| What was the significance of [[leaven]] and why was [[Passover]] an important memorial?
|- 
| '''The plot'''<Br> Why did they feel the need to kill Jesus? <Br> Was the bad [[leaven]] of [[Herod]] and the [[Pharisees]] found in their [[Corban]]? <Br>What was the driving motivation behind their efforts to kill Him? <Br>'''Following the money'''<Br>Understanding the story of the [[moneychangers]]  and the system of ''[[Corban]] which made the [[word of God]] to non effect'' should clarify why there was such a conflict. <Br>Their [[religion]] had become the [[legal charity]] of [[Herod]] and the [[Pharisees]] rather than the [[pure Religion]] of [[fervent charity]] taught by [[Moses]], the [[prophets]], [[John the Baptist]], [[Jesus]], and [[apostles]]. <Br>Christ opposed the [[masses]] and their dependence on the [[benefactors]] and civil conscripted fathers and their [[dainties]] and [[benefits]].<Br>These systems which by nature are [[covetous practices]] will always [[degenerate]] the [[hearts and minds]] of the people like in the days of [[Sodom]]. <Br>Christ was teaching [[the way]] of [[righteousness]] but they were teaching the way of the [[unrighteous mammon]] which offers [[wages of unrighteousness]] but was full of [[leaven]] but a [[snare]]. The [[leaven]] is a system of [[force]] and [[oppress|oppression]] adopted by the [[City-state|city-states]] which become the [[cities of blood]].
|- 
| '''Anointing'''<Br> To be the [[Christ]] he had to be [[anoint]]ed. [[John the Baptist]] had named Jesus as his successor and he had been executed. Jesus' lineage would give Him a claim to the throne also. The people hailed as the highest son of David who was king of the government. Jesus fired the [[moneychangers]] gave instructures in the royal treasury and proclaimed he would take the kingdom/government from one body politic and appoint it to another.<Ref name="takeaw">{{takeaw}}</Ref>
|- 
|'''Who was this Simon present at the anointing?'''<Br>"There were two Simons among the Twelve, and there are nine Simons mentioned in the New Testament alone, and twenty in [[Josephus]]."<Ref>Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges Commentary.</Ref>
|- 
| Was [[Simon the Pharisee|Simon the Pharisee]] also [[Simon the Leper]] also [[Nicodemus]]?
|-
| '''Was this Mary with the expensive oil a prostitute''' as some interpret by the words of Luke 7:37, “‭And, behold, a woman in the city<Ref name="polis">{{4172}}</Ref>, which was a sinner"?
|-
| Why is there confusion about the woman who we know is [[Mary Magdalene|Mary]], daughter of [[Nicodemus]], with the oil?<Ref name="alabastron">{{211}}</Ref>
|-
| Is this Mary, daughter of [[Simon the Leper]], who is known as [[Nicodemus]] in John, also the same as [[Mary Magdalene]]? 
|-
| Why is there such resistance to what seems an obvious fact from the text?

| '''Full context of [[Luke 7]]''':36 "And one of the '''Pharisees''' desired him that he would eat with him.

|Why did he have to get baptized? <Br>[[Matthew 3]]:15  "And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer [it to be so] now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him." <Br>[[John the Baptist]] already stated in [[Matthew 3]]:11  I indeed baptize you with water unto [[repentance]]: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the [[Holy Ghost]], and [with] [[fire]]:

== The plot postponed ==
[1] After two days was [the feast of] the [[passover]], and of un[[leaven]]ed bread: and the chief [[priests]] and the [[scribe]]s sought how they might take him by craft, and put [him] to death.

[2] But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar of the people.

== The house in Bethany ==

[3] And being in Bethany in the house of [[Simon the leper]], as he sat at meat, there came a woman having an alabaster<Ref name="alabastron">{{211}}</Ref> box of ointment of spikenard<Ref name="alabastaj">{{alabastaj}}</Ref> very precious; and she brake the box, and poured it on his head.

=== The waste of the greedy ===

[4] And there were some that had indignation within themselves, and said, Why was this waste of the ointment made?

[5] For it might have been sold for more than three hundred pence, and have been given to the poor. And they murmured against her.

