GospeL Verses ~ Lk.24:49-53, Mk.16:19,20

49 - “And listen” Jesus said to the eleven, “I will be sending the promise of my Father to you. So stay in the city until you are clothed with (his) power from on high.” 50 And they followed him out as far as Bethany, and then lifting up his hands he blessed them. 51 And while he blessed them, he parted from them and was lifted up into heaven. 52 And having worshiped him (and marveling) they returned to Jerusalem with great joy, 53 and were continually in the temple praising God.

     Mark 16:19 - So then the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken further to them, was taken up into heaven and he sat down at the right hand of God. 20 And they went out and preached everywhere, while the Lord was with them, the miracles and wonders, confirming God’s message.

                ~ Hebrews 2:15-18 ~

Review - Through his death he destroyed the one holding the power of death, that accuser, the devil. (Destroyed the prosecutor, case dismissed).

     15 And he delivered all those in bondage to (imperfection and) the fear of death. 16 For surely it is not angels he is helping, but he helps the seed/offspring of Abraham [“which seed is Jesus” Gal.3:16; “and if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed, and an heir to the promise”].

     17 That is why he had to be made like his brothers [adelphois - from the same womb ones] in every respect, so that he will be a merciful and faithful high priest in the service of God, making atonement/pardon for the sins [hamartia - missing the marks, great and small] of the people. (God is, surely? Life, as what else could or would be? And he “is perfect” mt.5:48, so the result of imperfect is? Death. And it has been PAID in FuLL. A gift, and part of the gift is the faith/knowing to receive and take it and follow the instructions that come with it, for progressive change into - his - likeness. Not an angry God appeased, but our own delicate and (very) tricky psyche that may try to trick us up almost every step of the way - it is what the adversary uses to destabilize and slow or stall our course.) 18 And because he himself has suffered when tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted. (Hesitant, stalled?)

                paraphrased study

9 - And when he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those having been slain because of the word of God and because of the testimony they had upheld. 10 And they were crying in a voice loud (logic - like the blood of Abel, not souls/psyches’ languishing under the altar for centuries) saying, “Until when oh LORD, holy and true, how long before you will judge and avenge [ekdikeó - vindicate, give justice to] our blood which was shed, from those dwelling upon the earth?” 11 Then each one was given a white robe and told to rest a while longer, until the number of their fellow servants and brothers [adelphoi - from alpha, and delphus - womb (so siblings)] should be complete, of those to be killed as they had been. (Aka - Martyrdom continues throughout the age.)

     12 When he opened the sixth seal - (this seal, especially is obscured - God hiding things in pLain sight - by describing the seal at the beginning of the vision, as a blend of its full and entire effects, from first occurrence to very last) I looked, and behold, there was a great earthquake. (And at the first event of it, a psyche earthquake). The sun became black as sackcloth, the full moon became like blood (red, reflecting red?). 13 And the stars of the sky fell to earth - like figs blown in a strong wind (how it appears upon earth when the earth is shaking, Is.24:20). 14 The sky parted like a scroll being rolled up. And every mountain, and every island, from its place was moved. 15 Then the kings of earth, the great ones, the generals and the rich and powerful, and everyone, slave and free, hid themselves in caves (bunkers, and bomb shelters) and among the rocks of the mountains, 16 and they say to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of the one seated on the throne, and from the wrath [orgē - from the verb oragō - to teem, swell, and thus implies not a sudden outburst, but rather a controlled, passionate feeling, a settled indignation] of the Lamb, 17 for the great day of their wrath has come (imo, consequences/results, claimed by God because, after all(!) it was he who created a cause and effect universe). And who can stand?” (Revelation, aka, the culmination, is the two ripe fruits - the wheat, and the tares - the submitted and the not yet submitted, Rev.16:13-16 w/ Mt.13:30.)

16 - The eleven went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. 17 Then when they saw him they worshiped him, but some were still not sure [distázō - to waver, doubt, from dís - two, double, and stásis, stance, standing, properly, going two ways, shifting between positions]. 18 Jesus said, “All authority in heaven and upon earth has been given to me. 19 Go and disciple all nations, baptize them in the name of the Father and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost/Presence (of God with us[!] The “Gift”!) 20 Teach them to observe all that I’ve instructed.

     And, “Behold, I and the children God has given me.” 14 Since therefore the children share in flesh and blood (imperfection, where nothing is guaranteed, life as we presently know it, an unavoidable, all important contrast - the crucible, laver, sieve) he himself likewise suffered the same things. This was so through his death he might destroy the one holding the power of death, that is, the devil [diabolos - from diabállō - to slander, accuse, defame – properly, a slanderer, accuser, unjustly criticizing to hurt (malign) and condemn. “A murderer from the beginning” Jn.8:44.

GospeL Verses ~ John 21:16-25

16 - Jesus said to Peter a second time, “Simon, son of John, do you love [agapaó - have affection for, love] me?” Peter answered, “Yes, Lord, you know I love [phileó - from philos - affectionate, cherished friendship; cherish, love] you.” Jesus said, “Tend my sheep.” 17 Then he said to him the third time, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” Peter was grieved because he said to him a third time, “Do you love me?” so he said, “Lord, you know everything! You know that I love you!” And Jesus said to him a third time, “Feed my sheep”.

