Also: The religious leaders were the best known, most powerful, and most respected of all leaders. If you look through out the gospels you will note that Jesus repeatedly rebuked these leaders and made fools of them in front of many. They were unable to ask Him a question that He did not have an answer for that was undebateable. Jesus, also, spoke of them in parables. In the parable of the 2 sons the Jewish leaders are the son who professed to serve but refused to obey. In the parable of the wicked tenants Jesus held them responsible for the nation's fruitlessness before God. In the parable of the King's wedding feast they are condemned because they refuse to honor the King's Son with a responce to His invitation. In Matthew 23:1-8 Jesus warn His followers to do whatever they teach you and follow it but do not do as they do. After exposing their worthless works and base motives He addressed them personally with the 8 woes. Jesus was unmistakenly in their way and they had to be rid of Him. | ||||||

According to the MacArthur study bible Christ first refers to previously sending them out without any provisions (Luke 9:3). He had sovereignly arranged for their needs to be met. The money bag, knapsack, and sword were figurative expressions for such means (the sword being emblematic of protection not aggression). The swords were short, daggerlike instruments - more like knives than swords. There was nothing unusual about carrying them in that culture. They had many practical uses besides violence. prayon | ||||||

867 | Pilate's response to King of the Jews? | Luke 23:3 | prayon | 6560 | ||
In Jesus day a death sentence had to be approved by a Roman official. Since the Priests wanted Jesus killed they knew they had to make up charges against Him that the Romans would go for since the charge of blasphemy (His arresting charge)would have no meaning to the Romans. Since Pilate was the govenor of Judea where Jerusalem was located they needed to get his permission. Pilate recognized the obvious plot against Jesus (Matt 27:18) and Pilate knew that Jesus was innocent (John 18:30,38, 19:4). His wife also knew the innocence of this man, (Matt27:19). Herod also confirmed his innocence, (Luke 23:15). I believe that in His spirit he knew that Jesus was who He said He was. I also think that His wife confirmed the fact when she stated because of her dream. I can find no place that says Pilate knew because of a certain thing. We know that Pilate did believe Him for two reasons: 1) Pilate called Him King in John 19:14, and 2) because Pilate wrote the sign on the cross saying that "This is Jesus the King of the Jews". It does say that he was greatly amazed at Jesus (Matt 27:14). His conscience also told him that Jesus was who He said He was (John 19:7-9). Being the govenor of Judea where Jesus had His ministry I am sure that Pilate had heard of all the miraculous things that Jesus had done. Pilate did not stand for what he believed because he was threatened by the Jews that they would cause him great trouble (Matt 27:24, Luke 23:23). ***It is interesting to note that all aspects of Jesus trial were illegal. Jewish Law stated the following: 1) No trials were to be heard at night. All criminal cases must be tried and completed during the daytime hours. 2) No such cases were to be held during the Passover season. 3) Only if the verdict were "not guilty" could the case be completed on the day it commenced. 4) In all trials, the evidence for the innocence of the accused must be presented to the court before the evidence of his guilt was cited. 5) If the verdict was guilty, a night must elapse before announcing the verdict to allow for feelings of mercy. 6) No decision of the Sanhedrin was valid unless it was made in its own council chamber with one another. 7) A false witness was punishable by death, (Matt 26:59-60). 8)It is illegal to cause someone to testify against himself.

868 | Explain Luke 23:31 | Luke 23:31 | prayon | 2248 | ||
I am led to understand that this is in relation to a proverb. Green wood does not normally burn, nor are innocent men executed. But if these things do happen now what will happen in the future? Another interpretation is if the innocent Jesus (green wood) suffered at the hands of the Romans what would happen to the guilty Jews (dry wood)? Hope this helps some. |

869 | Luke, Jesus, and the good theif | Luke 23:40 | prayon | 91379 | ||
Greetings Kimberly, Actually it does not say that the thief would be with Jesus in heaven, it says Jesus said to the thief "today you will be with me in paradise". These are 2 different places. John 20:17 tells us the Jesus said to Mary Magdalene "Do not cling to me, for I have not yet ascended to my Father", which means He had not gone to heaven so he could not of taken the good thief there. Paradise is part of Abraham's bosom. Luke tells us that the rich man who went to Hades saw Abraham and cried for Abraham to have mercy on him. This again proving that Paradise is not heaven. In Jewish theology Paradise is the department of Hades where the blessed souls await the resurrection. prayon |

871 | Jesus couldn't of gone up to heaven. | Luke 23:43 | prayon | 64041 | ||
Jesus tells the thief "Today you will be with me in paradise". Some say that this means that Jesus went to heaven before He went to hell to "get the keys". In light of Matt 12:39b-40 "no sign will be give to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah. For as Jonah was three days and nights in the belly of the great fish, so will the Son of Man be 3 days and nights in the heart of the earth". These verses show that Jesus spent the 3 days and nights before His resurrection in the heart of the earth. He couldn't of gone to heaven to be with the thief there - the thief had to of gone with Him to the heart of the earth which means that paradise is in Hades. Comments? | ||||||

873 | Jesus couldn't of gone up to heaven. | Luke 23:43 | prayon | 64179 | ||
Greetings Ed, I believe that those who have never heard the name Jesus will also go to Abrahams busom. We know that no one can enter the kingdom without first our Lord and Savior. Those who have not heard of Jesus can not be responsible for what they do not know. So I think that these people will be waiting in Abraham's bosum for Jesus to let them know who He is. prayon | ||||||
874 | Jesus couldn't of gone up to heaven. | Luke 23:43 | prayon | 64247 | ||
If I understand you correctly you are saying that there is no one who does not know Jesus? The verse says that God holds all men responsible for what he has shown of himself in creation. These men have had an opportunity to see the clear witness about the character and existance of God through divine revelation. There are a lot of people who know this but have not accepted Jesus, they don't even know there is a Jesus. Those who have accepted the revelation but have not heard the gospel are the ones who will be in Abrahams busom. They will hear of Jesus in Abraham's busom and will then have an opportunity to accept Him at that time. John 14:6 "No one come to the Father except through me". Those who have never heard the gospel have to hear of Jesus or they can't get to the Father. prayon |

Greetings Ed, I have to disagree with you that there is no one in Abraham's busom (or paradise)now for the reasons explained in my above answer to Joe. Many have died not ever hearing of Jesus. Those who lived righteous can not go to heaven because no one can enter in without Jesus. They lived righteous lives so they aren't in Hades. The only place left is is "paradise". prayon |

878 | Jesus couldn't of gone up to heaven. | Luke 23:43 | prayon | 64300 | ||
Greetings Ed, "got the keys" is just a saying that I have heard many times. What it really means to me is that Jesus conquered death 1Cor 15:56-57. I think it comes from Matt 16:18 where it says "The gates of hell shall not prevail". prayon | ||||||

Greetings Hank, I am referring to the two sides mentioned that are part of Abraham's bosom. Paradise is the place that the righteous dead go. Luke 16:22-23 talk about it being a place where Abraham is. Paradise means garden. Hades is a place of torments (same passage). Does this help? prayon |
