WEBVTT

00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:00.840
 Amen.

00:00:01.040 --> 00:00:04.440
 Kiddos, you are now excused to your King's Kids class.

00:00:04.960 --> 00:00:08.720
 If you would open up your Bibles to John 18.

00:00:08.720 --> 00:00:08.720


00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:31.019
 Have you ever had a long night?

00:00:33.679 --> 00:00:36.640
 Over to my right, I heard, yeah, yes.

00:00:38.460 --> 00:00:43.460
 When we talk about long nights, we're not talking about a night that somehow has more time in it.

00:00:43.920 --> 00:00:47.679
 We're talking about a long night, and it's long because you're not asleep.

00:00:47.780 --> 00:00:48.320
 You're awake.

00:00:49.299 --> 00:00:50.659
 It's a sleepless night.

00:00:52.219 --> 00:00:58.000
 A long night caring for a sick child or a scared child.

00:00:58.000 --> 00:01:01.439
 A long night waiting in the ER.

00:01:02.840 --> 00:01:07.019
 A long night of anxious toil.

00:01:08.480 --> 00:01:09.799
 What's going to happen?

00:01:12.480 --> 00:01:14.319
 A long night of travel.

00:01:14.460 --> 00:01:21.799
 I remember sleeping for 45 minutes on the ground of Miami International Airport.

00:01:24.019 --> 00:01:27.400
 Some of our long nights are particularly memorable.

00:01:27.400 --> 00:01:34.800
 They're historic because what happened during that long night was life-changing.

00:01:36.320 --> 00:01:41.980
 And this morning, John, who is the author of the Gospel of John,

00:01:42.219 --> 00:01:47.680
 details for us the long night Jesus experienced before his crucifixion.

00:01:47.680 --> 00:01:50.540
 It was his last night.

00:01:52.640 --> 00:01:55.340
 It was a long, sleepless night.

00:01:55.340 --> 00:02:01.680
 And what we're going to see, it was an evening filled with irony.

00:02:03.299 --> 00:02:05.340
 Filled with contrasts.

00:02:07.859 --> 00:02:13.219
 An evening of multiple fulfillments of the very words of God.

00:02:14.259 --> 00:02:17.860
 This long night was historic for all of humanity.

00:02:18.259 --> 00:02:19.120
 For all of us.

00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:29.039
 What John shows us in this scene is life-changing for those who believe it actually happened.

00:02:30.719 --> 00:02:32.780
 There are three scenes I'm going to walk you through.

00:02:33.680 --> 00:02:35.480
 Scene one takes place in a garden.

00:02:35.700 --> 00:02:37.140
 Scene two happens in a house.

00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:43.120
 And scene three wraps up in a Roman headquarters known as a praetorium.

00:02:43.120 --> 00:02:47.500
 Now, the question that we've got to ask is this.

00:02:48.719 --> 00:02:53.560
 How does this long night for Jesus that took place nearly 2,000 years ago,

00:02:54.039 --> 00:02:56.700
 how does that make a difference in our lives today?

00:02:57.219 --> 00:03:00.800
 Because you could say, well, Jesus had a hard night.

00:03:01.000 --> 00:03:02.879
 I've had hard, long nights too.

00:03:03.540 --> 00:03:03.780
 Wah!

00:03:03.780 --> 00:03:12.060
 But what you're going to see is that this long night of Jesus,

00:03:12.979 --> 00:03:17.879
 things are revealed about him that are awe-inspiring.

00:03:18.960 --> 00:03:22.340
 And the one application I want you to leave with, I'm telling you up front,

00:03:23.520 --> 00:03:24.979
 is to be amazed by Jesus.

00:03:27.020 --> 00:03:29.219
 So, let's start.

00:03:29.840 --> 00:03:32.020
 First scene, scene one in a garden.

00:03:32.020 --> 00:03:35.219
 And this is chapter 18, 1 through 11.

00:03:35.480 --> 00:03:37.880
 Because we've got a bunch of real estate we've got to cover,

00:03:37.980 --> 00:03:40.020
 I'm just going to summarize the passages.

00:03:41.260 --> 00:03:45.760
 And so, the disciples have recently observed the Last Supper.

00:03:46.160 --> 00:03:47.780
 Jesus has washed their feet.

00:03:47.920 --> 00:03:51.379
 He has explained to his disciples that he's departing

00:03:51.379 --> 00:03:53.340
 and that the Holy Spirit is coming

00:03:53.340 --> 00:03:55.660
 and that they need to abide in him.

00:03:55.760 --> 00:03:56.360
 He's the vine.

00:03:56.439 --> 00:03:57.660
 They need to bear much fruit.

00:03:57.659 --> 00:04:02.400
 In chapter 17, he has this extended prayer.

00:04:02.719 --> 00:04:04.419
 And then in chapter 18, verse 1,

00:04:04.560 --> 00:04:07.359
 Jesus crosses over the valley of Kidron

00:04:07.359 --> 00:04:09.319
 where the Brook Kidron is

00:04:09.319 --> 00:04:11.039
 and he comes outside of Jerusalem

00:04:11.039 --> 00:04:12.620
 and goes into this garden.

00:04:12.900 --> 00:04:14.019
 And the garden has a name.

00:04:15.019 --> 00:04:15.620
 Gethsemane.

00:04:16.959 --> 00:04:19.459
 And it's in the garden of Gethsemane

00:04:19.459 --> 00:04:21.659
 that Judas, the betrayer,

00:04:22.579 --> 00:04:24.680
 comes back on the stage of the story.

00:04:24.680 --> 00:04:28.139
 Remember, he had left after the supper.

00:04:28.319 --> 00:04:29.420
 He went out into the darkness.

00:04:31.079 --> 00:04:33.319
 Well, he comes back onto the scene here.

00:04:35.000 --> 00:04:36.740
 And then what transpires is that

00:04:36.740 --> 00:04:40.040
 Judas is leading this military unit

00:04:40.040 --> 00:04:43.939
 of Roman soldiers as well as temple guards

00:04:43.939 --> 00:04:46.439
 and they're there to get Jesus.

00:04:47.720 --> 00:04:49.720
 But Jesus has a little Q&A with him.

00:04:50.899 --> 00:04:52.040
 Jesus initiates it.

00:04:52.040 --> 00:04:56.240
 And then this account wraps up

00:04:56.240 --> 00:04:58.920
 with Simon Peter going Peter

00:04:58.920 --> 00:05:00.780
 on a guy named Malchus

00:05:00.780 --> 00:05:02.260
 and cleaves off his ear.

00:05:04.080 --> 00:05:05.760
 It's an interesting little account in a garden.

00:05:08.340 --> 00:05:10.160
 Let me point out some irony here.

00:05:14.580 --> 00:05:18.100
 What happens in the garden is ironic in one sense

00:05:18.100 --> 00:05:21.000
 because it's a reunion.

00:05:24.939 --> 00:05:27.660
 The 11 disciples have come with Jesus

00:05:27.660 --> 00:05:29.400
 back to the garden.

00:05:29.560 --> 00:05:30.840
 We learn in 18.2,

00:05:31.280 --> 00:05:32.700
 now Judas who betrayed him

00:05:32.700 --> 00:05:34.000
 also knew the place.

00:05:34.600 --> 00:05:36.220
 He was familiar with Gethsemane

00:05:36.220 --> 00:05:39.160
 for Jesus often met there with his disciples.

00:05:41.320 --> 00:05:42.800
 Jesus had spent time there

00:05:42.800 --> 00:05:44.980
 with Jesus and the other disciples.

00:05:44.980 --> 00:05:48.439
 This is a kind of like reunion

00:05:48.439 --> 00:05:49.680
 of the original disciples.

00:05:51.980 --> 00:05:53.480
 But it's very ironic

00:05:53.480 --> 00:05:57.740
 because Judas is not there to follow Jesus.

00:05:59.740 --> 00:06:02.160
 Judas is there to betray Jesus

00:06:02.160 --> 00:06:03.020
 and it's visible.

00:06:03.400 --> 00:06:06.000
 If you look at chapter 18 verses 4 and 5,

00:06:06.300 --> 00:06:08.040
 it's who Judas is standing with.

00:06:08.319 --> 00:06:11.700
 He is standing opposed to Jesus

00:06:11.699 --> 00:06:14.759
 with these armed soldiers.

00:06:23.339 --> 00:06:24.759
 This is a bit of a twist.

00:06:25.000 --> 00:06:27.620
 Now imagine you're not familiar with the story

00:06:27.620 --> 00:06:29.860
 and you're reading this account

00:06:29.860 --> 00:06:30.939
 for the first time.

00:06:31.519 --> 00:06:32.539
 You would be like,

00:06:32.539 --> 00:06:33.039
 what?

00:06:34.699 --> 00:06:35.819
 Judas is there?

00:06:37.120 --> 00:06:37.939
 It's a twist.

00:06:39.319 --> 00:06:40.079
 Ironic twist.

00:06:41.699 --> 00:06:44.399
 And there's fulfillment to this.

00:06:45.379 --> 00:06:46.740
 Jesus said

00:06:46.740 --> 00:06:48.939
 that he would be betrayed

00:06:48.939 --> 00:06:50.539
 by Judas.

00:06:51.659 --> 00:06:52.699
 And he said that

00:06:52.699 --> 00:06:55.120
 back in chapter 13 verse 21.

00:06:55.500 --> 00:06:56.480
 I'll just read it for you.

00:06:56.620 --> 00:06:57.620
 After saying these things,

00:06:57.740 --> 00:06:59.620
 Jesus was troubled in his spirit

00:06:59.620 --> 00:07:00.599
 and testified,

00:07:00.899 --> 00:07:02.120
 truly, truly, I say to you,

00:07:02.360 --> 00:07:03.860
 one of you will betray me.

00:07:04.219 --> 00:07:05.639
 And then the one

00:07:05.639 --> 00:07:07.180
 who was leaning against Jesus

00:07:07.180 --> 00:07:08.500
 in verse 25 said,

00:07:08.800 --> 00:07:09.620
 Lord, who is it?

00:07:09.620 --> 00:07:10.800
 And then Jesus answered,

00:07:11.240 --> 00:07:12.899
 it is he to whom I will give

00:07:12.899 --> 00:07:13.899
 this morsel of bread

00:07:13.899 --> 00:07:14.699
 when I have dipped it.

00:07:14.939 --> 00:07:16.280
 So when he had dipped the morsel,

00:07:16.420 --> 00:07:17.300
 he gave it to Judas,

00:07:17.420 --> 00:07:18.959
 the son of Simon Iscariot.

00:07:20.019 --> 00:07:21.280
 You see, what's happening here

00:07:21.280 --> 00:07:24.040
 is fulfillment of prophecy.

00:07:25.600 --> 00:07:28.000
 The fulfillment of Jesus' very words.

00:07:28.000 --> 00:07:34.379
 There's also another kind of fulfillment.

00:07:37.620 --> 00:07:39.980
 And that comes a little later

00:07:39.980 --> 00:07:41.160
 where Jesus says,

00:07:42.540 --> 00:07:43.600
 in verse 8,

00:07:43.660 --> 00:07:44.180
 Jesus answered,

00:07:44.279 --> 00:07:45.339
 I told you that I am he,

00:07:45.480 --> 00:07:46.579
 so if you seek me,

00:07:47.240 --> 00:07:49.199
 let these men go.

00:07:49.660 --> 00:07:50.899
 This was to fulfill the word

00:07:50.899 --> 00:07:51.759
 that he had spoken

00:07:51.759 --> 00:07:53.519
 of those whom you gave me.

00:07:53.579 --> 00:07:54.660
 I have lost not one.

00:07:54.660 --> 00:07:56.240
 That's from the prayer

00:07:56.240 --> 00:07:57.960
 he just prayed in chapter 17.

00:07:58.980 --> 00:08:00.540
 This is full of fulfillment.

00:08:01.660 --> 00:08:04.120
 This is all coming together.

00:08:04.340 --> 00:08:05.580
 This is God's plan

00:08:05.580 --> 00:08:06.680
 all coming together.

00:08:06.940 --> 00:08:09.080
 There is nothing random

00:08:09.080 --> 00:08:11.160
 about what's happening here,

00:08:11.360 --> 00:08:13.060
 which means this.

00:08:14.640 --> 00:08:17.720
 The betrayal is part of God's plan

00:08:17.720 --> 00:08:19.560
 for our salvation.

00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:21.900
 It's all according to plan.

00:08:21.899 --> 00:08:23.599
 fulfillment.

00:08:26.019 --> 00:08:27.399
 And then there's a contrast.

00:08:30.000 --> 00:08:30.979
 You can make a number

00:08:30.979 --> 00:08:32.120
 of different contrasts here,

00:08:32.240 --> 00:08:33.299
 but what I want you to notice

00:08:33.299 --> 00:08:34.059
 is the contrast

00:08:34.059 --> 00:08:35.279
 between Jesus and Peter.

00:08:36.340 --> 00:08:37.139
 Notice this.

00:08:38.500 --> 00:08:39.659
 In verse 4,

00:08:40.459 --> 00:08:43.100
 this Judas' crew comes out

00:08:43.100 --> 00:08:46.179
 and Jesus,

00:08:46.579 --> 00:08:48.960
 knowing all that would happen to him,

00:08:49.980 --> 00:08:51.539
 he knows what's about to happen.

00:08:52.779 --> 00:08:54.079
 He came forward

00:08:54.079 --> 00:08:54.779
 and said to them,

00:08:54.939 --> 00:08:56.159
 Jesus initiates.

00:08:57.579 --> 00:08:59.360
 He's not running away.

00:09:00.919 --> 00:09:01.799
 He says,

00:09:02.000 --> 00:09:03.240
 whom do you seek?

00:09:03.899 --> 00:09:04.759
 They answered him,

00:09:05.319 --> 00:09:06.120
 this guy,

00:09:06.379 --> 00:09:07.220
 his name is Jesus,

00:09:07.439 --> 00:09:07.740
 you know,

00:09:08.139 --> 00:09:10.079
 the Jesus from Nazareth,

00:09:10.319 --> 00:09:10.879
 that Jesus,

00:09:11.279 --> 00:09:11.720
 that dude.

00:09:13.459 --> 00:09:15.179
 And then Jesus said to them,

00:09:16.059 --> 00:09:16.919
 it's in Greek,

00:09:17.079 --> 00:09:18.720
 it's ego eimi.

00:09:18.720 --> 00:09:18.840
 Eimi.

00:09:20.940 --> 00:09:22.379
 Before Abraham was,

00:09:23.320 --> 00:09:23.820
 ego eimi.

00:09:24.920 --> 00:09:25.639
 I am.

00:09:28.399 --> 00:09:31.500
 When Jesus said to them,

00:09:31.560 --> 00:09:32.019
 verse 6,

00:09:32.100 --> 00:09:32.500
 I am he,

00:09:32.600 --> 00:09:33.320
 they drew back

00:09:33.320 --> 00:09:34.300
 and fell to the ground.

