Class 4 from Bro. Allen Laben\u2019s series on \u201cSimon Peter\u201d.<\/p>\n
Class 3 from this series was used for GCT Episode 042.<\/p>\n
2
\n00:00:04,800 –> 00:00:08,400
\nApostle, Peter and the fourth
\nclass will be denial. <\/p>\n
3
\n00:00:09,700 –> 00:00:17,600
\nWill read Mark 14 verses 66 to
\n72 in preparation for this <\/p>\n
4
\n00:00:17,600 –> 00:00:26,200
\nclass.
\nMark 1466 through 70 72 and as <\/p>\n
5
\n00:00:26,200 –> 00:00:29,700
\nPeter was beneath in the palace,
\nthere cometh, one of the maids <\/p>\n
6
\n00:00:29,700 –> 00:00:33,700
\nof the high priest and when she
\nsaw Peter warming himself, she <\/p>\n
7
\n00:00:33,700 –> 00:00:37,800
\nlooked upon him and said and
\nthou also was with Jesus of <\/p>\n
8
\n00:00:37,800 –> 00:00:41,900
\nNazareth.
\nBut he denied saying I know not.<\/p>\n
9
\n00:00:42,100 –> 00:00:46,000
\nNeither understand I what thou
\nsayest and he went out into the <\/p>\n
10
\n00:00:46,000 –> 00:00:52,400
\nporch and the cock crew And a
\nmaid saw him again and began to <\/p>\n
11
\n00:00:52,400 –> 00:00:56,600
\nsay to them that stood by.
\nThis is one of them and he <\/p>\n
12
\n00:00:56,600 –> 00:01:01,100
\ndenied it again and a little
\nafter they that stood by sit. <\/p>\n
13
\n00:01:01,100 –> 00:01:05,099
\nAgain, to Peter, surely Thou Art
\none of them for thou art, a <\/p>\n
14
\n00:01:05,099 –> 00:01:08,000
\nGalilean in thy speech with
\nGriff there, too. <\/p>\n
15
\n00:01:09,200 –> 00:01:12,500
\nBut he began to curse and to
\nswear saying, I know, not this <\/p>\n
16
\n00:01:12,500 –> 00:01:16,900
\nman, whom you speak.
\nAnd the second time, the cock <\/p>\n
17
\n00:01:16,900 –> 00:01:20,000
\ncrew and Peter called to mind
\nthe word. <\/p>\n
18
\n00:01:20,000 –> 00:01:24,900
\nThat Jesus said unto him before
\nthe cock Crow twice, Thou shalt <\/p>\n
19
\n00:01:24,900 –> 00:01:32,000
\ndeny me Thrice and when he
\nthought their own he wept, if <\/p>\n
20
\n00:01:32,000 –> 00:01:36,000
\nthis time will call upon our
\nbrother Alan Laban and his class<\/p>\n
21
\n00:01:36,000 –> 00:01:42,500
\ndenial Good morning, everyone.
\nIt’s good to see everyone again <\/p>\n
22
\n00:01:42,500 –> 00:01:47,100
\nthis morning as we continue
\nthrough our studies on the life <\/p>\n
23
\n00:01:47,100 –> 00:01:51,700
\nand the example of Simon Peter.
\nSo as was mentioned, this is our<\/p>\n
24
\n00:01:52,100 –> 00:01:56,600
\nfourth class looking now at
\nthose events that are leading up<\/p>\n
25
\n00:01:56,600 –> 00:01:59,400
\nto the culmination of Peters
\nexperience. <\/p>\n
26
\n00:01:59,400 –> 00:02:02,600
\nWith Jesus, during his ministry,
\nwill be looking deeply into his <\/p>\n
27
\n00:02:02,900 –> 00:02:04,600
\ndenials.
\nAnd let’s start with some <\/p>\n
28
\n00:02:04,600 –> 00:02:07,800
\ncontext, our last class
\nyesterday morning. <\/p>\n
29
\n00:02:08,000 –> 00:02:11,000
\nEnded about six months away from
\nJesus death, right? <\/p>\n
30
\n00:02:11,000 –> 00:02:14,300
\nBefore, Jesus started to make
\nthat final trip down south from <\/p>\n
31
\n00:02:14,300 –> 00:02:17,200
\nthe area up around Galilee, he
\nwas up in caesarea Philippi. <\/p>\n
32
\n00:02:17,200 –> 00:02:21,400
\nWhen we left him down south to
\nJerusalem in Luke is the one <\/p>\n
33
\n00:02:21,400 –> 00:02:23,200
\nthat really takes over the
\nnarrative here. <\/p>\n
34
\n00:02:23,200 –> 00:02:25,200
\nAnd he talks about these travel
\nnarratives. <\/p>\n
35
\n00:02:25,200 –> 00:02:28,400
\nThis Narrative of his router
\ngeographically, a rather <\/p>\n
36
\n00:02:28,400 –> 00:02:31,200
\nindirect route.
\nHe makes as he goes down to <\/p>\n
37
\n00:02:31,200 –> 00:02:33,400
\nJerusalem.
\nAnd Peter appears specifically, <\/p>\n
38
\n00:02:33,400 –> 00:02:35,500
\nthree times through these travel
\nnarratives. <\/p>\n
39
\n00:02:36,100 –> 00:02:37,700
\nHe asks, three different
\ndistinct. <\/p>\n
40
\n00:02:37,900 –> 00:02:39,800
\nQuestions, he asks, about
\nforgiveness. <\/p>\n
41
\n00:02:40,000 –> 00:02:42,500
\nHow shall my brother sin against
\nme? <\/p>\n
42
\n00:02:42,500 –> 00:02:45,200
\nAnd I forgive him, that was one
\nof Peters questions to Jesus. <\/p>\n
43
\n00:02:45,600 –> 00:02:49,400
\nHe asks about the explanations
\nfor a Jesus Parables around the <\/p>\n
44
\n00:02:49,400 –> 00:02:53,000
\nkingdom and he asked about the
\nrewards, the disciples would <\/p>\n
45
\n00:02:53,000 –> 00:02:57,200
\nreceive once that Kingdom came.
\nAnd as we progress through these<\/p>\n
46
\n00:02:57,200 –> 00:03:00,300
\nfinal six months and into these
\nfinal into the final week with <\/p>\n
47
\n00:03:00,300 –> 00:03:05,000
\nJesus, it seems as if all for
\nthe gospel writers, slow down <\/p>\n
48
\n00:03:05,000 –> 00:03:07,800
\nthe pace and they pay greater
\nengagement. <\/p>\n
49
\n00:03:07,900 –> 00:03:09,600
\nGreater attention to each
\ndetail. <\/p>\n
50
\n00:03:09,600 –> 00:03:12,500
\nWe looked at this chart
\nyesterday and saw how the <\/p>\n
51
\n00:03:12,500 –> 00:03:16,300
\ngospels are concentrated.
\nNot only on this last year of <\/p>\n
52
\n00:03:16,300 –> 00:03:19,500
\nJesus’s life, 64% of all the
\nverses in the four gospels are <\/p>\n
53
\n00:03:19,500 –> 00:03:22,800
\nin the last year, but especially
\non this last week that makes up <\/p>\n
54
\n00:03:22,800 –> 00:03:26,400
\n34% over third of the Gospel
\nrecord. <\/p>\n
55
\n00:03:26,600 –> 00:03:31,200
\nAnd so now, Jesus arrives in the
\narea of Jerusalem about six days<\/p>\n
56
\n00:03:31,200 –> 00:03:35,100
\nbefore Passover and starts to
\nmake these daily trips from the <\/p>\n
57
\n00:03:35,100 –> 00:03:37,400
\narea that he’s staying in,
\nBethany up around the Mount of <\/p>\n
58
\n00:03:37,400 –> 00:03:39,400
\nOlives.
\nI was down to the kedron valley <\/p>\n
59
\n00:03:39,400 –> 00:03:41,800
\nand through the south gate up
\ninto Jerusalem and then each <\/p>\n
60
\n00:03:41,800 –> 00:03:45,500
\nnight during those final six
\ndays, he retraces his steps down<\/p>\n
61
\n00:03:45,500 –> 00:03:48,000
\nto the Kidron Valley around the
\nMount of Olives and back out to <\/p>\n
62
\n00:03:48,000 –> 00:03:50,100
\nBethany.
\nAnd it’s during this final <\/p>\n
63
\n00:03:50,100 –> 00:03:53,200
\nperiod that we see the
\ninteractions between Peter and <\/p>\n
64
\n00:03:53,500 –> 00:03:55,500
\nJesus, just explode with
\nfrequency. <\/p>\n
65
\n00:03:55,500 –> 00:03:57,800
\nHere’s our timeline that we
\nlooked at yesterday and you also<\/p>\n
66
\n00:03:57,800 –> 00:04:01,900
\nhave in your handout, we covered
\nthe interactions Peters, three <\/p>\n
67
\n00:04:01,900 –> 00:04:05,000
\ncalls during his first year.
\nWe looked at the vignette of <\/p>\n
68
\n00:04:05,000 –> 00:04:07,400
\nhim, walking on the water at the
\nclose of the second year in the <\/p>\n
69
\n00:04:07,400 –> 00:04:10,400
\nstart of the Third.
\nWe looked at Peter’s confession <\/p>\n
70
\n00:04:10,400 –> 00:04:14,400
\nof faith in the rebuke that
\nimmediately followed it in the <\/p>\n
71
\n00:04:14,400 –> 00:04:17,200
\nthird year.
\nAnd here we are in that final <\/p>\n
72
\n00:04:17,200 –> 00:04:21,600
\nweek when all these interactions
\ncluster together between Peter <\/p>\n
73
\n00:04:21,700 –> 00:04:24,300
\nand his master.
\nAnd while many of these <\/p>\n
74
\n00:04:24,300 –> 00:04:28,600
\ninteractions between Peter and
\nJesus are recorded in, maybe one<\/p>\n
75
\n00:04:28,600 –> 00:04:32,000
\nor two of the Gospel records,
\nthere is one series of <\/p>\n
76
\n00:04:32,000 –> 00:04:34,600
\ninteractions.
\nThat is recorded in all four <\/p>\n
77
\n00:04:34,600 –> 00:04:40,600
\ngospel records, and that is in
\nthe The denials of the denials <\/p>\n
78
\n00:04:40,600 –> 00:04:44,500
\nof Jesus, this chart gives us a
\nvisual representation of where <\/p>\n
79
\n00:04:44,500 –> 00:04:47,800
\neach gospel contains information
\nthat is unique just to that <\/p>\n
80
\n00:04:47,800 –> 00:04:50,400
\ngospel, right?
\nSo the Mark only has a very <\/p>\n
81
\n00:04:50,400 –> 00:04:53,300
\nsmall little bit that are eating
\nthe green, that’s only found in <\/p>\n
82
\n00:04:53,300 –> 00:04:55,600
\nMark.
\nMatthew has a slightly larger <\/p>\n
83
\n00:04:55,600 –> 00:04:57,200
\nportion that’s only found in
\nMatthew. <\/p>\n
84
\n00:04:57,500 –> 00:05:00,600
\nMost of the unique material in
\nLuke, isn’t that travel <\/p>\n
85
\n00:05:00,600 –> 00:05:03,400
\nnarrative portion?
\nAs Jesus Journey Down south From<\/p>\n
86
\n00:05:03,400 –> 00:05:07,000
\nGalilee down to Jerusalem and
\nthen John as you read it, it <\/p>\n
87
\n00:05:07,000 –> 00:05:10,900
\nreads like a A very unique
\nnarrative, has the majority of <\/p>\n
88
\n00:05:10,900 –> 00:05:14,200
\nits unique information, compared
\nto the others, and a lot of that<\/p>\n
89
\n00:05:14,200 –> 00:05:17,500
\nis concentrated on that last
\nweek and even on that last <\/p>\n
90
\n00:05:17,500 –> 00:05:20,000
\nnight.
\nThe blue is where the gospels <\/p>\n
91
\n00:05:20,000 –> 00:05:23,300
\nhave items that are in common
\nwhere multiple gospels talk <\/p>\n
92
\n00:05:23,300 –> 00:05:26,500
\nabout the same event and
\nwhenever you see it, you should <\/p>\n
93
\n00:05:26,500 –> 00:05:28,500
\ntake note.
\nAnd the Bible repetition is a <\/p>\n
94
\n00:05:28,508 –> 00:05:30,400
\nteaching device.
\nAnd so when something’s <\/p>\n
95
\n00:05:30,400 –> 00:05:33,500
\nrepeated, we should pause and
\nsay, ah, why is that repeated? <\/p>\n
96
\n00:05:33,500 –> 00:05:37,600
\nWhat can I learn from that and
\nall four? <\/p>\n
97
\n00:05:37,800 –> 00:05:41,400
\nGospels Converge on talking
\nabout Peter’s denial. <\/p>\n
98
\n00:05:41,800 –> 00:05:43,800
\nIt’s interesting to note that
\nthe most information we get <\/p>\n
99
\n00:05:43,800 –> 00:05:47,600
\nabout Peters denial is from
\nMark’s gospel and we haven’t <\/p>\n
100
\n00:05:47,600 –> 00:05:51,200
\nreally dug into this fact too
\nmuch this weekend but Mark was <\/p>\n
101
\n00:05:51,200 –> 00:05:52,900
\nthe Gospel.
\nThat was most likely written <\/p>\n
102
\n00:05:52,900 –> 00:05:56,000
\nbased off of Peters testimony.
\nAnd so you get a unique <\/p>\n
103
\n00:05:56,000 –> 00:06:00,200
\nperspective on Peter by looking
\nat the gospel that was largely <\/p>\n
104
\n00:06:00,200 –> 00:06:04,300
\ncomprised of Peters observations
\nabout Jesus and Peter in his <\/p>\n
105
\n00:06:04,300 –> 00:06:08,400
\nhumility in Mark’s gospel.