     18 And after a moment, “Truly I tell you, Simon, when you were young you used to dress yourself and go wherever you wanted to. But when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will dress you and take you where you don’t want to go.” 19 This he said to show by what kind of death Peter would suffer, but which would end up glorifying God. And after saying this he said, “But follow me.”

     20 Peter saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following, the one who Peter had leaned back against during the supper and said, “Lord, who is it that is going to betray you?” 21 When Peter saw him, he said to Jesus, “Lord, what about him?” 22 Jesus said, “Don’t concern yourself about that.. Even if I were to have him remain until I come, what is that to you? Just follow me.” 23 So the saying spread abroad among the brothers that this disciple wouldn’t die, but Jesus didn’t say that. (A little bit odd conversation this last part(?) Kind of portrays the idea? Of one follower “taken” where he doesn’t want to go, another alive and remains..?)

     24 This is the disciple who is bearing witness about all this, and who has written about it, and we know that his testimony is true! (John knows his own testimony is true.) 25 Now there are also many other things that Jesus did. Were every one of them to be written, I suppose the world itself couldn’t contain the books that would be written. (The ‘end’ of John’s good news account.)

9 - But we see Jesus (the only begotten/straight out from God one) who for a short while was made a little lower than the angels. We see him crowned with glory and honor, because of the death he suffered. So that by the grace of God he would taste death for all. 10 For it was fitting that he, for whom and by whom all exist, in bringing many sons [huios - “a son, descendant, equally refers to female believers (Gal 3:28)”] to glory, that He should make the founder [archégos - founder, pioneer, from arxe - first and ago - to lead; leader] of their salvation perfect through suffering. 11 So now Jesus and the ones he makes holy, are of the same One. That is why he is not ashamed to call them brothers [adelphos - from alpha and delphus - womb].

WeekLy BooK oF Acts 4 1-22

  a paraphrased study

(Review, a man at the temple was healed.) 1 - And as Peter and John were speaking to the people, the priests and the captain of the temple and the Sadducees came out, 2 greatly annoyed because they were teaching the people, proclaiming in Jesus’ name the resurrection from the dead. 3 So they arrested them and put them under custody until the next day, for by then, it was already evening. 4 But many of those who had heard the message believed, and the number of believers came to about five thousand.

     5 On the next day the rulers and elders and scribes (the leaders) gathered together in Jerusalem, 6 with Annas the high priest and Caiaphas and John and Alexander, and all who were of the high-priestly family. 7 And when they had brought them to the court, they said, “By what power, or by what name, did you do this?” 8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit(/Presence of God) said to them, “Leaders and rulers of the people, and elders, 9 if we are being examined today concerning a good deed done to a crippled man (who had been “crippled from birth”) concerning by what means this man has been healed, 10 let it be known to all of you, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth - whom you crucified, and God raised from the dead - by him, this man is standing and upright before you. 11 This Jesus is the stone that was rejected by you, the builders, the stone which has become the cornerstone [quoting Ps.118:22]. 12 And - there is salvation in no one else. For there is no other name under heaven, named among men, by which we must be saved.” [From death, opposite of Life/God who “is perfect”. And from death’s cause, imperfection, an abyss of potential.]

     13 Now when the leaders/rulers saw the boldness of Peter and John, and knew that they were uneducated and common, they were astonished. They also knew they had been with Jesus. 14 But seeing the man who was healed standing beside them, they could say nothing. 15 When they had ordered them outside the council, they conferred with one another, 16 saying, “What shall we do with these men? For a notable sign, we cannot deny, has been performed through them, and it is evident to everyone in Jerusalem. 17 But in order that it may spread no further among the people, we will warn them to speak no more in this name!” 18 So they called them and charged them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus. 19 But Peter and John answered, “Whether it’s right in the sight of God to hear you rather than God, you must judge, 20 but we cannot help but speak of what we have seen and heard.”

     21 And when they threatened them further, they let them go, finding no way to hold them because of the people, as all were praising God for what had happened. 22 For the man on whom this sign of healing had been performed was more than forty years old.

GospeL Verses ~ John 21:7-15

7 - That disciple whom Jesus loved (John, lol, this is how John referred to himself in this gospel/first advent of Jesus account) said to Peter, “It’s the Lord!” When Simon Peter heard that! He put on his outer garment - he had stripped for work - and he jumped into the sea and went to shore. 8 The other disciples came in the boat, dragging the net with all the fish, for they were not far from land, about a hundred yards out. 9 When they got to land, they saw a charcoal fire set, with some fish laid upon it, and some bread. 10 Jesus said, “Bring some of the fish you just caught!” 11 So Simon Peter went aboard and hauled the net ashore, full of 153 large fish. And although there were so many, the net didn’t tear. 12 Jesus said, “Come and have breakfast.” Now none of the disciples dared ask, “Who are you?” For by now they knew it was the Lord. 13 Jesus took the bread and gave it to them, and also some fish. 14 This was the third time Jesus was seen by the disciples after he was raised from the dead [nekros - dead, lacking life, lifeless].