[6] And Jesus said,  <span style="color:red">'''Let her alone; why trouble ye her? she hath wrought a good work on me.'''</span>

[7]  <span style="color:red">'''For ye have the poor with you always, and whensoever ye will ye may do them good: but me ye have not always.'''</span>

[8]  <span style="color:red">'''She hath done what she could: she is come aforehand to anoint my body to the burying.'''</span>

[9]  <span style="color:red">'''Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, this also that she hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her.'''</span>

== Betrayal begins ==

[10] And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went unto the chief priests, to betray him unto them.

[11] And when they heard it, they were glad, and promised to give him money. And he sought how he might conveniently betray him.

== The unleavened memorial ==

[12] And the first day of un[[leaven]]ed bread, when they killed the [[passover]], his [[disciples]] said unto him, Where wilt thou that we go and prepare that thou mayest eat the passover?

=== Who ===

[13] And he sendeth forth two of his disciples, and saith unto them, Go ye into the city, and there shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water: follow him.

=== Where ===

[14] And wheresoever he shall go in, say ye to the goodman of the house, The Master saith, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples?

[15] And he will shew you a large upper room furnished and prepared: there make ready for us.

=== When ===

[16] And his disciples went forth, and came into the city, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover.

[17] And in the evening he cometh with the twelve.

=== Why ===

[18] And as they sat and did eat, Jesus said, Verily I say unto you, One of you which eateth with me shall betray me.

[19] And they began to be sorrowful, and to say unto him one by one, Is it I? and another said, Is it I?

[20] And he answered and said unto them, It is one of the twelve, that dippeth with me in the dish.

== Betrayl==

[21] The [[Son of man]] indeed goeth, as it is written of him: but woe to that man by whom the [[Son of man]] is betrayed! good were it for that man if he had never been born.<Ref >“‭25 Then Judas, which betrayed him, answered and said, Master, is it I? He said unto him, Thou hast said.” [[Matthew 26]]:25</Ref>

== My body and blood ==

[22] And as they did eat, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and brake it, and gave to them, and said, Take, eat: this is my body.

[23] And he took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them: and they all drank of it.

[24] And he said unto them, <span style="color:red">'''This is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many.

==Eat in the kingdom==

[25] Verily I say unto you, <span style="color:red">'''I will drink no more of the fruit of the vine, until that day that I drink it new in the kingdom of God.<Ref name="dideat">{{dideat}}</Ref>

== Sung hymn ==

[26] And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives.

== A stumblingblock ==

[27] And Jesus saith unto them, <span style="color:red">'''All ye shall be offended<Ref name="skandalizo">{{4624}}</Ref> because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered.

[28] <span style="color:red">'''But after that I am risen, I will go before you into Galilee.

[29] But Peter said unto him, Although all shall be offended, yet will not I.

=== Cock crows ===

[30] And Jesus saith unto him,  <span style="color:red">'''Verily I say unto thee, That this day, even in this night, before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice.'''</span>

[31] But he spake the more vehemently, ''If I should die with thee, I will not deny thee in any wise.'' Likewise also said they all.

== Place to pray ==

[32] And they came to a place which was named Gethsemane: and he saith to his disciples,  <span style="color:red">'''Sit ye here, while I shall [[pray]].'''</span>  

=== Takes three ===

[33] And he taketh with him Peter and James and John, and began to be sore amazed<Ref name="ekthambeo'">{{1568}}</Ref>, and to be very heavy;

=== Sorrowful watch ===

[34] And saith unto them, <span style="color:red">'''My soul is exceeding sorrowful unto death: tarry ye here, and [[watch]].'''</span>

[35] And he went forward a little, and fell on the ground, and [[pray|prayed]] that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from him.

[36] And he said,  <span style="color:red">'''Abba, [[Father]], all things are possible unto thee; take away this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but what thou wilt.'''</span>

=== Failed to watch ===

[37] And he cometh, and findeth them sleeping, and saith unto Peter,  <span style="color:red">'''Simon, sleepest thou? couldest not thou [[watch]] one hour?'''</span>

[38]  <span style="color:red">'''[[Watch]]<Ref name="watchpra">{{watchpra}}</Ref> ye and [[pray]]<Ref name="seekstrive">{{seekstrive}}</Ref>, lest ye enter into temptation. The spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is weak.'''</span>

=== Return to pray ===

[39] And again he went away, and [[pray]]ed, and spake the same words([[logos]]).