\nIt records the Detail. <\/p>\n
106
\n00:06:08,400 –> 00:06:10,700
\nIt’s one of the only places
\nwhere Marc records more detailed<\/p>\n
107
\n00:06:10,700 –> 00:06:13,400
\nin the other gospels about that
\nDenial. <\/p>\n
108
\n00:06:13,900 –> 00:06:16,600
\nIn addition to what we read in
\nour opening reading in Mark 14 <\/p>\n
109
\n00:06:16,600 –> 00:06:21,600
\n16 66 to 72 Peters denial is
\nalso recorded over in Matthew <\/p>\n
110
\n00:06:21,700 –> 00:06:26,200
\nand Luke and in John, and I’ll
\nbe putting all four passages up <\/p>\n
111
\n00:06:26,200 –> 00:06:30,300
\non the screen here as we try to
\nharmonize those accounts. <\/p>\n
112
\n00:06:31,800 –> 00:06:34,400
\nSo we’re going to start with the
\nlast supplements. <\/p>\n
113
\n00:06:34,400 –> 00:06:37,700
\nThis is that with the Last
\nSupper, as a narrative of the <\/p>\n
114
\n00:06:37,700 –> 00:06:40,400
\nfour gospels converge.
\nThis is where it’s helpful to <\/p>\n
115
\n00:06:40,400 –> 00:06:44,200
\nread a parallel Bible account
\nthat lines up the events. <\/p>\n
116
\n00:06:44,600 –> 00:06:47,500
\nAs you can see on the screen
\nhere, it’s only through <\/p>\n
117
\n00:06:47,500 –> 00:06:49,100
\naligning.
\nThose four counts that we get a <\/p>\n
118
\n00:06:49,108 –> 00:06:51,500
\ncomplete picture of all the
\nevents in the sequence. <\/p>\n
119
\n00:06:51,500 –> 00:06:54,800
\nThat’s taking place around that
\nlast supper leading up to <\/p>\n
120
\n00:06:54,800 –> 00:06:56,700
\nPeter’s Denial on the night of
\nJesus. <\/p>\n
121
\n00:06:56,700 –> 00:07:02,000
\nBetrayal will be zeroing in here
\non three episodes in Alert <\/p>\n
122
\n00:07:02,000 –> 00:07:05,900
\nduring the Last Supper that set
\nthe stage for the denials, just <\/p>\n
123
\n00:07:05,900 –> 00:07:08,600
\nlike there were three denials
\nJesus warned. <\/p>\n
124
\n00:07:08,600 –> 00:07:12,900
\nPeter about those denials three
\ntimes and three times, Peter <\/p>\n
125
\n00:07:12,900 –> 00:07:15,500
\nalso made these overarching
\npromises of how he would never <\/p>\n
126
\n00:07:15,500 –> 00:07:17,600
\ndeny Christ.
\nHe would always stay by his <\/p>\n
127
\n00:07:17,600 –> 00:07:20,600
\nside.
\nIt’s John that records, the <\/p>\n
128
\n00:07:20,600 –> 00:07:22,800
\nfirst warning.
\nPlease turn there with me to <\/p>\n
129
\n00:07:22,800 –> 00:07:28,300
\nJohn chapter 13 after they
\ngathered in the upper room, <\/p>\n
130
\n00:07:28,500 –> 00:07:32,000
\nJesus washed his disciples feet
\nas recorded in those opening <\/p>\n
131
\n00:07:32,000 –> 00:07:36,400
\nverses of John chapter 13 verses
\n1 through 17 at first, as we <\/p>\n
132
\n00:07:36,400 –> 00:07:40,200
\nknow Peter resisted and then he
\ninsisted, he’d be washed all <\/p>\n
133
\n00:07:40,200 –> 00:07:42,600
\nover and while we don’t have
\ntime to look into it. <\/p>\n
134
\n00:07:42,600 –> 00:07:46,600
\nNow, this was another turning
\npoint for Peter, realizing that <\/p>\n
135
\n00:07:46,600 –> 00:07:49,500
\na life following Jesus meant a
\nlife of service Jesus. <\/p>\n
136
\n00:07:49,500 –> 00:07:52,100
\nSaid at the end of that
\nencounter, if I then your Lord <\/p>\n
137
\n00:07:52,100 –> 00:07:55,400
\nand Master have washed your
\nfeet, you also ought to wash one<\/p>\n
138
\n00:07:55,400 –> 00:07:59,100
\nanother’s feet.
\nBrave given you an example that <\/p>\n
139
\n00:07:59,100 –> 00:08:00,900
\nyou should do as I have done for
\nyou. <\/p>\n
140
\n00:08:02,000 –> 00:08:05,200
\nIn John 13, moving down to
\nverses 23 through 35. <\/p>\n
141
\n00:08:05,500 –> 00:08:09,300
\nJesus warned, that one of them
\nthat that supper would betray <\/p>\n
142
\n00:08:09,300 –> 00:08:12,600
\nhim the disciples are there,
\nleft wondering if it was them <\/p>\n
143
\n00:08:12,700 –> 00:08:14,900
\nthat would be betraying Jesus.
\nThey didn’t know at that point <\/p>\n
144
\n00:08:14,900 –> 00:08:18,700
\nit was Judas it’s in that
\ncontext that they eat that first<\/p>\n
145
\n00:08:18,700 –> 00:08:22,600
\nMemorial meal when they witness.
\nThe example of Jesus washing <\/p>\n
146
\n00:08:22,600 –> 00:08:25,800
\ntheir feet and now examining
\ntheir own Hearts to see, could <\/p>\n
147
\n00:08:25,800 –> 00:08:27,700
\nit be them?
\nThat would be trailer Master. <\/p>\n
148
\n00:08:28,400 –> 00:08:32,700
\nJesus privacy privately, let’s
\nJudas know that what that he <\/p>\n
149
\n00:08:32,700 –> 00:08:36,299
\nknew what was going to happen.
\nAnd then when Judas leaves the <\/p>\n
150
\n00:08:36,299 –> 00:08:39,100
\nmeal and goes out into the
\nnight, Jesus knows they’re only <\/p>\n
151
\n00:08:39,100 –> 00:08:42,700
\nhours left the clock starts
\nticking, then turning back to <\/p>\n
152
\n00:08:42,700 –> 00:08:46,900
\nhis disciples, he addresses them
\nall, in John 13, Verse 33 little<\/p>\n
153
\n00:08:46,900 –> 00:08:48,800
\nchildren.
\nYet a little while. <\/p>\n
154
\n00:08:48,800 –> 00:08:52,200
\nI Am with You, ye shall seek me.
\nAnd, as I said unto the Jews, <\/p>\n
155
\n00:08:52,200 –> 00:08:57,000
\nwhether I go, you cannot come.
\nSo now I say to you, Peter <\/p>\n
156
\n00:08:57,000 –> 00:09:01,500
\nhears, this and is Disturbed.
\nFirst Jesus says someone there, <\/p>\n
157
\n00:09:01,500 –> 00:09:04,700
\nsomeone among the 12 is going to
\nbetray him and now he talks <\/p>\n
158
\n00:09:04,700 –> 00:09:06,600
\nabout going to a place he can’t
\nfollow. <\/p>\n
159
\n00:09:06,800 –> 00:09:08,600
\nIf there’s one thing we’ve
\nlearned about Peter by this <\/p>\n
160
\n00:09:08,600 –> 00:09:11,100
\npoint is that Peter wants to be
\nclose to Jesus. <\/p>\n
161
\n00:09:11,100 –> 00:09:14,100
\nHe does not want to go to a
\nplace where Jesus is not he <\/p>\n
162
\n00:09:14,100 –> 00:09:17,500
\nwants to follow Jesus everywhere
\nand that brings us to the first <\/p>\n
163
\n00:09:17,500 –> 00:09:20,800
\nof the three warnings Jesus
\ngives Peter about the upcoming <\/p>\n
164
\n00:09:20,800 –> 00:09:24,400
\ndenials.
\nSo, moving down to a verse 37, <\/p>\n
165
\n00:09:24,900 –> 00:09:26,700
\nPeter says unto him.
\nLord, Ready. <\/p>\n
166
\n00:09:27,100 –> 00:09:31,300
\nWhy cannot I follow the now?
\nI will lay down my life for thy <\/p>\n
167
\n00:09:31,300 –> 00:09:34,400
\nsake.
\nAt one level, we can see Peters <\/p>\n
168
\n00:09:34,400 –> 00:09:37,200
\ngrowth here.
\nPeter wants to go wherever Jesus<\/p>\n
169
\n00:09:37,200 –> 00:09:40,300
\nis going nomura, trying to
\nresist his call. <\/p>\n
170
\n00:09:40,300 –> 00:09:42,200
\nLike we saw back on the shores
\nof Galilee. <\/p>\n
171
\n00:09:42,200 –> 00:09:45,200
\nNo more like trying to stop him
\nas we saw him dirty back down <\/p>\n
172
\n00:09:45,200 –> 00:09:49,100
\nfrom caesarea Philippi and Peter
\nhere makes the first of his <\/p>\n
173
\n00:09:49,100 –> 00:09:52,000
\nthree promises.
\nI will lay down my life for you <\/p>\n
174
\n00:09:52,600 –> 00:09:55,300
\nat this point.
\nHe does not know the ironic <\/p>\n
175
\n00:09:55,300 –> 00:09:56,800
\nnature of that.
\nStatement. <\/p>\n
176
\n00:09:56,800 –> 00:10:00,600
\nIt was Jesus, that would be
\nlaying down his life for Peter. <\/p>\n
177
\n00:10:01,800 –> 00:10:05,400
\nAnd Jesus responds lay down your
\nlife for me, by the time, the <\/p>\n
178
\n00:10:05,408 –> 00:10:08,100
\nnight is over.
\nYou won’t even admit to knowing <\/p>\n
179
\n00:10:08,100 –> 00:10:10,300
\nme.
\nFrom here. <\/p>\n
180
\n00:10:10,300 –> 00:10:12,600
\nWe’ll leave John’s account in
\nJohn Chapter 13 and move over to<\/p>\n
181
\n00:10:12,600 –> 00:10:14,900
\nLuke 22 where we see the second
\npromise from Peter. <\/p>\n
182
\n00:10:14,900 –> 00:10:16,600
\nAnd the second warning from
\nJesus. <\/p>\n
183
\n00:10:16,600 –> 00:10:20,500
\nAbout those upcoming denials,
\ngoing back to our timeline, the <\/p>\n
184
\n00:10:20,500 –> 00:10:24,100
\nparallel account for Luke, 22
\nindicates, that, after Jesus is <\/p>\n
185
\n00:10:24,100 –> 00:10:27,800
\nfirst, warnings debate started
\nto arise among the disciples <\/p>\n
186
\n00:10:27,800 –> 00:10:29,300
\nabout, who would be the
\ngreatest. <\/p>\n
187
\n00:10:29,700 –> 00:10:33,000
\nIt was certainly a misplaced
\nconversation, considering the <\/p>\n
188
\n00:10:33,200 –> 00:10:37,300
\nthe context, but we can see
\nwhere that debate arose from <\/p>\n
189
\n00:10:37,600 –> 00:10:38,000
\nright.
\nWhat? <\/p>\n
190
\n00:10:38,000 –> 00:10:39,300
\nWhat happened?
\nJust before, go back to the <\/p>\n
191
\n00:10:39,300 –> 00:10:41,000
\ntime.
\nWhen Jesus announces, that one <\/p>\n
192
\n00:10:41,000 –> 00:10:42,100
\nof them is going to portray
\nthem. <\/p>\n
193
\n00:10:42,100 –> 00:10:43,600
\nAll the disciples are wondering
\nis it? <\/p>\n
194
\n00:10:43,600 –> 00:10:49,900
\nI they’re examining themselves
\nand it says over in Luke 22 <\/p>\n
195
\n00:10:49,900 –> 00:10:52,600
\nverse 23, they began to inquire
\namong themselves. <\/p>\n
196
\n00:10:53,800 –> 00:10:57,600
\nAnd as is so often the case,
\nwhat should be an examination of<\/p>\n
197
\n00:10:57,600 –> 00:11:01,000
\nourselves individually turns
\ninto an examination of those <\/p>\n
198
\n00:11:01,000 –> 00:11:04,300
\naround us, turns into a
\ncomparison of ourselves first <\/p>\n
199
\n00:11:04,400 –> 00:11:09,400
\nothers, the flesh tries to lift
\nitself up by comparing ourselves<\/p>\n
200
\n00:11:09,400 –> 00:11:12,000
\nto others the flashlights to
\navoid examination. <\/p>\n
201
\n00:11:12,300 –> 00:11:14,900
\nWhen it can just examine the
\nfaults in someone else. <\/p>\n
202
\n00:11:14,900 –> 00:11:17,000
\nThat’s much easier to examine
\nthe faults of your neighbor. <\/p>\n
203
\n00:11:17,000 –> 00:11:19,900
\nAnd then the thoughts of
\nyourself, it’s like when Jesus <\/p>\n
204
\n00:11:19,900 –> 00:11:23,000
\ntalked about the Pharisee back
\nin, Luke 18 who looked up to <\/p>\n
205
\n00:11:23,000 –> 00:11:27,500
\nheaven and I prayed I thank thee
\nthat I am not as other men are <\/p>\n
206
\n00:11:28,100 –> 00:11:29,700
\nand we can fall into that same
\ntrap. <\/p>\n
207
\n00:11:29,900 –> 00:11:33,700
\nWe can compare ourselves to
\nthose around us and when we’re <\/p>\n
208
\n00:11:33,700 –> 00:11:36,900
\ncalled to examine ourselves and
\nlight of the memorials is not to<\/p>\n
209
\n00:11:36,900 –> 00:11:40,100
\nthe other sitting around us it’s
\nto the example of our Lord Jesus<\/p>\n
210
\n00:11:40,100 –> 00:11:43,400
\nChrist.
\nJesus addressed the topic here <\/p>\n
211
\n00:11:44,000 –> 00:11:47,600
\nbut then turns his attention
\nback to Peter and gives him his <\/p>\n
212
\n00:11:47,600 –> 00:11:50,900
\nsecond warning.
\nNow down in Luke, 22, verse 31. <\/p>\n
213
\n00:11:51,600 –> 00:11:53,900
\nSo based on the debate, the
\ndisciples had all just engaged <\/p>\n
214
\n00:11:53,900 –> 00:11:56,500
\nin.
\nJesus knew that Peter hadn’t <\/p>\n
215
\n00:11:56,500 –> 00:12:00,800
\nreally heard his first warning,
\nso picking up in verse 31, Jesus<\/p>\n
216
\n00:12:00,800 –> 00:12:03,800
\nappealed to Peter calling him
\nSimon. <\/p>\n
217
\n00:12:04,100 –> 00:12:07,100
\nSimon a double emphasis.
\nThe only time we see this used <\/p>\n
218
\n00:12:07,100 –> 00:12:09,200
\nin scripture using his old given
\nname. <\/p>\n
219
\n00:12:09,200 –> 00:12:12,500
\nThat means to here.