     15 When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of John, do you love me more than all this?” He answered him, “Yes, Lord, you know I love you.” Jesus said to him, “Feed my sheep.” (1Cor.3:13-17, note however translators love the harshest possible interpretations.. to be “ruined” doesn’t mean perish, or worse, forever and ever.)

4 - God also bore witness by signs and wonders, by various miracles and gifts of the Holy Spirit(/Presence of God) distributed according to his will [thélēsis - from thélō - desire, wish, by God's preference/will, only used in this verse]. (According to His wish and will.) 5 For it wasn’t to angels that God subjected the world to come, of which we are speaking. 6 It has been written, “What is man [anthrōpos - relates to both genders, man, human, mankind] that you are mindful of him? Or the Son of man that you care for him? 7 For a while you made him as a little lower than the angels. But now you have crowned him with glory and honor, 8 having put everything in subjection under his feet.”

     Now in putting everything in subjection to him, he left nothing outside of his control. But at present, we don’t yeT see everything in subjection to him. [Subjection/subject to - hypotássō - from hypó - under, and tássō - arranged].

30 - Now Jesus did many other signs while with the disciples, which aren’t written down in this book. 31 But these that are, are written so you will believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.

     21 A while later, after these things, Jesus revealed himself again to the disciples by the Sea of Tiberias (another name for the sea of Galilee). 2 Simon Peter, Thomas, called the Twin, Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples were together, when 3 Simon Peter said, “I’m going fishing.” And the others said, “We’ll go too.” So they went out and got into the boat, but that night they didn’t catch a thing.

     4 Then, just as day was breaking, there was Jesus standing on the shore. But the disciples didn’t know it was him. 5 Jesus called out to them, “Children, do you have any fish?” They answered, “No.” 6 He said, “Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.” So they threw it out, and now they were not able to haul it back in, because of the number of fish in the net.

GospeL Verses ~ John 20:19-29

19 - On the evening of that same day, the first day of the week, the doors were locked because the disciples were fearful of the leaders, but Jesus came and he was standing among them and he said, “Peace be with you.” 20 And when he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. Then the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord. 21 Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so, I am sending you.” 22 And when he had said this, he blew breath upon them and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit”(/Presence of God. (Via breath of Life, God being Life, as what else could or would be?) 23 “If anyone you release the sins of, they are released, if any you might take hold of [krateó - to be strong, rule, grasp hold of] (insist?) they are taken hold of. (Makes more sense than forgiven or not forgiven?)

     24 Now Thomas, one of the twelve, called the Twin, was not with them at that time. 25 So later the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord!” But he said, “Until I see and touch the mark of the nails in his hands, and his side, I will not believe!” 26 Then eight days later, his disciples were again inside, and Thomas with them. And again, although the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.” 27 Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here, and see my hands. And reach out your hand, and place it in my side. Do not disbelieve, but believe!” 28 And Thomas answered, “My Lord and my God!”29 Jesus said to him, “Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen me - and yet believe.”

And a pair of scales in the hand of its rider. 6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures, saying, “A measure [greek word, a little less than two cups] of wheat for a denarius, and three measures of barley for a denarius, and do not harm the oil and wine!” (Dark ways, mourning, oppression, progresses to rationing?

And the name of the one sitting on him was death, and the grave followed after him. (Mass graves.) And these two were given authority over one fourth of the earth, to kill with sword, famine and pestilence and by the beasts (wild governments?) of earth.

GospeL Verses ~ Mark 16:12-18

(Mark’s account from interviews, there is some dispute about late verses of this chapter, 9-20. Added by a copier? A handed down memory? The account of the two walkers, to Emmaus, is told in Luke, but the gospel account of Mark is likely earlier than the one by Luke, who also interviewed eye witnesses, as they were not eye witnesses of Jesus.. Though perhaps Mark saw him at a young age?)

     16:12 - A little later Jesus appeared in another form to two of them, as they were walking into the country. 13 And they went back straightaway and told the rest, but they didn’t take them seriously. 14 Afterward Jesus appeared to the eleven disciples as they were reclining at table, and he chided them for their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they hadn’t believed those who saw him after he had risen. 15 And he told them, “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation. 16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever doesn’t will be judged. [Katakrinó - judged, judgment; “the Greek word does not necessarily imply the idea of irreversible endless condemnation which has come to be attached to the English word”] (and to too much human thinking and belief.) 17 Those who believe will cast out demons in my name. They will speak with new tongues. 18 If they pick up a serpent in their hand, or if they drink deadly poison, it will not harm them. They will lay their hands on the sick, and they will recover.” [If we can’t now.. later!]