00:09:34.399 --> 00:09:35.519
 Now that's really strange.

00:09:35.980 --> 00:09:36.920
 What's that all about?

00:09:40.820 --> 00:09:41.240
 Well,

00:09:41.399 --> 00:09:42.139
 Jesus is saying

00:09:42.139 --> 00:09:43.139
 something extraordinary.

00:09:43.139 --> 00:09:47.299
 We know who he is

00:09:47.299 --> 00:09:47.980
 as the readers.

00:09:49.580 --> 00:09:52.220
 We know he's the great I am incarnate.

00:09:53.360 --> 00:09:54.740
 And so when they say,

00:09:54.860 --> 00:09:57.259
 we're looking for Jesus of Nazareth,

00:09:57.340 --> 00:09:58.000
 the man,

00:09:58.620 --> 00:09:59.439
 Jesus says,

00:10:00.179 --> 00:10:00.639
 I am.

00:10:01.939 --> 00:10:03.559
 And what he's saying is,

00:10:04.019 --> 00:10:06.480
 I am the man

00:10:06.480 --> 00:10:08.539
 and I am

00:10:08.539 --> 00:10:10.060
 the I am.

00:10:11.100 --> 00:10:12.420
 It's an affirmation

00:10:12.420 --> 00:10:13.360
 of both

00:10:13.360 --> 00:10:15.060
 fullness of humanity,

00:10:15.300 --> 00:10:16.200
 fullness of deity.

00:10:17.700 --> 00:10:18.920
 And that's why I believe

00:10:18.920 --> 00:10:20.139
 these guys were knocked down.

00:10:23.019 --> 00:10:24.300
 He repeats it.

00:10:27.240 --> 00:10:28.019
 Verse 7,

00:10:28.120 --> 00:10:28.879
 so he asked them again,

00:10:28.960 --> 00:10:29.860
 whom do you seek?

00:10:30.600 --> 00:10:31.740
 And they said,

00:10:31.820 --> 00:10:32.639
 Jesus of Nazareth,

00:10:32.720 --> 00:10:33.139
 the guy.

00:10:33.360 --> 00:10:34.279
 Jesus answered,

00:10:34.680 --> 00:10:36.279
 I told you that I am he.

00:10:36.480 --> 00:10:37.120
 Ego emi.

00:10:37.500 --> 00:10:38.440
 So if you seek me,

00:10:38.800 --> 00:10:39.740
 let these men go.

00:10:39.840 --> 00:10:40.180
 Again,

00:10:40.300 --> 00:10:41.600
 that fulfilled prophecy.

00:10:44.279 --> 00:10:45.580
 So Jesus is,

00:10:46.320 --> 00:10:47.420
 he's courageous.

00:10:47.800 --> 00:10:49.139
 He's not backing down.

00:10:49.440 --> 00:10:50.320
 He knows everything

00:10:50.320 --> 00:10:51.759
 that's about to happen to him.

00:10:51.899 --> 00:10:53.539
 And he stands before them

00:10:53.539 --> 00:10:54.360
 and he's like,

00:10:54.580 --> 00:10:55.700
 I am.

00:10:56.120 --> 00:10:56.600
 Period.

00:10:59.480 --> 00:11:00.279
 Contrast that

00:11:00.279 --> 00:11:01.879
 with Peter.

00:11:04.120 --> 00:11:05.420
 Peter doesn't know everything.

00:11:06.480 --> 00:11:08.620
 Peter's a hothead.

00:11:10.300 --> 00:11:11.779
 Not that anyone in the room

00:11:11.779 --> 00:11:13.600
 would be able to relate with Peter.

00:11:13.600 --> 00:11:13.700
 Peter.

00:11:18.700 --> 00:11:19.980
 And what Peter does,

00:11:21.420 --> 00:11:22.899
 not knowing

00:11:22.899 --> 00:11:24.639
 what is happening here,

00:11:25.100 --> 00:11:26.060
 he pulls out

00:11:26.060 --> 00:11:27.960
 like an 18-inch sword

00:11:27.960 --> 00:11:31.639
 and he cuts off

00:11:31.639 --> 00:11:33.860
 Malchus' left ear.

00:11:34.420 --> 00:11:34.759
 Now,

00:11:35.180 --> 00:11:37.360
 that should make you realize something.

00:11:37.680 --> 00:11:39.080
 This is an eyewitness account.

00:11:39.080 --> 00:11:41.840
 When you have a name like that

00:11:41.840 --> 00:11:43.000
 with detail like that,

00:11:43.060 --> 00:11:44.240
 this is an eyewitness account.

00:11:47.240 --> 00:11:48.460
 He flips.

00:11:50.500 --> 00:11:51.379
 He's not,

00:11:51.620 --> 00:11:52.740
 doesn't have his head about him,

00:11:52.820 --> 00:11:53.379
 not like Jesus.

00:11:53.800 --> 00:11:55.840
 He's not controlled like Jesus.

00:11:56.820 --> 00:11:58.240
 He's not initiating,

00:11:58.400 --> 00:12:00.780
 he's resisting what's going on

00:12:00.780 --> 00:12:03.020
 where Jesus is allowing

00:12:03.020 --> 00:12:04.800
 what's going on.

00:12:04.799 --> 00:12:08.599
 Jesus is permitting this to happen.

00:12:10.699 --> 00:12:11.059
 I mean,

00:12:11.539 --> 00:12:12.479
 why would

00:12:12.479 --> 00:12:14.199
 the great I am

00:12:14.199 --> 00:12:16.279
 let these

00:12:16.279 --> 00:12:17.599
 soldiers

00:12:17.599 --> 00:12:19.419
 come and arrest him?

00:12:19.419 --> 00:12:23.459
 Jesus is allowing this to happen.

00:12:25.439 --> 00:12:25.959
 Peter

00:12:25.959 --> 00:12:27.899
 resists.

00:12:28.539 --> 00:12:29.539
 And Jesus says to him,

00:12:29.939 --> 00:12:31.079
 shall I not drink the cup

00:12:31.079 --> 00:12:32.319
 that the Father has given me?

00:12:34.279 --> 00:12:36.120
 The cup is a reference to

00:12:36.120 --> 00:12:37.740
 Psalm 75.

00:12:38.299 --> 00:12:39.839
 It's the cup of God's wrath.

00:12:41.159 --> 00:12:42.579
 John 3, 36.

00:12:44.079 --> 00:12:46.120
 Jesus knows why he's there.

00:12:46.120 --> 00:12:48.480
 He's there.

00:12:48.679 --> 00:12:49.779
 This long night

00:12:49.779 --> 00:12:51.159
 is going to culminate

00:12:51.159 --> 00:12:52.840
 in him going to the cross

00:12:52.840 --> 00:12:54.480
 where he will bear

00:12:54.480 --> 00:12:56.019
 all of God's wrath

00:12:56.019 --> 00:12:57.220
 for anyone

00:12:57.220 --> 00:12:58.179
 who would believe in him.

00:13:03.200 --> 00:13:04.340
 So in this scene,

00:13:04.440 --> 00:13:05.120
 we have irony,

00:13:05.440 --> 00:13:06.440
 we have fulfillment,

00:13:06.759 --> 00:13:08.100
 we have contrast.

00:13:08.500 --> 00:13:09.299
 And what we're seeing

00:13:09.299 --> 00:13:10.320
 in Jesus is,

00:13:10.879 --> 00:13:11.879
 despite the stress,

00:13:12.120 --> 00:13:13.100
 Jesus is cool.

00:13:14.419 --> 00:13:15.220
 He's controlled.

00:13:16.120 --> 00:13:18.740
 And God's plan

00:13:18.740 --> 00:13:19.580
 is coming together.

00:13:20.779 --> 00:13:22.299
 In surprising ways,

00:13:23.100 --> 00:13:25.720
 we move

00:13:25.720 --> 00:13:28.080
 from this garden

00:13:28.080 --> 00:13:30.460
 to a house.

00:13:31.960 --> 00:13:32.940
 In verses 12

00:13:32.940 --> 00:13:37.620
 through 14,

00:13:37.919 --> 00:13:39.259
 this band of soldiers

00:13:39.259 --> 00:13:40.600
 who have come out for him,

00:13:40.680 --> 00:13:42.740
 they arrest Jesus

00:13:42.740 --> 00:13:43.560
 and bound him.

00:13:43.559 --> 00:13:46.179
 So Jesus allows himself

00:13:46.179 --> 00:13:47.679
 to be arrested and bound.

00:13:48.079 --> 00:13:49.819
 They have no idea

00:13:49.819 --> 00:13:51.500
 who they have arrested

00:13:51.500 --> 00:13:52.319
 and bound.

00:13:56.159 --> 00:13:57.159
 And they bring him

00:13:57.159 --> 00:13:57.739
 to Annas,

00:13:57.899 --> 00:13:58.479
 the high priest.

00:13:58.599 --> 00:13:59.899
 Just a little background

00:13:59.899 --> 00:14:01.439
 because there's a couple

00:14:01.439 --> 00:14:03.119
 references to high priests here

00:14:03.119 --> 00:14:04.139
 and it can be a little confusing.

00:14:05.819 --> 00:14:07.719
 Annas is the father-in-law

00:14:07.719 --> 00:14:08.639
 of Caiaphas.

00:14:09.339 --> 00:14:10.219
 And Caiaphas,

00:14:10.339 --> 00:14:11.179
 at this time,

00:14:11.179 --> 00:14:13.219
 was the acting high priest.

00:14:13.359 --> 00:14:15.039
 He was the high priest.

00:14:15.539 --> 00:14:16.779
 Annas was a former high priest.

00:14:17.039 --> 00:14:18.099
 And so it's kind of like presidents.

00:14:18.559 --> 00:14:19.579
 You know how we reference

00:14:19.579 --> 00:14:21.039
 like President Bush

00:14:21.039 --> 00:14:22.099
 or President Obama.

00:14:22.439 --> 00:14:23.159
 They're not really

00:14:23.159 --> 00:14:24.099
 the acting president,

00:14:24.239 --> 00:14:25.099
 but they were the president,

00:14:25.199 --> 00:14:26.239
 so you call them president.

00:14:26.599 --> 00:14:27.799
 That's what's going on here.

00:14:27.939 --> 00:14:28.759
 It was Annas,

00:14:28.899 --> 00:14:29.459
 the high priest.

00:14:29.559 --> 00:14:31.279
 He was the former high priest.

00:14:31.519 --> 00:14:32.459
 And now he's just doing

00:14:32.459 --> 00:14:34.179
 like an information gathering session

00:14:34.179 --> 00:14:34.739
 with Jesus

00:14:34.739 --> 00:14:36.599
 to see if he should go

00:14:36.599 --> 00:14:37.799
 to see Caiaphas.

00:14:37.799 --> 00:14:42.039
 And there's a remarkable contrast here.

00:14:43.459 --> 00:14:44.240
 You guys ready for this?

00:14:46.559 --> 00:14:47.699
 Here's what happens.

00:14:49.379 --> 00:14:52.359
 You have two interrogations

00:14:52.359 --> 00:14:54.379
 happening in Annas' house

00:14:54.379 --> 00:14:55.919
 simultaneously.

00:14:58.439 --> 00:15:00.199
 John has very purposefully

00:15:00.199 --> 00:15:01.599
 interwoven these

00:15:01.599 --> 00:15:04.039
 so you can see the contrast.

00:15:04.039 --> 00:15:06.899
 The first interrogation

00:15:06.899 --> 00:15:07.799
 I want to help you to see

00:15:07.799 --> 00:15:08.899
 is the interrogation

00:15:08.899 --> 00:15:10.579
 of Peter.

00:15:12.019 --> 00:15:13.279
 There were two disciples

00:15:13.279 --> 00:15:14.980
 who were following Jesus

00:15:14.980 --> 00:15:16.019
 when he was arrested

00:15:16.019 --> 00:15:17.699
 and brought to Annas' house.

00:15:18.039 --> 00:15:19.759
 We see this in verses 15

00:15:19.759 --> 00:15:21.259
 and 16 and 17.

00:15:22.539 --> 00:15:24.919
 And it was Peter

00:15:24.919 --> 00:15:25.939
 and this other disciple

00:15:25.939 --> 00:15:27.299
 who's most likely John

00:15:27.299 --> 00:15:28.259
 and most likely

00:15:28.259 --> 00:15:29.199
 has some kind of

00:15:29.199 --> 00:15:30.360
 familial connection

00:15:30.360 --> 00:15:32.360
 with Annas' household.

00:15:32.360 --> 00:15:34.680
 And so John gets in.

00:15:35.779 --> 00:15:37.279
 And then he finds a way.

00:15:37.500 --> 00:15:38.659
 He talks to the servant girl

00:15:38.659 --> 00:15:39.300
 doorkeeper

00:15:39.300 --> 00:15:39.700
 and says,

00:15:40.039 --> 00:15:41.320
 let Peter in too.

00:15:41.440 --> 00:15:43.360
 So Peter kind of comes in

00:15:43.360 --> 00:15:44.919
 to the doorway

00:15:44.919 --> 00:15:45.860
 and that's where

00:15:45.860 --> 00:15:46.960
 the interrogation starts.

00:15:50.220 --> 00:15:51.360
 So Peter's outside

00:15:51.919 --> 00:15:52.940
 at the door.

00:15:53.840 --> 00:15:54.879
 She's brought in

00:15:54.879 --> 00:15:55.820
 in verse 16.

00:15:55.919 --> 00:15:56.620
 In verse 17

00:15:56.620 --> 00:15:57.580
 the servant girl

00:15:57.580 --> 00:15:58.840
 at the door

00:15:58.840 --> 00:15:59.779
 said to Peter,

00:16:00.019 --> 00:16:01.139
 you also are not one

00:16:01.139 --> 00:16:02.279
 of this man's disciples,

00:16:02.439 --> 00:16:02.799
 are you?

00:16:04.240 --> 00:16:05.019
 Weren't you with him?

00:16:05.779 --> 00:16:06.480
 Aren't you one

00:16:06.480 --> 00:16:07.139
 of his disciples?

00:16:08.139 --> 00:16:09.179
 This is a servant girl.

00:16:11.340 --> 00:16:12.559
 She's an image bearer

00:16:12.559 --> 00:16:13.000
 of God.

00:16:13.179 --> 00:16:15.779
 She has intrinsic value

00:16:15.779 --> 00:16:16.240
 and worth

00:16:16.240 --> 00:16:18.360
 but she's not Pilate.

00:16:18.559 --> 00:16:19.779
 She's not Annas.

00:16:20.580 --> 00:16:21.659
 She's not Caiaphas.

00:16:21.659 --> 00:16:26.439
 And what does Peter do?

00:16:28.740 --> 00:16:29.899
 I am not.

