Luke 23:
Jewish leaders led Jesus to
be tried by Pilate, the Roman Governor, and accused him of going against Rome
and Judea, but Pilate found him innocent. Jesus was considered a Galilean
(Israeli) by Roman and Jewish law, not a Jew, so he was send to Herod, who also
found no charge against him. Jesus was sent back to Pilate and Pilate
wanted to release Jesus, but the leaders of the Jews wanted the Israeli Jesus
crucifies and Barabbas release, despite being a murderer. The Jews demanded
the death of Jesus, despite the objection of the Roman Governor, Pilate. Jesus
was crucified and buried.
Luke 24:
Jesus rose
from death three days later (first day of the week). Women went to Jesus'
tomb and an angel asked them why they were looking for the living among the
dead. They went to tell the apostles and Peter went to witness the empty grave.
Jesus soon appeared to two men who were walking and they told Jesus about his
resurrection and how they had hoped he was the redeemer of Israel (unify Israel
from Roman domination). Jesus accused them of ignorance and faithlessness in the
scripture, prophets, & Jesus. He went in with them for dinner and they
recognized him by his prayers. They ran to Jerusalem to inform the apostles.
Jesus then appeared before the apostles and he ate fish. Jesus said that the
law, the prophets, and Psalms must be fulfilled so that repentance and
forgiveness of sins may be preached in Jesus' name to all nations. The apostles
were to stay in Jerusalem until they were clothed with power from above (Holy
Spirit). In Bethany, Jesus blessed them and ascended into heaven.

John 1:
Jesus is the Word of God,
he is God, and was with God from the very beginning of all creation. All was
created through him and he is the light of humans. John the Baptist came to bear
witness to the light that all may believe. Jesus was rejected by the world,
which was created through him, but those who believe in him will be Children of
God. Jesus became human to live among humans and John testified about Jesus as one
who surpassed him because he was before me. No one has seen God, but through
Jesus. John told the priest and Levites from Jerusalem that he was not the
Christ, Elijah, or a prophet, but the voice calling in the desert to prepare the
way for Christ. John baptized at Bethany (same place Jesus ascended; East of
Jerusalem). John saw Jesus and called him the Lamb of God who takes away the
sins of the world and testified that God told him that the one the Spirit of God
rests on is the Son of God and the one to baptize with the Holy Spirit. Andrew,
brother of Peter, was a former disciple of John who John sent to follow Jesus
and he introduced Peter to Jesus. Philip, like the brothers, was from Bethsaida
(NE of Nazareth, Israel) and he introduced Nathaniel to Jesus. Jesus said
Nathaniel was a true Israelite without falsehood. Jesus said that Nathaniel will see
the glory of Jesus and heaven.
John 2:
Jesus was
at a wedding in Cana with his mother and disciples. His mother informed him that
the wine was finished, so Jesus turned the water in large jars into wine. The
master of the banquet even testified that Jesus' wine was better than their best
wine for the occasion and his disciples had more faith in him. Jesus goes to the
temple in Jerusalem during Passover and saw people selling animals and goods in the temple,
so he whipped them and turned their money tables over. The Jews then challenged
Jesus to show what authority he had to do this. Jesus told them that if the
temple was destroyed, he will raise it in 3 days, but he meant his body. Jesus
did many miracles in Jerusalem during the Passover feast |