5 - For to what angel has God ever said, “You are my Son, today I have begotten [gennaó - begot, brought forth] you”? (Jesus, only straight out from God one. As John 1:3 says, “All came into being through him, and not even one came into being except through him.” Or to what angel has God said, “I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son”? 6 And then when bringing the firstborn into the world, he said, “Let all God's angels worship him.” 7 Of the angels he says, “he makes his angels to be winds, and flames of his fire!” 8 But of the Son he says, “Your throne, O God, is to the ages! And the scepter of your kingdom is the scepter of uprightness. (Rightness!) 9 You love righteousness [euthutés - straightness, uprightness] and you hate wickedness [anomia - without law(/scruples)]. Therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness more so than your companions!”

Zechariah 14

Condensed/Snipped & Paraphrased

     Behold, a day of Yahweh is coming ..spoil taken  ..2 Gathered will be all the nations against Jerusalem.. The city taken, houses plundered, women.. Half the people into exile.. 3 Then the Lord will go out and fight against those nations.. 4 On that day his feet shall stand on the Mount of Olives ..and it will be split in two east to west into a wide valley, half the mountain moving northward, the other half southward. 5 And you will flee to the valley of mountains, for the valley of the mountains shall reach to Azal. And you shall flee as you fled from the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. Then the Lord my God will come, and all the holy ones with him.

     6 On that day there’ll be no light, no cold, or frost. 7 It will be a unique day known to the Lord, not day or night, but at evening there will be light. 8 ..living waters will flow out from Jerusalem, half to the east.. half to the west.. in summer as in winter. 9 And Yahweh will be king over all the earth. In that day.. his name will be renown.. 10 The whole land south of Jerusalem will be turned into a plain ..but Jerusalem will remain ..on its site from Gate of Benjamin to the former and the Corner Gate.. 11 And it shall be inhabited, for there shall never again be any curse of destruction. Jerusalem will dwell in security. 12 And this will be the plague with which Yahweh will strike all the people that wage war against Jerusalem (he claims what occurs because it was he who created a cause and effect universe) they will dissolve while they are still standing..  13 And on that day a great panic from Yahweh ..the hand of the one will be raised against the hand of the other. (Is.24:20?) 14 Even Judah will fight at Jerusalem. And the wealth of all the surrounding nations shall be collected, gold, silver, garments in great abundance. 15 And a plague like this plague shall fall on whatever beasts may be in those camps.

     16 Then everyone who SURVIVES (mortally) of all those nations will go up year after year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts (Yahweh) and to keep the Feast of Booths/Tabernacles. 17 And if any of the families of the earth do not go up to Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, there will be no rain on their land. ..as a plague with which the Lord afflicts the nations that do not go up to keep the Feast of Booths. ..20 And on that day there shall be inscribed on the bells of the horses, “Holy to Yahweh.” And the pots in the house of the LORD shall be as the bowls before the altar. 21 And every pot in Jerusalem and Judah will be sacred (everything sacred?) so all who sacrifice may come and take of them and boil the meat of the sacrifice in them. And there shall no longer be a trader in the house of the LORD of hosts on that day.

GospeL Verses ~ Luke 24:36-48

36 - As they were all together, talking about these things, Jesus himself stood among them, and said, “Peace to you!” 37 But they were startled and frightened and wondered if they were seeing a spirit. 38 So he said, “Why are you troubled? Why is there doubt in your hearts? 39 Look my hands and my feet, and see that it is I myself. Touch me, and see. A spirit doesn’t have flesh and bones as you can see I have.” 40 And as he said this, he showed them his hands and his feet. 41 They were still having a hard time believing, yet they were marveling with joy. He said to them, “Have you anything to eat?” 42 They gave him a piece of broiled fish, 43 which he took and ate while they were watching, 44 and said, “This is what I said to you while I was with you. That everything written about me in the Law of Moses, by the Prophets and in the Psalms must be fulfilled.” 45 He opened their minds then, to understand those Scriptures, 46 and he said, “It’s written that the Christ should suffer and rise on the third day, 47 and that repentance for the forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed in his name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem. 48 And you are the witnesses of these things, that they occurred. (Hosea 6:2, he days, those of us still tares, millenniums.) (The Psalms are very prophetical.)

1 Long ago, at many times, and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers through the prophets, 2 but in these last [eschatos] days he has spoken to us by his Son - whom he appointed heir of all - and through whom also he created the ages. 3 He is the radiance of the glory of God. The exact likeness of his nature! [Likeness - charaktér - a tool for engraving, an impression, representation, exact reproduction; xaraktḗr was originally a tool used for engraving and then came to mean a die/mould. Finally it stood for a stamp or impress used on a coin or seal.] (Ultimately THE stamp, and seal, of God - creation, and humanity, will be sealed.) And he (the Son) upholding all, by the word of his power, through himself making purification of sins [hamartia - failure, missing the mark] sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high. 4 Having then been openly revealed as superior to angels, and of having a name, and a cause, that is far more excellent than that of angels.

30 - A little while later, when at a table with them, Jesus picked up the bread, broke it, blessed it and gave it to them. 31 And their eyes were opened, and they recognized who he was. And then he vanished from their sight. 32 They said to one another, “Didn’t our hearts burn within us while he talked to us on the road? While he was opening to us the Scriptures!” 33 And they rose that very hour and returned to Jerusalem and found the eleven and those who were with them gathered together,  34 who told them, “The Lord has risen indeed! He has appeared to Simon!” 35 So they told them what had happened on the road, and how they recognized him in the breaking of the bread.