00:16:30.299 --> 00:16:31.759
 It is the exact opposite

00:16:31.759 --> 00:16:32.639
 of what Jesus said.

00:16:33.360 --> 00:16:34.120
 I am.

00:16:34.779 --> 00:16:35.360
 He's like,

00:16:35.539 --> 00:16:36.139
 I am not.

00:16:37.759 --> 00:16:38.199
 Nope.

00:16:38.779 --> 00:16:39.179
 Not me.

00:16:40.919 --> 00:16:41.939
 You're mixing us up.

00:16:43.799 --> 00:16:45.139
 And in verse 18

00:16:45.139 --> 00:16:46.500
 then he just,

00:16:46.579 --> 00:16:48.360
 he just wants to blend in

00:16:48.360 --> 00:16:49.279
 with the crowd.

00:16:49.279 --> 00:16:50.919
 He goes,

00:16:51.039 --> 00:16:51.839
 finds the fire

00:16:51.839 --> 00:16:53.179
 and he's hanging out now

00:16:53.179 --> 00:16:54.539
 with kind of like

00:16:54.539 --> 00:16:55.740
 getting warm

00:16:55.740 --> 00:16:56.639
 with the other guys

00:16:56.639 --> 00:16:57.500
 around the fire

00:16:57.500 --> 00:16:58.879
 and that's where

00:16:58.879 --> 00:17:00.039
 this little scene ends.

00:17:01.620 --> 00:17:02.939
 Peter next to the fire

00:17:02.939 --> 00:17:04.680
 with these soldiers.

00:17:07.180 --> 00:17:08.960
 And then what John does next

00:17:08.960 --> 00:17:12.279
 is he puts in 1924,

00:17:13.079 --> 00:17:14.599
 it's the interrogation

00:17:14.599 --> 00:17:15.099
 of Jesus,

00:17:15.579 --> 00:17:17.079
 but then in verses 25

00:17:17.079 --> 00:17:18.500
 and 27 through 27,

00:17:18.539 --> 00:17:19.639
 he comes back to the fire.

00:17:19.839 --> 00:17:21.179
 Look at verse 25.

00:17:21.579 --> 00:17:22.339
 Now Simon Peter

00:17:22.339 --> 00:17:22.879
 was standing

00:17:22.879 --> 00:17:23.839
 and warming himself

00:17:23.839 --> 00:17:25.259
 by the fire.

00:17:26.699 --> 00:17:28.899
 So John comes back

00:17:28.899 --> 00:17:29.740
 to that scene

00:17:29.740 --> 00:17:32.639
 and those by the fire,

00:17:32.799 --> 00:17:33.399
 they said to him,

00:17:33.759 --> 00:17:34.639
 you also are not

00:17:34.639 --> 00:17:35.519
 one of his disciples,

00:17:35.639 --> 00:17:35.960
 are you?

00:17:36.399 --> 00:17:37.099
 He denied it

00:17:37.099 --> 00:17:37.559
 and said,

00:17:37.899 --> 00:17:38.539
 I am not.

00:17:38.619 --> 00:17:39.480
 It's like identical

00:17:39.480 --> 00:17:40.199
 to what happened

00:17:40.199 --> 00:17:40.980
 with the servant girl.

00:17:41.399 --> 00:17:42.599
 They're not named.

00:17:43.199 --> 00:17:44.519
 These are like

00:17:44.519 --> 00:17:46.059
 low-level soldiers.

00:17:47.379 --> 00:17:47.900
 He's like,

00:17:47.940 --> 00:17:48.480
 there's no way.

00:17:48.579 --> 00:17:48.839
 Nope,

00:17:49.139 --> 00:17:49.720
 you got it wrong.

00:17:50.900 --> 00:17:52.059
 And then one of the servants,

00:17:52.220 --> 00:17:52.819
 verse 26,

00:17:52.920 --> 00:17:53.920
 of the high priest,

00:17:54.480 --> 00:17:56.240
 a relative of Malchus.

00:17:58.900 --> 00:17:59.500
 This is where

00:17:59.500 --> 00:18:00.279
 it gets a little hot,

00:18:00.460 --> 00:18:00.920
 even hotter.

00:18:01.079 --> 00:18:01.279
 He's like,

00:18:01.279 --> 00:18:01.480
 hey,

00:18:01.539 --> 00:18:02.259
 didn't I see you

00:18:02.259 --> 00:18:02.779
 in the garden?

00:18:05.059 --> 00:18:05.819
 Weren't you there too?

00:18:08.700 --> 00:18:09.599
 Peter denies it.

00:18:09.599 --> 00:18:12.740
 These are two bookends,

00:18:13.939 --> 00:18:15.719
 interrogative bookends,

00:18:16.079 --> 00:18:17.819
 to what happens to Jesus.

00:18:17.959 --> 00:18:18.899
 Now let's look at that.

00:18:21.159 --> 00:18:22.879
 In verses 25,

00:18:23.159 --> 00:18:23.519
 excuse me,

00:18:23.559 --> 00:18:24.740
 19 through 24,

00:18:28.139 --> 00:18:29.179
 19,

00:18:29.379 --> 00:18:30.919
 Annas questions Jesus

00:18:30.919 --> 00:18:32.980
 about his disciples

00:18:32.980 --> 00:18:34.139
 and his teaching.

00:18:35.879 --> 00:18:37.819
 And in verse 20 through 21,

00:18:38.759 --> 00:18:40.319
 Jesus says this.

00:18:41.799 --> 00:18:43.179
 And it sounds a little rude

00:18:43.179 --> 00:18:43.579
 at first,

00:18:43.859 --> 00:18:45.299
 but hear it out.

00:18:46.619 --> 00:18:47.419
 He answered,

00:18:47.579 --> 00:18:48.519
 I have spoken openly

00:18:48.519 --> 00:18:49.220
 to the world.

00:18:49.359 --> 00:18:50.279
 I have always taught

00:18:50.279 --> 00:18:51.579
 in synagogues

00:18:51.579 --> 00:18:52.159
 and in the temple

00:18:52.159 --> 00:18:53.359
 where all the Jews

00:18:53.359 --> 00:18:54.240
 came together.

00:18:54.460 --> 00:18:55.679
 I have said nothing

00:18:55.679 --> 00:18:56.240
 in secret.

00:18:56.539 --> 00:18:57.200
 Why do you ask?

00:18:57.500 --> 00:18:58.919
 Ask those who have heard

00:18:58.919 --> 00:19:00.019
 me what I said,

00:19:00.139 --> 00:19:01.879
 have heard me

00:19:01.879 --> 00:19:02.819
 what I said to them.

00:19:03.539 --> 00:19:04.639
 They know what I said.

00:19:05.279 --> 00:19:05.839
 And so it sounds

00:19:05.839 --> 00:19:06.119
 kind of like,

00:19:06.200 --> 00:19:06.259
 well,

00:19:06.319 --> 00:19:06.519
 Jesus,

00:19:06.519 --> 00:19:07.940
 you're kind of being

00:19:07.940 --> 00:19:09.160
 kind of being

00:19:09.160 --> 00:19:11.319
 kind of a little rude there.

00:19:12.099 --> 00:19:13.160
 What he's doing is

00:19:13.160 --> 00:19:14.240
 he's appealing

00:19:14.240 --> 00:19:15.700
 to due process.

00:19:16.579 --> 00:19:17.420
 He's appealing

00:19:17.420 --> 00:19:18.099
 to facts.

00:19:19.279 --> 00:19:20.799
 He's appealing

00:19:20.799 --> 00:19:22.639
 to just the normal way

00:19:22.639 --> 00:19:24.200
 you go to figure out

00:19:24.200 --> 00:19:25.619
 if someone said something

00:19:25.619 --> 00:19:26.819
 to be true or not.

00:19:27.660 --> 00:19:28.339
 He's like,

00:19:28.579 --> 00:19:29.680
 there are witnesses,

00:19:29.819 --> 00:19:30.680
 you can talk to them.

00:19:31.759 --> 00:19:32.940
 You know what I've said.

00:19:32.940 --> 00:19:36.700
 And so what Jesus

00:19:36.700 --> 00:19:37.299
 is doing here,

00:19:37.400 --> 00:19:38.600
 he's keeping his head,

00:19:38.940 --> 00:19:39.519
 he's cool,

00:19:40.460 --> 00:19:41.779
 but he's also saying,

00:19:41.920 --> 00:19:42.000
 hey,

00:19:42.059 --> 00:19:43.220
 there's a process here.

00:19:45.620 --> 00:19:46.340
 And so,

00:19:46.920 --> 00:19:48.960
 he says in 21,

00:19:49.200 --> 00:19:50.860
 ask those who have heard me

00:19:50.860 --> 00:19:52.200
 what I said to them.

00:19:53.580 --> 00:19:54.940
 They know what I said.

00:19:54.940 --> 00:19:56.779
 And then,

00:19:57.100 --> 00:20:04.340
 an officer slaps him.

00:20:06.759 --> 00:20:07.500
 We're not told

00:20:07.500 --> 00:20:08.400
 if it's a backhand.

00:20:08.779 --> 00:20:09.539
 We're not told

00:20:09.539 --> 00:20:10.759
 if it's a forehand.

00:20:12.580 --> 00:20:14.420
 But what the officer

00:20:14.420 --> 00:20:15.440
 then says

00:20:15.440 --> 00:20:16.940
 is,

00:20:17.080 --> 00:20:18.700
 is that how you answer

00:20:18.700 --> 00:20:19.320
 the high priest?

00:20:21.779 --> 00:20:23.039
 You see what's going on here?

00:20:23.039 --> 00:20:24.119
 This is not an issue

00:20:24.119 --> 00:20:24.879
 of right or wrong.

00:20:25.220 --> 00:20:26.059
 This is not an issue

00:20:26.059 --> 00:20:26.960
 of what was said

00:20:26.960 --> 00:20:27.680
 or not said.

00:20:27.980 --> 00:20:28.779
 This is an issue

00:20:28.779 --> 00:20:29.779
 of who's in control,

00:20:30.299 --> 00:20:32.779
 who's being given respect.

00:20:35.559 --> 00:20:37.359
 He has no idea

00:20:37.359 --> 00:20:39.519
 that he just slapped

00:20:39.519 --> 00:20:42.440
 the face of God incarnate.

00:20:43.940 --> 00:20:44.819
 Very ironic.

00:20:46.500 --> 00:20:47.339
 No idea.

00:20:48.559 --> 00:20:49.700
 And then Jesus comes back

00:20:49.700 --> 00:20:50.519
 in verse 23,

00:20:50.519 --> 00:20:52.579
 and again,

00:20:53.079 --> 00:20:55.259
 he doesn't react in kind.

00:20:55.740 --> 00:20:56.180
 He says,

00:20:56.900 --> 00:20:58.299
 if what I said is wrong,

00:20:58.519 --> 00:21:00.299
 bear witness about the wrong.

00:21:01.220 --> 00:21:01.900
 Show me.

00:21:03.599 --> 00:21:05.339
 But if what I said is right,

00:21:05.900 --> 00:21:07.099
 why do you strike me?

00:21:09.619 --> 00:21:11.119
 And they don't even answer him.

00:21:13.359 --> 00:21:14.299
 Annas then sent him

00:21:14.299 --> 00:21:15.099
 bound to Caiaphas,

00:21:15.220 --> 00:21:15.799
 the high priest.

00:21:16.799 --> 00:21:17.220
 Oh yeah,

00:21:18.039 --> 00:21:18.720
 you need to go see

00:21:18.720 --> 00:21:19.259
 the high priest.

00:21:19.259 --> 00:21:23.420
 He's not even given an answer.

00:21:27.680 --> 00:21:30.000
 This contrast

00:21:30.000 --> 00:21:33.359
 is between Peter's denials,

00:21:33.859 --> 00:21:34.539
 the bookends,

00:21:34.900 --> 00:21:36.740
 and Jesus' truthfulness.

00:21:39.140 --> 00:21:40.259
 He remains true.

00:21:41.220 --> 00:21:42.259
 The contrast is between

00:21:42.779 --> 00:21:44.259
 Peter

00:21:44.259 --> 00:21:44.819
 Peter

00:21:44.819 --> 00:21:47.059
 caving

00:21:47.059 --> 00:21:49.640
 and Jesus

00:21:49.640 --> 00:21:51.720
 being courageous.

00:21:54.720 --> 00:21:56.379
 It's about

00:21:56.379 --> 00:21:59.119
 being faithful.

00:22:00.799 --> 00:22:02.079
 And the irony

00:22:02.079 --> 00:22:03.720
 is that Peter,

00:22:04.079 --> 00:22:05.359
 in order to avoid

00:22:05.359 --> 00:22:06.819
 the consequences

00:22:06.819 --> 00:22:08.779
 of being associated with Jesus,

00:22:09.319 --> 00:22:10.619
 denies Jesus

00:22:10.619 --> 00:22:12.659
 to a bunch of nobodies.

00:22:13.839 --> 00:22:14.879
 Where Jesus,

00:22:15.759 --> 00:22:17.379
 accepting the consequences,

00:22:17.519 --> 00:22:18.839
 he knows what's going to happen to him.

00:22:19.639 --> 00:22:21.299
 He stands his ground

00:22:21.299 --> 00:22:25.399
 to men who can kill him.

00:22:28.399 --> 00:22:29.919
 And one's named Annas.

00:22:31.419 --> 00:22:33.439
 And then Caiaphas' name is dropped.

00:22:33.440 --> 00:22:40.059
 There's a lot going on here

00:22:40.059 --> 00:22:40.600
 in this house.

00:22:43.500 --> 00:22:44.420
 There's also

00:22:44.420 --> 00:22:45.980
 fulfillment.

00:22:48.980 --> 00:22:50.140
 There's a bit of an ironic

00:22:50.140 --> 00:22:50.900
 fulfillment

00:22:50.900 --> 00:22:52.640
 in that it was Caiaphas

00:22:52.640 --> 00:22:54.740
 back in chapter 11

00:22:54.740 --> 00:22:56.299
 after Lazarus

00:22:56.299 --> 00:22:56.860
 has been raised

00:22:56.860 --> 00:22:57.400
 from the dead

00:22:57.400 --> 00:22:58.720
 and the Jewish leaders

00:22:58.720 --> 00:22:59.620
 are left scrambling

00:22:59.620 --> 00:23:00.280
 to figure out

00:23:00.280 --> 00:23:01.500
 how to keep this

00:23:01.500 --> 00:23:02.300
 under wraps.

00:23:03.140 --> 00:23:03.980
 It's Caiaphas

00:23:03.980 --> 00:23:04.560
 who says

00:23:04.560 --> 00:23:05.759
 that it's better

00:23:05.759 --> 00:23:06.900
 for one person

00:23:06.900 --> 00:23:08.060
 to die for the country,

00:23:08.480 --> 00:23:09.220
 for the nation.

