Lesson 5289

 (Lesson 5289)(07-30-26) Mark 14:27-31 

  And Jesus saith unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered. But after that I am risen, I will go before you into Galilee. But Peter said unto him, Although all shall be offended, yet will not I. And Jesus saith unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this day, even in this night, before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice. But he spake the more vehemently, If I should die with thee, I will not deny thee in any wise. Likewise also said they all.“  

 

    In today’s quote, Jesus predicted that, on the night of His capture, all His apostles would abandon Him as predicted by prophesy, promising to meet with them again in Galilee after His resurrection. When Peter bragged that his loyalty would never fail, Jesus specifically warned that He would be abandoned by Peter and the others before the rooster crowed twice. ~

Lesson 5288

 (Lesson 5288)(07-29-26) Mark 14:22-26 

    “And as they did eat, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and brake it, and gave to them, and said, Take, eat: this is my body. And he took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them: and they all drank of it. And he said unto them, This is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many. Verily I say unto you, I will drink no more of the fruit of the vine, until that day that I drink it new in the kingdom of God. And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives.” 

 

    Today’s quote reveals that, during the Passover meal, Jesus shared bread and wine with His apostles, explaining that the bread and wine represented His body and His sacrificial blood shed to establish a new covenant that could save the world from hell through faith in the same. He noted that He would not drink wine again until He would drink it in God's coming kingdom, after which they sing a hymn then went to the Mount of Olives.  ~

Lesson 5287

 (Lesson 5287)(07-28-26) Mark 14:17-21 

   “And in the evening he cometh with the twelve. And as they sat and did eat, Jesus said, Verily I say unto you, One of you which eateth with me shall betray me. And they began to be sorrowful, and to say unto him one by one, Is it I? and another said, Is it I? And he answered and said unto them, It is one of the twelve, that dippeth with me in the dish. The Son of man indeed goeth, as it is written of him: but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! good were it for that man if he had never been born.” 

 

    Today’s quote relates that during the Passover meal with His twelve disciples, Jesus revealed that one of them would betray Him to His death. Distressed, some of the apostles asked if one of them would be the traitor. Jesus confirmed it was someone close sharing food at His table, warning that while His death fulfilled divine prophecy, the person who betrayed Him would face his own tragic judgment. ~ 

Lesson 5286

 (Lesson 5286)(07-27-26) Mark 14:12-16 

   “And the first day of unleavened bread, when they killed the passover, his disciples said unto him, Where wilt thou that we go and prepare that thou mayest eat the passover? And he sendeth forth two of his disciples, and saith unto them, Go ye into the city, and there shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water: follow him. And wheresoever he shall go in, say ye to the goodman of the house, The Master saith, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples? And he will shew you a large upper room furnished and prepared: there make ready for us. And his disciples went forth, and came into the city, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover.” 

 

    Today’s quote tells us that on the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, Jesus sent two disciples into Jerusalem with instructions to find the reserved place where they would eat the Passover meal. ~