2Tim.3:16-17 - All [pas] Scripture has been breathed out by God [theopneustos - God-breathed, i.e. inspired by God, from theos - God, and pneo - breathe out] and is for teaching, convincing and correction. And for training - that the person of God may be complete, and equipped for every good work.

And Prophecy

   After a large crises, is a treaty/league of the many that lasts only 7yrs, and is broken in the middle against Israel - Dan.12:11, Lk.19:41,44. — Then 1,290 days (about 3.5 yrs plus 30 days) later, the final abomination that desolates, this time upon human temples meant for God’s Spirit/Presence? (1Cor.3:16). Happy the one who waits, and comes to the days 1,335 - Dan.12:12. Which is 45 days later? The last “ten days”escalating to the most critical? Rev.2:10

Jesus said he “will draw all” (Jn.12:32) and said - “All those in the tombs/graves will hear God’s voice and will come forth” (from the graves/tombs) “some into the resurrection of life (into THE millennium). And some into the resurrection of judgment” ‘day’ (Jn.5:28-29) which elsewhere He calls agelasting correction [“kolasin aionion” oR “korrection eonian”] Mt.25:46, the completing of drawing all! Some will serve called reigning, with crowns of life, not metal. And surely(?) it’s a same process of refinement/correction for all. The crucible being life as we presently know it - this unavoidable, all important contrast - until vivification either at 1Cor.15:52,53 or at Rev.21:5, 1Cor.15:24-28. We shall have character that is clear as crystal. Humanity and creation sealed.

GospeL Verses ~ Luke 24:13-29

13 - That same day [resurrection day] two of them were walking to a village named Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem.14 And they were talking about all that had happened. 15 And while they were walking along and talking these things over, Jesus himself drew near and walked with them. 16 But their eyes were kept from recognizing who he was. 17 And he said to them, “What is this that you’re discussing so seriously as you walk?” And they stopped, and with long faces answered him, 18 one of them, named Cleopas saying, “Are you the only visitor to Jerusalem [for Spring Holy Days/Week] who hasn’t heard of the things that have been happening there?” 19 And he said, “What things?” And they said, “The things concerning Jesus of Nazareth! He was a prophet before God and the people, mighty in deed and words, 20 but our leaders, the chief priests delivered him up to be condemned to death, and he was crucified. 21 But we had hoped that he was the one to redeem Israel! And besides all that, it’s now the third day since it happened, 22 and some of the women of our company have amazed us. For they were at the tomb early this morning, 23 and when they didn’t find him there, they came back saying that they had seen a vision of angels. And the angels had said he is alive. 24 Then some of those who were with us went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said.”

     25 And Jesus said, “O thoughtless ones! Slow of heart to believe all the prophets have spoken. 26 Was it not necessary the Christ should suffer these things before entering into his glory?” 27 And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he told them all the things written about him in the scriptures.

     28 And as they drew near to the village to which they were going he walked on as if he were going further, 29 but they urged him, “Stay with us! For it is toward evening and the day is about over.” So he went on with them.

And of all the harsh things they have spoken against him.” 16 They are grumblers, malcontents, following their own base desires, and boasters, flattering to the face in order to gain advantage. 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 godless passions.” 19 It is these who cause division, worldly (world focused) people, lacking the Spirit.

       a paraphrased study ⭐️

     

1 - Peter and John were going up to the temple at the ninth hour, the hour of prayer. 2 And there was a man there who having been lame from birth was being carried, for they laid him daily at the gate of the temple that is called the Beautiful Gate to ask for alms from those entering the temple. 3 Seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, he asked them for alms. 4 And Peter looked over at him, as did John, and said, “Look at us.” 5 And so he looked, expecting to receive something from them. 6 But Peter said, “I have no silver or gold, but what I do have I give to you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk!” 7 And he took hold of him, raising him up by the right hand, and immediately the man’s feet and ankles were made strong. 8 And leaping up, the man stood and began to walk. He entered the temple with them, walking and leaping and praising God.

