Today’s Reading -


10/22/2019     Day 295 John 18:1 - 19:42


Reflection |
Today -
Chapter 18 - Jesus is arrested; interrogated by religious
Leaders; Sentenced to death by them; Peter denies knowing Jesus; Jesus before Pilate -My kingdom is not of this world. What is truth?; Barabbas was chosen by the Crowd.
Chapter 19 - Pilate orders Jesus to be whipped; His captives teased
Him; Crowd - Crucify him; Pilate hands him over to be killed;
Jesus is crucified at the Place of the Skull; He hands over care
of his mother to the beloved disciple; He dies; after being taken
down from the Cross, his body is claimed by Joseph of Arimathea;
and laid in a tomb.

More Gospel of John by Mark Powell
Because John is so different from the other gospel,
there is much debate among scholars about the how
of the writing of John.
Some say it was written between 90 - 140 c.e. Others
toward the end of the century of the 100s.
Some say it was written by John the Elder and others
say it was a document written by a community over a
period of time - 50 - 100 years.

The community of the beloved disciples seems to have
been followers of Jesus, separated from the world, and
looking continually to a Jesus of the cosmos that came
down from heaven and now rules the universe.
Clement of Alexander said that John wrote a spiritual
Gospel.
The gospel of John is different.  Look at how Jesus is
described differently from the other gospels.

Powell; HS)

God says …


Do not fear, for I am with you,
Do not be afraid, for I am your God;
I will strengthen you,
I will help you,
I will uphold you with my victorious right hand.
