Pilate turns over Jesus to be beaten by the Romans.  The legal non-Roman citizen limit was 39 lashes, but this was not a typical beating.  Jesus was beaten beyond recognition, causing him to die earlier than expected. The cross references to the Old Testament tell the bigger story and speak to the divine exchange as Jesus is illegally beaten to release healing.

Jesus stands before Pontius Pilate and states "he is not of this world, and everyone of the truth knows this." Pilate's response, "what is truth?" In this episode, we discuss truth and the events leading up to the conclusion to put Jesus to death.  All these trial confirm one thing - the innocence of Jesus.

Justice is defined as "getting what you deserve according to the law." The religious leaders, in an illegal trial, condemned Jesus to death. The religious leaders would get what they deserve as justice would befall them, Jesus would get what he deserved as he stepped into the place of the lamb, yet we would not get what we deserve--GRACE!

In this action oriented scene and Parallel Bible student's dream, Jesus is betrayed with a kiss by Judas.  Upon his betrayal, Peter puts up a fight and cuts off Malchus' ear. Jesus heals him, rebukes Peter, and surrenders as the disciples flee.  In this episode, we cover this scene including the three bizarre moments, including a power encounter, a healing with the words "permit this," and a naked man.

Jesus and his disciples retire to the garden at Gathsemane. In the garden, Jesus goes to a certain place with Peter, James, and John and he goes away at a distance and prays.  In intercession, he takes on in prayer, the next day: the greatest day in world history. In this episode, we discuss Jesus' intercession, sleepy disciples, an angelic visitation, and sweating great drops of blood.

Unprompted, at the end of the Last Supper, Jesus prays for himself, his disciples, and future believers.  In this prayer, we see the true way to heaven, a deeper understanding of holiness, and Jesus' prayer for you and me.

In John 15, Jesus says I am the vine and my father is the gardener. In this teaching, we speak of abiding in the vine and bearing fruit and the cutting that comes in love. From this place of abiding, love and joy and fruit come forth.

After Judas leaves, and the devil is out of the room, Jesus teaches the believers about the greater promises.  He covers everything from mansions to greater works to manifestations and the spirit of truth. In this episode, we discuss my second favorite chapter in the whole Bible, John 14 and the promises to the believer.

As the passover drew near, Jesus had a feast with his disciples. In this episode, we discuss the profound symbolism of this moment, its context, bridal revelation, and further revelation of the passover lamb. Even in closing, as they sang a hymn and departed, psalm 118 was on their lips, "I shall not die and live, and declare the works of the Lord."

Looking for ways to arrest and kill Jesus, the chief priests and associates offered thirty pieces of silver to Judas to betray him. Judas agrees, and he participates in the Last Supper, until Jesus dismisses him.  It says that satan, the devil, possesses him at that moment to betray him.  In this episode, we cover Judas' betrayal and a few examples of demon possession in history.
