1 00:00:02,680 --> 00:00:08,720 Speaker 1: Life Audio The Bible Study Podcast, Episode nine fifty eight. Today, 2 00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:11,720 Speaker 1: The Bible Study Podcast continues the study of the Gospel 3 00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:15,040 Speaker 1: of Luke as we start to wrap this up with 4 00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:26,160 Speaker 1: chapter twenty two. Welcome to the Bible Study Podcast. I'm 5 00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:30,120 Speaker 1: your host, Chris Kristensen. We're getting to Monday, Thursday, the 6 00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:34,360 Speaker 1: day before Good Friday today in the study. But first 7 00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:40,000 Speaker 1: a word from this sponsor. So in this particular chapter today, 8 00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:44,279 Speaker 1: we're going to do both the Thursday before Good Friday 9 00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:49,320 Speaker 1: and then also the beginning of Good Friday, the early 10 00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:50,920 Speaker 1: morning hours of Good Friday. I don't think we're going 11 00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:53,680 Speaker 1: to get to the latter today, but let's see how 12 00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:58,400 Speaker 1: it goes. Judas agrees to betray Jesus. Now, the feast 13 00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:01,760 Speaker 1: of unleavened bread called the Past was approaching, and the 14 00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:03,840 Speaker 1: chief priests and the teachers of the law were looking 15 00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:06,360 Speaker 1: for some way to get rid of Jesus, for they 16 00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:10,840 Speaker 1: were afraid of the people. Then Satan entered Judas called Escariot, 17 00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:13,199 Speaker 1: one of the Twelve, and Judas went to the chief 18 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:16,280 Speaker 1: priests and the officers of the Temple guard and discussed 19 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:20,560 Speaker 1: with them how he might betray Jesus. They were delighted 20 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,600 Speaker 1: and agreed to give him money. He consented and watched 21 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:26,640 Speaker 1: for an opportunity to hand Jesus over to them when 22 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:31,280 Speaker 1: no crowd was present. Now, this is obviously a significant 23 00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:37,360 Speaker 1: verse in this story here in Holy Week, the Betrayal 24 00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:42,360 Speaker 1: of Judas. Unfortunately, it's a story that doesn't tell us 25 00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:46,160 Speaker 1: any of Judas's motivations. It does say that he's going 26 00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:49,760 Speaker 1: to take money for doing this, and we do have 27 00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:53,880 Speaker 1: elsewhere in scriptures in the New Testament that Judas was 28 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:57,760 Speaker 1: the one who kept the money for the disciples and 29 00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:01,440 Speaker 1: sometimes skimmed from it. And so we know that Judas 30 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:05,600 Speaker 1: has a problem with money. But I don't think that's 31 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 1: just it. I don't think that you become a disciple 32 00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:12,240 Speaker 1: of Jesus and you follow him around for three years 33 00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:16,800 Speaker 1: just because you're trying to get money. It seems like 34 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:20,480 Speaker 1: there's likely something else going on, but we are never 35 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:24,959 Speaker 1: told in scripture what it is. The only other hint 36 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,680 Speaker 1: we'll have is that Judas will try and give that 37 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:31,400 Speaker 1: money back later on when he realizes he has turned 38 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:35,600 Speaker 1: over an innocent man. And so the speculation among some 39 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:40,000 Speaker 1: scholars is that Judas was trying to force Jesus hand 40 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:44,680 Speaker 1: to do something and was using this mechanism. I don't 41 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 1: know if that's the case, and no one does except 42 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:53,000 Speaker 1: for Judas and God. But we start here with this 43 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 1: setting up here of Good Friday, with Judas's betrayal, and 44 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:02,359 Speaker 1: then we get the last sup Then came the day 45 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 1: of unleavened bread, on which the passover Lamb had to 46 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:08,800 Speaker 1: be sacrificed. Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, go and 47 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:12,400 Speaker 1: make preparations for us to eat the passover. Where do 48 00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:15,400 Speaker 1: you want us to prepare for it, they asked. He replied, 49 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:17,880 Speaker 1: as you enter the city, a man carrying a jar 50 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,560 Speaker 1: of water will meet you. Follow him to the house 51 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:22,520 Speaker 1: that he enters, and say to the owner of the 52 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:26,399 Speaker 1: house the teacher asks, where is the guest room where 53 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,519 Speaker 1: I may eat the Passover with my disciples. He will 54 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 1: show you a large room upstairs, all furnished. Make preparations there. 