1 00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:05,000 Speaker 1: Let us pray. And the Lord turned and looked upon Peter, 2 00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:08,960 Speaker 1: and Peter remembered the word of the Lord how he 3 00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:12,960 Speaker 1: had said unto him before the cock crow, thou shalt 4 00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:19,880 Speaker 1: deny me thrice look twenty two sixty one. Lord, when 5 00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:22,920 Speaker 1: the pressure of being a follower of Christ becomes too 6 00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:27,960 Speaker 1: much for me, strengthen my stance so that I do 7 00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:34,440 Speaker 1: not denounce you like Peter did. Fortify my faith so 8 00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:38,680 Speaker 1: that I may stand resolute and sure that being close 9 00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:42,160 Speaker 1: to you and being associated with you is the best 10 00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:46,559 Speaker 1: thing that I can do. In the same way Jesus 11 00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:50,800 Speaker 1: stood unafraid to announce his identity, I too will be 12 00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:54,480 Speaker 1: unafraid when I'm asked who I am and what I 13 00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:58,960 Speaker 1: have been called to do. I will not shrink, and 14 00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:01,800 Speaker 1: I will not cower under the pressure of the scrutiny. 15 00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:06,440 Speaker 1: And in the midst of emotional and verbal beatings, I 16 00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:09,520 Speaker 1: will not sway away from what You've called me to be. 17 00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:13,880 Speaker 1: For if I do not stand up for myself, then 18 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:17,920 Speaker 1: who else will stand up for me. May my strength 19 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:23,080 Speaker 1: come from your finished work on the cross, Jesus. May 20 00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:26,280 Speaker 1: my joy come from knowing that You've made a way 21 00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:31,000 Speaker 1: when there was no way. I am declaring right now 22 00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:35,640 Speaker 1: that the prophecy of greatness over my life will materialize 23 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:39,319 Speaker 1: and flourish because you've taken the weight of my shame 24 00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:44,160 Speaker 1: and insecurities to the cross of Calvary. It is there 25 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,480 Speaker 1: that the green light was given for me to live 26 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 1: and succeed in Jesus name. Amen, Thank you for making 27 00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 1: prayer a priority in your day. Till learn more about 28 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 1: the Bible, stay tuned for today's story, brought to you 29 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:15,920 Speaker 1: by Bible in a Year dot com True Prophecy. 30 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:20,840 Speaker 2: In our last story, we learned Judas's betrayal of Jesus 31 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:25,240 Speaker 2: in the garden of Gyothsemite. Jesus was pursued by armed 32 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:28,800 Speaker 2: men with swords and torches, Yet the Son of God 33 00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 2: was not the victim. He willingly went with them, for 34 00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 2: he had a great thing to accomplish. The disciples also 35 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:41,080 Speaker 2: fled in different directions, afraid of what might happen. In 36 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:44,600 Speaker 2: this story, we will learn about Peter's denial and Jesus's 37 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:48,520 Speaker 2: trial in front of the high priests and elders, as 38 00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:50,119 Speaker 2: inspired by the Gospels. 39 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,560 Speaker 3: Hello, I'm Jack Graham with another episode of the Bible 40 00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 3: in a Year. In our previous episode, we heard how 41 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 3: ga Jesus prayed for the Father to release him from 42 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:06,000 Speaker 3: the coming suffering of the cross, but how in that 43 00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:09,080 Speaker 3: moment he submitted his will to do the will of 44 00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:12,560 Speaker 3: the Father and to die on the cross for my sins, 45 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,960 Speaker 3: for your sins, the sins of the world. We also 46 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 3: learned how Judas betrayed him, and how Jesus voluntarily willingly 47 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,880 Speaker 3: went with those who seized him, knowing that in this 48 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 3: God's purpose and plan for his life would be fulfilled. 49 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 3: Today we'll hear how Peter denies Jesus just as the 50 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:34,120 Speaker 3: Lord said he would, and we'll hear how Jesus is 51 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:38,440 Speaker 3: tried for false charges before the High Priest. Let's listen 52 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 3: now to today's reading of the Gospel. 53 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,880 Speaker 2: Arrested and bound in chains, Jesus was taken to the 54 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 2: house an Us, father in law, to the high priest Caiaphas. 55 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:54,880 Speaker 2: While holding him in custody, Jesus was brutalized and beaten. 