00:23:10.160 --> 00:23:10.720
 And here it is

00:23:10.720 --> 00:23:11.380
 coming to pass.

00:23:12.960 --> 00:23:14.040
 But it's also

00:23:14.040 --> 00:23:14.680
 the fulfillment

00:23:14.680 --> 00:23:16.380
 of chapter 13

00:23:16.380 --> 00:23:17.180
 verse 38.

00:23:22.040 --> 00:23:23.220
 Simon Peter said to him,

00:23:23.259 --> 00:23:24.019
 this is 36,

00:23:24.300 --> 00:23:24.580
 Lord,

00:23:24.580 --> 00:23:25.360
 where are you going?

00:23:25.460 --> 00:23:26.019
 Jesus answered,

00:23:26.140 --> 00:23:26.980
 where I am going,

00:23:26.980 --> 00:23:28.400
 you cannot follow me now,

00:23:28.519 --> 00:23:30.180
 but you will follow afterwards.

00:23:30.519 --> 00:23:31.220
 Peter said to him,

00:23:31.460 --> 00:23:31.779
 Lord,

00:23:31.960 --> 00:23:33.839
 why can I not follow you now?

00:23:34.000 --> 00:23:34.980
 I will lay down

00:23:34.980 --> 00:23:36.360
 my life for you.

00:23:37.779 --> 00:23:38.759
 Jesus answered,

00:23:38.980 --> 00:23:39.559
 will you lay down

00:23:39.559 --> 00:23:40.140
 your life for me?

00:23:40.779 --> 00:23:41.319
 Truly, truly,

00:23:41.420 --> 00:23:42.099
 I say to you,

00:23:42.720 --> 00:23:43.360
 the rooster

00:23:43.360 --> 00:23:44.480
 will not crow

00:23:44.480 --> 00:23:45.980
 till you have denied me

00:23:45.980 --> 00:23:47.819
 three times.

00:23:50.259 --> 00:23:51.460
 Did everybody see?

00:23:53.880 --> 00:23:54.700
 Where is it?

00:23:54.700 --> 00:23:57.740
 the cock-a-doodle-doo?

00:24:02.299 --> 00:24:03.720
 Peter again denied it

00:24:03.720 --> 00:24:04.539
 and at once

00:24:04.539 --> 00:24:05.940
 a rooster crowed

00:24:05.940 --> 00:24:07.059
 verse 27.

00:24:08.660 --> 00:24:09.279
 You see,

00:24:09.519 --> 00:24:10.779
 there's nothing random

00:24:10.779 --> 00:24:11.960
 about this night.

00:24:13.680 --> 00:24:14.980
 Jesus absolutely knows

00:24:14.980 --> 00:24:15.880
 what's going on.

00:24:17.620 --> 00:24:19.299
 Everything's coming to pass

00:24:19.299 --> 00:24:20.700
 as God ordained it.

00:24:20.700 --> 00:24:24.559
 there's fulfillment,

00:24:24.819 --> 00:24:25.440
 there's irony,

00:24:25.600 --> 00:24:26.460
 there's contrast.

00:24:28.559 --> 00:24:29.640
 And now we move

00:24:29.640 --> 00:24:30.500
 to the last scene.

00:24:33.080 --> 00:24:34.059
 Roman HQ,

00:24:35.940 --> 00:24:36.880
 the praetorium

00:24:36.880 --> 00:24:38.440
 in verses 28 through 40.

00:24:40.299 --> 00:24:41.120
 Something interesting

00:24:41.120 --> 00:24:41.660
 happens

00:24:41.660 --> 00:24:43.940
 in verse 28.

00:24:44.640 --> 00:24:45.600
 Verse 28 says,

00:24:45.599 --> 00:24:46.699
 then they led Jesus

00:24:46.699 --> 00:24:47.839
 from the house of Caiaphas

00:24:47.839 --> 00:24:49.279
 to the governor's headquarters.

00:24:49.399 --> 00:24:50.240
 What's interesting is,

00:24:50.899 --> 00:24:51.679
 there's no account

00:24:51.679 --> 00:24:52.199
 of what happened

00:24:52.199 --> 00:24:53.199
 at Caiaphas' house.

00:24:54.559 --> 00:24:56.240
 We go from the end

00:24:56.240 --> 00:24:57.599
 of that second scene

00:24:57.599 --> 00:24:58.259
 with Annas,

00:24:58.299 --> 00:24:59.439
 he sends him to Caiaphas

00:24:59.439 --> 00:25:00.899
 and then this last scene

00:25:00.899 --> 00:25:01.659
 picks up with,

00:25:02.139 --> 00:25:03.359
 now Jesus is sent

00:25:03.359 --> 00:25:04.359
 from Caiaphas' house

00:25:04.359 --> 00:25:05.799
 to the praetorium.

00:25:06.259 --> 00:25:07.599
 And what it basically means

00:25:07.599 --> 00:25:09.439
 is Caiaphas found him guilty.

00:25:09.440 --> 00:25:12.500
 And now we've got

00:25:12.500 --> 00:25:13.680
 to send him to Pilate.

00:25:16.299 --> 00:25:17.259
 We've got to send him

00:25:17.259 --> 00:25:18.140
 to the praetorium.

00:25:19.460 --> 00:25:20.360
 And what's interesting

00:25:20.360 --> 00:25:21.460
 about this last scene,

00:25:21.539 --> 00:25:22.440
 it actually has

00:25:22.440 --> 00:25:24.360
 three acts to it.

00:25:26.340 --> 00:25:26.840
 Act one

00:25:26.840 --> 00:25:28.180
 takes place

00:25:28.180 --> 00:25:29.320
 outside the praetorium.

00:25:29.920 --> 00:25:30.460
 Act two

00:25:30.460 --> 00:25:31.180
 takes place

00:25:31.180 --> 00:25:32.420
 inside the praetorium.

00:25:32.920 --> 00:25:33.680
 And act three

00:25:33.680 --> 00:25:35.000
 is back outside

00:25:35.000 --> 00:25:35.720
 the praetorium.

00:25:36.400 --> 00:25:37.340
 So act one

00:25:37.339 --> 00:25:40.059
 is verses 28

00:25:40.059 --> 00:25:42.659
 through 32.

00:25:47.679 --> 00:25:48.359
 And

00:25:48.359 --> 00:25:50.699
 what happens here

00:25:50.699 --> 00:25:51.220
 is

00:25:51.220 --> 00:25:54.539
 it's early morning,

00:25:55.079 --> 00:25:56.240
 it's been a long night,

00:25:57.220 --> 00:25:58.099
 they show up

00:25:58.099 --> 00:25:59.679
 to the Roman praetorium

00:25:59.679 --> 00:26:01.419
 and they don't go in.

00:26:02.379 --> 00:26:03.240
 Pilate comes out

00:26:03.240 --> 00:26:06.299
 and Pilate asks them

00:26:06.299 --> 00:26:07.220
 what accusation

00:26:07.220 --> 00:26:07.619
 do you bring

00:26:07.619 --> 00:26:08.319
 against this man?

00:26:08.519 --> 00:26:09.299
 What's the charge?

00:26:09.700 --> 00:26:10.639
 And the Jews

00:26:10.639 --> 00:26:11.659
 who have brought him there,

00:26:12.099 --> 00:26:13.119
 they say,

00:26:13.460 --> 00:26:14.859
 trust us,

00:26:14.940 --> 00:26:16.180
 he's done evil,

00:26:16.299 --> 00:26:16.659
 okay?

00:26:17.919 --> 00:26:18.700
 We don't need

00:26:18.700 --> 00:26:19.159
 to make this

00:26:19.159 --> 00:26:19.879
 a big deal.

00:26:20.599 --> 00:26:22.379
 Just put your stamp

00:26:22.379 --> 00:26:23.039
 on this.

00:26:25.759 --> 00:26:26.240
 31,

00:26:27.359 --> 00:26:27.839
 Pilate says,

00:26:27.899 --> 00:26:28.720
 take him yourselves,

00:26:29.419 --> 00:26:29.740
 judge him

00:26:29.740 --> 00:26:30.519
 by your own law,

00:26:31.059 --> 00:26:31.839
 and then

00:26:31.839 --> 00:26:33.859
 the truth comes out.

00:26:33.859 --> 00:26:36.579
 the Jews

00:26:36.579 --> 00:26:37.000
 said to him,

00:26:37.059 --> 00:26:37.740
 it's not lawful

00:26:37.740 --> 00:26:38.159
 for us

00:26:38.159 --> 00:26:38.699
 to put anyone

00:26:38.699 --> 00:26:39.139
 to death.

00:26:40.879 --> 00:26:42.079
 At this time

00:26:42.079 --> 00:26:42.939
 in Jerusalem,

00:26:43.679 --> 00:26:44.899
 Rome was in control

00:26:44.899 --> 00:26:45.939
 and there was

00:26:45.939 --> 00:26:46.799
 no way

00:26:46.799 --> 00:26:47.839
 that Rome

00:26:47.839 --> 00:26:48.599
 would allow

00:26:48.599 --> 00:26:49.959
 people like the Jews

00:26:49.959 --> 00:26:50.799
 to be able

00:26:50.799 --> 00:26:51.759
 to put a criminal

00:26:51.759 --> 00:26:52.139
 to death.

00:26:52.259 --> 00:26:52.959
 That was

00:26:52.959 --> 00:26:53.899
 Roman business

00:26:53.899 --> 00:26:54.399
 only.

00:26:54.959 --> 00:26:55.479
 And so the reason

00:26:55.479 --> 00:26:55.959
 why the Jews

00:26:55.959 --> 00:26:56.759
 are there with Jesus

00:26:56.759 --> 00:26:58.099
 is to get his

00:26:58.099 --> 00:26:58.659
 okay

00:26:58.659 --> 00:26:59.759
 to put Jesus

00:26:59.759 --> 00:27:00.259
 to death.

00:27:00.859 --> 00:27:01.679
 So Caiaphas

00:27:01.680 --> 00:27:02.860
 found him guilty

00:27:02.860 --> 00:27:03.640
 of some kind

00:27:03.640 --> 00:27:04.220
 of crime

00:27:04.220 --> 00:27:05.460
 that was worthy

00:27:05.460 --> 00:27:06.279
 of death.

00:27:18.920 --> 00:27:19.799
 And then

00:27:19.799 --> 00:27:20.640
 Pilate wants

00:27:20.640 --> 00:27:21.420
 to know for himself.

00:27:23.019 --> 00:27:24.380
 So we move

00:27:24.380 --> 00:27:25.460
 to the second act

00:27:25.460 --> 00:27:25.960
 of the scene.

00:27:26.060 --> 00:27:26.820
 We go from being

00:27:26.820 --> 00:27:27.640
 outside

00:27:27.640 --> 00:27:29.140
 the praetorium,

00:27:29.279 --> 00:27:29.660
 the Jews

00:27:29.660 --> 00:27:30.799
 wanting Pilate

00:27:30.799 --> 00:27:31.639
 to kill him

00:27:31.639 --> 00:27:32.399
 and then

00:27:32.399 --> 00:27:33.440
 Pilate's like,

00:27:33.519 --> 00:27:33.639
 okay,

00:27:33.700 --> 00:27:34.579
 I gotta get the facts.

00:27:34.740 --> 00:27:35.180
 Let me talk

00:27:35.180 --> 00:27:36.319
 to this fellow

00:27:36.319 --> 00:27:36.819
 myself.

00:27:37.019 --> 00:27:37.319
 And so

00:27:37.319 --> 00:27:38.720
 verses 33

00:27:38.720 --> 00:27:39.799
 through 38,

00:27:40.220 --> 00:27:41.019
 he brings him

00:27:41.019 --> 00:27:42.019
 into the praetorium

00:27:42.019 --> 00:27:42.940
 and so it's just

00:27:42.940 --> 00:27:44.419
 Jesus and Pilate

00:27:44.419 --> 00:27:45.720
 having this

00:27:45.720 --> 00:27:46.659
 conversation

00:27:46.659 --> 00:27:48.119
 and Pilate

00:27:48.119 --> 00:27:48.859
 begins

00:27:48.859 --> 00:27:49.579
 in the most

00:27:49.579 --> 00:27:50.759
 interesting of ways.

00:27:52.659 --> 00:27:53.259
 33,

00:27:53.399 --> 00:27:53.899
 are you the king

00:27:53.899 --> 00:27:54.379
 of the Jews?

00:27:56.299 --> 00:27:57.119
 It's an interesting

00:27:57.119 --> 00:27:57.599
 way to start

00:27:57.599 --> 00:27:58.180
 a conversation.

00:27:58.180 --> 00:28:01.080
 You see,

00:28:02.100 --> 00:28:03.580
 he is not

00:28:03.580 --> 00:28:04.200
 interested.

00:28:05.240 --> 00:28:06.220
 He's not

00:28:06.220 --> 00:28:07.019
 interested in

00:28:07.019 --> 00:28:07.620
 whether Jesus

00:28:07.620 --> 00:28:08.240
 is the Jewish

00:28:08.240 --> 00:28:08.680
 Messiah.

00:28:09.519 --> 00:28:10.160
 He's not

00:28:10.160 --> 00:28:10.600
 interested in

00:28:10.600 --> 00:28:11.080
 what the Bible

00:28:11.080 --> 00:28:11.980
 says about Jesus.

00:28:12.400 --> 00:28:12.980
 He's not

00:28:12.980 --> 00:28:13.680
 interested in

00:28:13.680 --> 00:28:14.660
 what these

00:28:14.660 --> 00:28:15.720
 Jews are

00:28:15.720 --> 00:28:16.660
 trying to claim

00:28:16.660 --> 00:28:17.500
 about Jesus.

00:28:17.960 --> 00:28:18.120
 He,

00:28:18.259 --> 00:28:19.120
 representing Rome,

00:28:19.279 --> 00:28:20.080
 is interested

00:28:20.080 --> 00:28:20.960
 in whether or not

00:28:20.960 --> 00:28:21.799
 this man

00:28:21.799 --> 00:28:22.940
 poses a threat

00:28:22.940 --> 00:28:23.500
 to Rome.

00:28:24.200 --> 00:28:24.960
 Is he some

00:28:24.960 --> 00:28:25.360
 kind of

00:28:25.360 --> 00:28:26.320
 insurrectionist?

00:28:26.960 --> 00:28:27.559
 Is he going

00:28:27.559 --> 00:28:27.879
 to lead

00:28:27.879 --> 00:28:28.379
 some kind

00:28:28.379 --> 00:28:28.899
 of coup?

00:28:29.159 --> 00:28:29.599
 Is he going

00:28:29.599 --> 00:28:29.879
 to lead

00:28:29.879 --> 00:28:30.299
 some kind

00:28:30.299 --> 00:28:30.740
 of revolt?