55 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 1: They left and found things just as Jesus had told them. 56 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 1: So they prepared the passover. When the hour came, Jesus 57 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:45,240 Speaker 1: and his apostles reclined at the table, and he said 58 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 1: to them, I have eagerly desired to eat this passover 59 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 1: with you before I suffer, For I tell you, I 60 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 1: will not eat again until it finds fulfillment in the 61 00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:58,880 Speaker 1: Kingdom of God. After taking the cup, he gave thanks 62 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:02,120 Speaker 1: and said, take this and divided among you, For I 63 00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:04,320 Speaker 1: tell you I will not drink again from the fruit 64 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:08,240 Speaker 1: of the vine until the Kingdom of God comes. And 65 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,600 Speaker 1: he took the bread, gave thanks, and broke it and 66 00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 1: gave it to them, saying, this is my body given 67 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:17,039 Speaker 1: for you do this in remembrance of me. In the 68 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,440 Speaker 1: same way, after the supper, he took the cup, saying, 69 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,920 Speaker 1: this cup is the new covenant in my blood, which 70 00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,719 Speaker 1: is poured out for you. But the hand of him 71 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 1: who is going to betray me is with mine on 72 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:33,480 Speaker 1: the table. The son of man will go as it 73 00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,640 Speaker 1: has been decreed, But woe to the man who betrays him. 74 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 1: They began to question among themselves which of them it 75 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:46,920 Speaker 1: might be who would do this. So we are eating 76 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:53,280 Speaker 1: a satyr meal, a passover meal. And just as on 77 00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:56,640 Speaker 1: aside here I happen to be studying through finishing up, 78 00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,279 Speaker 1: just finished up in my personal devotions, the study of 79 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,919 Speaker 1: Second chronic And one of the things you come across 80 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:06,480 Speaker 1: in second Chronicles is how seldom the people of Israel 81 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:10,479 Speaker 1: actually ate the Passover meal, and how seldom they they 82 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:16,400 Speaker 1: celebrated it, because they kept turning away from God and 83 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:19,400 Speaker 1: over to other gods under certain kings. And then they 84 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:23,960 Speaker 1: come back under Hezekiah and then under Josiah the Reformer, 85 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:27,040 Speaker 1: and they eat a Passover meal, and it says things 86 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:30,440 Speaker 1: like and never had this been done again really in 87 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:34,000 Speaker 1: this fashion since the days of David. So during the 88 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:37,520 Speaker 1: five hundred years or so of the time of the kings, 89 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,479 Speaker 1: it was actually more rare than not to eat the 90 00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:45,160 Speaker 1: Passover meal to celebrate the Passover, which is interesting because 91 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:47,840 Speaker 1: if you have friends who are Jewish, they are still 92 00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:51,600 Speaker 1: having Satan meals today. And there is a consistency of 93 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:55,839 Speaker 1: celebrating the Passover that really comes back to when the 94 00:05:55,920 --> 00:06:00,440 Speaker 1: people get back from the Babylonian captivity, and when they 95 00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:05,599 Speaker 1: come back in roughly three hundred's AD. Then since that 96 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:11,040 Speaker 1: time they have been more consistently faithful with remembering the Passover. 97 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:16,719 Speaker 1: And so Jesus wants to eat the Passover with his disciples, 98 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,640 Speaker 1: with his apostles, with just the smaller group, because his 99 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,599 Speaker 1: large his disciples is a larger group by this time, 100 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 1: and he apparently has done some preparation or God has 101 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,840 Speaker 1: done some miraculous preparation. We don't really know, but he 102 00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:34,680 Speaker 1: basically sends them into the town but doesn't say just 103 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,240 Speaker 1: go to Bob's house and he's got a room and 104 00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 1: it's already But he sends them in this funny thing 105 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,719 Speaker 1: of you'll see somebody carrying a jar of water, follow them, 106 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:47,440 Speaker 1: and you know they will take you to the house. 107 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 1: So it almost sounds more like there's something miraculous going 108 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:56,920 Speaker 1: on here where the preparations have been prepared, not with Jesus, 109 00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,200 Speaker 1: you know, going off on the side and saying, hey, Bob, 110 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:01,240 Speaker 1: why don't you have a place where we can do 111 00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:05,160 Speaker 1: the passover? And we don't know, but this is an 112 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:10,840 Speaker 1: important meal here, because this is tying the Old and 113 00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 1: the New Testament together. And this is one of the 114 00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,680 Speaker 1: reasons I wanted to spend more time on this section 115 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,480 Speaker 1: today rather than trying to get through this whole chapter. 