\nReminding this He needed to <\/p>\n
220
\n00:12:12,500 –> 00:12:17,100
\nlisten, he needed to listen.
\nJesus says to Peter behold, <\/p>\n
221
\n00:12:17,200 –> 00:12:20,700
\nSatan, hath desired to have you
\nthat he may sift. <\/p>\n
222
\n00:12:20,700 –> 00:12:25,100
\nYou as wheat.
\nWho is the Satan that Jesus was <\/p>\n
223
\n00:12:25,100 –> 00:12:27,800
\nreferring to hear?
\nWhat Satan was Desiring to have <\/p>\n
224
\n00:12:27,800 –> 00:12:29,000
\npeer.
\nWell, there’s two options. <\/p>\n
225
\n00:12:29,500 –> 00:12:33,100
\nThis could be a reference to
\nPeter’s inner adversary, his <\/p>\n
226
\n00:12:33,100 –> 00:12:36,000
\nflesh, his own personal saying,
\nthere’s certainly a scriptural <\/p>\n
227
\n00:12:36,000 –> 00:12:38,500
\nprecedent for that.
\nIt was just as six months ago, <\/p>\n
228
\n00:12:38,500 –> 00:12:43,600
\nthat Peter was called Satan by
\nJesus on their road back from <\/p>\n
229
\n00:12:43,600 –> 00:12:46,000
\ncaesarea.
\nPhilippi Peter was again being <\/p>\n
230
\n00:12:46,000 –> 00:12:47,900
\nhis own adversary here by not
\ntaking. <\/p>\n
231
\n00:12:47,900 –> 00:12:51,900
\nSeriously, Jesus is warning.
\nSo convinced of was he of his <\/p>\n
232
\n00:12:51,900 –> 00:12:54,700
\nown loyalty?
\nThat he wasn’t pausing to listen<\/p>\n
233
\n00:12:55,000 –> 00:12:59,700
\nto hear what Jesus had to say.
\nWe’re it’s reminiscent of what <\/p>\n
234
\n00:12:59,700 –> 00:13:02,900
\nwe see over in First Corinthians
\nchapter 10 and verse 12. <\/p>\n
235
\n00:13:02,900 –> 00:13:06,900
\nWherefore let him that thinketh.
\nHe standeth, take heed, lest he <\/p>\n
236
\n00:13:06,900 –> 00:13:10,200
\nfall, Peter was convinced.
\nHe was going to stand and he had<\/p>\n
237
\n00:13:10,200 –> 00:13:13,200
\nto paused and realized that he
\nwas vulnerable. <\/p>\n
238
\n00:13:14,000 –> 00:13:17,500
\nBut the other possibility here
\nis that Satan refers to the <\/p>\n
239
\n00:13:17,500 –> 00:13:20,700
\nrulers of the people similar to
\nhow John would later in <\/p>\n
240
\n00:13:20,700 –> 00:13:22,700
\nRevelation.
\nChapter 2 verse 13. <\/p>\n
241
\n00:13:22,800 –> 00:13:27,300
\nTo the roaming, Roman ruling
\nclass as Satan in pergamos or <\/p>\n
242
\n00:13:27,300 –> 00:13:30,900
\nhow Peter himself later referred
\nto the Roman Emperor Nero. <\/p>\n
243
\n00:13:30,900 –> 00:13:35,500
\nAs the devil could Satan here,
\nbe referring to the ruling <\/p>\n
244
\n00:13:35,500 –> 00:13:39,300
\nclass, to the Sanhedrin who had
\nbeen conspiring over that <\/p>\n
245
\n00:13:39,800 –> 00:13:43,500
\nprevious week to arrest Jesus.
\nWere they interested in Peter as<\/p>\n
246
\n00:13:43,500 –> 00:13:46,800
\nwell?
\nThat language that Jesus uses <\/p>\n
247
\n00:13:46,800 –> 00:13:49,200
\nMay sift.
\nYou as wheat is significant, it <\/p>\n
248
\n00:13:49,200 –> 00:13:52,100
\ncomes from Amos, chapter 9 verse
\n9, where it’s talking about <\/p>\n
249
\n00:13:52,100 –> 00:13:54,400
\nIsrael.
\nSelf being sifted among the <\/p>\n
250
\n00:13:54,400 –> 00:13:57,500
\nnation’s, the Jewish rulers,
\ncertainly wanted to sift the <\/p>\n
251
\n00:13:57,500 –> 00:14:01,000
\ndisciples, sort them in separate
\nthem and disperse them apart. <\/p>\n
252
\n00:14:01,800 –> 00:14:05,400
\nIronically, it was those Jewish
\nrulers themselves that would be <\/p>\n
253
\n00:14:05,400 –> 00:14:11,000
\nsifted as wheat in 70 AD Jesus
\nsays that he prayed for Peters <\/p>\n
254
\n00:14:11,000 –> 00:14:14,500
\nFaith here that it would not
\nfail or or be eclipsed by the <\/p>\n
255
\n00:14:14,500 –> 00:14:17,100
\ndarkness of the night that was
\nabout to come. <\/p>\n
256
\n00:14:17,100 –> 00:14:21,100
\nAnd he also tells Peter, that he
\nprayed that he would focus on <\/p>\n
257
\n00:14:21,100 –> 00:14:24,800
\nstrengthening his breath
\nPeter’s, Focus was still <\/p>\n
258
\n00:14:24,900 –> 00:14:26,300
\nprimarily on himself.
\nRight? <\/p>\n
259
\n00:14:26,400 –> 00:14:30,000
\nWhy can I not follow you?
\nI will lay down my life for you.<\/p>\n
260
\n00:14:30,500 –> 00:14:33,600
\nJesus not only prayed that Peter
\nwould not fall away, but he <\/p>\n
261
\n00:14:33,600 –> 00:14:35,700
\nwould help his Brethren not fall
\naway. <\/p>\n
262
\n00:14:35,700 –> 00:14:39,700
\nEither, this was a lesson that
\nPeter clearly learned, we read <\/p>\n
263
\n00:14:39,700 –> 00:14:42,600
\nlater in acts, in his Epistles
\nof the efforts of Peter to <\/p>\n
264
\n00:14:42,600 –> 00:14:45,800
\nstrengthen his Brethren and that
\nword that Jesus used strengthen <\/p>\n
265
\n00:14:46,000 –> 00:14:48,200
\nbecomes a term Peter touches on
\ntime. <\/p>\n
266
\n00:14:48,300 –> 00:14:53,900
\nAnd again, for example, in a
\nfirst Peter, he Moses his <\/p>\n
267
\n00:14:53,900 –> 00:14:57,900
\nepistle and first Peter 5:10
\nwith these words but the God of <\/p>\n
268
\n00:14:57,900 –> 00:15:00,600
\nall Grace who hath called us
\nunto his eternal, glory by <\/p>\n
269
\n00:15:00,600 –> 00:15:02,900
\nChrist Jesus.
\nAfter that ye have suffered a <\/p>\n
270
\n00:15:02,900 –> 00:15:07,900
\nwhile, make you perfect
\nestablished and also the opening<\/p>\n
271
\n00:15:07,900 –> 00:15:10,800
\nof his Second Epistle Peter
\nreturns to this word. <\/p>\n
272
\n00:15:10,800 –> 00:15:14,300
\nStrengthened, wherefore, I will
\nnot be negligent to put. <\/p>\n
273
\n00:15:14,300 –> 00:15:17,700
\nYou always in remembrance of
\nthese things though you know, <\/p>\n
274
\n00:15:17,700 –> 00:15:22,900
\nthem and be established that
\nsame word strengthen all. <\/p>\n
275
\n00:15:23,100 –> 00:15:25,700
\nSo interesting here is the use
\nof the word converted. <\/p>\n
276
\n00:15:25,700 –> 00:15:29,800
\nWe alluded to this in our first
\nclass, how here we have Peter <\/p>\n
277
\n00:15:29,800 –> 00:15:31,800
\nand Jesus toward the end of
\nJesus. <\/p>\n
278
\n00:15:31,800 –> 00:15:35,000
\nMinistry in still.
\nPeter has yet to be converted. <\/p>\n
279
\n00:15:35,000 –> 00:15:37,700
\nThe word converted is a fairly
\ncommon Greek term. <\/p>\n
280
\n00:15:37,700 –> 00:15:41,000
\nIt just means to turn again or
\nturn back and I think it’s safe <\/p>\n
281
\n00:15:41,000 –> 00:15:43,600
\nto say that Peter at this point
\nthought he had been converted. <\/p>\n
282
\n00:15:43,600 –> 00:15:48,000
\nBut what Jesus is instructing us
\nhere, is that conversion is a <\/p>\n
283
\n00:15:48,000 –> 00:15:51,800
\ncontinual process.
\nJust as is growth, there will be<\/p>\n
284
\n00:15:51,808 –> 00:15:55,000
\nmultiple points in our lives.
\nIt’s we have to turn in turn <\/p>\n
285
\n00:15:55,000 –> 00:15:58,400
\nagain toward Christ.
\nContinuing back in Luke’s <\/p>\n
286
\n00:15:58,400 –> 00:16:02,500
\naccount in verse 33.
\nPeter responds, Lord. <\/p>\n
287
\n00:16:02,700 –> 00:16:06,500
\nI am ready to go with thee both
\ninto prison and to death. <\/p>\n
288
\n00:16:07,000 –> 00:16:10,400
\nIf there’s one thing we can say
\nfor Peter it’s that he tries and<\/p>\n
289
\n00:16:10,400 –> 00:16:13,200
\nhis response, he is showing that
\nhe’s trying Peter. <\/p>\n
290
\n00:16:13,200 –> 00:16:16,700
\nListen to what Jesus said and
\nrecalled the last time he heard <\/p>\n
291
\n00:16:16,700 –> 00:16:20,500
\nJesus used that word Satan and
\nand the conversation he was <\/p>\n
292
\n00:16:20,500 –> 00:16:22,900
\ntrying to prevent Jesus from
\ngoing to his death. <\/p>\n
293
\n00:16:23,100 –> 00:16:24,400
\nSo, you can see some growth
\nhere. <\/p>\n
294
\n00:16:24,400 –> 00:16:27,900
\nNow, Peter, accepts that Peter
\nis not trying to prevent Jesus <\/p>\n
295
\n00:16:27,900 –> 00:16:30,900
\nfrom going down this path.
\nHe’s now saying, wherever it <\/p>\n
296
\n00:16:30,900 –> 00:16:35,200
\nleads, he will go with his Lord.
\nJesus responds in verse 34. <\/p>\n
297
\n00:16:35,500 –> 00:16:39,300
\nI tell thee Peter, the cock
\nshall not Crow this day before <\/p>\n
298
\n00:16:39,300 –> 00:16:44,900
\nThou shalt Thrice deny.
\nThat thou knowest me just like <\/p>\n
299
\n00:16:44,900 –> 00:16:47,800
\nthe double use of that name.
\nSimon Simon previously, would <\/p>\n
300
\n00:16:47,800 –> 00:16:50,600
\nhave caught Peters attention.
\nNow, Jesus is catching Peters <\/p>\n
301
\n00:16:50,600 –> 00:16:55,800
\nattention by using his name.
\nPeter You see even though Jesus <\/p>\n
302
\n00:16:55,800 –> 00:16:58,900
\nchanged the name.
\nSimon’s, name to Peter back in <\/p>\n
303
\n00:16:58,900 –> 00:17:02,300
\ntheir first encounter.
\nJesus had only used that name <\/p>\n
304
\n00:17:02,300 –> 00:17:04,700
\nwhile at this point to other
\ntimes. <\/p>\n
305
\n00:17:04,700 –> 00:17:08,200
\nI had that first instance, back
\nin a John 1 verse 42, when he <\/p>\n
306
\n00:17:08,200 –> 00:17:11,099
\nwas initially called.
\nAnd that second instance, as we <\/p>\n
307
\n00:17:11,099 –> 00:17:13,700
\nsaw after that great confession,
\nin Matthew, 16 Verse 18. <\/p>\n
308
\n00:17:13,700 –> 00:17:16,900
\nSo this is only the third time
\nthat Jesus is using that name. <\/p>\n
309
\n00:17:16,900 –> 00:17:21,700
\nPeter, it would have made Peter
\nperk up as we know Peter in the <\/p>\n
310
\n00:17:21,700 –> 00:17:24,800
\nGreek is Petros.
\nMeaning a A rock is contrasted <\/p>\n
311
\n00:17:24,800 –> 00:17:28,900
\nwith the more common term for a
\nlarge mass of rock Petra, Peter,<\/p>\n
312
\n00:17:28,900 –> 00:17:32,400
\nthat piece of rock would only
\nfind his strength in connection <\/p>\n
313
\n00:17:32,400 –> 00:17:36,600
\nwith that larger foundation
\nstone of Christ of Christ. <\/p>\n
314
\n00:17:36,600 –> 00:17:40,600
\nAnd like, this was Peters,
\nsecond promised, this would be <\/p>\n
315
\n00:17:40,600 –> 00:17:45,800
\nJesus’s second warning to Peter.
\nJesus warned, Peter, that in his<\/p>\n
316
\n00:17:45,800 –> 00:17:50,300
\ncoming denials, he was about to
\ntreat that rock of Christ as a <\/p>\n
317
\n00:17:50,308 –> 00:17:53,000
\nstumbling Stone, Peter himself
\nwould treat. <\/p>\n
318
\n00:17:53,300 –> 00:17:58,400
\nJesus, as a rock of offense,
\nIraq, to be rejected returning <\/p>\n
319
\n00:17:58,400 –> 00:18:01,500
\nto our Harmony of the accounts
\nwill next move to Matthew. <\/p>\n
320
\n00:18:01,500 –> 00:18:04,800
\nAnd Mark, where we’ll see Jesus,
\nwarned, Peter, a third, tyrants,<\/p>\n
321
\n00:18:04,800 –> 00:18:07,000
\nare you missing?