00:28:31.099 --> 00:28:32.079
 That's why

00:28:32.079 --> 00:28:32.519
 he's now

00:28:32.519 --> 00:28:32.980
 going to talk

00:28:32.980 --> 00:28:33.299
 to him.

00:28:33.519 --> 00:28:33.839
 He's going

00:28:33.839 --> 00:28:34.319
 to find out

00:28:34.319 --> 00:28:34.839
 for himself

00:28:34.839 --> 00:28:35.700
 if he really

00:28:35.700 --> 00:28:36.200
 needs to be

00:28:36.200 --> 00:28:36.759
 put to death.

00:28:40.859 --> 00:28:41.599
 Jesus then

00:28:41.599 --> 00:28:41.960
 says,

00:28:42.480 --> 00:28:42.579
 hey,

00:28:42.599 --> 00:28:42.919
 do you say

00:28:42.919 --> 00:28:43.399
 this of your

00:28:43.399 --> 00:28:43.799
 own accord

00:28:43.799 --> 00:28:44.379
 or did others

00:28:44.379 --> 00:28:45.419
 say it about

00:28:45.419 --> 00:28:45.659
 me?

00:28:46.339 --> 00:28:47.200
 34 is basically,

00:28:47.460 --> 00:28:47.460


00:28:48.139 --> 00:28:48.639
 is this coming

00:28:48.639 --> 00:28:49.099
 from you

00:28:49.099 --> 00:28:50.759
 or do you

00:28:50.759 --> 00:28:52.039
 just hear this?

00:28:52.939 --> 00:28:53.419
 To which

00:28:53.419 --> 00:28:55.299
 Pilate says,

00:28:55.299 --> 00:28:57.259
 verse 35,

00:28:58.159 --> 00:28:59.539
 am I a Jew?

00:29:02.099 --> 00:29:02.539
 What,

00:29:02.579 --> 00:29:02.799
 you think

00:29:02.799 --> 00:29:03.299
 I'm Jewish?

00:29:04.500 --> 00:29:05.099
 You think

00:29:05.099 --> 00:29:05.659
 I care?

00:29:07.119 --> 00:29:07.720
 This is

00:29:07.720 --> 00:29:08.279
 scoffing.

00:29:11.159 --> 00:29:11.419
 It's like,

00:29:11.500 --> 00:29:12.759
 why are you

00:29:12.759 --> 00:29:13.159
 asking me

00:29:13.159 --> 00:29:13.460
 that?

00:29:14.980 --> 00:29:15.680
 And then

00:29:15.680 --> 00:29:16.419
 he says,

00:29:17.659 --> 00:29:18.240
 your own

00:29:18.240 --> 00:29:19.039
 nation and

00:29:19.039 --> 00:29:19.899
 chief priests

00:29:19.899 --> 00:29:20.539
 have delivered

00:29:20.539 --> 00:29:21.339
 you over to

00:29:21.339 --> 00:29:21.579
 me.

00:29:22.379 --> 00:29:22.759
 What have

00:29:22.759 --> 00:29:23.119
 you done?

00:29:23.119 --> 00:29:26.779
 you see,

00:29:27.000 --> 00:29:28.279
 Jesus is

00:29:28.279 --> 00:29:28.839
 trying to get

00:29:28.839 --> 00:29:29.619
 onto what

00:29:29.619 --> 00:29:29.739
 do you

00:29:29.739 --> 00:29:30.239
 believe about

00:29:30.239 --> 00:29:30.500
 me?

00:29:30.899 --> 00:29:31.839
 And Pilate's

00:29:31.839 --> 00:29:32.339
 kind of like,

00:29:32.679 --> 00:29:32.979
 what,

00:29:33.019 --> 00:29:33.500
 am I a Jew?

00:29:33.979 --> 00:29:34.879
 I don't care.

00:29:35.939 --> 00:29:36.759
 Do you not

00:29:36.759 --> 00:29:38.379
 realize that

00:29:38.379 --> 00:29:38.839
 you've been

00:29:38.839 --> 00:29:39.439
 delivered to

00:29:39.439 --> 00:29:39.739
 me?

00:29:41.119 --> 00:29:41.979
 Your people

00:29:41.979 --> 00:29:42.579
 delivered you

00:29:42.579 --> 00:29:43.139
 to me?

00:29:43.139 --> 00:29:43.899
 What have

00:29:43.899 --> 00:29:44.319
 you done?

00:29:44.319 --> 00:29:46.379
 at this

00:29:46.379 --> 00:29:46.740
 moment,

00:29:47.179 --> 00:29:47.519
 the reader

00:29:47.519 --> 00:29:48.159
 can think,

00:29:49.200 --> 00:29:49.639
 oh man,

00:29:49.799 --> 00:29:50.200
 Pilate's

00:29:50.200 --> 00:29:50.779
 in control.

00:29:51.480 --> 00:29:51.960
 What's

00:29:51.960 --> 00:29:52.200
 going to

00:29:52.200 --> 00:29:52.539
 happen?

00:29:53.759 --> 00:29:54.139
 But that's

00:29:54.139 --> 00:29:54.619
 the irony

00:29:54.619 --> 00:29:55.000
 of this

00:29:55.000 --> 00:29:55.339
 moment.

00:29:56.679 --> 00:29:57.339
 What do

00:29:57.339 --> 00:29:57.700
 we know?

00:29:59.399 --> 00:30:00.259
 What we

00:30:00.259 --> 00:30:00.659
 know

00:30:00.659 --> 00:30:02.319
 is,

00:30:02.700 --> 00:30:03.039
 yes,

00:30:04.319 --> 00:30:05.700
 he has

00:30:05.700 --> 00:30:06.200
 been delivered

00:30:06.200 --> 00:30:06.659
 over to

00:30:06.659 --> 00:30:07.319
 Pilate by

00:30:07.319 --> 00:30:08.359
 these Jewish

00:30:08.359 --> 00:30:08.819
 leaders,

00:30:09.379 --> 00:30:10.539
 but this

00:30:10.539 --> 00:30:11.139
 is God

00:30:11.139 --> 00:30:11.659
 at work.

00:30:11.660 --> 00:30:13.680
 this is

00:30:13.680 --> 00:30:14.320
 God behind

00:30:14.320 --> 00:30:14.779
 the scenes

00:30:14.779 --> 00:30:15.240
 bringing to

00:30:15.240 --> 00:30:15.700
 pass his

00:30:15.700 --> 00:30:15.980
 will.

00:30:17.040 --> 00:30:17.240
 And then

00:30:17.240 --> 00:30:17.460
 when he

00:30:17.460 --> 00:30:17.660
 says,

00:30:17.800 --> 00:30:18.080
 what have

00:30:18.080 --> 00:30:18.500
 you done?

00:30:19.460 --> 00:30:20.560
 We know

00:30:20.560 --> 00:30:22.420
 our Lord

00:30:22.420 --> 00:30:23.100
 has been

00:30:23.100 --> 00:30:23.640
 obedient.

00:30:25.120 --> 00:30:25.540
 He's been

00:30:25.540 --> 00:30:26.120
 faithful.

00:30:27.019 --> 00:30:27.480
 He's done

00:30:27.480 --> 00:30:28.360
 nothing wrong.

00:30:29.220 --> 00:30:30.279
 He's allowed

00:30:30.279 --> 00:30:31.759
 himself to

00:30:31.759 --> 00:30:32.600
 be slapped

00:30:32.600 --> 00:30:33.980
 and mocked

00:30:33.980 --> 00:30:34.920
 and brought

00:30:34.920 --> 00:30:35.460
 to this

00:30:35.460 --> 00:30:35.980
 place.

00:30:36.400 --> 00:30:36.820
 That's what

00:30:36.820 --> 00:30:37.300
 we know.

00:30:41.660 --> 00:30:44.660
 Jesus

00:30:44.660 --> 00:30:45.519
 says,

00:30:45.640 --> 00:30:46.000
 my kingdom

00:30:46.000 --> 00:30:46.400
 is not

00:30:46.400 --> 00:30:46.680
 of this

00:30:46.680 --> 00:30:47.060
 world.

00:30:47.920 --> 00:30:48.480
 If my

00:30:48.480 --> 00:30:48.759
 kingdom

00:30:48.759 --> 00:30:49.180
 were of

00:30:49.180 --> 00:30:49.380
 this

00:30:49.380 --> 00:30:49.740
 world,

00:30:49.900 --> 00:30:50.080
 my

00:30:50.080 --> 00:30:50.420
 servants

00:30:50.420 --> 00:30:50.680
 would

00:30:50.680 --> 00:30:50.860
 have

00:30:50.860 --> 00:30:51.680
 been

00:30:51.680 --> 00:30:52.100
 fighting.

00:30:52.600 --> 00:30:52.720
 At

00:30:52.720 --> 00:30:52.900
 this

00:30:52.900 --> 00:30:53.080
 point,

00:30:53.140 --> 00:30:53.259
 I'm

00:30:53.259 --> 00:30:53.600
 guessing

00:30:53.600 --> 00:30:54.340
 he's

00:30:54.340 --> 00:30:54.980
 like,

00:30:55.519 --> 00:30:56.140
 kind of

00:30:56.140 --> 00:30:56.480
 except

00:30:56.480 --> 00:30:56.920
 Peter,

00:30:57.500 --> 00:30:57.820
 kind of

00:30:57.820 --> 00:30:58.100
 a thing,

00:30:59.740 --> 00:31:00.140
 that I

00:31:00.140 --> 00:31:00.420
 might not

00:31:00.420 --> 00:31:00.840
 be delivered

00:31:00.840 --> 00:31:01.180
 over to

00:31:01.180 --> 00:31:01.580
 the Jews,

00:31:01.700 --> 00:31:02.019
 but my

00:31:02.019 --> 00:31:02.240
 kingdom

00:31:02.240 --> 00:31:02.620
 is not

00:31:02.620 --> 00:31:02.960
 from this

00:31:02.960 --> 00:31:03.140
 world.

00:31:03.240 --> 00:31:03.519
 Twice

00:31:03.519 --> 00:31:03.900
 he says,

00:31:03.980 --> 00:31:04.120
 my

00:31:04.120 --> 00:31:04.320
 kingdom

00:31:04.320 --> 00:31:04.680
 is not

00:31:04.680 --> 00:31:05.019
 from this

00:31:05.019 --> 00:31:05.240
 world.

00:31:05.340 --> 00:31:05.400
 And

00:31:05.400 --> 00:31:05.600
 here's

00:31:05.600 --> 00:31:05.720
 what

00:31:05.720 --> 00:31:05.860
 he's

00:31:05.860 --> 00:31:06.080
 getting

00:31:06.080 --> 00:31:06.320
 at.

00:31:06.640 --> 00:31:06.920
 My

00:31:06.920 --> 00:31:08.040
 kingdom,

00:31:08.440 --> 00:31:09.500
 my reign

00:31:09.500 --> 00:31:11.259
 didn't

00:31:11.259 --> 00:31:11.779
 originate

00:31:11.779 --> 00:31:12.180
 from the

00:31:12.180 --> 00:31:12.440
 world.

00:31:12.539 --> 00:31:12.720
 It

00:31:12.720 --> 00:31:13.200
 originated

00:31:13.200 --> 00:31:13.480
 from

00:31:13.480 --> 00:31:13.759
 heaven.

00:31:14.119 --> 00:31:14.359
 That's

00:31:14.359 --> 00:31:14.720
 why I

00:31:14.720 --> 00:31:14.920
 was

00:31:14.920 --> 00:31:15.240
 sent.

00:31:15.539 --> 00:31:15.680
 In

00:31:15.680 --> 00:31:16.000
 fact,

00:31:16.220 --> 00:31:16.579
 those

00:31:16.579 --> 00:31:17.140
 citizens

00:31:17.140 --> 00:31:17.819
 of mine

00:31:17.819 --> 00:31:18.079
 are

00:31:18.079 --> 00:31:18.779
 called

00:31:18.779 --> 00:31:19.119
 out

00:31:19.119 --> 00:31:19.720
 from

00:31:19.720 --> 00:31:19.980
 the

00:31:19.980 --> 00:31:20.299
 world.

00:31:20.400 --> 00:31:20.579
 They've

00:31:20.579 --> 00:31:20.759
 been

00:31:20.759 --> 00:31:21.079
 made

00:31:21.079 --> 00:31:21.519
 new.

00:31:22.619 --> 00:31:23.220
 They've

00:31:23.220 --> 00:31:23.480
 been

00:31:23.480 --> 00:31:23.819
 born

00:31:23.819 --> 00:31:24.299
 again.

00:31:25.519 --> 00:31:26.099
 They're

00:31:26.099 --> 00:31:26.500
 no longer

00:31:26.500 --> 00:31:27.119
 of this

00:31:27.119 --> 00:31:27.640
 world.

00:31:28.940 --> 00:31:29.519
 To

00:31:29.519 --> 00:31:29.740
 which

00:31:29.740 --> 00:31:30.380
 Pilate

00:31:30.380 --> 00:31:30.599
 says,

00:31:30.700 --> 00:31:31.079
 so you

00:31:31.079 --> 00:31:31.579
 are a

00:31:31.579 --> 00:31:31.920
 king.

00:31:32.240 --> 00:31:32.799
 Kingdom,

00:31:33.380 --> 00:31:33.759
 you must

00:31:33.759 --> 00:31:34.119
 be a

00:31:34.119 --> 00:31:34.359
 king.

00:31:35.440 --> 00:31:35.779
 Jesus

00:31:35.779 --> 00:31:36.200
 says,

00:31:37.779 --> 00:31:39.039
 you

00:31:39.039 --> 00:31:39.259
 say

00:31:39.259 --> 00:31:39.559
 so.

00:31:42.059 --> 00:31:42.619
 And

00:31:42.619 --> 00:31:43.139
 then we

00:31:43.139 --> 00:31:43.579
 learn

00:31:43.579 --> 00:31:44.119
 something.

00:31:45.399 --> 00:31:45.940
 In

00:31:45.940 --> 00:31:46.759
 verse 37,

00:31:47.539 --> 00:31:47.759
 Jesus

00:31:47.759 --> 00:31:48.159
 says,

00:31:48.339 --> 00:31:48.599
 for this

00:31:48.599 --> 00:31:49.200
 purpose I

00:31:49.200 --> 00:31:49.819
 was born,

00:31:50.980 --> 00:31:51.299
 and for

00:31:51.299 --> 00:31:51.819
 this person

00:31:51.819 --> 00:31:52.899
 I've come

00:31:52.899 --> 00:31:53.339
 into the

00:31:53.339 --> 00:31:53.639
 world.

00:31:53.899 --> 00:31:54.279
 This is

00:31:54.279 --> 00:31:54.899
 my reason

00:31:54.899 --> 00:31:55.559
 for coming.

00:31:56.680 --> 00:31:56.980
 He's

00:31:56.980 --> 00:31:57.200
 telling

00:31:57.200 --> 00:31:57.779
 Pilate

00:31:57.779 --> 00:31:58.200
 this.

