Introduction
thanks began to happen that night in the Garden, the arrest of Jesus and them bringing him to the house of the High priest for trial late at night which violates their own law.
Share maybe briefly about Peter’s denail
Share lastly...what we looked at last week with the trial of Jesus before Pilate.
Now we move on the the rest of Chapter 15.
Verse 16....
Pilate has condemned Jesus to death trying to keep the peace with the Jewish leaders.
They wanted Jesus out of the way, they have persisted and are going to get their wish.
Jesus is led away from Pilate and the people.
They take Jesus in the the inner palace, where the guard, or battalion quarters were located .
This has long been identified with the Antonia fortress on the northwest corner of the Temple mount.
This large fortress allow immediate access to the Temple mount in case of a disturbance and suppress it quickly.
And there they began to do terrible things to Jesus.
look at verses 18-20
What do you think about when you read this account of how they treated Jesus?
They mocked him without a doubt
They mocked him without a doubt
The placed imperial colors about him, not believing He is a king, they dressed him in a cloth of purple draped around about him.
They twisted a mock crown around his head, those thorns were pushed all the way down upon him until they struck the skull, it produces a lot of bleeding and makes the person look terrible.
The placed imperial colors about him, not believing He is a king, they dressed him in a cloth of purple draped around about him.
But that wasn’t all they did to our Lord.....
I cannot imagine all they did to him that morning before the crucifixion.
The beat him and spat upon him, they then took the purple cloth from him and dressed him again in His own clothes.
Finally they led him away to be crucified.
Now consider this person Simon of Cyrene… look at verse 21
Mark 15;
We get a lot of information about this man who is commanded to help Jesus this day, can you imagine, and this man would never forget Jesus.
Now according to Jewish and Roman custom, people had to be taken outside the city walls to be put to death.
Q.
But here is Simon, is he someone who knows Jesus, does he follow Jesus or is he a gentile proselyte to the Jewish faith and has come to worship since it is the time of the passover?
What do you think?
Regardless there is some thogutht that he might follow Jesus after the fact.
Now tells us this ...
Many think that this Rufus is one of the children of Simon mentioned in the gospel of Mark.
and perhaps His mother ministered to Paul as well.
Now are scholars 100 on this…no but they think it is very likely it is the same person.
Regardless if a person was deemed unable to or to weak to carry their cross, they (roman soldiers) would grab someoene to help, this time it is Simon.
mark 15:21-32
Now right off the bat some MSS omit verse 28, i am not sure why....
V 28 And so the Scripture was fulfilled that says: And He was counted among outlaws” and that is a pull from
Question.....
Now why did they offer wine and myrrh to Jesus?
It was like a sedative, it help them as they were about to be nailed to the cross.
So they took his garments, casting lots for them, to see who would win his cloths.
No need to let them go to waste i guess .
But, sadly they crucified Jesus between two thieves.
This also point back to
Now lets see what else was happening… verses 29-32
Mark 15:29-
Many more passed by, mocking him, saying all manner of bad things and yes, even one of criminals who was crucified with him sad things to him.
Many more passed by, mocking him, saying all manner of bad things and yes, even one of criminals who was crucified with him sad things to him.
I think that is all that needs to be said about that section....
Now verses 33-41
What do we see here:
Darkess, Jesus crying out....what does it all mean?
Let me share some passages with you from the Old Testament..
Psalm 22”1
Isaiah 59:21
We know and understand that sin separates us from God, and it did with Jesus as well.
God did not abandon the son, God was right there but in Sin he could not fully sense him.
For once Jesus was exactly like lost humanity, made like the in every way yet without sin, but here talking our sin.... upon himself.
Now verses 37-39 are the most wonderful to me....
What do we see?
Two acts.... 1. one because of Jesus, we were no longer in need of a priest, we have access to our God because the curtain of the temple has been torn town
2. The great confess… after seeing it all… the soldier,
Now in these next two verses we see who was there.
They are recorded for all time to see.
Mark 15:40-4
and finally
Verses 42-47
What stands out to you in this passage?
Jospeh and we also know Nicodemus.
they received permission that they be given the body of Jesus.
Pilate was surprised that he had already passed, and gave the order to give the body of Jesus to Jospeh.
Jospeh had to hurry, why>
Lastly the women saw where he was laid…