56 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:57,640 Speaker 2: They put a bag over his head to blind him 57 00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:02,360 Speaker 2: and delivered blows to his head. And prophecy, who hit 58 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:06,080 Speaker 2: you this time? Son of God? They scoffed as they 59 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:09,880 Speaker 2: hit him again and again. Besides the grunts and wincing 60 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:15,320 Speaker 2: in pain. Jesus remained silent. He was then taken before Annas, 61 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:20,040 Speaker 2: hoping that he would incriminate himself. Annas pointed to Jesus 62 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 2: and demanded he explain himself and his teachings. I have 63 00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:28,680 Speaker 2: spoken openly to the whole world, Jesus said, I taught 64 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:32,360 Speaker 2: in the courtyards and the synagogues where all Jews come together. 65 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,600 Speaker 2: Nothing I have done or said has been in secret. 66 00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:38,840 Speaker 2: So let me ask you this. Why do you even 67 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 2: ask me these things? Immediately one of the officers struck 68 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:46,000 Speaker 2: Jesus on the face, demanding he speak to the High 69 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:50,320 Speaker 2: Priest with more respect. Jesus, face beginning to swell from 70 00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 2: the constant beatings, spoke again, saying, if what I said 71 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,279 Speaker 2: is wrong, speak up about it. But if what I 72 00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 2: said is right, why do you strike me? Then Annas 73 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 2: sent him off to Cayphas, with Peter trailing behind them. 74 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:09,800 Speaker 2: In the shadows outside the courts of the High Priest, 75 00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:13,120 Speaker 2: there was a fire with people warming themselves beside it. 76 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:17,560 Speaker 2: Peter sat down among them, warming himself and seeing if 77 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:21,279 Speaker 2: he could spot Jesus from a distance. A small servant 78 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 2: girl also sat by the fire. She eyed him closely. 79 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:30,120 Speaker 2: You were with Jesus, weren't you. Peter shrugged it off, saying, 80 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 2: of course not. I don't know him. A little later 81 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:37,000 Speaker 2: some one else saw him and said, you are one 82 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:41,320 Speaker 2: of his disciples, but Peter said, I am no such thing. 83 00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:47,279 Speaker 2: Moments passed, and Peter, feeling exposed, heard another person say, 84 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:52,040 Speaker 2: certainly this man also was with him, for he too 85 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:56,080 Speaker 2: is Galilean. But Peter said, I do not know what 86 00:05:56,160 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 2: you are talking about. Peter cursed out of fear and frustration, 87 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:04,599 Speaker 2: and immediately, while he was still mumbling curses under his breath, 88 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:09,799 Speaker 2: the rooster crowed from a distance. Jesus turned his head, 89 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:14,120 Speaker 2: his face red and stained with blood. He locked eyes 90 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:18,440 Speaker 2: with Peter and looked straight into his soul. In that moment, 91 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:21,560 Speaker 2: Peter remembered the saying of the Lord, how he had 92 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 2: said to him before the rooster crows today, you will 93 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:29,200 Speaker 2: deny me three times. And he went out and wept 94 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:33,440 Speaker 2: bitterly in shame. Jesus was placed in front of the Sanhedrin, 95 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:38,320 Speaker 2: a court of religious and political officials. Jesus remained quiet, 96 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:41,800 Speaker 2: observing the anger in his accuser's eyes. If you are 97 00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:47,000 Speaker 2: the Christ, tell us, they said, Jesus answered plainly, if 98 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,839 Speaker 2: I tell you, you would not believe. If I asked 99 00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,159 Speaker 2: you whether you believed, you would not even give me 100 00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:55,760 Speaker 2: an answer. But I will say this, from now on, 101 00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 2: the son of Man shall be seated at the right 102 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:03,039 Speaker 2: hand of God in power and glory. The council rose 103 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:05,960 Speaker 2: out of their seats, feeling as if they had trapped 104 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,839 Speaker 2: him into confession. They asked, so you are the son 105 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:13,880 Speaker 2: of God, then you have said it. Jesus replied, you see, 106 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:18,440 Speaker 2: They replied with applauding, what more testimony do we need? 107 00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 2: We have heard it from his own lips. Who will 108 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:26,320 Speaker 2: deny it. Caiaphas, the High Priest, then ripped his robes 109 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:30,320 Speaker 2: in passion. They believed to have caught Jesus red handed 110 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,560 Speaker 2: of blasphemy claiming to be God. Yet they did not 111 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 2: truly understand they were the ones acting as their own gods. 112 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:41,840 Speaker 2: As Adam and Eve in the garden, these priests rejected 113 00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:45,120 Speaker 2: the gods standing directly in front of them. The court 114 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:48,880 Speaker 2: agreed with the high priest and condemned Jesus to death. 