00:31:59.319 --> 00:31:59.500
 Who

00:31:59.500 --> 00:32:01.200
 is

00:32:01.200 --> 00:32:01.759
 holding

00:32:01.759 --> 00:32:02.399
 the

00:32:02.399 --> 00:32:02.920
 authority

00:32:02.920 --> 00:32:03.460
 to kill

00:32:03.460 --> 00:32:03.740
 him?

00:32:06.079 --> 00:32:06.659
 He

00:32:06.659 --> 00:32:07.059
 says,

00:32:07.700 --> 00:32:07.819
 I've

00:32:07.819 --> 00:32:07.940
 been

00:32:07.940 --> 00:32:08.319
 born of

00:32:08.319 --> 00:32:08.599
 this,

00:32:09.039 --> 00:32:09.299
 this is

00:32:09.299 --> 00:32:09.440
 what I

00:32:09.440 --> 00:32:09.519
 was

00:32:09.519 --> 00:32:09.759
 born

00:32:09.759 --> 00:32:10.139
 for,

00:32:10.440 --> 00:32:10.779
 what I've

00:32:10.779 --> 00:32:11.019
 come

00:32:11.019 --> 00:32:11.440
 for,

00:32:11.839 --> 00:32:12.379
 to bear

00:32:12.379 --> 00:32:13.319
 witness to

00:32:13.319 --> 00:32:14.099
 the truth.

00:32:14.759 --> 00:32:15.079
 To

00:32:15.079 --> 00:32:15.659
 proclaim

00:32:15.659 --> 00:32:17.019
 that God

00:32:17.019 --> 00:32:17.539
 has sent

00:32:17.539 --> 00:32:18.119
 me his

00:32:18.119 --> 00:32:19.200
 Messiah to

00:32:19.200 --> 00:32:19.700
 die in

00:32:19.700 --> 00:32:20.279
 the place

00:32:20.279 --> 00:32:20.980
 of sinners

00:32:20.980 --> 00:32:21.819
 under God's

00:32:21.819 --> 00:32:22.180
 wrath.

00:32:22.779 --> 00:32:23.579
 To bring

00:32:23.579 --> 00:32:24.259
 them new

00:32:24.259 --> 00:32:24.740
 life,

00:32:24.859 --> 00:32:25.180
 eternal

00:32:25.180 --> 00:32:25.639
 life.

00:32:25.899 --> 00:32:26.460
 To bring

00:32:26.460 --> 00:32:27.159
 about a

00:32:27.159 --> 00:32:27.639
 whole new

00:32:27.639 --> 00:32:28.019
 kingdom.

00:32:28.659 --> 00:32:29.259
 This is

00:32:29.259 --> 00:32:29.559
 him,

00:32:30.139 --> 00:32:30.799
 what he's

00:32:30.799 --> 00:32:31.240
 talking about,

00:32:31.279 --> 00:32:31.559
 to bear

00:32:31.559 --> 00:32:32.039
 witness to

00:32:32.039 --> 00:32:32.559
 the truth.

00:32:34.480 --> 00:32:35.180
 And then

00:32:35.180 --> 00:32:35.680
 he says,

00:32:35.680 --> 00:32:38.820
 everyone who

00:32:38.820 --> 00:32:39.539
 is of the

00:32:39.539 --> 00:32:40.200
 truth listens

00:32:40.200 --> 00:32:40.620
 to me.

00:32:41.420 --> 00:32:41.740
 Remember

00:32:41.740 --> 00:32:42.299
 back in

00:32:42.299 --> 00:32:42.900
 John 10

00:32:42.900 --> 00:32:43.360
 where Jesus

00:32:43.360 --> 00:32:44.039
 talks about

00:32:44.039 --> 00:32:45.060
 my sheep

00:32:45.060 --> 00:32:45.660
 hear my

00:32:45.660 --> 00:32:46.320
 voice and

00:32:46.320 --> 00:32:46.960
 follow me?

00:32:49.320 --> 00:32:49.920
 You

00:32:49.920 --> 00:32:50.740
 hear

00:32:50.740 --> 00:32:51.940
 Jesus

00:32:51.940 --> 00:32:53.000
 witness to

00:32:53.000 --> 00:32:53.660
 the truth

00:32:53.660 --> 00:32:54.240
 and you're

00:32:54.240 --> 00:32:54.440
 like,

00:32:54.539 --> 00:32:54.759
 yeah,

00:32:55.200 --> 00:32:55.600
 I'm

00:32:55.600 --> 00:32:55.880
 following

00:32:55.880 --> 00:32:56.259
 him.

00:32:57.259 --> 00:32:57.700
 I'm

00:32:57.700 --> 00:32:57.900
 in.

00:32:57.900 --> 00:32:57.900


00:32:57.900 --> 00:32:57.960
 in.

00:32:57.960 --> 00:33:04.100
 Interestingly

00:33:04.100 --> 00:33:04.700
 enough,

00:33:06.279 --> 00:33:06.579
 Pilate

00:33:06.579 --> 00:33:07.079
 said to

00:33:07.079 --> 00:33:07.340
 him,

00:33:08.480 --> 00:33:09.660
 what is

00:33:09.660 --> 00:33:09.980
 truth?

00:33:11.960 --> 00:33:12.860
 This is

00:33:12.860 --> 00:33:13.100
 not

00:33:13.100 --> 00:33:13.600
 Pilate

00:33:13.600 --> 00:33:15.259
 having an

00:33:15.259 --> 00:33:15.720
 honest

00:33:15.720 --> 00:33:16.660
 philosophical

00:33:16.660 --> 00:33:17.400
 question

00:33:17.400 --> 00:33:18.319
 about the

00:33:18.319 --> 00:33:18.940
 chorus upon

00:33:18.940 --> 00:33:19.480
 its theory

00:33:19.480 --> 00:33:20.059
 of truth.

00:33:20.920 --> 00:33:21.299
 Jesus,

00:33:21.400 --> 00:33:21.700
 now that I

00:33:21.700 --> 00:33:21.940
 got you

00:33:21.940 --> 00:33:22.200
 for a

00:33:22.200 --> 00:33:22.299
 minute,

00:33:22.400 --> 00:33:22.660
 can you

00:33:22.660 --> 00:33:23.079
 kind of

00:33:23.079 --> 00:33:23.720
 explain to

00:33:23.720 --> 00:33:24.100
 me the

00:33:24.100 --> 00:33:24.600
 philosophical

00:33:24.600 --> 00:33:25.200
 tenets of

00:33:25.200 --> 00:33:25.319
 this?

00:33:25.380 --> 00:33:25.600
 I just

00:33:25.600 --> 00:33:25.740
 don't

00:33:25.740 --> 00:33:26.240
 understand

00:33:26.240 --> 00:33:27.079
 truth.

00:33:27.079 --> 00:33:27.839
 That's

00:33:27.839 --> 00:33:28.099
 not what

00:33:28.099 --> 00:33:28.220
 he's

00:33:28.220 --> 00:33:28.399
 doing.

00:33:29.659 --> 00:33:30.279
 This is

00:33:30.279 --> 00:33:30.779
 more along

00:33:30.779 --> 00:33:31.099
 the lines

00:33:31.099 --> 00:33:31.339
 of what

00:33:31.339 --> 00:33:31.619
 he said

00:33:31.619 --> 00:33:31.879
 in verse

00:33:31.879 --> 00:33:32.720
 35.

00:33:33.799 --> 00:33:34.019
 What,

00:33:34.059 --> 00:33:34.199
 am I

00:33:34.199 --> 00:33:34.500
 a Jew?

00:33:35.779 --> 00:33:36.199
 It's

00:33:36.199 --> 00:33:36.299
 like,

00:33:36.379 --> 00:33:36.679
 what is

00:33:36.679 --> 00:33:37.099
 truth?

00:33:38.000 --> 00:33:38.319
 It's a

00:33:38.319 --> 00:33:38.740
 scoff.

00:33:39.740 --> 00:33:40.119
 What are

00:33:40.119 --> 00:33:40.480
 you talking

00:33:40.480 --> 00:33:40.879
 about?

00:33:41.539 --> 00:33:42.019
 Truth.

00:33:43.059 --> 00:33:43.759
 At this

00:33:43.759 --> 00:33:44.159
 moment,

00:33:44.319 --> 00:33:44.919
 I think

00:33:44.919 --> 00:33:46.179
 Pilate has

00:33:46.179 --> 00:33:46.599
 come to

00:33:46.599 --> 00:33:47.319
 the realization

00:33:47.319 --> 00:33:48.559
 that Jesus

00:33:48.559 --> 00:33:49.159
 is just

00:33:49.159 --> 00:33:49.819
 some kind

00:33:49.819 --> 00:33:50.419
 of

00:33:50.419 --> 00:33:52.480
 idealistic

00:33:52.480 --> 00:33:53.379
 leader of

00:33:53.379 --> 00:33:53.899
 a Jewish

00:33:53.899 --> 00:33:54.419
 sect

00:33:54.419 --> 00:33:55.079
 and poses

00:33:55.079 --> 00:33:55.980
 no threat

00:33:55.980 --> 00:33:56.759
 to

00:33:56.759 --> 00:33:57.960
 the Roman

00:33:57.960 --> 00:33:58.559
 nation.

00:34:02.879 --> 00:34:03.579
 What is

00:34:03.579 --> 00:34:03.980
 truth?

00:34:05.879 --> 00:34:06.440
 Ironically,

00:34:06.779 --> 00:34:07.400
 he is

00:34:07.400 --> 00:34:08.280
 speaking to

00:34:08.280 --> 00:34:09.300
 I am

00:34:09.300 --> 00:34:10.860
 the way,

00:34:11.039 --> 00:34:11.519
 the truth,

00:34:11.579 --> 00:34:11.780
 and the

00:34:11.780 --> 00:34:12.119
 life.

00:34:13.280 --> 00:34:13.480
 He's

00:34:13.480 --> 00:34:13.800
 talking to

00:34:13.800 --> 00:34:14.559
 truth incarnate.

00:34:18.880 --> 00:34:19.400
 So,

00:34:19.659 --> 00:34:20.099
 in the

00:34:20.099 --> 00:34:20.440
 middle of

00:34:20.440 --> 00:34:21.420
 verse 38,

00:34:21.800 --> 00:34:22.719
 the scene

00:34:22.719 --> 00:34:23.099
 changes,

00:34:23.199 --> 00:34:23.679
 the act

00:34:23.679 --> 00:34:24.219
 changes.

00:34:24.440 --> 00:34:24.760
 It goes

00:34:24.760 --> 00:34:25.780
 from being

00:34:25.780 --> 00:34:26.060
 in the

00:34:26.060 --> 00:34:26.540
 praetorium

00:34:26.540 --> 00:34:27.420
 now back

00:34:27.420 --> 00:34:28.240
 outside.

00:34:29.840 --> 00:34:30.680
 Pilate has

00:34:30.680 --> 00:34:31.400
 made his

00:34:31.400 --> 00:34:31.840
 decision,

00:34:32.200 --> 00:34:32.560
 and he

00:34:32.560 --> 00:34:33.080
 says,

00:34:33.620 --> 00:34:33.920
 he went

00:34:33.920 --> 00:34:34.400
 back outside

00:34:34.400 --> 00:34:34.660
 to the

00:34:34.660 --> 00:34:34.940
 Jews and

00:34:34.940 --> 00:34:35.200
 told them,

00:34:35.400 --> 00:34:35.860
 I find

00:34:35.860 --> 00:34:36.440
 no guilt

00:34:36.440 --> 00:34:36.980
 in him.

00:34:37.060 --> 00:34:37.420
 That's a

00:34:37.420 --> 00:34:38.000
 contrast.

00:34:38.440 --> 00:34:38.880
 The Jews

00:34:38.880 --> 00:34:39.260
 find him

00:34:39.260 --> 00:34:39.620
 guilty,

00:34:40.040 --> 00:34:41.120
 and Pilate

00:34:41.120 --> 00:34:41.720
 finds him

00:34:41.720 --> 00:34:42.480
 not guilty.

00:34:42.480 --> 00:34:52.260
 Pilate has

00:34:52.260 --> 00:34:52.719
 an idea.

00:34:54.599 --> 00:34:54.920
 Say,

00:34:55.000 --> 00:34:55.179
 hey, I

00:34:55.179 --> 00:34:55.440
 don't find

00:34:55.440 --> 00:34:55.740
 him guilty,

00:34:55.860 --> 00:34:56.039
 but I

00:34:56.039 --> 00:34:56.240
 think we

00:34:56.240 --> 00:34:56.519
 can work

00:34:56.519 --> 00:34:56.760
 a deal

00:34:56.760 --> 00:34:56.980
 here.

00:35:00.039 --> 00:35:00.559
 You know

00:35:00.559 --> 00:35:01.219
 that tradition

00:35:01.219 --> 00:35:01.699
 we do

00:35:01.699 --> 00:35:02.760
 where every

00:35:02.760 --> 00:35:03.659
 Passover I

00:35:03.659 --> 00:35:05.519
 release a

00:35:05.519 --> 00:35:05.880
 criminal?

00:35:06.880 --> 00:35:07.340
 How about we

00:35:07.340 --> 00:35:07.800
 do that with

00:35:07.800 --> 00:35:08.159
 the king of

00:35:08.159 --> 00:35:08.460
 the Jews?

00:35:08.519 --> 00:35:08.940
 I'll release

00:35:08.940 --> 00:35:09.400
 him to you.

00:35:09.400 --> 00:35:10.460
 So what's

00:35:10.460 --> 00:35:10.860
 being put

00:35:10.860 --> 00:35:11.340
 back on

00:35:11.340 --> 00:35:11.740
 the Jews

00:35:11.740 --> 00:35:12.160
 is an

00:35:12.160 --> 00:35:12.700
 opportunity

00:35:12.700 --> 00:35:13.619
 for them

00:35:13.619 --> 00:35:14.420
 to choose

00:35:14.420 --> 00:35:15.820
 who will

00:35:15.820 --> 00:35:16.680
 be released.

00:35:18.400 --> 00:35:19.400
 And they

00:35:19.400 --> 00:35:19.980
 say,

00:35:20.619 --> 00:35:22.240
 not this

00:35:22.240 --> 00:35:22.579
 man.

00:35:25.300 --> 00:35:26.220
 Give us

00:35:26.220 --> 00:35:26.820
 Barabbas,

00:35:28.119 --> 00:35:30.619
 a robber,

00:35:31.800 --> 00:35:33.619
 a real

00:35:33.619 --> 00:35:34.800
 insurrectionist.