     9 And the people saw him walking and praising God. 10 And they knew he was the one who sat daily at the Beautiful Gate asking for alms. And they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had occurred. 11 And while he stayed close to Peter and John, more people, utterly astounded, ran together to them in the portico which is called Solomon's. 12 And when Peter saw it he called for quiet and addressed the people - “People of Israel, why do you wonder at this, or why stare at us? As though by our own goodness or power we have made him walk? 13 It is the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, the God of our fathers. He glorified his servant Jesus, whom you delivered over and denied  his release when Pilate, had wanted to release him. 14 But you denied the Holy and Righteous One, and asked for a murderer to be let loose to you. 15 And you cried out for the killing of the author (and) [archégos - founder, leader, prince, from arxḗ - the first, and ágō - to lead – properly, first in a long procession, pioneer] of life, whom God raised from the dead. To this - we - are witnesses! 16 And upon faith in the name of him, this man who you know and now see has been strengthened in his name [onoma - name, authority, cause] and the faith that is through Jesus has given him this complete soundness in the presence of you all. 17 And now, brothers, I know you acted in ignorance, as did our leaders. 18 But what God had foretold by all the prophets, that the Christ would suffer, he has fulfilled.19 Repent therefore. Turn so your sins [or flaws and imperfections - hamartia - to miss the mark (of perfection) translated sins, which includes wrong actions and deeds, even failures to act] may be blotted out, 20 and times of refreshing come from the presence of the LORD, that he may appoint you to Christ Jesus, 21 whom heaven must receive until the time for the restoration of all, which God spoke by his holy prophets long ago. [Restoration - apokatastasis - reconstitution, from apokathistémi - restore, give back, re-establish, returning back to the (ultimate) ideal.] 22 Moses said, ‘The LORD God will raise up for you a prophet like me from your brothers. You shall listen and hear all that he says. (So the word, follow. “Those who do My instructions are they who love Me.” Jn.14:21) 23 And it shall be that any soul who will not listen to that prophet shall be utterly destroyed from among the people.’ [The natural and unavoidable end result. But - Jesus “will draw all” - Jn.12:32] 24 And all the prophets who have spoken, from Samuel and those who came after him, proclaimed all of this! 25 You are the sons (and daughters) of the prophets and of the covenant that God made with the fathers, saying to Abraham, ‘And in your offspring shall aLL the families of the earth be blessed.’ (Oh they sure will!) 26 And God, having raised up his servant, sent him to you first, blessing you by turning away each of you from the wrong ways [ponéros - toilsome, bad] of you [to bless you by turning you].”

(Note, Jude doesn’t pull any punches.) 7 - Even as Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding cities, which indulged in sexual immorality [ekporneuó - from ek - from, from out of, and porneo] and pursued unnatural desires - they are set forth as an example of undergoing aionion hellfire. [Aion - root word of course of eon, but usually translated as forever and ever or neverending.]

     8 And in the same way these people today, relying upon their dreams, pollute the ways of life, they set aside authority, and blaspheme the glorious order. 9 But even the archangel Michael, when disputing with the devil about the body of Moses (likely a handed down story) he didn’t presume to pronounce a judgment, but instead said, “the Lord rebuke you”. 10 But these dreamers insult and undermine all they don’t understand, and they come to ruin by all they like unreasoning animals understand instinctively. 11 Woe to them! For they walk in the way of Cain and abandon theirselves for the sake of gain like Balaam's error and like those who perished in Korah's rebellion. 12 These are hidden reefs at your love meals, as they feast with you without respect shepherding (acting as shepherds?) They are waterless clouds, swept along by every wind, fruitless trees in late autumn, twice dead and uprooted. 13 And like wild waves of the sea, foaming out the shame of their shameful deeds. Wandering stars, for whom the gloom of (inner) darkness has been reserved to the age [aión - a space of time, an age, likely the Great one of the GWT ‘day’ of judgment (and total, full discernment, and closure for all things of all time and history.🎉 The “last Great Day”!)].

GospeL Verses ~ Jn.20:1-18 Mt.28:1-10

Jn.20:1 - On the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb early, and saw the stone had been taken away from the opening. 2 So she ran and went to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one whom Jesus loved (John) and said to them, “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb! And - we - don’t know where they have taken him.” 3 So Peter and the other disciple were going toward the tomb, 4 both of them running together, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first. 5 And stooping to look in, he saw the linen cloths lying there, but didn’t go in. 6 Then Simon Peter came and went into the tomb. He saw the linen cloths lying there, 7 and the face cloth, which had been on Jesus' head, folded and lying in a place by itself. 8 Then the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, went in, and saw and believed. 9 But as yet they didn’t understand the Scripture, how it said he must rise from the dead. 10 Then they went back to their homes.

     11 But Mary stood weeping outside the tomb, and as she wept she stooped and looked inside. 12 And she saw two angels in white, sitting where the body of Jesus had been, one at the head and one at the feet. 13 They said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping?” She said to them, “They have taken away my Lord, and I don’t know where they have taken him.” 14 Having said this, she turned around and saw Jesus, but she didn’t know it was him. 15 Jesus said, “Woman, why are you weeping? Who are you looking for?” And supposing him to be the gardener, she said to him, “Sir, if you have carried him away, please tell me where you have taken him, and I will take him.” 16 Jesus said to her, “Mary.” She turned and said to him in Aramaic, “Rabboni!” which means Teacher. 17 Jesus said, “Don’t cling to me, for I’ve not yet ascended to the Father. But go to my brothers and say to them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’” 18 Mary Magdalene went and announced to the disciples, “I have seen the Lord!” and told them what he had said to her.