116 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:23,240 Speaker 1: So you may remember that the passover meal was eaten 117 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:27,360 Speaker 1: first in Exodus. We'll eat this meal, we'll be ready 118 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:29,600 Speaker 1: to go. We'll eat it with our staff on our 119 00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:33,520 Speaker 1: hands and our sandals on our feet, ready to leave Egypt, 120 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:38,640 Speaker 1: because God is going to pass over this house where 121 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,760 Speaker 1: we have taken the blood of this lamb and put 122 00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 1: it on the door frame, on the lintel of the door, 123 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,120 Speaker 1: so that they will know that this is a house 124 00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 1: of the people of Israel, one of the Hebrews, and 125 00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:55,120 Speaker 1: the Angel of God will pass over this house and 126 00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:57,800 Speaker 1: no one in it will die. Right it's going to 127 00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:01,280 Speaker 1: when the Angel of God gets to the house of 128 00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 1: the Egyptians without the door on the lintel, then the eldest, 129 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:10,920 Speaker 1: the firstborn male will die. This is the last of 130 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:14,960 Speaker 1: the great ten plagues in Exodus, and it is the 131 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 1: one that finally breaks the will of Pharaoh, so Pharaoh 132 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:22,840 Speaker 1: lets the people go. So this is one of the 133 00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:25,680 Speaker 1: most significant things that is going to happen in the 134 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:29,480 Speaker 1: Old Testament for forming who the people of Israel are. 135 00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 1: And if you go to a satarmeal, and if you've 136 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 1: got Jewish friends, I would encourage you to see if 137 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:38,040 Speaker 1: you can get invited or go to a Christian Satar 138 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:41,560 Speaker 1: meal where they will do the traditional Satar meal with 139 00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 1: all of the bitter herbs that will remind them of 140 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:46,360 Speaker 1: their tears that they shed while they are in Egypt, 141 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,400 Speaker 1: and you'll eat the mix that will remind you of 142 00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:52,800 Speaker 1: the mortar that they use to make bricks well in Egypt, 143 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:56,880 Speaker 1: and all of these things that are traditional Passover elements, 144 00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:59,120 Speaker 1: and Jesus and his disciples are doing all of those, 145 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:03,840 Speaker 1: including a number of glasses of wine as is tradition. 146 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:10,720 Speaker 1: The difference is that Jesus starts something different with this meal, 147 00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:16,440 Speaker 1: and he says two specific things that make it very 148 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:19,600 Speaker 1: important to us as Christians. One is he takes the 149 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:22,920 Speaker 1: bread and says, this is my body given for you. 150 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:26,240 Speaker 1: Do this in remembrance of me that is new. And 151 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:28,320 Speaker 1: two is he takes the cup and says, this is 152 00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:31,880 Speaker 1: the covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you. 153 00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:41,280 Speaker 1: Now the thing that ties together Passover, and this Monday Thursday, 154 00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:48,160 Speaker 1: this last supper is sacrifice right for in Passover, what 155 00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:52,040 Speaker 1: save the people of Israel was faithfulness to what God says, 156 00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:56,240 Speaker 1: but also the death of that lamb whose blood is 157 00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:59,840 Speaker 1: put on the door so that the Angel will pass over. 158 00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:05,640 Speaker 1: What Jesus is saying is there's a new sacrifice coming. 159 00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:09,160 Speaker 1: We're about a day away from a new sacrifice, which 160 00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:14,720 Speaker 1: is him. His body and his blood now are what 161 00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:20,240 Speaker 1: protect us, so that when the Angel of God looks 162 00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:23,360 Speaker 1: down on us, it sees that blood rather than what 163 00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:29,679 Speaker 1: we have done, and so again we're protected by the 164 00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:33,280 Speaker 1: sacrifice that has been made in the Old Testament, the lamb, 165 00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,559 Speaker 1: and in the New Testament, the Lamb of God given 166 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:43,679 Speaker 1: once for all, the final perfect sacrifice, the Lamb being 167 00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 1: just a shadow of what will come in Jesus. And 168 00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:54,920 Speaker 1: so everything was going pretty normal at this passover meal 169 00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:59,640 Speaker 1: in Luke's account, until Jesus starts to say these new 170 00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:03,880 Speaker 1: words words, and then, as if that weren't enough, he 171 00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:07,040 Speaker 1: interrupts the meal and says, by the way, someone who's 172 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:10,040 Speaker 1: going to betray me as sitting down with us. And 173 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:12,360 Speaker 1: you can believe that that is going to lead to 174 00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:15,240 Speaker 1: some discussion, and they're questioning among each other who might 175 00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:17,800 Speaker 1: do it. But that is not the only thing they 176 00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:21,640 Speaker 1: are questioning, it continues, and says, a dispute also rows 177 00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:25,040 Speaker 1: among those as to which of them would be considered 178 00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:28,160 Speaker 1: to be the greatest. Jesus said to them, the kings 179 00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:31,120 Speaker 1: of the gentiles lord it over them, and those who 180 00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:35,400 Speaker 1: exercise authority over them call themselves benefactors. But you are 181 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:38,360 Speaker 1: not to be like that. Instead, the greatest among you 182 00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:41,000 Speaker 1: should be like the youngest, and the one who rules 183 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:44,480 Speaker 1: like the one who serves For who is greater the 184 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:47,120 Speaker 1: one who is at the table or the one who serves. 