00:35:34.800 --> 00:35:39.640
 It's

00:35:39.640 --> 00:35:40.039
 ironic

00:35:40.039 --> 00:35:43.640
 that an

00:35:43.640 --> 00:35:44.700
 insurrectionist,

00:35:45.440 --> 00:35:47.100
 one who

00:35:47.100 --> 00:35:47.600
 has no

00:35:47.600 --> 00:35:48.480
 legal claim,

00:35:49.560 --> 00:35:50.019
 one who's

00:35:50.019 --> 00:35:50.460
 leading a

00:35:50.460 --> 00:35:51.700
 revolt of

00:35:51.700 --> 00:35:52.320
 violence,

00:35:52.740 --> 00:35:53.300
 is chosen

00:35:53.300 --> 00:35:53.980
 over the

00:35:53.980 --> 00:35:55.100
 one who's

00:35:55.100 --> 00:35:55.680
 the true

00:35:55.680 --> 00:35:56.160
 king,

00:35:57.480 --> 00:35:58.140
 who's

00:35:58.140 --> 00:35:58.640
 bringing a

00:35:58.640 --> 00:35:59.980
 kingdom of

00:35:59.980 --> 00:36:00.420
 life.

00:36:00.420 --> 00:36:00.420


00:36:00.420 --> 00:36:00.420


00:36:00.420 --> 00:36:00.420


00:36:00.420 --> 00:36:04.780
 the

00:36:04.800 --> 00:36:05.480
 God's

00:36:05.480 --> 00:36:05.840
 God's

00:36:05.800 --> 00:36:05.940
 It's a

00:36:05.940 --> 00:36:06.580
 pretty amazing

00:36:06.580 --> 00:36:07.140
 scene.

00:36:10.600 --> 00:36:11.400
 And there's

00:36:11.400 --> 00:36:11.860
 fulfillment.

00:36:16.700 --> 00:36:17.280
 The

00:36:17.280 --> 00:36:18.220
 fulfillment is

00:36:18.220 --> 00:36:19.580
 from John

00:36:19.580 --> 00:36:20.380
 chapter 12

00:36:20.380 --> 00:36:20.900
 where Jesus

00:36:20.900 --> 00:36:21.519
 talks about

00:36:21.519 --> 00:36:21.880
 that he

00:36:21.880 --> 00:36:22.340
 must be

00:36:22.340 --> 00:36:22.960
 lifted up.

00:36:23.180 --> 00:36:23.680
 The only

00:36:23.680 --> 00:36:24.080
 way that

00:36:24.080 --> 00:36:24.560
 Jesus could

00:36:24.560 --> 00:36:24.960
 be lifted

00:36:24.960 --> 00:36:26.340
 up on

00:36:26.340 --> 00:36:27.039
 a cross

00:36:27.039 --> 00:36:28.380
 is if he

00:36:28.380 --> 00:36:29.140
 was condemned

00:36:29.140 --> 00:36:31.080
 by Pilate.

00:36:32.019 --> 00:36:32.600
 It's

00:36:32.600 --> 00:36:32.880
 Roman

00:36:32.880 --> 00:36:33.460
 execution.

00:36:33.460 --> 00:36:35.220
 It had

00:36:35.220 --> 00:36:35.720
 to happen.

00:36:36.059 --> 00:36:36.380
 There's

00:36:36.380 --> 00:36:37.460
 nothing

00:36:37.460 --> 00:36:37.880
 random

00:36:37.880 --> 00:36:38.240
 about

00:36:38.240 --> 00:36:38.679
 this.

00:36:40.340 --> 00:36:40.639
 In

00:36:40.639 --> 00:36:40.940
 fact,

00:36:41.740 --> 00:36:42.920
 one of

00:36:42.920 --> 00:36:43.280
 the greatest

00:36:43.280 --> 00:36:43.920
 ironies of

00:36:43.920 --> 00:36:44.720
 this section

00:36:44.720 --> 00:36:46.679
 is why

00:36:46.679 --> 00:36:47.460
 Pilate is

00:36:47.460 --> 00:36:48.220
 outside.

00:36:49.579 --> 00:36:50.300
 The Jews,

00:36:51.099 --> 00:36:51.579
 if you look

00:36:51.579 --> 00:36:52.320
 at verse

00:36:52.320 --> 00:36:52.880
 28,

00:36:54.000 --> 00:36:54.760
 they themselves

00:36:54.760 --> 00:36:55.099
 did not

00:36:55.099 --> 00:36:55.519
 enter the

00:36:55.519 --> 00:36:55.960
 governor's

00:36:55.960 --> 00:36:56.619
 headquarters

00:36:56.619 --> 00:36:57.220
 so that

00:36:57.220 --> 00:36:57.519
 they would

00:36:57.519 --> 00:36:57.860
 not be

00:36:57.860 --> 00:36:58.440
 defiled

00:36:58.440 --> 00:36:59.460
 or could

00:36:59.460 --> 00:36:59.720
 eat the

00:36:59.720 --> 00:37:00.220
 Passover.

00:37:00.219 --> 00:37:04.699
 they are

00:37:04.699 --> 00:37:05.839
 willing to

00:37:05.839 --> 00:37:06.500
 put to

00:37:06.500 --> 00:37:07.219
 death an

00:37:07.219 --> 00:37:07.679
 innocent

00:37:07.679 --> 00:37:10.199
 man and

00:37:10.199 --> 00:37:10.439
 yet,

00:37:11.119 --> 00:37:11.359
 you know,

00:37:11.399 --> 00:37:11.759
 in order to

00:37:11.759 --> 00:37:12.779
 eat this

00:37:12.779 --> 00:37:13.099
 meal,

00:37:13.219 --> 00:37:13.559
 we've got to

00:37:13.559 --> 00:37:14.259
 stay outside.

00:37:15.439 --> 00:37:15.699
 Isn't that

00:37:15.699 --> 00:37:16.059
 ridiculous?

00:37:17.519 --> 00:37:18.279
 They have no

00:37:18.279 --> 00:37:18.679
 idea who

00:37:18.679 --> 00:37:19.159
 this is.

00:37:21.759 --> 00:37:23.059
 This is full

00:37:23.059 --> 00:37:24.219
 of contrasts.

00:37:24.219 --> 00:37:26.959
 Jesus,

00:37:27.219 --> 00:37:27.459
 who's

00:37:27.459 --> 00:37:27.879
 innocent,

00:37:28.019 --> 00:37:28.500
 is being

00:37:28.500 --> 00:37:29.399
 swapped out

00:37:29.399 --> 00:37:29.919
 for

00:37:29.919 --> 00:37:30.939
 Barabbas,

00:37:31.059 --> 00:37:31.739
 who is

00:37:31.739 --> 00:37:32.899
 guilty.

00:37:33.619 --> 00:37:34.379
 It's ironic.

00:37:34.699 --> 00:37:35.119
 It's full

00:37:35.119 --> 00:37:35.779
 of fulfillment.

00:37:37.139 --> 00:37:37.859
 So,

00:37:38.539 --> 00:37:39.419
 it's a long

00:37:39.419 --> 00:37:39.719
 night.

00:37:41.619 --> 00:37:42.579
 These three

00:37:42.579 --> 00:37:43.239
 scenes

00:37:43.239 --> 00:37:45.339
 put together

00:37:45.339 --> 00:37:45.919
 represent

00:37:45.919 --> 00:37:47.439
 one long

00:37:47.439 --> 00:37:48.159
 night,

00:37:48.480 --> 00:37:49.259
 the last

00:37:49.259 --> 00:37:50.019
 night of

00:37:50.019 --> 00:37:50.359
 Jesus.

00:37:50.579 --> 00:37:51.099
 It's filled

00:37:51.099 --> 00:37:51.879
 with irony.

00:37:51.880 --> 00:37:53.000
 It's filled

00:37:53.000 --> 00:37:53.700
 with contrast.

00:37:54.099 --> 00:37:55.059
 It's filled

00:37:55.059 --> 00:37:55.700
 with the

00:37:55.700 --> 00:37:56.519
 fulfillment of

00:37:56.519 --> 00:37:56.900
 God's

00:37:56.900 --> 00:37:57.160
 word.

00:37:57.539 --> 00:37:58.099
 Don't miss

00:37:58.099 --> 00:37:58.280
 it.

00:37:58.400 --> 00:37:59.200
 It's most

00:37:59.200 --> 00:37:59.960
 of Jesus'

00:38:00.200 --> 00:38:00.720
 words being

00:38:00.720 --> 00:38:01.500
 fulfilled here

00:38:01.500 --> 00:38:02.119
 because he's

00:38:02.119 --> 00:38:02.559
 God.

00:38:05.119 --> 00:38:06.000
 John is

00:38:06.000 --> 00:38:08.720
 showing us

00:38:08.720 --> 00:38:09.420
 how God

00:38:09.420 --> 00:38:09.980
 is bringing

00:38:09.980 --> 00:38:10.579
 his plan

00:38:10.579 --> 00:38:11.340
 of salvation

00:38:11.340 --> 00:38:13.440
 all together

00:38:13.440 --> 00:38:14.840
 at just

00:38:14.840 --> 00:38:15.380
 the right

00:38:15.380 --> 00:38:15.840
 time.

00:38:16.300 --> 00:38:16.599
 There's

00:38:16.599 --> 00:38:16.900
 nothing

00:38:16.900 --> 00:38:17.900
 random about

00:38:17.900 --> 00:38:18.440
 what is

00:38:18.440 --> 00:38:18.920
 happening

00:38:18.920 --> 00:38:20.260
 on that

00:38:20.260 --> 00:38:20.760
 long

00:38:20.760 --> 00:38:21.280
 night.

00:38:21.280 --> 00:38:22.780
 all is

00:38:22.780 --> 00:38:23.340
 according

00:38:23.340 --> 00:38:24.300
 to plan.

00:38:24.840 --> 00:38:25.240
 Ain't

00:38:25.240 --> 00:38:25.900
 no

00:38:25.900 --> 00:38:26.580
 stopping

00:38:26.580 --> 00:38:27.160
 God.

00:38:30.240 --> 00:38:31.260
 When we

00:38:31.260 --> 00:38:31.840
 see Judas

00:38:31.840 --> 00:38:32.500
 and Peter

00:38:32.500 --> 00:38:33.900
 and Annas

00:38:33.900 --> 00:38:34.780
 and Pilate,

00:38:35.580 --> 00:38:36.420
 we know

00:38:36.420 --> 00:38:37.400
 these are

00:38:37.400 --> 00:38:38.240
 sinful men.

00:38:39.920 --> 00:38:41.100
 The human

00:38:41.100 --> 00:38:42.000
 race is

00:38:42.000 --> 00:38:43.019
 full of

00:38:43.019 --> 00:38:44.500
 sinful men

00:38:44.500 --> 00:38:45.100
 and women.

00:38:46.900 --> 00:38:47.960
 Maybe you

00:38:47.960 --> 00:38:48.400
 can relate

00:38:48.400 --> 00:38:49.019
 with Pilate.

00:38:49.160 --> 00:38:49.900
 Maybe you're

00:38:49.900 --> 00:38:50.160
 like,

00:38:50.519 --> 00:38:50.820
 can I

00:38:50.820 --> 00:38:51.079
 trust,

00:38:51.240 --> 00:38:51.559
 is this

00:38:51.559 --> 00:38:51.880
 true?

00:38:55.960 --> 00:38:56.800
 Is this

00:38:56.800 --> 00:38:57.300
 Christianity

00:38:57.300 --> 00:38:57.880
 thing true?

00:38:59.740 --> 00:39:00.420
 Is this

00:39:00.420 --> 00:39:01.059
 Jesus guy

00:39:01.059 --> 00:39:01.519
 true?

00:39:03.800 --> 00:39:04.519
 Or maybe

00:39:04.519 --> 00:39:04.780
 you can

00:39:04.780 --> 00:39:06.300
 relate more

00:39:06.300 --> 00:39:06.880
 with Peter.

00:39:07.200 --> 00:39:08.340
 Maybe you're

00:39:08.340 --> 00:39:09.000
 not inclined

00:39:09.000 --> 00:39:09.900
 to chop

00:39:09.900 --> 00:39:10.500
 off people's

00:39:10.500 --> 00:39:10.740
 ears.

00:39:12.800 --> 00:39:13.480
 Maybe you're

00:39:13.480 --> 00:39:13.980
 more inclined

00:39:13.980 --> 00:39:14.460
 just to cut

00:39:14.460 --> 00:39:14.920
 off people

00:39:14.920 --> 00:39:15.639
 and conversations.

00:39:15.639 --> 00:39:15.759
 Christians.

00:39:18.639 --> 00:39:19.440
 Or maybe

00:39:19.440 --> 00:39:19.819
 you're more

00:39:19.819 --> 00:39:20.400
 like Peter

00:39:20.400 --> 00:39:26.920
 who

00:39:26.920 --> 00:39:28.299
 doesn't have

00:39:28.299 --> 00:39:29.159
 enough courage

00:39:29.159 --> 00:39:32.259
 to confess

00:39:32.259 --> 00:39:33.539
 Jesus in front

00:39:33.539 --> 00:39:34.059
 of a servant

00:39:34.059 --> 00:39:34.379
 girl.

00:39:36.539 --> 00:39:37.179
 Maybe you

00:39:37.179 --> 00:39:37.519
 can relate

00:39:37.519 --> 00:39:37.920
 with that.

00:39:39.440 --> 00:39:40.079
 You just

00:39:40.079 --> 00:39:40.619
 want to blend

00:39:40.619 --> 00:39:41.519
 in by the fire

00:39:41.519 --> 00:39:42.019
 with everybody

00:39:42.019 --> 00:39:42.480
 else.

00:39:42.480 --> 00:39:48.420
 this passage

00:39:48.420 --> 00:39:49.559
 exposes some

00:39:49.559 --> 00:39:49.960
 things in

00:39:49.960 --> 00:39:50.300
 us.

00:39:55.780 --> 00:39:56.619
 We're all

00:39:56.619 --> 00:39:56.960
 sinful.

00:39:59.780 --> 00:40:00.740
 Only Jesus

00:40:00.740 --> 00:40:01.699
 is both

00:40:01.699 --> 00:40:02.639
 the man of

00:40:02.639 --> 00:40:03.219
 Nazareth

00:40:03.219 --> 00:40:04.420
 and the

00:40:04.420 --> 00:40:04.840
 great I

00:40:04.840 --> 00:40:05.619
 am incarnate.

00:40:07.139 --> 00:40:08.059
 Only Jesus

00:40:08.059 --> 00:40:08.480
 is that.

00:40:09.000 --> 00:40:09.960
 He is the

00:40:09.960 --> 00:40:10.500
 guiltless

00:40:10.500 --> 00:40:10.840
 one.

00:40:10.840 --> 00:40:13.079
 He is the

00:40:13.079 --> 00:40:13.460
 one that

00:40:13.460 --> 00:40:14.079
 is innocent.