\nWe’re working our ways right? <\/p>\n
322
\n00:18:07,000 –> 00:18:09,400
\nTo left the first warning in the
\nfirst promised in John, the <\/p>\n
323
\n00:18:09,400 –> 00:18:11,200
\nsecond warning, the second
\npromise in Luke. <\/p>\n
324
\n00:18:11,300 –> 00:18:14,200
\nAnd now the third warning, the
\nthird promise in Matthew and <\/p>\n
325
\n00:18:14,200 –> 00:18:17,900
\nMark setting up this denial
\nsequence following Peter second <\/p>\n
326
\n00:18:17,900 –> 00:18:20,700
\nwarning, Jesus warned, all of
\nhis disciples of the struggles <\/p>\n
327
\n00:18:20,700 –> 00:18:23,100
\nto come and exhorts them to
\nembrace. <\/p>\n
328
\n00:18:23,300 –> 00:18:27,400
\nPeace of God, the disciples then
\nleave the upper room after they <\/p>\n
329
\n00:18:27,400 –> 00:18:29,800
\nsing A Hymn and they begin to
\nexit the city. <\/p>\n
330
\n00:18:30,000 –> 00:18:32,600
\nAnd at first, this would seem
\nlike the prior six nights in <\/p>\n
331
\n00:18:32,600 –> 00:18:35,300
\nJerusalem where they exited down
\nto the south gate, start to make<\/p>\n
332
\n00:18:35,300 –> 00:18:37,700
\ntheir way North to the Kidron
\nValley round, the Mount of <\/p>\n
333
\n00:18:37,700 –> 00:18:43,000
\nOlives and head out to Bethany
\nwith Jesus, talking to them, and<\/p>\n
334
\n00:18:43,000 –> 00:18:47,700
\nteaching them along the way.
\nHowever, this time they didn’t <\/p>\n
335
\n00:18:47,700 –> 00:18:51,200
\ngo all the way up to Bethany as
\nthey had previous night’s <\/p>\n
336
\n00:18:51,400 –> 00:18:54,500
\ninstead, they went off to this
\nGarden alongside, Luke mentions <\/p>\n
337
\n00:18:54,500 –> 00:18:57,700
\nin 22 verse 39, that they have
\ndone this before so it may not <\/p>\n
338
\n00:18:57,700 –> 00:19:03,400
\nhave seemed as unusual initially
\nand it’s here in as they’re <\/p>\n
339
\n00:19:03,400 –> 00:19:07,000
\nheading into the garden that we
\nread of Peters, third warning in<\/p>\n
340
\n00:19:07,000 –> 00:19:11,400
\nhis third promise, just before
\nJesus is Agony, there in the <\/p>\n
341
\n00:19:11,400 –> 00:19:14,700
\ngarden.
\nMatthew and Mark record, what <\/p>\n
342
\n00:19:14,700 –> 00:19:16,300
\nhappens next?
\nI’ve got both accounts up here <\/p>\n
343
\n00:19:16,300 –> 00:19:20,700
\non the screen now, he isn’t now,
\nthis warning isn’t just directed<\/p>\n
344
\n00:19:20,700 –> 00:19:25,000
\nat Peter, but at all, the
\ndisciples Matthew 14:27 records,<\/p>\n
345
\n00:19:25,000 –> 00:19:28,200
\nthat Jesus said to them all, ye
\nshall be offended. <\/p>\n
346
\n00:19:28,200 –> 00:19:31,900
\nBecause of me, this night for it
\nis written, I will Smite the <\/p>\n
347
\n00:19:31,900 –> 00:19:35,000
\nshepherd, and the Sheep shall be
\nscattered, but after I am risen,<\/p>\n
348
\n00:19:35,000 –> 00:19:38,700
\nI will go before you into
\nGalilee Jesus words. <\/p>\n
349
\n00:19:38,700 –> 00:19:41,300
\nHere were meant as a warning,
\nbut also to give some comfort <\/p>\n
350
\n00:19:41,600 –> 00:19:44,100
\nthough, they see.
\nSoon would be scattered, Jesus <\/p>\n
351
\n00:19:44,100 –> 00:19:48,000
\nwould see them again back in the
\nplace where it all began on <\/p>\n
352
\n00:19:48,000 –> 00:19:51,000
\nthose shores of Galilee, though,
\nhe is the shepherd would be <\/p>\n
353
\n00:19:51,000 –> 00:19:53,400
\nstruck.
\nHe would come back for his <\/p>\n
354
\n00:19:53,400 –> 00:19:55,800
\nsheep.
\nPeter’s response here was <\/p>\n
355
\n00:19:55,800 –> 00:20:00,100
\nimmediate, although all shall be
\noffended yet, will not. <\/p>\n
356
\n00:20:00,100 –> 00:20:03,000
\nI eagerness here can be
\ncommended. <\/p>\n
357
\n00:20:03,000 –> 00:20:04,900
\nHis commitment.
\nHere is absolute. <\/p>\n
358
\n00:20:04,900 –> 00:20:08,600
\nThere is no doubt that his mind
\nis made up that regardless of <\/p>\n
359
\n00:20:08,600 –> 00:20:11,100
\nwhat happens around him,
\nregardless of, if all the other <\/p>\n
360
\n00:20:11,100 –> 00:20:13,800
\ndisciples leave I would stick
\nwith his lord, and there is a <\/p>\n
361
\n00:20:13,800 –> 00:20:16,700
\nreal admirable quality.
\nWe can be quick to criticize <\/p>\n
362
\n00:20:17,200 –> 00:20:20,900
\nPeters overconfidence here, but
\nthere’s a real admirable quality<\/p>\n
363
\n00:20:20,900 –> 00:20:23,900
\nin what Peter says and one that
\nwe should emulate. <\/p>\n
364
\n00:20:23,900 –> 00:20:27,500
\nHe says, they’ll all follow away
\nregardless of who chooses and <\/p>\n
365
\n00:20:27,500 –> 00:20:30,500
\nwho chooses not to follow?
\nJesus, Peter is resolved. <\/p>\n
366
\n00:20:30,500 –> 00:20:33,100
\nHe would still follow and it
\nraises a question for us. <\/p>\n
367
\n00:20:34,400 –> 00:20:37,000
\nIf everyone else left, would we
\nstay? <\/p>\n
368
\n00:20:38,700 –> 00:20:42,800
\nIf our family chose to leave the
\ntruth, what do we still remain <\/p>\n
369
\n00:20:43,600 –> 00:20:44,900
\nher?
\nFriends left the truth. <\/p>\n
370
\n00:20:45,500 –> 00:20:47,900
\nWould we as well?
\nWhat about our children? <\/p>\n
371
\n00:20:48,300 –> 00:20:51,600
\nOur spouse.
\nOur closest friends are if our <\/p>\n
372
\n00:20:51,600 –> 00:20:55,100
\ncommitment to God is first and
\nthat commitment should remain <\/p>\n
373
\n00:20:55,100 –> 00:20:58,000
\nregardless of the decision of
\nthose around us. <\/p>\n
374
\n00:20:58,000 –> 00:21:02,400
\nAnd so you see, Peters adherence
\nto Jesus as an admirable quality<\/p>\n
375
\n00:21:03,200 –> 00:21:06,300
\nand in Jesus responds to Peter
\nnote that Peters commitment <\/p>\n
376
\n00:21:06,300 –> 00:21:09,300
\nisn’t criticized, Peter wasn’t
\nWrong for expressing his <\/p>\n
377
\n00:21:09,300 –> 00:21:13,400
\nloyalty, nevertheless.
\nJesus gives Peter his third and <\/p>\n
378
\n00:21:13,400 –> 00:21:15,900
\nfinal warning about what was
\ngoing to happen. <\/p>\n
379
\n00:21:17,000 –> 00:21:20,600
\nBut he was Peter still missed
\nthe warning that Jesus was given<\/p>\n
380
\n00:21:20,800 –> 00:21:24,900
\ngiving to him and as will now
\nsee Peters commitment of, never <\/p>\n
381
\n00:21:24,900 –> 00:21:28,200
\nwanting to leave Jesus aside and
\neven being willing to die for <\/p>\n
382
\n00:21:28,200 –> 00:21:30,800
\nJesus that commitment.
\nWasn’t even going to last <\/p>\n
383
\n00:21:30,800 –> 00:21:34,300
\nanother two hours because before
\nthe morning broke Not only would<\/p>\n
384
\n00:21:34,300 –> 00:21:37,500
\nPeter show himself unwilling to
\ndie for Jesus, but he wasn’t <\/p>\n
385
\n00:21:37,500 –> 00:21:40,100
\neven willing to admit that he
\never met Jesus. <\/p>\n
386
\n00:21:40,900 –> 00:21:44,000
\nAnd then this failing that we’re
\nabout to read about Peter is a <\/p>\n
387
\n00:21:44,000 –> 00:21:46,600
\nportrait of each one of us.
\nWe all face. <\/p>\n
388
\n00:21:46,800 –> 00:21:49,300
\nJames challenge, we all know the
\nright standards. <\/p>\n
389
\n00:21:49,300 –> 00:21:52,100
\nWe know what we should be doing.
\nWe make a commitment and the <\/p>\n
390
\n00:21:52,100 –> 00:21:55,100
\nmartyrs of baptism and each new
\nweek as We Gather here to <\/p>\n
391
\n00:21:55,100 –> 00:21:59,200
\nremember Jesus, but In the Heat
\nof the Moment will often forget <\/p>\n
392
\n00:21:59,200 –> 00:22:02,300
\nthose commitments or reject them
\nentirely Paul captures, the <\/p>\n
393
\n00:22:02,300 –> 00:22:05,700
\nsentiment really well in Romans,
\nchapter 7, right after the <\/p>\n
394
\n00:22:05,700 –> 00:22:08,900
\nbaptism chapter of Romans
\nchapter 6, which details the <\/p>\n
395
\n00:22:08,908 –> 00:22:11,400
\ncommitment that we make to put
\nthe flesh to death in. <\/p>\n
396
\n00:22:11,400 –> 00:22:15,000
\nRomans chapter 7, Paul talks
\nabout how we still struggle with<\/p>\n
397
\n00:22:15,000 –> 00:22:17,400
\nthe flesh.
\nAnyway, And doing the things <\/p>\n
398
\n00:22:17,400 –> 00:22:19,800
\nthat we know are against Christ
\nthat we don’t want to do. <\/p>\n
399
\n00:22:19,800 –> 00:22:22,900
\nBut yet there’s this law in our
\nmembers that wages war and we do<\/p>\n
400
\n00:22:22,900 –> 00:22:26,400
\nthem anyway.
\nWhy do we understand the right <\/p>\n
401
\n00:22:26,400 –> 00:22:28,000
\nthing to do on an intellectual
\nbasis? <\/p>\n
402
\n00:22:28,000 –> 00:22:30,300
\nAnd then so often forget to
\napply it. <\/p>\n
403
\n00:22:30,900 –> 00:22:34,100
\nPeter said, though, all shall be
\noffended yet. <\/p>\n
404
\n00:22:34,100 –> 00:22:38,300
\nNot I and yet a few hours later
\nhe is swearing that he never <\/p>\n
405
\n00:22:38,300 –> 00:22:41,200
\nknew Jesus.
\nHow do we not do the same thing?<\/p>\n
406
\n00:22:41,600 –> 00:22:43,200
\nHow do we not just make
\ncommitments? <\/p>\n
407
\n00:22:43,200 –> 00:22:45,600
\nIt starts their their commitment
\nis good, but how do we take it <\/p>\n
408
\n00:22:45,600 –> 00:22:49,200
\nbeyond that level of It means
\nmake it stick and bring it to a <\/p>\n
409
\n00:22:49,200 –> 00:22:51,700
\nlevel of action.
\nWe might know how we should <\/p>\n
410
\n00:22:51,700 –> 00:22:54,800
\nbehave in the particulars, but
\nhow do we control ourselves to <\/p>\n
411
\n00:22:54,800 –> 00:22:57,800
\nmake that a reality?
\nIt’s easy to pay lip service to <\/p>\n
412
\n00:22:57,800 –> 00:23:01,800
\nthe principles of courage and
\nPurity and peace and tell you in<\/p>\n
413
\n00:23:01,800 –> 00:23:04,600
\na moment of danger Temptation or
\nanger. <\/p>\n
414
\n00:23:05,200 –> 00:23:07,000
\nSo let’s see.
\nNow as we move to the denial of <\/p>\n
415
\n00:23:07,000 –> 00:23:10,800
\nsequence, what we can learn from
\nPeters experience with this <\/p>\n
416
\n00:23:12,100 –> 00:23:15,600
\nthough, we’ll follow the account
\nthrough all four gospels. <\/p>\n
417
\n00:23:15,800 –> 00:23:20,500
\nPlease turn with Renee.
\nNow over to John chapter 18, for<\/p>\n
418
\n00:23:20,500 –> 00:23:22,900
\nthe sake of time, we’ve already
\npassed over the conversation <\/p>\n
419
\n00:23:22,900 –> 00:23:25,400
\nabout the two swords and now
\nwe’re going to pass over the <\/p>\n
420
\n00:23:25,400 –> 00:23:28,000
\nagony in the garden.
\nHow Peter was specially asked to<\/p>\n
421
\n00:23:28,008 –> 00:23:31,800
\nstay awake and then fell asleep.
\nThree times again, we’ll have to<\/p>\n
422
\n00:23:31,800 –> 00:23:34,800
\npass by Jesus, arrest and
\nPeter’s, lashing out and <\/p>\n
423
\n00:23:34,800 –> 00:23:37,900
\nviolence with the sword, though.
\nThat episodes going to come back<\/p>\n
424
\n00:23:37,900 –> 00:23:41,200
\nto haunt him in the denial,
\nsequence, this will bring us to <\/p>\n
425
\n00:23:41,200 –> 00:23:45,200
\nthe scene of the three denials
\nto the house of the high priest,<\/p>\n
426
\n00:23:45,800 –> 00:23:47,100
\nafter his arrest him.
\nGarden. <\/p>\n
427
\n00:23:47,300 –> 00:23:51,300
\nJesus was taken into the City
\nand to Anise the father-in-law <\/p>\n
428
\n00:23:51,300 –> 00:23:54,900
\nto the high priest Caiaphas
\nyou’ll see over in John chapter <\/p>\n
429
\n00:23:54,900 –> 00:23:57,900
\n18, verse 15.
\nIt notes that Peter, followed <\/p>\n
430
\n00:23:58,200 –> 00:24:01,000
\nPeter had momentarily fled in
\nthe garden with the others when <\/p>\n
431
\n00:24:01,000 –> 00:24:02,700
\nthey were dispersed, but he was
\nback. <\/p>\n
432
\n00:24:02,700 –> 00:24:06,000
\nNow, maybe thinking that he’s
\nstarting to make good on his <\/p>\n
433
\n00:24:06,000 –> 00:24:09,400
\npromise, so far to never leave
\nJesus and follow him wherever he<\/p>\n
434
\n00:24:09,400 –> 00:24:11,700
\ngoes.