    MT.28:1 - Now after the Sabbath, toward dawn of the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the tomb. 2 And behold, there was a great earthquake. For an angel of the Lord had come down from heaven and had rolled back the stone and was sitting on it. 3 His appearance was radiant like lightning and his clothing white as snow. 4 The guards trembled and became like dead men. 5 But the angel said to the women, “Don’t be afraid, for I know you seek Jesus who was crucified. 6 He’s not here, for he has risen, as he said he would. Come, see the place where he lay. 7 Then go quickly and tell his disciples that he has risen from the dead, and he is going before you to Galilee. And there you will see him. See, I have told you.” 8 So they departed quickly from the tomb with wonder and great joy, and ran to tell his disciples. 9 But Jesus met them and said, “Greetings!” And they came up and took hold of his feet and worshiped him. 10 Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid, go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee, and there they will see me.” (Eye witness accounts, especially years later, always differ. We are suspicious if they don’t.)

1 - Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ and brother of James (both natural brothers of Jesus) - To those who are called, beloved in God the Father, and kept for Jesus Christ - 2 May mercy, peace, and love be multiplied to you.

     3 Beloved, although I was very eager to write to you about our common faith, I found it necessary instead to write and urge you to contend for the faith that was first and once for all proclaimed and delivered. 4 For certain people have crept in who long ago were designated for this condemnation! Ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into sensuality and license, and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.

     5 Now I want to remind you, although you once were fully aware of it, that Jesus, who saved a people out of the land of Egypt, afterward those who did not believe perished (earthly). 6 And the angels who left their original place and position, and proper place, he has kept in unbreakable ‘chains’ until the judgment of the great day. (Locked into their darkness, having become rebellious and evil, they cannot change their course back to their blessed state.)

Zechariah 12 and 13

       snipped, paraphrased

The oracle of the LORD (Yahweh) concerning Israel: Thus declares the LORD, who stretched out the heavens and founded the earth and forms the spirit of man within him: 2 “Behold, I am about to make Jerusalem a cup of intoxication to the peoples surrounding her. The siege will be against Judah and Jerusalem. 3 On that day I will make Jerusalem a heavy stone for all people. All who would heave it away will be severely injured.. For all the nations of earth will gather against it. 4 On that day, declares the LORD, I will strike every horse with panic, and its rider with madness. (Of the four? 1:8-10; 6:1-7,8) But for the sake of the house of Judah my eyes will be open, when I strike every horse of the peoples with blindness. 5 Then the clans of Judah shall say to themselves, ‘The inhabitants of Jerusalem have strength through the LORD of hosts, their God.’

     6 On that day I will make the clans of Judah like a blaze in the midst of wood, like a flaming torch among sheaves. And they shall devour to the right and to the left all the surrounding peoples, while Jerusalem shall again be inhabited in its place - in Jerusalem. 7 And the LORD will give salvation to Judah first, that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem may not be greater than that of Judah. 8 On that day the Lord will protect the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the feeblest among them shall be like David, and the house of David shall be like God, like the angel of the Lord, going before them. 9 And on that day I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem. (I believe by cause and effect, which God created, so calls it his wrath, and as done by him.)

     10 “And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and prayer, so that, when they look toward me, and on he whom they pierced, they will mourn for him, as one mourns for an only child, and weep bitterly over him, as one weeps over a firstborn. 11 On that day  ..14 all the families that are left, each by itself, and their wives by themselves, mourning.

Zechariah 13

      “On that day there shall be a fountain opened for the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, for sin and impurity.

2 And I will cease the idols from the land, so they shall be thought of no more. And also I will remove from the land the prophets and the unclean spirit. 3 And if anyone again prophesies, his father and mother who bore him will say to him, ‘It is not life, for you speak lies in the name of the Lord.’ And his father and mother who bore him pierced through (the heart) when he prophesies. 4 On that day every prophet ..ashamed of his vision when he prophesies. He will not put on a cloak (fine clothes?) in order to deceive, 5 but will say, ‘I am no prophet, I am a worker of the soil, for a man sold me in my youth.’ 6 And if one asks him, ‘What are these wounds on your back?’ he will say, ‘The wounds I received in the house of my friends.  - Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, against the man who stands next to me,” declares the LORD of hosts. “Strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered. The hand will turn against the humble of the land. 8 In the whole land, two thirds will perish, and one third will be left alive (Rev.12:6, at 70CE). 9 And I will put this third into the fire (metaphor) and refine them as one refines silver, and test (improve) them as gold is tested. They will call upon my name, and I will answer them. I will say, ‘They are my people’ and they will say, ‘The Lord is my God.’”

GospeL Verses ~ Matthew 27:62-66

[Notes: First Day of Unleavened Bread is the actual Sabbath holy day of Spring holy week. Not every holy day is a Sabbath. Passover is the day of “preparing” the Passover, which meal is eaten after sunset so upon First Day of Unleavened Bread, the days of course beginning at sunset rather than midnight.] (Night before day.. Imperfect life, before breathtaking perfection.) Mt.27:62 - The next day the day after the day of Preparation the leaders - the chief priests and the Pharisees - gathered before Pilate 63 and said, “Sir, we remember how that impostor said while he was alive, after three days he would rise. 64 Therefore order the tomb to be made secure until after the third day, lest his disciples steal him away and tell the people he has risen from the dead, and the last lie will be worse than the first.” 65 Pilate said to them, “You have a guard of soldiers. Go and make it as secure as you can.” 66 And so they made the tomb secure by setting fast the stone and then setting a guard to watch. [Setting fast - asphalizó - to make firm, secure, from asphalés ..asphalt surely! asphalḗs - from A not, and sphallō - totter, aka secure, certain. 🤓 A little word trivia.]