115 00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:53,040 Speaker 2: The high priests and elders had decided early in the 116 00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:56,400 Speaker 2: morning how they wanted to kill Jesus, so they carried 117 00:07:56,480 --> 00:08:00,160 Speaker 2: him to Pilots to make his death officially sanctioned by 118 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:05,520 Speaker 2: the Roman government. Miles away, Judas caught word of Jesus's sentence. 119 00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:09,920 Speaker 2: Judas's betrayal began to truly sink in, and the conviction 120 00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 2: of his heart grew more and more unbearable. He ran 121 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:16,520 Speaker 2: back to the High Priest and the council, throwing the 122 00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:19,720 Speaker 2: thirty pieces of silver back at them, for he thought 123 00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 2: that returning the money he earned by betraying Jesus would 124 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:27,480 Speaker 2: wash him clean. Only one thing would truly wash him clean, 125 00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:29,960 Speaker 2: and Jesus was about. 126 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:30,400 Speaker 3: To endure it. 127 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,439 Speaker 2: Judas was not the first to choose his own greed 128 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,320 Speaker 2: over the worship of his king, Yet the guilt of 129 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:39,800 Speaker 2: putting the Son of God to death was far too 130 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:43,240 Speaker 2: much for him to bear. The darkness that had compelled 131 00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:47,480 Speaker 2: him to betray Jesus now caused him to betray himself. 132 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:51,520 Speaker 2: In the middle of the wilderness, above a canyon, Judas 133 00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:54,520 Speaker 2: tied a noose to a tree, put it around his neck, 134 00:08:55,160 --> 00:09:01,600 Speaker 2: and jumped. Immediately. Judas's head and entrails laced the canyon floor. 135 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:05,280 Speaker 2: He shed his own blood that day, Yet his own 136 00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:09,280 Speaker 2: blood would not atone for his sins. No man's blood 137 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:12,880 Speaker 2: can right the wrongs of evil, Yet the blood of Christ. 138 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:23,679 Speaker 3: Would we begin today's scripture with Jesus in chains. The 139 00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:26,200 Speaker 3: anger of those who oppose him is spilling out in 140 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,680 Speaker 3: the most disgusting of ways, as he is bound and 141 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:32,120 Speaker 3: beaten for no reason. He is yet to be tried 142 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:36,720 Speaker 3: for his so called crimes, let alone found guilty, but 143 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,760 Speaker 3: his body is already being broken by those who wanted 144 00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:44,360 Speaker 3: him gone. Their hatred for Jesus is palpable. We can 145 00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:47,000 Speaker 3: feel it as they mock him, covering his face and 146 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:50,000 Speaker 3: striking him, then telling him to prophesy to reveal who 147 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:54,120 Speaker 3: hid him. It was brutal, It was unnecessary, It was 148 00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:59,280 Speaker 3: so ungodly, it was cruel. Jesus maintained his composure, however, 149 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:01,840 Speaker 3: asking them to tell him what he had said or 150 00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:05,640 Speaker 3: done that was wrong, and of course he knew that 151 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:10,040 Speaker 3: he had done nothing wrong. Jesus is without sin, but 152 00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:12,560 Speaker 3: at that point it didn't matter to these who hated him. 153 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:16,320 Speaker 3: They weren't interested in listening to him or bringing about 154 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:20,920 Speaker 3: any substantive accusation. He was then sent away to Caiphas. 155 00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:24,760 Speaker 3: The High Priest and Peter followed closely behind the other 156 00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 3: disciples had scattered. They'd run away, but Peter stayed fairly 157 00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:32,480 Speaker 3: close by. Perhaps he would stick with Jesus after all. 158 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,760 Speaker 3: But then we heard, as he warmed himself by a fire, 159 00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:38,520 Speaker 3: those near him asked him if he wasn't one of 160 00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:41,880 Speaker 3: the men of Jesus. Peter denied it, which was his 161 00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:46,520 Speaker 3: first denial. Later on someone else asked, and Peter again 162 00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:50,080 Speaker 3: vehemently denied it that he was a follower of Jesus. 