\nBut notice the parallel accounts<\/p>\n
435
\n00:24:11,700 –> 00:24:13,700
\nI have up on the screen for
\nMatthew Mark. <\/p>\n
436
\n00:24:13,700 –> 00:24:17,600
\nAnd Luke, they though.
\nPeter is following Jesus, he’s <\/p>\n
437
\n00:24:17,600 –> 00:24:22,400
\nfollowing him afar off.
\nLet’s now take a look at where <\/p>\n
438
\n00:24:22,400 –> 00:24:24,800
\nthese annexed next events took
\nplace. <\/p>\n
439
\n00:24:25,400 –> 00:24:27,700
\nSo I will know that there are
\ntwo different ways of looking at<\/p>\n
440
\n00:24:27,700 –> 00:24:30,200
\nthe text here.
\nThe view I’m going to take, is <\/p>\n
441
\n00:24:30,200 –> 00:24:33,200
\nthat all three denials occurred?
\nAt the same location at the <\/p>\n
442
\n00:24:33,200 –> 00:24:36,600
\ncombined House of Anna’s and
\nCaiaphas the other view is that <\/p>\n
443
\n00:24:36,600 –> 00:24:40,100
\nthese residents were in two
\nseparate locations that Peters <\/p>\n
444
\n00:24:40,100 –> 00:24:41,700
\nfirst.
\nAnd I’ll took place in the house<\/p>\n
445
\n00:24:41,700 –> 00:24:45,000
\nof Anna’s in the last two
\ndenials have or the second or <\/p>\n
446
\n00:24:45,008 –> 00:24:48,100
\nthird denial happened.
\nIn a separate house belonging to<\/p>\n
447
\n00:24:48,100 –> 00:24:51,700
\nCaiaphas the reason I take the
\nfirst few that all three of <\/p>\n
448
\n00:24:51,700 –> 00:24:53,600
\nthese happened in the same
\nlocation. <\/p>\n
449
\n00:24:54,000 –> 00:24:56,900
\nIs the archaeological record
\nseems to support that I see in <\/p>\n
450
\n00:24:56,900 –> 00:25:00,300
\nthe 1970s, our brother lean, RIT
\nmy Iran, an archaeological <\/p>\n
451
\n00:25:00,300 –> 00:25:04,300
\narchitect, it’s oversaw the
\nReconstruction of What’s called <\/p>\n
452
\n00:25:04,300 –> 00:25:07,600
\nthe palatial Mansion, which is
\nbelieved to be where Anna’s the <\/p>\n
453
\n00:25:07,600 –> 00:25:10,600
\nhigh priest lived in.
\nThough he was no longer the high<\/p>\n
454
\n00:25:10,600 –> 00:25:14,200
\npriest himself during the time
\nof Jesus, he was still among the<\/p>\n
455
\n00:25:14,200 –> 00:25:16,500
\nmost powerful man in the city in
\nthe layout. <\/p>\n
456
\n00:25:16,600 –> 00:25:20,900
\nOut of his home, gives away how
\nmuch wealth and Prestige he <\/p>\n
457
\n00:25:20,900 –> 00:25:23,900
\nwould have commanded the
\nfootprint of this house was <\/p>\n
458
\n00:25:23,900 –> 00:25:27,900
\nabsolutely massive, some 6,500
\nsquare feet. <\/p>\n
459
\n00:25:28,100 –> 00:25:30,900
\nIt was about two stories high.
\nThe total square footage between<\/p>\n
460
\n00:25:30,900 –> 00:25:35,600
\nthe two stories would have been
\naround 13,000 square feet, to <\/p>\n
461
\n00:25:35,600 –> 00:25:38,300
\nput that in perspective, the
\naverage home in Israel around <\/p>\n
462
\n00:25:38,300 –> 00:25:40,600
\nthat time, based on kind of what
\nwe can piece together from the <\/p>\n
463
\n00:25:40,600 –> 00:25:45,800
\narchaeological record was around
\n600 square feet, it would be to <\/p>\n
464
\n00:25:45,800 –> 00:25:48,100
\nput it in perspective.
\nBasically moving from something.<\/p>\n
465
\n00:25:48,100 –> 00:25:53,300
\nThe size of a trailer to a 15
\nbedroom mansion the two key <\/p>\n
466
\n00:25:53,300 –> 00:25:56,100
\nfeatures of this palatial
\nMansion where Anna’s lived was a<\/p>\n
467
\n00:25:56,100 –> 00:25:59,800
\nlarge Courtyard.
\nThat was open to the air and a <\/p>\n
468
\n00:25:59,800 –> 00:26:03,800
\nlarge Meeting Hall, where their
\nSanhedrin could gather, the <\/p>\n
469
\n00:26:03,800 –> 00:26:06,700
\nlocate not only did the size of
\nthis building matter. <\/p>\n
470
\n00:26:06,700 –> 00:26:09,900
\nAnd on a side note, this was,
\nthis has been the largest single<\/p>\n
471
\n00:26:09,900 –> 00:26:12,500
\nstructure we’ve uncovered in
\nJerusalem, But Not only was the <\/p>\n
472
\n00:26:12,500 –> 00:26:15,800
\nsize a matter of prestige, but
\nits location was important. <\/p>\n
473
\n00:26:15,800 –> 00:26:18,800
\nIt was only a short Short walk
\nover there to the Temple Mount. <\/p>\n
474
\n00:26:18,800 –> 00:26:21,800
\nSo the priest could directly
\nleave the house without going <\/p>\n
475
\n00:26:21,800 –> 00:26:25,200
\ndown to the Central Valley could
\nwalk right across to the temple.<\/p>\n
476
\n00:26:25,200 –> 00:26:29,100
\nComplex the house contained,
\nmultiple baths for ritual <\/p>\n
477
\n00:26:29,100 –> 00:26:32,700
\nwashing it had different houses
\nor different rooms for the <\/p>\n
478
\n00:26:32,708 –> 00:26:36,000
\npriests a reception hall into
\nwhich Jesus was brought in <\/p>\n
479
\n00:26:36,000 –> 00:26:39,100
\nadjacent Courtyard where Peter
\nwould have stood warming himself<\/p>\n
480
\n00:26:39,100 –> 00:26:42,600
\nby the fire and this would have
\nnot just been the home for anise<\/p>\n
481
\n00:26:42,600 –> 00:26:45,700
\nbut also for Caiaphas and it had
\nit was big enough to host the <\/p>\n
482
\n00:26:45,700 –> 00:26:48,600
\nentire sin.
\nRead the fact that Peter <\/p>\n
483
\n00:26:48,600 –> 00:26:51,300
\nfollowed Jesus and now that he
\ngained entrance into the <\/p>\n
484
\n00:26:51,300 –> 00:26:54,600
\ncourtyard, was a testament to
\nPeter’s loyalty. <\/p>\n
485
\n00:26:55,300 –> 00:26:58,900
\nAnd this was especially a bold
\nmove by Peter, considering he <\/p>\n
486
\n00:26:58,900 –> 00:27:02,700
\nhad just cut off the ear of one
\nof the residents of that house. <\/p>\n
487
\n00:27:03,000 –> 00:27:06,600
\nMalka see the high priests
\nservant or representative about <\/p>\n
488
\n00:27:06,600 –> 00:27:09,200
\n30 minutes before this, this
\nhouse is only about a mile or <\/p>\n
489
\n00:27:09,200 –> 00:27:11,600
\ntwo from where Jesus was
\narrested in the garden. <\/p>\n
490
\n00:27:11,800 –> 00:27:14,700
\nWouldn’t have taken that long to
\nget there so that memory was <\/p>\n
491
\n00:27:14,700 –> 00:27:19,100
\nstill fresh in everyone’s mind.
\nAnd in your booklet, if you want<\/p>\n
492
\n00:27:19,100 –> 00:27:22,100
\nto follow along, you can see a
\nHarmony of the denial sequence <\/p>\n
493
\n00:27:22,100 –> 00:27:27,400
\nwill look at on page number 14.
\nLooks a little bit like this, so<\/p>\n
494
\n00:27:27,400 –> 00:27:29,700
\nI’ll go through it.
\nBriefly kind of the 15 touch <\/p>\n
495
\n00:27:29,700 –> 00:27:31,500
\npoints.
\nWe have between the four gospels<\/p>\n
496
\n00:27:31,700 –> 00:27:34,800
\nand then we’ll dive into each of
\nthe denials in particular. <\/p>\n
497
\n00:27:35,200 –> 00:27:39,000
\nSo after John gets access to the
\nhouse, he allows he gets the <\/p>\n
498
\n00:27:39,000 –> 00:27:43,400
\nmade to allow Peter and as well.
\nPeter then sits by the fire. <\/p>\n
499
\n00:27:43,900 –> 00:27:48,200
\nAnd then we have the first two
\nnow, I know him not Peter after <\/p>\n
500
\n00:27:48,200 –> 00:27:50,700
\nthat, goes out to the porch,
\njust outside the other <\/p>\n
501
\n00:27:50,700 –> 00:27:52,800
\nCourtyard.
\nAnd then after a little while, <\/p>\n
502
\n00:27:52,800 –> 00:27:56,100
\nreturns back to the fire, in the
\nmeantime, the maid is speaking <\/p>\n
503
\n00:27:56,100 –> 00:27:59,900
\nto others and now that Peters
\nback by the fire, we have the <\/p>\n
504
\n00:28:00,000 –> 00:28:04,200
\nsecond denial, I do not know the
\nman in a rooster crows. <\/p>\n
505
\n00:28:04,200 –> 00:28:09,000
\nThe first time an hour passes, a
\nrelative of Malcolm joins, kind <\/p>\n
506
\n00:28:09,000 –> 00:28:12,900
\nof changes the equation a little
\nbit and a larger crowd begins to<\/p>\n
507
\n00:28:12,900 –> 00:28:16,900
\ngather around the fire
\nbystanders join and then we Of <\/p>\n
508
\n00:28:16,900 –> 00:28:18,800
\nthe third.
\nTo now with Peter cursing and <\/p>\n
509
\n00:28:18,800 –> 00:28:21,600
\nswearing an oath.
\nNow, I know not this man of whom<\/p>\n
510
\n00:28:21,600 –> 00:28:24,600
\nyou speak.
\nA rooster crows again. <\/p>\n
511
\n00:28:25,600 –> 00:28:29,500
\nJesus looks to the crowd at
\nPeter and Peter remembers. <\/p>\n
512
\n00:28:30,700 –> 00:28:33,200
\nSo as we walk through these
\nevents, you can line them up <\/p>\n
513
\n00:28:33,200 –> 00:28:36,900
\nwith likely where they occurred
\nin that, palatial mansion. <\/p>\n
514
\n00:28:36,900 –> 00:28:39,800
\nAnd as we get to the end of this
\nsequence, you’ll see why the <\/p>\n
515
\n00:28:39,800 –> 00:28:42,700
\nlocation of these things brings
\nanother significant element to <\/p>\n
516
\n00:28:42,700 –> 00:28:45,600
\nthe account.
\nSo let’s now turn to our opening<\/p>\n
517
\n00:28:45,600 –> 00:28:49,200
\nreading of Mark, chapter 14 and
\nverse 66. <\/p>\n
518
\n00:28:49,800 –> 00:28:54,000
\nMark includes this interesting
\nlittle note that he was beneath <\/p>\n
519
\n00:28:54,400 –> 00:28:57,900
\nin the Normally either beneath
\nsomething or in something, you <\/p>\n
520
\n00:28:57,900 –> 00:29:01,000
\ndon’t often see that you’re both
\nbut it’s little details like <\/p>\n
521
\n00:29:01,000 –> 00:29:03,200
\nthat that helps with paint the
\npicture and helps kind of give <\/p>\n
522
\n00:29:03,200 –> 00:29:05,500
\nthis reality to the text.
\nThe courtyard. <\/p>\n
523
\n00:29:05,500 –> 00:29:08,500
\nWas in fact slightly recessed,
\nit was a few steps down from the<\/p>\n
524
\n00:29:08,508 –> 00:29:11,300
\nreception hall where the trial
\ntook place, but that courtyard <\/p>\n
525
\n00:29:11,300 –> 00:29:13,700
\nwas still in the palace.
\nSo yes, it was both beneath a <\/p>\n
526
\n00:29:13,700 –> 00:29:17,900
\nfew step down from the main area
\nand still in the palace recessed<\/p>\n
527
\n00:29:17,900 –> 00:29:21,000
\nby only a step or two.
\nSo the events in that main hall <\/p>\n
528
\n00:29:21,100 –> 00:29:24,900
\nwould still certainly be Audible
\nand maybe even visible to those <\/p>\n
529
\n00:29:24,900 –> 00:29:28,900
\nwho stood with Out Matthew
\nchapter 26 and verse 69, <\/p>\n
530
\n00:29:28,900 –> 00:29:32,300
\nlikewise notes that he sat
\nwithout, but was still in the <\/p>\n
531
\n00:29:32,300 –> 00:29:35,500
\npalace, meaning that he was
\ninside the complex, but in an <\/p>\n
532
\n00:29:35,500 –> 00:29:38,700
\nopen area, such as a courtyard,
\nmodern translations, make it a <\/p>\n
533
\n00:29:38,708 –> 00:29:40,700
\nlittle bit easier for us to
\npiece This Together by just <\/p>\n
534
\n00:29:40,700 –> 00:29:45,200
\nusing the term Courtyard, Luke
\nknows that he was by the fire. <\/p>\n
535
\n00:29:45,400 –> 00:29:48,400
\nThis detail helps us Place.
\nActually, we’re in the <\/p>\n
536
\n00:29:48,400 –> 00:29:51,000
\ncourtyard, Peter was standing
\nbecause you see when brother <\/p>\n
537
\n00:29:51,000 –> 00:29:54,000
\nLing Whitmire did some of these
\nexcavations, you could still see<\/p>\n
538
\n00:29:54,000 –> 00:29:58,300
\nThe Scorch marks on the tile of
\nwhere fires were built in that <\/p>\n
539
\n00:29:58,300 –> 00:30:00,600
\nin that courtyard to provide
\nlight and warmth. <\/p>\n
540
\n00:30:01,200 –> 00:30:04,400
\nOne of those fires was near the
\ndoor of where the courtyard <\/p>\n
541
\n00:30:04,400 –> 00:30:07,900
\njoined, that Great Hall, where
\nJesus would have been in from <\/p>\n
542
\n00:30:07,900 –> 00:30:10,600
\nthis location.
