The last day up to the crucifixion

  • The struggle in prayer

    The article analyzes Jesus' prayer in Gethsemane, illustrating his human suffering and his submission to the divine will. It highlights the historical and scriptural context of the event, offering a theological reflection on Jesus' redemptive mission and the exhortation to watch and pray in times of trial.

    Mark 14.33-41 (King James Version) :
    And he taketh with him Peter and James and John, and began to be sore amazed, and to be very heavy;And saith unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful unto death: tarry ye here, and watch.And he went forward a little, and fell on the ground, and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from him.And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee; take away this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but what thou wilt.And he cometh, and findeth them sleeping, and saith unto Peter, Simon, sleepest thou? couldest not thou watch one hour?Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is weak.And again he went away, and prayed, and spake the same words.And when he returned, he found them asleep again, (for their eyes were heavy,) neither wist they what to answer him.And he cometh the third time, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: it is enough, the hour is come; behold, the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.

  • The Apostles' Surprising Reaction

    Après leur flagellation par le Sanhédrin, les apôtres réagissent de manière surprenante en se réjouissant d'avoir été jugés dignes de souffrir pour le nom de Jésus. Loin d'être découragés, ils poursuivent chaque jour leur ministère dans le Temple et dans les maisons, enseignant et annonçant la bonne nouvelle. Luc montre que les persécutions, loin d'arrêter l'Évangile, contribuent paradoxalement à sa progression.

    Luke 6.22-23 (King James Version) :
    Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man’s sake.Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets.

  • Is God Unjust?

    The article discusses the idea that God might be unjust in allowing suffering and injustice in the world, but concludes that this condition results from human sin. It invites repentance and faith in Jesus for salvation.

    Luke 13.1-5 (King James Version) :
    There were present at that season some that told him of the Galilæans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galilæans were sinners above all the Galilæans, because they suffered such things?I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem?I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
