Matthew
The Passion Translation (TPT) footnotes for :
Matthew 26
a.
Or “Gethsemane,” the Aramaic word for (olive) “oil press.”
This was located on the lower slope of the Mount of Olives near the brook Kidron.
King David left Jerusalem weeping as he crossed the Kidron Valley and went up the Mount of Olives ().
Now the Son of David comes into that valley with great sorrow on his way into Jerusalem to be crucified.
Kidron comes from the Hebrew verb qadar, which means “to grow dark” or “to mourn.”
b.
Or “Peter and the two songs of Zebedee.”
The cup becomes a metaphor of the great suffering that Jesus had to endure that night in the garden.
However, Jesus was not asking the Father for a way around the cross.
Rather, he was asking God to keep him alive through this night of suffering so that he could carry the cross and take away our sins.
According to the prophecies of the Old Testament, Jesus was to be pierced on a cross.
We learn from Heb. 5:7 that Jesus’ prayer was answered that night as the cup was indeed taken from him.
An angel of God came to strengthen him and deliver him from premature death (Matt.
26:39).
The “cup” he was asking God to let pass from him was the cup of premature death that Satan was trying to make him drink in the garden, not the death he would experience the next day on the cross.
He had already sweat drops of blood (Luke 22:44), but the prophecies had to be fulfilled of being pierced on a cross for our transgressions.
God answered his cry and he lived through the agony of Gethsemane so that he could be our sacrifice for sin on Calvary.
Jesus did not waver in the garden.
We have a brave Savior.
c.

TPT footnotes for :
a. Thirty-Three prophecies from this psalm were fulfilled when Jesus was on the cross.
b.
This could be an amazing picture of Christ giving birth at the cross to a generation of his seed.
They are like children of God born in the dawning of that resurrection morning.
c.
When Jesus quoted these words while dying on the cross, he was identifying himself as the One David wrote about in this psalm.
It is a breathtaking portrayal of what Jesus endured through his suffering for us.
The psalm ends with another quotation of Jesus on the cross: “It is finished!”
d.
David uses poetic nuance here, for the word answer (‘anah) is also a Hebrew homonym for “affliction.”
e.
The Hebrew word for “worm” is tola, which is also the word for “crimson” or “scarlet.”
Tola was a certain worm in the Middle East that, when crushed, bled a crimson color so strong it was used as a dye for garments.
Jesus was not saying He was a despised worm, but that He will bleed as he is crushed for our sins.
f.
Many translation have here “strong bulls of Bashan.”
The root word for “bull” means “to break or destroy.”
The word Bashan, although known as a fertile land northeast of the Sea of Galilee, Bashan is also a word for “serpent.”
These represent the many demonic spirits who come against the Son of God as he was being crucified.
g.
Psalm 22
g.

The Hebrew word for “dog” is taken from a root word meaning “to attack.”

The music is elevated to a higher key as victory is sounded forth.
“My people gather” is a reference to the church that was birthed through his resurrection glory.