00:40:16.120 --> 00:40:16.980
 In fact,

00:40:17.920 --> 00:40:19.760
 if you're

00:40:19.760 --> 00:40:20.059
 not a

00:40:20.059 --> 00:40:20.480
 Christian in

00:40:20.480 --> 00:40:20.860
 the room,

00:40:21.380 --> 00:40:21.720
 could it

00:40:21.720 --> 00:40:23.340
 be that

00:40:23.340 --> 00:40:24.120
 you are

00:40:24.120 --> 00:40:24.860
 in the

00:40:24.860 --> 00:40:26.000
 middle of

00:40:26.000 --> 00:40:26.500
 God's

00:40:26.500 --> 00:40:27.400
 great plan

00:40:27.400 --> 00:40:27.800
 for the

00:40:27.800 --> 00:40:28.320
 fullness of

00:40:28.320 --> 00:40:28.600
 time?

00:40:30.180 --> 00:40:30.900
 And that

00:40:30.900 --> 00:40:31.800
 He actually

00:40:31.800 --> 00:40:33.140
 wants you

00:40:33.140 --> 00:40:34.660
 to be in

00:40:34.660 --> 00:40:35.220
 a relationship

00:40:35.220 --> 00:40:35.880
 with Him?

00:40:37.400 --> 00:40:38.120
 Because of

00:40:38.120 --> 00:40:38.700
 your sin,

00:40:39.440 --> 00:40:39.860
 He sent

00:40:39.860 --> 00:40:40.460
 Jesus to

00:40:40.460 --> 00:40:40.820
 die for

00:40:40.820 --> 00:40:41.059
 you.

00:40:42.120 --> 00:40:42.840
 To bear

00:40:42.840 --> 00:40:44.340
 His wrath

00:40:44.340 --> 00:40:45.120
 for your

00:40:45.120 --> 00:40:45.579
 sin,

00:40:46.059 --> 00:40:46.700
 Jesus died

00:40:46.700 --> 00:40:46.980
 in your

00:40:46.980 --> 00:40:47.420
 place.

00:40:49.180 --> 00:40:49.740
 That's

00:40:49.740 --> 00:40:50.280
 extraordinary.

00:40:51.340 --> 00:40:52.079
 If you

00:40:52.079 --> 00:40:53.019
 realize how

00:40:53.019 --> 00:40:53.660
 sinful you

00:40:53.660 --> 00:40:55.120
 are and

00:40:55.120 --> 00:40:55.559
 what God

00:40:55.559 --> 00:40:55.880
 has done

00:40:55.880 --> 00:40:56.200
 for you

00:40:56.200 --> 00:40:56.700
 in Christ,

00:40:56.860 --> 00:40:57.320
 that's a

00:40:57.320 --> 00:40:57.840
 life-changing

00:40:57.840 --> 00:40:58.260
 moment.

00:41:00.019 --> 00:41:00.820
 What does

00:41:00.820 --> 00:41:01.440
 this long

00:41:01.440 --> 00:41:02.000
 night,

00:41:03.039 --> 00:41:03.800
 almost 2,000

00:41:03.800 --> 00:41:04.460
 years ago,

00:41:04.620 --> 00:41:05.240
 what difference

00:41:05.240 --> 00:41:05.680
 does it make

00:41:05.680 --> 00:41:05.920
 in our

00:41:05.920 --> 00:41:06.300
 lives?

00:41:06.300 --> 00:41:09.120
 this long

00:41:09.120 --> 00:41:09.580
 night

00:41:09.580 --> 00:41:10.680
 resulted in

00:41:10.680 --> 00:41:11.300
 salvation.

00:41:17.180 --> 00:41:18.060
 The piece

00:41:18.060 --> 00:41:18.560
 though that I

00:41:18.560 --> 00:41:19.140
 really want you

00:41:19.140 --> 00:41:19.640
 to walk out

00:41:19.640 --> 00:41:20.160
 of here with

00:41:20.160 --> 00:41:20.660
 is this.

00:41:22.840 --> 00:41:23.580
 It is

00:41:23.580 --> 00:41:24.380
 life-changing

00:41:24.380 --> 00:41:25.080
 to see

00:41:25.080 --> 00:41:25.600
 Jesus

00:41:25.600 --> 00:41:27.000
 in chapter

00:41:27.000 --> 00:41:27.460
 18.

00:41:30.220 --> 00:41:31.000
 He knows

00:41:31.000 --> 00:41:31.440
 everything,

00:41:32.260 --> 00:41:33.200
 but He

00:41:33.199 --> 00:41:33.559
 doesn't run

00:41:33.559 --> 00:41:33.879
 away.

00:41:35.559 --> 00:41:36.179
 He's

00:41:36.179 --> 00:41:36.619
 courageous.

00:41:38.379 --> 00:41:39.299
 He allows

00:41:39.299 --> 00:41:39.899
 Himself to be

00:41:39.899 --> 00:41:40.259
 arrested.

00:41:41.159 --> 00:41:41.759
 He allows

00:41:41.759 --> 00:41:42.579
 Himself to be

00:41:42.579 --> 00:41:44.239
 slapped and

00:41:44.239 --> 00:41:45.980
 mocked and

00:41:45.980 --> 00:41:46.839
 disrespected,

00:41:48.319 --> 00:41:49.000
 cut off.

00:41:49.000 --> 00:41:52.880
 Why doesn't

00:41:52.880 --> 00:41:53.780
 Jesus just

00:41:53.780 --> 00:41:54.500
 thump

00:41:54.500 --> 00:41:54.980
 everybody?

00:41:59.900 --> 00:42:00.719
 He didn't

00:42:00.719 --> 00:42:01.380
 cave like

00:42:01.380 --> 00:42:01.760
 Peter.

00:42:02.760 --> 00:42:03.900
 He didn't

00:42:03.900 --> 00:42:05.579
 cave before

00:42:05.579 --> 00:42:07.239
 Annas or

00:42:07.239 --> 00:42:08.300
 Caiaphas or

00:42:08.300 --> 00:42:08.860
 Pilate.

00:42:10.079 --> 00:42:11.780
 He's sinless.

00:42:12.340 --> 00:42:13.400
 He has no

00:42:13.400 --> 00:42:13.920
 guilt.

00:42:15.480 --> 00:42:16.219
 His kingdom

00:42:16.219 --> 00:42:18.639
 would outlast

00:42:18.639 --> 00:42:19.480
 Rome.

00:42:20.900 --> 00:42:21.679
 His kingdom

00:42:21.679 --> 00:42:22.279
 is going to

00:42:22.279 --> 00:42:23.279
 outlast the

00:42:23.279 --> 00:42:24.059
 United States.

00:42:24.359 --> 00:42:24.799
 His kingdom

00:42:24.799 --> 00:42:25.599
 is going to

00:42:25.599 --> 00:42:26.420
 outlast the

00:42:26.420 --> 00:42:27.400
 United Nations.

00:42:31.839 --> 00:42:32.639
 Do you

00:42:32.639 --> 00:42:33.019
 know what

00:42:33.019 --> 00:42:34.819
 I find

00:42:34.819 --> 00:42:35.920
 most compelling

00:42:35.920 --> 00:42:37.179
 about this

00:42:37.179 --> 00:42:37.659
 passage?

00:42:38.599 --> 00:42:39.799
 Every scene,

00:42:40.539 --> 00:42:41.099
 Jesus is

00:42:41.099 --> 00:42:41.579
 cool,

00:42:42.699 --> 00:42:43.199
 collected,

00:42:44.339 --> 00:42:44.779
 determined.

00:42:45.940 --> 00:42:46.639
 And one is

00:42:46.639 --> 00:42:47.559
 left stepping

00:42:47.559 --> 00:42:48.219
 away and

00:42:48.219 --> 00:42:48.579
 saying,

00:42:48.739 --> 00:42:49.259
 hold on a

00:42:49.259 --> 00:42:49.719
 second here.

00:42:50.919 --> 00:42:51.599
 Who's in

00:42:51.599 --> 00:42:52.079
 control?

00:42:55.199 --> 00:42:55.899
 Who's in

00:42:55.899 --> 00:42:56.480
 control?

00:42:57.959 --> 00:42:59.000
 Every scene,

00:42:59.480 --> 00:42:59.959
 Jesus is

00:42:59.959 --> 00:43:00.579
 controlling the

00:43:00.579 --> 00:43:00.819
 scene.

00:43:02.480 --> 00:43:03.319
 Every scene.

00:43:06.480 --> 00:43:07.139
 There's no

00:43:07.139 --> 00:43:07.719
 stopping Him.

00:43:08.899 --> 00:43:09.859
 And when you

00:43:09.859 --> 00:43:10.739
 start to see

00:43:10.739 --> 00:43:11.459
 that Jesus is

00:43:11.459 --> 00:43:12.239
 not a sissy,

00:43:12.599 --> 00:43:13.139
 He's not a

00:43:13.139 --> 00:43:13.819
 pushover,

00:43:13.820 --> 00:43:15.059
 war, but He

00:43:15.059 --> 00:43:15.700
 is allowing

00:43:15.700 --> 00:43:16.400
 all this

00:43:16.400 --> 00:43:17.000
 stuff to

00:43:17.000 --> 00:43:18.420
 happen in

00:43:18.420 --> 00:43:19.059
 order to

00:43:19.059 --> 00:43:19.680
 save you

00:43:19.680 --> 00:43:20.320
 and me

00:43:20.320 --> 00:43:21.260
 from the

00:43:21.260 --> 00:43:21.740
 wrath of

00:43:21.740 --> 00:43:22.059
 God?

00:43:22.940 --> 00:43:23.900
 That this

00:43:23.900 --> 00:43:24.559
 was God's

00:43:24.559 --> 00:43:25.660
 plan so

00:43:25.660 --> 00:43:25.980
 that He

00:43:25.980 --> 00:43:26.420
 would end

00:43:26.420 --> 00:43:26.840
 up on a

00:43:26.840 --> 00:43:27.660
 Roman cross?

00:43:28.200 --> 00:43:28.960
 When you

00:43:28.960 --> 00:43:30.080
 start realizing

00:43:30.080 --> 00:43:31.120
 that, it

00:43:31.120 --> 00:43:31.860
 is life

00:43:31.860 --> 00:43:32.360
 changing.

00:43:35.500 --> 00:43:36.240
 This is

00:43:36.240 --> 00:43:36.780
 our King.

00:43:38.780 --> 00:43:39.780
 His ways

00:43:39.780 --> 00:43:40.300
 are not the

00:43:40.300 --> 00:43:40.620
 ways of

00:43:40.620 --> 00:43:41.039
 the world.

00:43:43.300 --> 00:43:44.280
 He allowed

00:43:44.280 --> 00:43:45.560
 Himself to

00:43:45.560 --> 00:43:45.980
 be brought

00:43:45.980 --> 00:43:46.740
 through this

00:43:46.740 --> 00:43:48.000
 in order to

00:43:48.000 --> 00:43:49.580
 accomplish our

00:43:49.580 --> 00:43:50.100
 salvation.

00:43:52.100 --> 00:43:52.960
 His long

00:43:52.960 --> 00:43:54.460
 night, His

00:43:54.460 --> 00:43:55.220
 last night,

00:43:55.880 --> 00:43:57.620
 resulted in

00:43:57.620 --> 00:43:58.620
 our salvation.

00:44:00.060 --> 00:44:00.600
 And if you

00:44:00.600 --> 00:44:01.160
 believe this

00:44:01.160 --> 00:44:01.820
 long night

00:44:01.820 --> 00:44:03.039
 happened, if

00:44:03.039 --> 00:44:03.519
 you believe

00:44:03.519 --> 00:44:04.039
 that Jesus

00:44:04.039 --> 00:44:06.420
 willingly went

00:44:06.420 --> 00:44:07.340
 to the cross

00:44:07.340 --> 00:44:07.840
 to die

00:44:07.840 --> 00:44:08.620
 for you,

00:44:09.620 --> 00:44:10.420
 if you

00:44:10.420 --> 00:44:11.400
 believe that,

00:44:12.160 --> 00:44:13.519
 you've been

00:44:13.519 --> 00:44:13.980
 saved.

00:44:15.880 --> 00:44:16.400
 It's

00:44:16.400 --> 00:44:16.740
 life

00:44:16.740 --> 00:44:17.200
 changing.

00:44:21.400 --> 00:44:22.000
 This

00:44:22.000 --> 00:44:22.860
 long night,

00:44:24.019 --> 00:44:25.820
 you know

00:44:25.820 --> 00:44:25.960
 what it

00:44:25.960 --> 00:44:26.500
 should result

00:44:26.500 --> 00:44:26.740
 in?

00:44:28.840 --> 00:44:29.700
 A deep

00:44:29.700 --> 00:44:30.180
 love in

00:44:30.180 --> 00:44:30.620
 your heart

00:44:30.620 --> 00:44:31.280
 for Jesus

00:44:31.280 --> 00:44:33.320
 that He

00:44:33.320 --> 00:44:33.620
 would do

00:44:33.620 --> 00:44:34.019
 this for

00:44:34.019 --> 00:44:36.140
 you and

00:44:36.140 --> 00:44:36.480
 do this

00:44:36.480 --> 00:44:36.860
 for me.

00:44:37.340 --> 00:44:37.920
 So the

00:44:37.920 --> 00:44:38.280
 next time

00:44:38.280 --> 00:44:38.539
 you have

00:44:38.539 --> 00:44:38.800
 a long

00:44:38.800 --> 00:44:39.079
 night,

00:44:40.240 --> 00:44:42.280
 maybe you're

00:44:42.280 --> 00:44:43.200
 toiling at

00:44:43.200 --> 00:44:45.079
 2 a.m.,

00:44:45.079 --> 00:44:46.880
 remember this

00:44:46.880 --> 00:44:47.460
 long night

00:44:47.460 --> 00:44:50.440
 that Jesus

00:44:50.440 --> 00:44:51.000
 willingly

00:44:51.000 --> 00:44:51.640
 endured

00:44:51.640 --> 00:44:55.920
 to make

00:44:55.920 --> 00:44:56.220
 you His

00:44:56.220 --> 00:44:56.519
 own.

00:44:58.340 --> 00:44:58.980
 It was

00:44:58.980 --> 00:44:59.579
 all according

00:44:59.579 --> 00:45:00.059
 to plan.

00:45:01.360 --> 00:45:01.860
 Let's pray.

00:45:03.420 --> 00:45:03.960
 Lord

00:45:03.960 --> 00:45:04.280
 Jesus,

00:45:04.920 --> 00:45:06.700
 thank You

00:45:06.699 --> 00:45:06.759
 thank You.

00:45:08.639 --> 00:45:09.319
 Thank You

00:45:09.319 --> 00:45:09.699
 for what

00:45:09.699 --> 00:45:09.939
 You've

00:45:09.939 --> 00:45:10.219
 endured

00:45:10.219 --> 00:45:10.919
 for us.

00:45:12.759 --> 00:45:13.480
 Thank You

00:45:13.480 --> 00:45:13.799