\nPeter could not only here, but <\/p>\n
543
\n00:30:10,600 –> 00:30:14,000
\nalso possibly have that line of
\nsight into what was happening <\/p>\n
544
\n00:30:14,000 –> 00:30:18,500
\ninside the physical arrangement
\nhere is significant, and as you <\/p>\n
545
\n00:30:18,500 –> 00:30:21,800
\ncan see, from the layout with
\nthe courtyard was close enough <\/p>\n
546
\n00:30:21,800 –> 00:30:25,000
\nto the main hall, that people
\ncould be aware of what was going<\/p>\n
547
\n00:30:25,000 –> 00:30:26,900
\nin and out.
\nLarger chamber where Jesus was, <\/p>\n
548
\n00:30:26,900 –> 00:30:30,500
\nthat’s why people were gathering
\ntheir, thus, all the while Peter<\/p>\n
549
\n00:30:30,500 –> 00:30:33,300
\nstood with out in the courtyard,
\nhe was close enough to hear what<\/p>\n
550
\n00:30:33,300 –> 00:30:36,400
\nwas going on.
\nAnd so here is Peter by the fire<\/p>\n
551
\n00:30:36,800 –> 00:30:40,000
\nand the servant girl of the high
\npriest, the same girl who had <\/p>\n
552
\n00:30:40,000 –> 00:30:43,400
\nlet him in approaches him.
\nPerhaps it’s a question that had<\/p>\n
553
\n00:30:43,400 –> 00:30:46,300
\nbeen nagging her in her mind
\nsince she had opened the door to<\/p>\n
554
\n00:30:46,300 –> 00:30:47,800
\nlet him in.
\nAnd now that Peter was by the <\/p>\n
555
\n00:30:47,800 –> 00:30:49,700
\nfire.
\nShe could get a closer look at <\/p>\n
556
\n00:30:49,700 –> 00:30:52,900
\nhis face.
\nPerhaps she had seen Peter in <\/p>\n
557
\n00:30:52,900 –> 00:30:55,300
\nthe around the temple area that
\nweek, they had been there. <\/p>\n
558
\n00:30:55,400 –> 00:30:59,300
\nFor six days already.
\nJesus and his disciples were had<\/p>\n
559
\n00:30:59,300 –> 00:31:02,400
\nbeen in the area quite a bit.
\nThere’s no reason to think at <\/p>\n
560
\n00:31:02,400 –> 00:31:05,300
\nthis point that her question,
\nshe asked here in verse 17 was <\/p>\n
561
\n00:31:05,300 –> 00:31:08,500
\nentangled Mystic, for example.
\nLook at the context. <\/p>\n
562
\n00:31:08,500 –> 00:31:11,900
\nLook back, a few verses in John
\nback to verse 16, the main knew <\/p>\n
563
\n00:31:11,900 –> 00:31:14,900
\nthat John was one of Jesus
\ndisciples and no harm had come <\/p>\n
564
\n00:31:14,900 –> 00:31:16,800
\nto John.
\nLook at the word. <\/p>\n
565
\n00:31:16,800 –> 00:31:22,000
\nAlso in verse 17, was she not
\nsimply wondering if Peter also <\/p>\n
566
\n00:31:22,000 –> 00:31:24,700
\nlike John was one of these
\nadventurers from the area of <\/p>\n
567
\n00:31:24,700 –> 00:31:27,000
\nGalilee.
\nBut Peter wasn’t ready to be <\/p>\n
568
\n00:31:27,000 –> 00:31:30,100
\nacknowledged.
\nHe was still in stealth mode, he<\/p>\n
569
\n00:31:30,100 –> 00:31:34,300
\nhad followed Jesus to the high
\npriest home but had done so far <\/p>\n
570
\n00:31:34,300 –> 00:31:38,100
\noff at a distance, not wanting
\nto get too close to be noticed. <\/p>\n
571
\n00:31:38,300 –> 00:31:41,500
\nAnd now that he had gained
\nentrance, he wanted to remain <\/p>\n
572
\n00:31:41,600 –> 00:31:45,200
\nanonymous observing what was
\ngoing on but this girl is <\/p>\n
573
\n00:31:45,200 –> 00:31:48,900
\nquestions, risk blowing his
\ncover Peter had no doubt chosen <\/p>\n
574
\n00:31:49,100 –> 00:31:51,200
\nchosen this spot by the fire
\nstrategically. <\/p>\n
575
\n00:31:51,200 –> 00:31:53,500
\nSo he could be aware of what was
\ngoing on in the main room but he<\/p>\n
576
\n00:31:53,500 –> 00:31:55,100
\ndidn’t want to be the center of
\nattention. <\/p>\n
577
\n00:31:55,800 –> 00:31:59,100
\nSo, there we have Peters, first
\ndenial, as it’s recorded in <\/p>\n
578
\n00:31:59,100 –> 00:32:02,100
\nJohn.
\nI am not and that must have <\/p>\n
579
\n00:32:02,100 –> 00:32:04,900
\ntaken her back.
\nMoving over to Luke, we read <\/p>\n
580
\n00:32:04,900 –> 00:32:06,300
\nthat.
\nShe looked upon Him intently <\/p>\n
581
\n00:32:06,400 –> 00:32:09,500
\nrather than a question in Luke.
\nShe forms a statement. <\/p>\n
582
\n00:32:09,800 –> 00:32:13,300
\nThis man was also with him.
\nShe almost Whispers to himself <\/p>\n
583
\n00:32:13,800 –> 00:32:16,500
\nMatthew and Mark also record
\nthat she said to him. <\/p>\n
584
\n00:32:16,800 –> 00:32:21,700
\nThou was also with Jesus of
\nGalilee or or and Mark Jesus of <\/p>\n
585
\n00:32:21,700 –> 00:32:24,600
\nNazareth, Peter.
\nNow loud enough to be heard by <\/p>\n
586
\n00:32:24,600 –> 00:32:26,900
\nothers around the fire said, Ed,
\nI do not know him. <\/p>\n
587
\n00:32:26,900 –> 00:32:29,400
\nIt says in Luke, I don’t know
\nwhat you’re saying, it says in <\/p>\n
588
\n00:32:29,408 –> 00:32:31,700
\nMatthew, I don’t understand what
\nyou’re saying. <\/p>\n
589
\n00:32:31,900 –> 00:32:36,500
\nIt says in Mark, and in this, we
\ncan see an image of house in <\/p>\n
590
\n00:32:36,500 –> 00:32:38,600
\nWorks.
\nIn each, one of us, it’s a <\/p>\n
591
\n00:32:38,608 –> 00:32:41,000
\nprogression, it’s Progressive,
\nit starts with something, <\/p>\n
592
\n00:32:41,000 –> 00:32:44,700
\nseemingly small, but there’s a
\nslippery slope that starts to <\/p>\n
593
\n00:32:44,700 –> 00:32:48,300
\ndescend down in his first and
\nI’ll peers statement was simple.<\/p>\n
594
\n00:32:48,600 –> 00:32:52,100
\nI have not, and it quickly grew
\ninto more forceful, absolute <\/p>\n
595
\n00:32:52,100 –> 00:32:53,600
\nstatements.
\nAs we see recorded in the <\/p>\n
596
\n00:32:53,600 –> 00:32:55,600
\nparallel gospels, we’re going to
\nsee this. <\/p>\n
597
\n00:32:55,800 –> 00:32:58,400
\nChattering continue over the
\nnext few verses and we don’t <\/p>\n
598
\n00:32:58,400 –> 00:33:01,400
\nhave time now to consider it,
\nbut John in particular is <\/p>\n
599
\n00:33:01,400 –> 00:33:04,700
\nstarting to draw a number of
\nparallels at this point between <\/p>\n
600
\n00:33:04,700 –> 00:33:09,800
\nPeter and Judas from how he is
\nstanding with others by the fire<\/p>\n
601
\n00:33:10,000 –> 00:33:12,600
\nto some of his own word choice
\nused to describe Peter. <\/p>\n
602
\n00:33:12,600 –> 00:33:16,400
\nWe see Peter starting down a
\nsimilar dark path. <\/p>\n
603
\n00:33:17,200 –> 00:33:20,000
\nMark notes in verse 68 that he
\ndidn’t wait for another <\/p>\n
604
\n00:33:20,000 –> 00:33:23,300
\nstatement from the girl.
\nHe moved away out into the porch<\/p>\n
605
\n00:33:23,300 –> 00:33:25,300
\naway from the Revealing Light of
\nthe fire. <\/p>\n
606
\n00:33:25,300 –> 00:33:26,800
\nAnd Slipping away into the
\ndarkness. <\/p>\n
607
\n00:33:26,800 –> 00:33:29,700
\nAlmost as Judas went out into
\nthe darkness of the night after <\/p>\n
608
\n00:33:29,700 –> 00:33:34,200
\nthe last supper and as he did,
\nthe rooster crow echoed through <\/p>\n
609
\n00:33:34,200 –> 00:33:35,900
\nthe night.
\nAt this point, it’s likely <\/p>\n
610
\n00:33:35,900 –> 00:33:38,700
\naround midnight.
\nJesus said before the cock Crow <\/p>\n
611
\n00:33:38,700 –> 00:33:43,100
\ntwice, you will deny me Thrice.
\nAnd with that first rooster crow<\/p>\n
612
\n00:33:43,100 –> 00:33:46,000
\nPeter was given a warning sign
\nto turn back. <\/p>\n
613
\n00:33:46,700 –> 00:33:50,100
\nAnd so to it’s often with us as
\nwe head down the wrong road, <\/p>\n
614
\n00:33:50,200 –> 00:33:52,700
\nthere will be warning signs to
\nindicate that we should take <\/p>\n
615
\n00:33:52,700 –> 00:33:56,400
\nnotice and turn back.
\nAt this point, Peter did not <\/p>\n
616
\n00:33:56,900 –> 00:34:00,100
\nPeter’s now outside on the porch
\nwhere things were just starting.<\/p>\n
617
\n00:34:00,100 –> 00:34:02,800
\nWhile things were just starting
\nto get underway in the Great <\/p>\n
618
\n00:34:02,800 –> 00:34:06,400
\nHall the Sanhedrin while Jesus
\nor Peters out in the port is <\/p>\n
619
\n00:34:06,400 –> 00:34:10,199
\ntrying to do three things to
\nseek testimony from Jesus to put<\/p>\n
620
\n00:34:10,199 –> 00:34:14,500
\nhim to death, John 18:19
\nrecords, the strategy of the <\/p>\n
621
\n00:34:14,500 –> 00:34:17,199
\nSanhedrin and questioning Jesus.
\nFirst, they were questioning <\/p>\n
622
\n00:34:17,199 –> 00:34:20,100
\nJesus about his disciples, we’re
\nnot told specifically what <\/p>\n
623
\n00:34:20,100 –> 00:34:23,000
\nquestions were being asked, but
\ncould it be that that <\/p>\n
624
\n00:34:23,000 –> 00:34:24,800
\nconversation happened in that
\nGreat Hall? <\/p>\n
625
\n00:34:25,000 –> 00:34:28,199
\nIs what sparked individuals in
\nthat courtyard to ask Peter. <\/p>\n
626
\n00:34:28,199 –> 00:34:30,600
\nThey overheard that the Great
\nHall are asking Jesus about his <\/p>\n
627
\n00:34:30,600 –> 00:34:32,500
\ndisciples, the people in the
\ncourtyard. <\/p>\n
628
\n00:34:32,600 –> 00:34:34,300
\nListen, and hear that
\nconversation. <\/p>\n
629
\n00:34:34,300 –> 00:34:36,500
\nLook at Peter’s, like, wait a
\nsecond, aren’t you one of them <\/p>\n
630
\n00:34:36,900 –> 00:34:39,300
\nsecond over in John, chapter 18,
\nverse 19. <\/p>\n
631
\n00:34:39,699 –> 00:34:43,600
\nThey are asking Jesus about his
\nteaching, they had, many false <\/p>\n
632
\n00:34:43,600 –> 00:34:46,100
\nWitnesses come forward.
\nAnd give testimony about his <\/p>\n
633
\n00:34:46,100 –> 00:34:48,800
\nteaching that either Twisted,
\nthe words of Jesus or <\/p>\n
634
\n00:34:48,800 –> 00:34:53,300
\nmisrepresented them and evidence
\nto find evidence in an effort to<\/p>\n
635
\n00:34:53,300 –> 00:34:56,699
\nfind evidence of blasphemy.
\nThe third over in Matthew in <\/p>\n
636
\n00:34:56,699 –> 00:35:00,200
\nmarks account, we see that they
\nwere also trying to get Jesus to<\/p>\n
637
\n00:35:00,200 –> 00:35:04,200
\nidentify himself as Christ, the
\nson of God, a confession that <\/p>\n
638
\n00:35:04,200 –> 00:35:07,600
\nPeter himself and the other
\ndisciples had made earlier, but <\/p>\n
639
\n00:35:07,600 –> 00:35:11,200
\nhe was not now willing to repeat
\nin the presence of those <\/p>\n
640
\n00:35:11,200 –> 00:35:14,200
\nWitnesses.
\nBut Peter now being out on the <\/p>\n
641
\n00:35:14,200 –> 00:35:15,900
\nporch, it was missing all of
\nthis. <\/p>\n
642
\n00:35:16,500 –> 00:35:18,400
\nPeter wanted to go back down to
\nthe fire. <\/p>\n
643
\n00:35:18,600 –> 00:35:20,900
\nSo he wasn’t going to miss
\nanymore. <\/p>\n
644
\n00:35:21,400 –> 00:35:23,900
\nIt’s at this point that there is
\na difference in interpretations <\/p>\n
645
\n00:35:23,900 –> 00:35:25,900
\nof how to read this.
\nOne view. <\/p>\n
646
\n00:35:25,900 –> 00:35:28,900
\nIs that the scene shifted to a
\nknow, a new home over to <\/p>\n
647
\n00:35:28,900 –> 00:35:32,000
\nCaiaphas the high priest where
\nthe final two denials would have<\/p>\n
648
\n00:35:32,000 –> 00:35:33,900
\ntaken place.
\nThe other view is the one I’ll <\/p>\n
649
\n00:35:33,900 –> 00:35:36,200
\ncontinue with here that the
\npalatial Mansion was, the <\/p>\n
650
\n00:35:36,200 –> 00:35:39,700
\nresidence of both individuals.