=== Failed without excuse ===

[40] And when he returned, he found them asleep again, (for their eyes were heavy,) neither wist they what to answer him.

=== Sleep on ===

[41] And he cometh the third time, and saith unto them,  <span style="color:red">'''Sleep on now, and take your rest: it is enough, the hour is come; behold, the [[Son of man]] is betrayed into the hands of sinners.'''</span>

== Betrayer comes ==

[42]  <span style="color:red">'''Rise up, let us go; lo, he that betrayeth me is at hand.'''</span>

[43] And immediately, while he yet spake, cometh Judas, one of the twelve, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders.

[44] And he that betrayed him had given them a token, saying, '''Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he; take him, and lead him away safely.'''

[45] And as soon as he was come, he goeth straightway to him, and saith, '''Master, master'''; and kissed him.

[46] And they laid their hands on him, and took him.

== Sword does smite ==

[47] And one of them that stood by drew a sword, and smote a servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.

[48] And Jesus answered and said unto them,  <span style="color:red">'''Are ye come out, as against a thief, with swords and with staves to take me?'''</span>

[49]  <span style="color:red">'''I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and ye took me not: but the scriptures must be fulfilled.'''</span>

== Forsook and fled==

[50] And they all forsook him, and fled.

[51] And there followed him a certain <Ref name="planao">{{4105}}</Ref> man, having a linen cloth cast about his naked body; and the young men laid hold on him:

[52] And he left the linen cloth, and fled from them naked.

=== Led Jesus away ===

[53] And they led Jesus away to the high priest: and with him were assembled all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes.

== Peter followed ==

[54] And Peter followed him afar off, even into the palace of the high priest: 

=== Witnesses ===

[56] For many bare false witness against him, but their witness agreed not together.

[57] And there arose certain, and bare false witness against him, saying,

[58] '''We heard him say, I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and within three days I will build another made without hands.'''<Ref name="nohands">{{nohands}}</Ref>

[59] But neither so did their witness agree together.

== Answerest ==

[60] And the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, saying, '''thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?'''

[61] But he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, and said unto him, Art thou the [[Christ]], the Son of the Blessed?

[62] And Jesus said,  <span style="color:red">'''I am: and ye shall see the [[Son of man]] sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.'''</span><Ref>[[Mark 14]]:62  was said to [[Caiaphas]]. I assume Jesus did not lie and his coming was seen by Caiaphas. There is evidence Caiaphas repented, became a Christian and was executed. Or I should say martyred. There is reason to believe he was alive at the fall of Jerusalem. There are reports of men in the clouds at it's destruction. There is no "second" coming mentioned in scripture.  <Br>This would match the statement in [[Mark 13]]:29-31, consernings the claim that "within the generation he will return",   </Ref>

=== The high priest rent ===

[63] Then the high priest rent his clothes, and saith, '''What need we any further witnesses?'''

[64] Ye have heard the [[blasphemy]]: what think ye? And they all condemned him to be guilty of death.

[65] And some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to buffet him, and to say unto him, Prophesy: and the servants did strike him with the palms of their hands.

== Peter Denies ==

[66] And as Peter was beneath in the palace, there cometh one of the maids of the high priest:

[67] And when she saw Peter warming himself, she looked upon him, and said, And thou also wast with [[Jesus]] of [[Nazareth]].

[68] But he denied, saying, I know not, neither understand I what thou sayest. And he went out into the porch; and the cock crew.

[69] And a maid saw him again, and began to say to them that stood by, This is one of them.

[70] And he denied it again. And a little after, they that stood by said again to Peter, Surely thou art one of them: for thou art a Galilaean, and thy speech agreeth thereto.

[71] But he began to curse and to swear, saying, I know not this man of whom ye speak.

[72] And the second time the cock crew. And Peter called to mind the word that Jesus said unto him, Before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice. And when he thought thereon, he wept.<br>