163 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:54,400 Speaker 3: Two down, one to go. But those near him weren't convinced, 164 00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:57,120 Speaker 3: and soon someone else insisted that he was one of 165 00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:00,840 Speaker 3: the followers of Jesus. Peter then feared for his safety 166 00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:05,000 Speaker 3: in life, protested loudly, even cursing, I do not know him, 167 00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:08,880 Speaker 3: I swear I don't. He shouted in frustration, and just 168 00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:14,760 Speaker 3: then the rooster crowed. Peter's head hung in shame and wept. Jesus, 169 00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:18,200 Speaker 3: of course, was right all along. Peter was no better 170 00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:21,120 Speaker 3: than the rest of them. He denied the Lord not once, 171 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:25,880 Speaker 3: not twice, but three times. We then find Jesus before 172 00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:29,640 Speaker 3: the Sanhedrin, the council of religious leaders and political officials. 173 00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:33,320 Speaker 3: They were questioning Jesus, but not to find the truth. 174 00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:36,199 Speaker 3: They were just looking for an excuse to kill him. 175 00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:39,320 Speaker 3: So they asked if Jesus claimed to be the Messiah, 176 00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:43,000 Speaker 3: In other words, was he the one that God had promised? 177 00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:46,400 Speaker 3: Was he truly who he claimed to be. Jesus responded 178 00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:50,000 Speaker 3: that even if he told them the truth, they would 179 00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:55,800 Speaker 3: not believe. Some people, even when confronted with real truth, 180 00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:59,120 Speaker 3: will refuse to believe it. God will not force you 181 00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:02,480 Speaker 3: or anyone else believe, but he invites you to believe, 182 00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:07,240 Speaker 3: and you can believe in trust in Christ. Here's what 183 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:11,400 Speaker 3: Jesus said in Luke twenty two sixty nine. But from 184 00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:13,360 Speaker 3: now on, the son of Man shall be seated at 185 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:16,839 Speaker 3: the right hand of the power of God. Jesus was 186 00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:20,280 Speaker 3: making a clear statement. Here is the truth and nothing 187 00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:24,000 Speaker 3: but the truth. He is the Savior, the Son of God. 188 00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:27,280 Speaker 3: He is God Almighty, who is seated on the throne 189 00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:31,400 Speaker 3: of the universe. This is the truth, the plain truth, 190 00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:35,000 Speaker 3: and the facts. But rather than believe the facts and 191 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:38,679 Speaker 3: embrace the truth, the council saw this as blasphemy and 192 00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:42,760 Speaker 3: decided this is all the proof we need. Caiaphas, the 193 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:46,240 Speaker 3: Jewish high priest, condemned Jesus to death then send him 194 00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:49,120 Speaker 3: away to pilot to have the Roman government confirm the 195 00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:53,880 Speaker 3: sentence and carry out the execution. Jesus was condemned to 196 00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:57,400 Speaker 3: death not only by the Jews, the religious people, but 197 00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:01,600 Speaker 3: the Gentiles as well. One could claim innocence in the 198 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:04,720 Speaker 3: shedding of the righteous blood of Jesus, and in the 199 00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:07,280 Speaker 3: same way, that same blood that would be shed on 200 00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:12,120 Speaker 3: a shameful Roman cross would bring salvation to the whole world, 201 00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:15,280 Speaker 3: to the Jews as well as the Gentiles, all who 202 00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:18,800 Speaker 3: would believe in him. We then heard how Judas, upon 203 00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:23,199 Speaker 3: hearing of jesus condemnation, was filled with remorse and went 204 00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:27,360 Speaker 3: out and hung himself. When Judas was faced with his 205 00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:31,560 Speaker 3: own sin, the one whom Jesus called the son of 206 00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:34,760 Speaker 3: Perdition went out and took his own life. And he 207 00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:38,320 Speaker 3: is in hell today because of what he did, because 208 00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:42,320 Speaker 3: he rejected Jesus and even betrayed him. Peter, on the 209 00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:46,000 Speaker 3: other hand, wept bitterly. He was so ashamed that he 210 00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:49,160 Speaker 3: had sinned against the Lord and denied him, and denied 211 00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:54,160 Speaker 3: him again and again. But Peter was truly a Jesus man, 212 00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:58,120 Speaker 3: and he would soon be restored to a relationship with 213 00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,600 Speaker 3: the Lord, and he would be a part of changing 214 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:05,559 Speaker 3: the world. Dear God, thank you for today's scripture and 215 00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:08,920 Speaker 3: the reminder that in the case of Peter, that our 216 00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:11,679 Speaker 3: failures do not have to define us, that we can 217 00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:14,400 Speaker 3: come back to You even when we have denied you. 218 00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:17,679 Speaker 3: Thank you that because of what You endured for us 219 00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:21,360 Speaker 3: on the Cross, that we can find forgiveness, restoration, and 220 00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:24,560 Speaker 3: renewal in Christ.
