The Good News of Jesus Christ according to John Mark....

Mark is about the Passion week of Jesus, with a long introduction 5 chapters about the Passion week

Last week we started in Chapter 14 and the hidden plot to kill Jesus, their plans were to kill Him in stealth/secret because they feared riots.

We discussed the motives of Judas....leading to his betrayal of Jesus...

Yudahs ISHKariOTE was pushed over the edge with the anointing of Jesus’s body for burial but in his eyes, the extravagant waste of the woman.. and of the Messiah...

WHAT GOOD IS A DEAD MESSIAH??

What an extravagant waste...

The Passover What is the Passover??

The event of Passover is found in the book of Exodus.

God helped the Israelites escape from slavery in Egypt by inflicting 10 plagues upon the Egyptians before the Pharaoh would release the Israelite slaves. The last of the plagues was the death of the Egyptian first-born. The Israelites were instructed to mark the doorposts of their homes with the blood of a slaughtered spring lamb and, upon seeing this, the spirit of the Lord knew to pass over the first-born in these homes, hence the English name of the holiday.

The Festival of the Passover is the 15th of Nisan.

OT Passover Paschal

The Passover with the Disciples

Mark 14:12–21 NASB95

12 On the first day of Unleavened Bread, when the Passover lamb was being sacrificed, His disciples said to Him, “Where do You want us to go and prepare for You to eat the Passover?” 13 And He sent two of His disciples and said to them, “Go into the city, and a man will meet you carrying a pitcher of water; follow him; 14 and wherever he enters, say to the owner of the house, ‘The Teacher says, “Where is My guest room in which I may eat the Passover with My disciples?” ’ 15 “And he himself will show you a large upper room furnished and ready; prepare for us there.” 16 The disciples went out and came to the city, and found it just as He had told them; and they prepared the Passover. 17 When it was evening He came with the twelve. 18 As they were reclining at the table and eating, Jesus said, “Truly I say to you that one of you will betray Me—one who is eating with Me.” 19 They began to be grieved and to say to Him one by one, “Surely not I?” 20 And He said to them, “It is one of the twelve, one who dips with Me in the bowl. 21 “For the Son of Man is to go just as it is written of Him; but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been good for that man if he had not been born.”

We start off with the disciples asking “Where do you want us to prepare the Passover Meal.

The process of preparing the meal would have involved sacrificing the passover lamb.

He sends the disciples out to find a MAN carrying a pitcher of water

Jesus was aware of events, He knew where the meal would be held and how the disciples could meet this MAN who would arrange it.

Cornerstone Biblical Commentary, Volume 11: Matthew and Mark Notes

14:14 The Teacher asks. The second key instruction was about the owner of the room. All that would be needed was to indicate that “the Teacher” had a need and the room would be provided. It was there that they would eat the Passover meal.

Cornerstone Biblical Commentary, Volume 11: Matthew and Mark Notes

14:15 to a large room. Since this “large upper room” was already prepared for the meal, it appears that Jesus had already planned for the meal to be in this place.

14:16 So the two disciples went … and found everything just as Jesus had said. Jesus was very aware of what was taking place. The disciples prepared the meal in this room.

Discuss the size of the room

Cornerstone Biblical Commentary, Volume 11: Matthew and Mark Notes

If this was a Passover meal, it would have four courses/cups and last until almost midnight

Cornerstone Biblical Commentary, Volume 11: Matthew and Mark Notes

The four cups occur (1) with the preliminary course to bless the Passover day, (2) after an explaination of Passover and the singing of some of the Hallel psalms [Pss 113–118], (3) following the meal of lamb, unleavened bread, and bitter herbs, and (4) following the concluding portion of the Hallel

Each disciple was greatly distressed, and asked in turn, “Am I the one?”

in Greek, it was asked expecting a negative reply, they were seeking assurance that he was not the one. “It’s not me is it?”

One of you 12 who is eating from this bowl with me.

Cornerstone Biblical Commentary, Volume 11: Matthew and Mark Notes

he took a cup of wine.

Cornerstone Biblical Commentary, Volume 11: Matthew and Mark Notes

the purpose of the third cup was to praise God for bringing salvation to his people,

Cornerstone Biblical Commentary, Volume 11: Matthew and Mark Notes

The NLT has a good explanatory rendering of the Gr., which reads, “This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for the many.” “The many” are those who believe in Jesus.

Cornerstone Biblical Commentary, Volume 11: Matthew and Mark Commentary

At the end of the meal Jesus said, “I will not drink wine again until the day I drink it new in the Kingdom of God” (14:25). Here Jesus looked to the consummation that his death would provide. There would be a banquet celebration to recreate this meal in the Kingdom (Isa 25:6; Matt 8:11; Luke 14:15; Rev 19:9) and he looked forward to that day. The church’s celebration at the Lord’s Table also looks forward to that day, as we proclaim “the Lord’s death until he comes again” (1 Cor 11:26). There will be a period of great celebration when Jesus’ work is complete.

Institution of the Lord’s Supper, the Last Supper, The New Passover

Mark 14:22–25 NASB95

22 While they were eating, He took some bread, and after a blessing He broke it, and gave it to them, and said, “Take it; this is My body.” 23 And when He had taken a cup and given thanks, He gave it to them, and they all drank from it. 24 And He said to them, “This is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many. 25 “Truly I say to you, I will never again drink of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.”

Mark 14:22-25

Cornerstone Biblical Commentary, Volume 11: Matthew and Mark Commentary

Jesus foretells Peter’s denial

Mark 14:26–31 NASB95

26 After singing a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives. 27 And Jesus said to them, “You will all fall away, because it is written, ‘I will strike down the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered.’ 28 “But after I have been raised, I will go ahead of you to Galilee.” 29 But Peter said to Him, “Even though all may fall away, yet I will not.” 30 And Jesus said to him, “Truly I say to you, that this very night, before a rooster crows twice, you yourself will deny Me three times.” 31 But Peter kept saying insistently, “Even if I have to die with You, I will not deny You!” And they all were saying the same thing also.

Mark 14:26-

Zechariah 13:7 NASB95

7 “Awake, O sword, against My Shepherd, And against the man, My Associate,” Declares the Lord of hosts. “Strike the Shepherd that the sheep may be scattered; And I will turn My hand against the little ones.

Jesus at Gethsemane

Mark 14:32–42 NASB95

32 They came to a place named Gethsemane; and He said to His disciples, “Sit here until I have prayed.” 33 And He took with Him Peter and James and John, and began to be very distressed and troubled. 34 And He said to them, “My soul is deeply grieved to the point of death; remain here and keep watch.” 35 And He went a little beyond them, and fell to the ground and began to pray that if it were possible, the hour might pass Him by. 36 And He was saying, “Abba! Father! All things are possible for You; remove this cup from Me; yet not what I will, but what You will.” 37 And He came and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, “Simon, are you asleep? Could you not keep watch for one hour? 38 “Keep watching and praying that you may not come into temptation; the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.” 39 Again He went away and prayed, saying the same words. 40 And again He came and found them sleeping, for their eyes were very heavy; and they did not know what to answer Him. 41 And He came the third time, and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? It is enough; the hour has come; behold, the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners. 42 “Get up, let us be going; behold, the one who betrays Me is at hand!”