\nAnd as and Caiaphas and that the<\/p>\n
651
\n00:35:39,700 –> 00:35:42,200
\nnarrative continues in this one
\nlocation. <\/p>\n
652
\n00:35:43,000 –> 00:35:45,700
\nAnd so, like, a moth drawn back
\nto the flame. <\/p>\n
653
\n00:35:45,900 –> 00:35:49,100
\nPeter moves back down from the
\nporch and side to the Courtyard <\/p>\n
654
\n00:35:49,100 –> 00:35:52,100
\naround that fire where he had
\npreviously warmed himself. <\/p>\n
655
\n00:35:52,600 –> 00:35:55,400
\nBut while Jesus Is trial, was
\ntaking place in Side, the Great <\/p>\n
656
\n00:35:55,400 –> 00:35:58,600
\nHall Peters trial would continue
\nas well. <\/p>\n
657
\n00:35:59,500 –> 00:36:03,500
\nMatthew chapter 26, and verse 71
\nnotes that the questions about <\/p>\n
658
\n00:36:03,500 –> 00:36:06,200
\nPeter didn’t stop when he
\nremoved himself from the fire <\/p>\n
659
\n00:36:06,200 –> 00:36:08,500
\nout to the porch.
\nAnother made caught a glimpse of<\/p>\n
660
\n00:36:08,500 –> 00:36:10,800
\nhim out there in commented to
\nthe others at the fire. <\/p>\n
661
\n00:36:11,000 –> 00:36:14,400
\nThis fellow was also with Jesus
\nof Nazareth, Mark. <\/p>\n
662
\n00:36:14,400 –> 00:36:17,800
\nChapter 14 verse 69 picks up
\nnow, the door girl, who asked <\/p>\n
663
\n00:36:17,800 –> 00:36:21,800
\nthe first question reasserts her
\nstatement, this is one of them. <\/p>\n
664
\n00:36:22,200 –> 00:36:25,100
\nThus, when Peter returns and
\nstands around the fire of Holes <\/p>\n
665
\n00:36:25,100 –> 00:36:28,200
\nand John 18 verse 18, the others
\naround the fire. <\/p>\n
666
\n00:36:28,200 –> 00:36:32,000
\nAsk the question, based on the
\nmaids assertions art thou not <\/p>\n
667
\n00:36:32,000 –> 00:36:34,900
\none of his disciples, Peter
\nresponds. <\/p>\n
668
\n00:36:35,300 –> 00:36:38,400
\nI am not.
\nHe had a second chance with the <\/p>\n
669
\n00:36:38,400 –> 00:36:41,300
\nexact same question.
\nThat the door girl had asked <\/p>\n
670
\n00:36:41,300 –> 00:36:44,500
\npreviously, and he makes the
\nexact same mistake. <\/p>\n
671
\n00:36:44,900 –> 00:36:49,800
\nAnd again, just like before
\nPeter’s fast, dismissal raises <\/p>\n
672
\n00:36:49,800 –> 00:36:53,500
\nthe suspicions of the others.
\nAnd Luke chapter 22 and verse <\/p>\n
673
\n00:36:53,500 –> 00:36:55,700
\n58.
\nAnother Leans forward and makes <\/p>\n
674
\n00:36:55,700 –> 00:36:58,400
\na statement just like the goal
\nof the, the door girl did <\/p>\n
675
\n00:36:58,400 –> 00:37:02,000
\noriginally, Thou Art.
\nAlso one of them Peter’s reply <\/p>\n
676
\n00:37:02,000 –> 00:37:06,300
\nas harsh, man, I am not Peter
\nnow goes further than he did <\/p>\n
677
\n00:37:06,300 –> 00:37:10,200
\nbefore in Matthew chapter 26.
\nVerse 72 he confirmed his denial<\/p>\n
678
\n00:37:10,200 –> 00:37:12,200
\nwith an oath.
\nI do not know the man. <\/p>\n
679
\n00:37:12,500 –> 00:37:15,400
\nMark implies in verse 70 that
\nthere was much more to this <\/p>\n
680
\n00:37:15,400 –> 00:37:20,100
\nstatement as well that we’re not
\nthat’s not recorded here verse <\/p>\n
681
\n00:37:20,100 –> 00:37:21,800
\n7.
\nHe could read that Peter denied <\/p>\n
682
\n00:37:21,800 –> 00:37:25,900
\nit again and again and again the
\nword there’s Continuous sense, <\/p>\n
683
\n00:37:26,200 –> 00:37:30,700
\nonly hours before he had
\nproclaimed, his undying loyalty <\/p>\n
684
\n00:37:30,700 –> 00:37:34,600
\nto Jesus and now it was not even
\nwilling to be remotely <\/p>\n
685
\n00:37:34,600 –> 00:37:37,800
\nassociated with his Lord.
\nAnd the question for us is, can <\/p>\n
686
\n00:37:37,800 –> 00:37:40,700
\nwe sometimes be the same each
\nSunday morning? <\/p>\n
687
\n00:37:40,700 –> 00:37:43,800
\nEach start of each new week?
\nWe come here to associate <\/p>\n
688
\n00:37:43,800 –> 00:37:46,700
\nourselves with Jesus to identify
\nourselves with Jesus and his <\/p>\n
689
\n00:37:46,700 –> 00:37:49,300
\nresurrection.
\nWe look at his examples and make<\/p>\n
690
\n00:37:49,300 –> 00:37:52,200
\na commitment to have the same
\nlevel of faith. <\/p>\n
691
\n00:37:52,600 –> 00:37:55,600
\nWe make a commitment to take up
\nour cross and to Follow him. <\/p>\n
692
\n00:37:56,000 –> 00:37:59,800
\nBut do we then turn around the
\nnext day in live, in such a way <\/p>\n
693
\n00:37:59,800 –> 00:38:03,200
\nthat shows we are ashamed of
\nbeing associated with Jesus. <\/p>\n
694
\n00:38:03,400 –> 00:38:06,800
\nThere’s social pressure in the
\nway we appear before others <\/p>\n
695
\n00:38:06,900 –> 00:38:08,900
\ncause us to shrink away from
\nthat. <\/p>\n
696
\n00:38:08,900 –> 00:38:12,400
\nCommitment to Christ, Peter’s
\nstatements seem to have shocked <\/p>\n
697
\n00:38:12,400 –> 00:38:15,200
\nthose around him.
\nLuke notes that there was about <\/p>\n
698
\n00:38:15,200 –> 00:38:17,300
\nan hour gap between the second
\nand third denials. <\/p>\n
699
\n00:38:17,300 –> 00:38:20,900
\nWe see that over in Luke chapter
\n22, verse 59, during which the <\/p>\n
700
\n00:38:20,900 –> 00:38:24,300
\ntrial of Jesus continuing on in
\nPeters now in a position to hear<\/p>\n
701
\n00:38:24,300 –> 00:38:26,700
\nwhat’s happening.
\nThat must have been what kept <\/p>\n
702
\n00:38:26,700 –> 00:38:30,300
\nPeter there and perhaps how
\nPeter Justified his denials to <\/p>\n
703
\n00:38:30,300 –> 00:38:31,900
\nhimself.
\nI’m just saying this little <\/p>\n
704
\n00:38:32,200 –> 00:38:34,900
\nmaking these statements.
\nSo I continued, I can continue <\/p>\n
705
\n00:38:34,900 –> 00:38:38,400
\nto be near my Lord at least
\nphysically, and that brings us <\/p>\n
706
\n00:38:38,400 –> 00:38:41,500
\nto the third denial.
\nAt this point, you get a sense <\/p>\n
707
\n00:38:41,500 –> 00:38:44,000
\nthat Peters confidence might
\nhave been growing. <\/p>\n
708
\n00:38:44,300 –> 00:38:46,900
\nHe is there by the fire for
\nabout an hour now, with no more <\/p>\n
709
\n00:38:46,900 –> 00:38:49,200
\nmishaps.
\nI mean, yes, he denied knowing <\/p>\n
710
\n00:38:49,200 –> 00:38:52,900
\nJesus, but at least he is
\nphysically in proximity to Jesus<\/p>\n
711
\n00:38:52,900 –> 00:38:55,700
\nin the next Hall over, and yes,
\nHad lied twice about his <\/p>\n
712
\n00:38:55,700 –> 00:38:58,900
\nassociations but he wasn’t going
\nto do it anymore and at least he<\/p>\n
713
\n00:38:58,900 –> 00:39:01,500
\nwasn’t in the shadows anymore,
\nback in the dark on the porch <\/p>\n
714
\n00:39:02,300 –> 00:39:06,800
\nand then the tables shift,
\nsomeone new comes into the scene<\/p>\n
715
\n00:39:06,800 –> 00:39:10,000
\nin the anti, goes up over in
\nJohn chapter 18, verse 26. <\/p>\n
716
\n00:39:10,000 –> 00:39:13,900
\nWe read one of the Servants of
\nthe high priest being Kinsman. <\/p>\n
717
\n00:39:15,000 –> 00:39:17,300
\nBeing his Kinsmen, whose ear.
\nPeter cut off. <\/p>\n
718
\n00:39:17,300 –> 00:39:20,000
\nSaith, did not.
\nI see the in the garden with <\/p>\n
719
\n00:39:20,000 –> 00:39:21,600
\nhim.
\nNo doubt. <\/p>\n
720
\n00:39:21,700 –> 00:39:24,600
\nThis man also explained exactly
\nwhat Peter might have. <\/p>\n
721
\n00:39:24,800 –> 00:39:28,800
\nAnd in that Garden what he did
\nto Marcus and how Peter was the <\/p>\n
722
\n00:39:28,800 –> 00:39:32,500
\nman that lunged forward and
\nchopped off his ear, even though<\/p>\n
723
\n00:39:32,500 –> 00:39:34,700
\nPeter had boasted that, he would
\nbe willing to go to prison and <\/p>\n
724
\n00:39:34,700 –> 00:39:38,000
\nto death for Jesus.
\nWhen faced with a real prospect,<\/p>\n
725
\n00:39:38,000 –> 00:39:40,900
\nthat that supporting Jesus at
\nthis moment. <\/p>\n
726
\n00:39:40,900 –> 00:39:44,300
\nMay elicit some Vengeance.
\nPeter does not go through with <\/p>\n
727
\n00:39:44,300 –> 00:39:46,200
\nhis previously proclaimed
\nloyalty. <\/p>\n
728
\n00:39:46,900 –> 00:39:51,200
\nThis was the spark that ignited,
\nthe flame of Peters fear after <\/p>\n
729
\n00:39:51,200 –> 00:39:54,000
\nthe statement by malkos
\nrelatives others started to join<\/p>\n
730
\n00:39:54,000 –> 00:39:56,700
\nin.
\nAnd Matthew we read they that <\/p>\n
731
\n00:39:56,700 –> 00:39:59,800
\nstood by said to Peter.
\nSurely Thou Art one of them for <\/p>\n
732
\n00:39:59,800 –> 00:40:03,000
\nthy speech betrayeth thee.
\nIt was a Galilean dialect. <\/p>\n
733
\n00:40:03,000 –> 00:40:05,400
\nThat was the giveaway notes Mark
\nand Luke. <\/p>\n
734
\n00:40:05,400 –> 00:40:08,800
\nThey are insistent of a truth.
\nThis man was also with them for <\/p>\n
735
\n00:40:08,800 –> 00:40:12,800
\nhe is a Galilean sin as we said
\nbefore is Progressive what? <\/p>\n
736
\n00:40:12,800 –> 00:40:16,600
\nOften starts out.
\nSmall grows and we see the same <\/p>\n
737
\n00:40:16,600 –> 00:40:21,200
\nhere with Peters denial.
\nHis reaction here is Extreme in <\/p>\n
738
\n00:40:21,207 –> 00:40:24,600
\nMatthew 2674.
\nIt says Peter began to curse. <\/p>\n
739
\n00:40:24,700 –> 00:40:27,900
\nTo swear in such a way designed
\nto completely disassociate <\/p>\n
740
\n00:40:27,900 –> 00:40:30,300
\nhimself with the Lord.
\nThe idea of a curse in this <\/p>\n
741
\n00:40:30,300 –> 00:40:34,700
\ncontext isn’t what we think of
\ntoday as a profane words, but <\/p>\n
742
\n00:40:34,700 –> 00:40:36,300
\nmore.
\nSo it’s proclaiming that. <\/p>\n
743
\n00:40:36,300 –> 00:40:39,500
\nIf I lie in this thing may this
\nhorrible outcome come upon me <\/p>\n
744
\n00:40:39,700 –> 00:40:42,300
\nsuch as let me be cut off from
\nthe land of the living. <\/p>\n
745
\n00:40:42,400 –> 00:40:47,000
\nIf I lie and telling you this, I
\ndon’t know the man and as Peter <\/p>\n
746
\n00:40:47,000 –> 00:40:51,100
\nswore that he didn’t know Jesus,
\nthe air was rent by that second,<\/p>\n
747
\n00:40:51,100 –> 00:40:54,900
\nrooster crow, Luke notes that
\nthe rooster called while He was <\/p>\n
748
\n00:40:54,900 –> 00:40:57,900
\nyet speaking catching him in his
\nspeech, if you happen to have a <\/p>\n
749
\n00:40:57,900 –> 00:41:01,300
\nDye go out on you, it suggests
\nthat the cock crowing in this <\/p>\n
750
\n00:41:01,300 –> 00:41:03,300
\ninstance wasn’t actually a
\nliteral rooster. <\/p>\n
751
\n00:41:03,300 –> 00:41:05,700
\nBut instead, it was the the
\ntrumpet sounding of the changing<\/p>\n
752
\n00:41:05,700 –> 00:41:07,900
\nof the Roman guard.
\nThe last two shifts were <\/p>\n
753
\n00:41:07,900 –> 00:41:09,800
\napparently called the cock
\ncrows. <\/p>\n
754
\n00:41:10,200 –> 00:41:13,400
\nThis sequence does seem to line
\nup with the timings given to us <\/p>\n
755
\n00:41:13,400 –> 00:41:16,300
\nand Luke and Mark, and would
\ngive us a sense of a timeline of<\/p>\n
756
\n00:41:16,300 –> 00:41:19,900
\nthe first denial around.