9 - Do your best to come here soon.10 For Demas, in love with this present world has left and gone to Thessalonica. Crescens has gone to Galatia, and Titus to Dalmatia. 11 Luke alone is here. Bring Mark with you, for he is very useful to me for ministry. [A secretary and scribe for Paul and others, wrote one of the gospels logically by interviews.] 12 Tychicus I have sent to Ephesus. 13 When you come, bring the cloak that I left with Carpus at Troas, also the books [biblion - a paper, book, a papyrus roll, from biblos - the inner bark of a papyrus plant, hence a scroll] and above all the parchments [membrana - parchment leaf, latin origin]. 14 Alexander the coppersmith did me great wrong, the Lord will repay him according to his deeds. 15 Beware of him yourself, for he strongly opposed our message. 16 No one was here to stand up for my defense, all deserted me. May it not be counted against them! 17 But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me so the message might be fully proclaimed and all the gentiles/of the nations might hear it. And so I was rescued from the lion's mouth.18 The Lord will rescue me from every evil work and will bring me safely into his heavenly kingdom. To him be the glory forever and ever. Amen.

     19 Greet Priscilla and Aquila (Paul, not married, not overly praising of women, came to list Priscilla before Aquila) and also the household of Onesiphorus. 20 Erastus remained at Corinth, and I left Trophimus, who was ill, at Miletus. 21 Do your best to come before winter. Eubulus sends greetings, as does Pudens, Linus, Claudia and all the others.  22 The Lord be with your spirit. And grace be with you.

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.]

                ~ 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 27:50-61

50 - Jesus cried out loudly and yielded up his spirit [pneuma - wind, breath, spirit]. 51 And right then, the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom. (Patterns repeat: “Destroy this temple and I will rebuild it in three days”! Two thousand years, things continue to run their course, then “the” millennium.) And the earth shook, and rocks were split. (The carnal heart is toward God, like stone.) 52 The tombs also were opened. And many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised, 53 after his resurrection they came out of the tombs and went into the holy city appearing to many. [From a commentary - “To whom they appeared, in what manner, and how they disappeared, whether they again died or ascended to heaven, is not revealed, and conjecture is vain.. to convince the Jews that he was the Messiah.] (At Jesus’ death the graves were opened, after three days, they rose - the grape harvest, after three millennium - 1Cor.15:23,28; Rev.21:5 greek word “pas” as “all” not only “all things” as translated.) 54 When the Roman centurion and those who were with him keeping watch, saw the earthquake and all that took place, they were filled with awe and said, “Truly this was a Son of God!” 55 There were also many women there, looking on from a distance. They had followed Jesus from Galilee and ministered to him out of their resources, 56 among these were Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joseph (wife of Clopas?) also the mother of the sons of Zebedee. (John and James.)

    57 When it was evening, there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who also was a disciple of Jesus. 58 He went to Pilate and asked for his body. And Pilate ordered it to be given to him. 59 And Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a clean linen shroud 60 and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had cut into the rock. Then he rolled a great stone over the entrance and went away. 61 And Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were there, sitting a ways from the tomb. [Luke 23:54-56 says, “it was the day of Preparation (Passover) and the Sabbath (1st Day of Unleavened Bread) was beginning. The women who had come with him from Galilee followed and saw the tomb and how his body was laid. Then they returned to prepare spices and ointments. (But) On the Sabbath they rested according to the commandment.] (Jesus in the grave Wednesday evening, was a Sabbath until Thursday evening so the women rested and prepared spices on Friday, until regular weekly Sabbath began at sunset. So rested Saturday, and went to the grave Sunday morning - which was the third holy day of Passover/Unleavened Bread Week - called Firstfruits.)

                ~ 2 Timothy 3:8-17 ~

8 - Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these also oppose the truth, being corrupt of mind and so are counterfeit regarding the faith. 9 But they will not get very far, for their folly will become evident to all, as it did with those two. 10 You, however, have heard and seen my teaching, my behavior and aim in life, my faith and patience, my love and steadfastness, 11 and my persecutions and sufferings that occurred at Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra—which persecutions I endured. And how the Lord rescued me from them all. 12 Indeed, all who desire to live a godly life in Jesus will be persecuted, 13 all while evil people and impostors will go from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived. 14 But as for you, continue in what you have learned, in what you have firmly believed, knowing from who you learned it. 15 And how from childhood you have been acquainted with the sacred writings, which are able to make you wise unto all safety and deliverance through faith in Christ Jesus. 16 All [pas] Scripture has been breathed out by God [theopneustos - God-breathed, i.e. inspired by God, from theos - God, and pneo - breathe out] and is for teaching, convincing and correction. And for training - 17 that the person of God may be complete, and equipped for every good work.