185 00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:49,800 Speaker 1: Is it not the one who is at the table. 186 00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:53,720 Speaker 1: But I am among you as one who serves. You 187 00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,520 Speaker 1: are those who have stood by me in my trials. 188 00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:00,520 Speaker 1: And I confer on you a kingdom, just as my 189 00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:04,000 Speaker 1: father conferred one on me, so that you may eat 190 00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:07,280 Speaker 1: and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit 191 00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:12,760 Speaker 1: on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel. So this 192 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,479 Speaker 1: is not the only place in the Bible where the 193 00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:18,160 Speaker 1: disciples get a little full of themselves and start arguing 194 00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:22,600 Speaker 1: about who is the number one, who's Jesus' favorite, And 195 00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,520 Speaker 1: it doesn't go over well, and he's saying, this is 196 00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:28,920 Speaker 1: not the kind of leaders I want you to be. 197 00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:35,120 Speaker 1: I want you to be servant leaders, people who lead 198 00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:42,000 Speaker 1: through service, not through authority, not through lording it over people, 199 00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:47,880 Speaker 1: but who lead by doing, who lead by serving and 200 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:52,960 Speaker 1: through humility. And this is important because again we're here 201 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:56,160 Speaker 1: in the Thursday before Good Friday, and Jesus isn't going 202 00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:59,320 Speaker 1: to be around for very long, and these will be 203 00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:04,440 Speaker 1: the leaders of the church that he is starting. Simon 204 00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:07,280 Speaker 1: Simon Satan has asked to sift you all like wheat. 205 00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:09,960 Speaker 1: But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith 206 00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:13,800 Speaker 1: may not fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen 207 00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:17,040 Speaker 1: your brothers. But he replied, Lord, I am ready to 208 00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:20,560 Speaker 1: go with you to prison and to death. Jesus answered, 209 00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:23,559 Speaker 1: I tell you, Peter, before the rooster crows today, you 210 00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:27,000 Speaker 1: will deny three times that you know me. We get 211 00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:30,280 Speaker 1: this version of the story that will be in multiple 212 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:34,040 Speaker 1: gospels of Peter, who is sure that he will stand 213 00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:39,000 Speaker 1: by Jesus, and Jesus saying, you will not this day. 214 00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:44,320 Speaker 1: You will deny me. You'll deny that you know me. 215 00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:50,560 Speaker 1: But he also says, when you have turned back, strengthen 216 00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:53,680 Speaker 1: your brothers. When you have come back from this setback 217 00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:59,640 Speaker 1: you are about to have, then lead, then strengthen your brothers. 218 00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:03,360 Speaker 1: Be a source of strength for those around you. Then 219 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:05,720 Speaker 1: Jesus asked them, when I sent you without a purse, 220 00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:08,880 Speaker 1: bag or sandals, did you lack anything? Nothing? They answered, 221 00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:11,839 Speaker 1: He said to them, but now if you have a purse, 222 00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:14,480 Speaker 1: take it and a bag, and also a bag. And 223 00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:16,520 Speaker 1: if you don't have a sword, sell your cloak and 224 00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:20,080 Speaker 1: buy one. It is written, and he was numbered with 225 00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:23,080 Speaker 1: the transgressors. And I tell you that this must be 226 00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:26,840 Speaker 1: fulfilled in me. Yet what is written about me is 227 00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:31,360 Speaker 1: reaching fulfillment. The disciple said, see, Lord, here are two swords. 228 00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:34,800 Speaker 1: That's enough. He replied, it's an odd way to end 229 00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:38,320 Speaker 1: that section here, because one of the people will try 230 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:41,800 Speaker 1: and use the sword in just a few minutes from 231 00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:44,960 Speaker 1: now and will get rebuked for it. But Jesus tells 232 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:50,120 Speaker 1: them at this point prepare for a journey. And I 233 00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 1: think this is not just a short journey. I think 234 00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:56,920 Speaker 1: this is more of things are going to change now, 235 00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:02,160 Speaker 1: and so prepare.
