00:26 – A brief overview of these chapters. This episode covers the events of Thursday, with the addition of John 17 about the intercessory prayer. John’s account of the last supper is discussed in Ep 205.
02:54 – Jesus will be betrayed by Judas for 30 pieces of silver.
09:40 – At the Last Supper, Jesus identifies his betrayer and institutes the Sacrament.
16:40 – Jesus speaks of drinking from “the fruit of the vine” again with the disciples when the Kingdom of God comes. This represents a commemoration of the Passover in antiquity as well as a symbol of the new covenant and the victory Jesus will have over the forces of darkness.
21:32 – “All ye shall be offended because of me this night.” Peter’s excessive self-assurance ultimately results in his denials of the Savior.
38:13 – Six temple themes can be found in Jesus’ intercessory prayer. This prayer elevates the significance of the two great commandments, inviting mankind to be one with God and with each other.
57:49 – Defending Jesus, Peter cuts off Malchus’ ear. Jesus demonstrates his power as he submits to the arresting officers in the Garden of Gethsemane.
1:05:48 – The Savior’s friends and disciples leave him.

To Whom It Concern:
I really love you podcast because you think of deeper meanings of the scriptures. I discovered the true meaning of the scriptures and parables. Thank you. R/David Gutierrez
Could I offer an additional possibility why Judas betrayed Christ. I agree that it was not for the money. Mike suggested he was angry. Christ was proactive in making sure that he would be betrayed and that the leading Jews would seek his death. Recall that in Luke Judas is identified as the one who commented about the waste of spinners. I believe Christ’s stinging rebuke in front of a large number of people set off his anger. Christ makes a comment inviting Judas to repent of the evil festering in him when Christ explains it would have been better if the one who betrays him had not been born. But judas natural man pride was not softened. That is another possibility for you.
