faithful others, and they’ll be able to teach more persons as well. 3 And share in the suffering as a good soldier of Christ Jesus.

     4 A soldier doesn’t get entangled in civilian pursuits, because their aim is to please the sergeant above them. 5 An athlete isn’t crowned, unless they compete according to the rules. 6 And it’s the hard-working farmer who ought to have the first share of the crop!

     {Jesus is God’s “firstfruits” - 1 Cor.15:23. And Jesus rose on Firstfruits, third Spring holy day of Spring holy week. Upon the annual Old Testament day of Firstfruits, a sheaf was waved in praise and thanksgiving for the entire harvest. ..Romans 3:4 “You (God) and Your words will be proved right when You are judged..” Upon Great Day of Final Discernment, all things will be judged and discerned, with closure for all.. And I think it will result in a universal moment of utter awed silence, at what it is that God has done.. (created). And then a building roar of resounding praise.}

            🌙 P.M. Matthew 27:27-38

27 - Then the soldiers of the governor (Pilate) took Jesus into the praetorium (the governor's headquarters) and gathered all the Roman cohort quartered there. 28 And they stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him. 29 And twisting together a crown of thorns, they put it on his head, and they put a reed in his right hand. Then kneeling before him, they mocked him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” 30 And they spit on him and took the reed and struck him on the head with it. 31 And when they had mocked him, they stripped him of the robe and put his own clothes back on him and led him away to be crucified.

     32 As they were going, they found a man of Cyrene (coming into town) Simon by name, whom they compelled to carry the cross. (Jesus having been flogged and beaten.) 33 And when they came to a place called Golgotha, which means Place of a Skull, 34 they offered him wine to drink, mixed with bitter gall (an herb) but when he tasted it, he wouldn’t drink it. 35 And when they had crucified him {“lifted him up from the earth” Jn.12:32} they divided his garments among them by casting lots. 36 Then they sat down and kept a guard over him. 37 And over his head they put the charge against him, which read, “This is Jesus, the King of the Jews.” 38 Two robbers were also crucified with him, one on the right and one on the left.

 N.T. in a year reading & study, verses R paraphrased [  ] references {  } thots

🌙 [It is Firstfruits, which is the third holy day of Spring holy week. Firstfruits always follows the regular weekly Sabbath of the week. Jesus died on Passover, was put in the grave as First Day of Unleavened Bread was beginning, and rose three days later as Firstfruits was beginning. The days - Leviticus 23.]

     13 - On the very same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, which was about seven miles from Jerusalem. 14 And they were talking with one another about all that had happened. 15 And while they were talking, Jesus himself drew near and walked with them. 16 But their eyes were kept from recognizing him. 17 And he said to them, “What is it that you’re talking about as you walk along?” And they stopped, and looking sad, 18 the one named Cleopas said, “Are you the only visitor to Jerusalem who doesn’t know what has happened there?!”

     19 And Jesus said, “What things?” And they answered, “Concerning Jesus of Nazareth! Who was a prophet before God and all the people, mighty in deed and word. 20 And the leaders, our chief priests, delivered him up to be condemned to death, and crucified! 21 But we had hoped that he was the one chosen to redeem Israel. Yes, and besides all this, it’s now the third day since, 22 and some women of our company amazed us by saying they were at the tomb early this morning 23 and found it empty! And that they saw a vision of angels who said he’s alive! 24 Then some others of us went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said.”

     25 Then Jesus said, “O foolish ones, and slow of heart, do you not believe all which the prophets spoke? 26 Wasn’t it necessary the Christ should suffer these things? And then enter his glory?” [1Pet.1:11 - Moses and the prophets predicted the sufferings of Messiah and the glories that would result.] 27 And beginning with Moses, he explained the Scriptures written about him.

     28 When they were drawing near to the village, he seemed as though he would keep walking, 29 but they urged him, saying, “Stay with us! For it’s toward evening and the day is about over.” So he went with them.

 N.T. in a year reading & study, verses R paraphrased [  ] references {  } thots

☀️ (The gospels as two six month readings means there is some repetitiveness.) 11 - Herod and his soldiers mocked Jesus, and were treating him with contempt. Then they arrayed him in kingly clothing and Herod sent him back to Pilate. 12 Herod and Pilate became friends that very day, when before this they had been hostile with one another. {The spirit of Jesus prevailing even then, in this strange historic example.}

     13 Then Pilate called together the people and the rulers {the} leading priests {the political rulers were priests, so called religious wars were usually not religious but political} 14 and said to them, “You brought me this man as one who is misleading the people. And after interrogating him, I haven’t found him to be guilty of any of your charges. 15 Neither did Herod, for he sent him back here. Look, nothing deserving death has been done by him! 16 Therefor I’ll punish him and release him.” 18 But they all cried out, “Away with this man! Release to us Barabbas!” 19 This was a man who was in prison for murder during an insurrection. 20 Pilate addressed them once more, wanting to release Jesus (it was a Rome granted favor each Passover, to release someone to them). 21 But they kept shouting, “Crucify! Crucify him!” 22 A third time he said, “Why? What has he done? I have found in him nothing deserving of death. I will therefore punish and release him.” 23 But they were vehement, demanding with loud cries that he should be crucified/executed. And their voices {of incited hysteria and hatred} prevailed.

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.]

     (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.]

GospeL Verses ~ Matthew 27:27-38

[Eye witness accounts always differ in details. Authorities are very suspicious when they don’t.] 27 - Then the governor’s soldiers took Jesus into the Praetorium. [The quarters of the praetorian guard in the governor’s mansion. In roman occupation it was the custom to take over the palaces the rulers (king, etc.) lived in.]

They gathered the whole company of soldiers around him 28 and stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him. 29 They twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on his head and put a staff in his right hand. Then they knelt in front of him and mocked him. “Hail! king of the Jews!” 30 They spit on him. And they took the staff and struck him upon the head many times. 31 When they were done mocking him, they took off the robe and led him away to crucify him.

     32 As they were going out, they met a man from Cyrene, named Simon, and they made him carry the cross. 33 They came to a place called Golgotha (which means “place of the skull”). 34 There they offered Jesus wine to drink, mixed with gall [cholé - a bitter herb perhaps wormwood a poison, or myrrh for pain]. But after tasting it, he refused it. 35 As he was hanging there, they divided up his clothes by throwing lots. (We are chosen to be called now, during this brief lifetime, by a ‘lucky’ throw of the heavenly dice, imo.) 36 then sitting down, they kept watch. 37 Above his head they had carved the charge against him - This is Jesus, the King of the Jews. 38 Two rebels were crucified with him, one at his right and one at his left.