\nMidnight the just before the <\/p>\n
757
\n00:41:19,900 –> 00:41:21,800
\nThird Watch, started, the third
\ndenial. <\/p>\n
758
\n00:41:21,800 –> 00:41:24,500
\nThen would have happened at the
\nend of the Third Watch. <\/p>\n
759
\n00:41:24,700 –> 00:41:27,500
\nWhich would have been around
\n3:00 a.m. and the second denial,<\/p>\n
760
\n00:41:27,500 –> 00:41:30,600
\nsomewhere in between the two,
\nthe rooster or the trumpet. <\/p>\n
761
\n00:41:30,600 –> 00:41:34,300
\nWhichever one, it was pierce the
\nnight and that is what stopped <\/p>\n
762
\n00:41:34,300 –> 00:41:37,200
\nPeters mouth.
\nAnd something else happened that<\/p>\n
763
\n00:41:37,200 –> 00:41:40,600
\nmoment as well.
\nLuke records, what happened at <\/p>\n
764
\n00:41:40,600 –> 00:41:45,700
\nthat same moment, the Lord
\nturned and looked at Peter, it’s<\/p>\n
765
\n00:41:45,700 –> 00:41:49,300
\nthat same word for look, that
\nwas used back in John chapter 1,<\/p>\n
766
\n00:41:49,300 –> 00:41:53,000
\nverse 42, during their first
\nmeeting together based on the <\/p>\n
767
\n00:41:53,008 –> 00:41:54,800
\ncontext.
\nIt means not just just the <\/p>\n
768
\n00:41:54,808 –> 00:41:57,700
\nphysical act of looking, but a
\ndeep penetrating. <\/p>\n
769
\n00:41:57,700 –> 00:42:01,200
\nLook to perceive what’s really
\ngoing on the physical location <\/p>\n
770
\n00:42:01,200 –> 00:42:02,800
\nagain.
\nHere is significant, the amazing<\/p>\n
771
\n00:42:02,800 –> 00:42:05,000
\nthing about the palatial Mansion
\nuncovered in Jerusalem. <\/p>\n
772
\n00:42:05,000 –> 00:42:07,900
\nIs there is a line of sight
\nbetween where Peter was standing<\/p>\n
773
\n00:42:07,900 –> 00:42:10,500
\nin the courtyard, based on The
\nScorch marks on the earth and <\/p>\n
774
\n00:42:10,500 –> 00:42:15,400
\nwhere Jesus would have stand
\nstood in that, Great Hall there.<\/p>\n
775
\n00:42:15,400 –> 00:42:20,200
\nJesus physically, looks at Peter
\nwith that, penetrating gaze one.<\/p>\n
776
\n00:42:20,200 –> 00:42:24,500
\nThat was also full of love and
\nhope even as he looked upon him.<\/p>\n
777
\n00:42:24,700 –> 00:42:28,400
\nSome three and a half years
\nearlier by the Jordan River that<\/p>\n
778
\n00:42:28,400 –> 00:42:32,300
\nencourages Peter to finally look
\nat himself and he remembers <\/p>\n
779
\n00:42:33,000 –> 00:42:36,000
\nJesus face would have been
\nbattered at this point as it <\/p>\n
780
\n00:42:36,008 –> 00:42:40,500
\nsays, oh, when Isaiah chapter 50
\n2 and verse 14, Peter would have<\/p>\n
781
\n00:42:40,500 –> 00:42:42,000
\nrealized that.
\nHe was also fulfilling a <\/p>\n
782
\n00:42:42,000 –> 00:42:45,300
\nprophecy of his own that he was
\nbeing one of Jesus’s, close <\/p>\n
783
\n00:42:45,300 –> 00:42:49,900
\nneighbors that was rejecting
\nhim, Psalm 31 verse 11, Peter <\/p>\n
784
\n00:42:49,900 –> 00:42:53,900
\nremembers Jesus is warning now
\nbut it’s too late, but in the <\/p>\n
785
\n00:42:53,900 –> 00:42:57,500
\nfuture he would continually call
\nthis lesson to mind throughout <\/p>\n
786
\n00:42:57,500 –> 00:42:59,700
\nhis Epistles.
\nOne of the major themes that we <\/p>\n
787
\n00:42:59,700 –> 00:43:03,400
\nsee Peter returned to is that of
\nremembrance Peter may have <\/p>\n
788
\n00:43:03,400 –> 00:43:09,100
\nremembered the words of Jesus
\nover in Luke chapter 12 verse 8,<\/p>\n
789
\n00:43:09,100 –> 00:43:13,500
\nand 9, I say unto you whosoever
\nshall confess me before men <\/p>\n
790
\n00:43:13,500 –> 00:43:16,200
\nshall the son of man.
\nAlso confessed before the angels<\/p>\n
791
\n00:43:16,200 –> 00:43:18,400
\nof God.
\nBut he that denieth me before, <\/p>\n
792
\n00:43:18,400 –> 00:43:21,400
\nmen shall also be denied before
\nthe angels of God. <\/p>\n
793
\n00:43:22,600 –> 00:43:27,300
\nThe scene here ends, rather
\nDarkly Peter Runs Out weeping <\/p>\n
794
\n00:43:27,300 –> 00:43:29,100
\nbitterly.
\nIt says, or more literally <\/p>\n
795
\n00:43:29,100 –> 00:43:31,900
\nweeping violently.
\nHe stumbles through the streets <\/p>\n
796
\n00:43:31,900 –> 00:43:34,900
\nof Jerusalem as he runs until he
\ncomes to the place where Jesus <\/p>\n
797
\n00:43:34,900 –> 00:43:36,700
\nwas crucified.
\nWe see that note over enough <\/p>\n
798
\n00:43:36,700 –> 00:43:41,000
\nfirst Peter. 5:1, it seems he no
\nlonger considers himself worthy <\/p>\n
799
\n00:43:41,000 –> 00:43:44,300
\nof even being called a disciple.
\nAs he completely followed, not <\/p>\n
800
\n00:43:44,300 –> 00:43:46,600
\nonly to now because he
\ncompletely failed, not only to <\/p>\n
801
\n00:43:46,600 –> 00:43:50,500
\nfollow Jesus, but even to
\nacknowledge Him at this point in<\/p>\n
802
\n00:43:50,500 –> 00:43:52,200
\nthe narrative, if the gospel
\nrecord stopped. <\/p>\n
803
\n00:43:52,800 –> 00:43:55,600
\nThere wouldn’t be much
\ndifference between Peter and <\/p>\n
804
\n00:43:55,600 –> 00:44:00,100
\nJudas both enemies.
\nStood with the enemies are both <\/p>\n
805
\n00:44:00,100 –> 00:44:01,800
\nmen.
\nStood with the enemies of Jesus,<\/p>\n
806
\n00:44:02,800 –> 00:44:06,000
\nboth denied their lord in word
\nor In Deed. <\/p>\n
807
\n00:44:06,600 –> 00:44:10,000
\nBoth failed to follow him.
\nWhen it mattered the most both <\/p>\n
808
\n00:44:10,000 –> 00:44:14,300
\nwent out into the darkness and
\nfinally became convicted of the <\/p>\n
809
\n00:44:14,300 –> 00:44:19,100
\ngravity of their sins and fled
\nBut there’s a difference. <\/p>\n
810
\n00:44:20,200 –> 00:44:22,900
\nThe different seems to be in
\nthat Peter knew that in spite of<\/p>\n
811
\n00:44:22,908 –> 00:44:26,800
\nhis sin, the Lord was full of
\nlove and mercy. <\/p>\n
812
\n00:44:27,400 –> 00:44:31,300
\nWell, Judas despaired and took
\nhis own life, Peter held onto, <\/p>\n
813
\n00:44:31,300 –> 00:44:35,200
\nhope, Judas, figured that he
\nbetrayed the Lord denying him, <\/p>\n
814
\n00:44:35,200 –> 00:44:37,300
\nindeed, and Inward.
\nAnd surely this would mean that <\/p>\n
815
\n00:44:37,300 –> 00:44:41,700
\nthere was no hope that.
\nAs it says in Luke 12 verse 9, <\/p>\n
816
\n00:44:41,700 –> 00:44:44,300
\nthat he would be denied before
\nthe angels of God. <\/p>\n
817
\n00:44:44,800 –> 00:44:47,500
\nBut Peter may have remembered
\nthe next thing that Jesus said, <\/p>\n
818
\n00:44:47,500 –> 00:44:50,500
\nand one of Peter’s most
\nredeeming qualities as he held <\/p>\n
819
\n00:44:50,500 –> 00:44:53,700
\non to the word of the Lord.
\nJudas may have stopped at that, <\/p>\n
820
\n00:44:54,000 –> 00:44:57,700
\nthat quote from Jesus denied
\nbefore the angels of God. <\/p>\n
821
\n00:44:58,000 –> 00:45:01,200
\nBut in Luke 12 verse 10, Jesus,
\ncontinued and said, whosoever <\/p>\n
822
\n00:45:01,200 –> 00:45:06,200
\nshall speak a word against the.
\nSon, of man shall shall be <\/p>\n
823
\n00:45:06,200 –> 00:45:09,100
\nforgiven him.
\nPeter ever. <\/p>\n
824
\n00:45:09,100 –> 00:45:12,600
\nRemembering the word of the Lord
\nremembered that, his Lord was <\/p>\n
825
\n00:45:12,600 –> 00:45:16,100
\nmerciful the difference between
\nPeter and Judas wasn’t the <\/p>\n
826
\n00:45:16,100 –> 00:45:20,600
\ndegree of their sin.
\nAs much as it was their degree <\/p>\n
827
\n00:45:20,700 –> 00:45:24,900
\nof belief in the mercy of the
\nLord and that belief would not <\/p>\n
828
\n00:45:24,900 –> 00:45:27,400
\nbe disappointed after three
\ndays. <\/p>\n
829
\n00:45:27,700 –> 00:45:30,800
\nJesus had these gracious words
\nfor Peter, when he appeared to <\/p>\n
830
\n00:45:30,800 –> 00:45:34,300
\nthe women returning from the
\ntomb, go tell my disciples. <\/p>\n
831
\n00:45:34,600 –> 00:45:39,000
\nAnd Peter also, the disciple who
\nhad wandered the farthest away <\/p>\n
832
\n00:45:39,300 –> 00:45:41,800
\nwas called the loudest to come
\nback. <\/p>\n
833
\n00:45:42,200 –> 00:45:46,000
\nThere were still yet a role for
\nPeter and God’s plan. <\/p>\n
834
\n00:45:47,000 –> 00:45:49,100
\nSo what can we learn from this?
\nWhere did Peter go wrong? <\/p>\n
835
\n00:45:49,100 –> 00:45:51,800
\nWell, first, he overestimated
\nhimself, he didn’t recognize his<\/p>\n
836
\n00:45:51,800 –> 00:45:55,000
\nown weakness, you didn’t heed
\nthe warning that Jesus gave him,<\/p>\n
837
\n00:45:55,100 –> 00:45:56,700
\nand there’s a warning there for
\nus as well. <\/p>\n
838
\n00:45:56,700 –> 00:45:59,800
\nWe need to be careful, not to
\noverestimate ourselves and we <\/p>\n
839
\n00:45:59,800 –> 00:46:02,500
\nare weekly given a tool to
\nremember that as we will soon. <\/p>\n
840
\n00:46:02,500 –> 00:46:05,900
\nRemember in the memorials, one
\nof the, easiest ways to <\/p>\n
841
\n00:46:05,900 –> 00:46:10,600
\noverestimate ourselves is to
\ncompare ourselves to others and <\/p>\n
842
\n00:46:10,600 –> 00:46:13,500
\nwe’re called each week, not to
\nexamine ourselves against our <\/p>\n
843
\n00:46:13,500 –> 00:46:15,200
\nBrethren.
\nBut against the example of the <\/p>\n
844
\n00:46:15,200 –> 00:46:19,100
\nLord Jesus Christ, Her learned
\nthat lesson. <\/p>\n
845
\n00:46:19,100 –> 00:46:21,500
\nAnd as we’ve seen in our studies
\nthis weekend, he became an <\/p>\n
846
\n00:46:21,500 –> 00:46:24,600
\namazing example of humility
\ngoing forward, and he spoke of <\/p>\n
847
\n00:46:24,600 –> 00:46:28,700
\nthe need to Humble ourselves and
\nbe clothed in humility, so that <\/p>\n
848
\n00:46:28,700 –> 00:46:31,600
\nGod Can Lift us up.
\nPeter also failed to remove <\/p>\n
849
\n00:46:31,600 –> 00:46:34,700
\nhimself from Temptations path or
\nheed the warning signs that were<\/p>\n
850
\n00:46:34,700 –> 00:46:38,200
\nalong the way unlike Jesus.
\nWho said, get thee behind me. <\/p>\n
851
\n00:46:38,200 –> 00:46:41,700
\nSatan back in Matthew 16 and
\nmove, so that Satan was <\/p>\n
852
\n00:46:41,700 –> 00:46:44,900
\nphysically behind him.
\nPeter lingered, and lingered and<\/p>\n
853
\n00:46:44,900 –> 00:46:47,700
\nlingered some more around the
\ncoals of the fire until he was <\/p>\n
854
\n00:46:47,700 –> 00:46:49,500
\ngrown.
\nJulie worn down. <\/p>\n
855
\n00:46:49,800 –> 00:46:52,700
\nThere’s a lesson for that in us
\nas well to heed the call of the <\/p>\n
856
\n00:46:52,700 –> 00:46:55,700
\nrooster and remove ourselves
\nfrom Temptations pass. <\/p>\n
857
\n00:46:56,300 –> 00:46:59,900
\nBut there’s also a lesson here
\nof mercy and of Grace and of <\/p>\n
858
\n00:46:59,900 –> 00:47:04,700
\nHope a lesson that no matter how
\nmuch we have failed, how far we <\/p>\n
859
\n00:47:04,700 –> 00:47:08,100
\nhave fallen, we have a Lord that
\nis looking for us to come back. <\/p>\n
860
\n00:47:08,100 –> 00:47:10,400
\nThat is reaching out and calling
\nus the loudest. <\/p>\n
861
\n00:47:10,400 –> 00:47:13,200
\nWhen we are the furthest away to
\ncome out of the darkness and <\/p>\n
862
\n00:47:13,200 –> 00:47:16,300
\ninto that Marvelous Light, we
\nhave a Lord that is gracious. <\/p>\n
863
\n00:47:16,600 –> 00:47:20,600
\nFull of tender Mercy And though,
\nwe may reject him will call us <\/p>\n
864
\n00:47:20,600 –> 00:47:22,900
\nback to come and follow him all
\nthe same.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
