Lent - 37th Day
Jesus Prays at Gethsemane
"Then they came to a place called Gethsemane, and Jesus told His disciples, “Sit here while I pray.”
He took with Him Peter, James, and John, and began to be deeply troubled and distressed. Then He said to them, “My soul is consumed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch.”
Going a little farther, He fell to the ground and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour would pass from Him. “Abba, Father,” He said, “all things are possible for You. Take this cup from Me. Yet not what I will, but what You will.”
Then Jesus returned and found them sleeping. “Simon, are you asleep?” He asked, “Were you not able to keep watch for one hour? Watch and pray so that you will not enter into temptation. For the spirit is willing, but the body is weak.”
Again He went away and prayed, saying the same thing. And again Jesus returned and found them sleeping—for their eyes were heavy. And they did not know what to answer Him.
When Jesus returned the third time, He said, “Are you still sleeping and resting? That is enough! The hour has come. Look, the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. Rise, let us go. See, My betrayer is approaching!”
The Betrayal of Jesus
While Jesus was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, arrived, accompanied by a crowd armed with swords and clubs, sent from the chief priests, scribes, and elders.
Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them: “The One I kiss is the man; arrest Him and lead Him away securely.” Going directly to Jesus, he said, “Rabbi!” and kissed Him.
Then the men seized Jesus and arrested Him." Mark 14:32-46
On this last few days of our 40 Day Lenten study, we will continue reading the things that happened during that first Holy Week. Today we read on the first Maundy Thursday as we read through the Book of Mark.
In the passage above, the plot of the paparazzis to kill Jesus is now looking more and more in the books. The betrayal is done and they were able to get in and arrest Jesus without any repercussion.
We will continue to learn about all that is still to go down as we continue reading the Book of Mark. We should do our own private reading in our own quiet times with the Lord as we skipped through several verses. But join us again tomorrow as we continue this 40 day journey together. Shalom.
Note: Moving forward remember how Bar translates to son, mow Abba translates to father. Because on your private readings, you will encounter the name Barabbas... which is of course Bar and Abbas put together (Son of the Father/s).
