A Prophecy of Esau and Jacob

Matthew 26

Judas’s betrayal — 13th Nisan, Tuesday Early Morning (2:00 AM)

⁴⁵ Then came He to His disciples and said unto them, “Sleep on now, and take your rest. Behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.

⁴⁶ Rise, let us be going. Behold, he is at hand that doth betray Me.”

John 18

¹ When Jesus had spoken these words, He went forth with His disciples over the Brook Kidron, where was a garden into which He entered with His disciples.

Judas Iscariot

² And Judas also, who betrayed Him, knew the place, for Jesus oftentimes resorted thither with His disciples.

³ Judas then, having received a band of men and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, came thither with lanterns and torches and weapons.

⁴ Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon Him, went forth and said unto them, “Whom seek ye?”

⁵ They answered Him, “Jesus of Nazareth.” Jesus said unto them, “I am He.” And Judas also, who betrayed Him, stood with them.

⁶ As soon then as He had said unto them, “I am He,” they went backward and fell to the ground.

⁷ Then asked He them again, “Whom seek ye?” And they said, “Jesus of Nazareth.”

⁸ Jesus answered, “I have told you that I am He. If therefore ye seek Me, let these go their way,”

⁹ that the saying might be fulfilled which He spoke, “Of those that Thou gavest Me, have I lost none.”

Simon used a Sword — 13th Nisan, Tuesday Early Morning (2:30 AM)

¹⁰ Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it and smote the high priest’s servant and cut off his right ear. The servant’s name was Malchus.

¹¹ Then said Jesus unto Peter, “Put up thy sword into the sheath. The cup which My Father hath given Me, shall I not drink it?”

¹² Then the band and the captain and officers of the Jews took Jesus and bound Him,

Annas first then Caiaphas — 13th Nisan, Tuesday Morning (4:00 AM)

¹³ and led Him away to Annas first, for he was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was the high priest that same year.

¹⁴ Now it was Caiaphas who gave counsel to the Jews that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.

¹⁵ And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple. That disciple was known unto the high priest, and went in with Jesus into the palace of the high priest.

¹⁶ But Peter stood at the door outside. Then the other disciple, who was known unto the high priest, went out and spoke unto her who kept the door, and brought in Peter.

¹⁷ Then the damsel who kept the door said unto Peter, “Art not thou also one of this man’s disciples?” He said, “I am not.”

¹⁸ And the servants and officers stood there, who had made a fire of coals, for it was cold and they warmed themselves. And Peter stood with them, and warmed himself.

¹⁹ The high priest then asked Jesus about His disciples and about His doctrine.

²⁰ Jesus answered him, “I spoke openly to the world; I ever taught in the synagogue and in the temple whither the Jews always resort, and in secret have I said nothing.

²¹ Why askest thou Me? Ask them that heard Me what I have said unto them. Behold, they know what I said.”

²² And when He had thus spoken, one of the officers who stood by struck Jesus with the palm of his hand, saying, “Answerest thou the high priest so?”

²³ Jesus answered him, “If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil; but if well, why smitest thou Me?”

²⁴ Now Annas had sent Him bound unto Caiaphas, the high priest.

Matthew 26:59 Now the chief priests and elders and all the council sought false witness against Jesus to put Him to death,

⁶⁰ but found none. Yea, though many false witnesses came, yet found they none. At the last came two false witnesses,

⁶¹ and said, “This fellow said, ‘I am able to destroy the temple of God and to build it in three days.’”

⁶² And the high priest arose and said unto Him, “Answerest thou nothing? What is it which these witnesses say against thee?”

⁶³ But Jesus held His peace. And the high priest answered and said unto Him, “I adjure thee by the living God that thou tell us whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God.”

⁶⁴ Jesus said unto him, “Thou hast said; nevertheless I say unto you, hereafter shall ye see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.”

⁶⁵ Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, “He hath spoken blasphemy! What further need have we of witnesses? Behold, now ye have heard his blasphemy!

⁶⁶ What think ye?” They answered and said, “He is deserving of death!”

⁶⁷ Then they spit in His face and buffeted Him, and others smote Him with the palms of their hands,

⁶⁸ saying, “Prophesy unto us, thou Christ! Who is he that smote thee?”

Peter denied Jesus three times — 13th Nisan, Tuesday Morning (5:00 AM)

⁶⁹ Now Peter sat outside in the palace, and a damsel came unto him, saying, “Thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee.”

⁷⁰ But he denied it before them all, saying, “I know not what thou sayest.”

⁷¹ And when he had gone out onto the porch, another maid saw him and said unto those who were there, “This fellow was also with Jesus of Nazareth.”

⁷² And again he denied with an oath, “I do not know the man!”

⁷³ And after a while came unto him those who stood by, and said to Peter, “Surely thou also art one of them, for thy speech betrayeth thee.”

⁷⁴ Then he began to curse and to swear, saying, “I know not the man!” And immediately the cock crowed.

⁷⁵ And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, when He said unto him, “Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny Me thrice.” And he went out and wept bitterly.

The Hall of Judgment, the Praetorium

Sanhedrin condemned Him — 13th Nisan, Tuesday, Dawn (6:00 AM)

Luke 22:66 And as soon as it was day, the elders of the people and the chief priests and the scribes came together, and led Him into their council, saying, — “it was day“ — “it was daybreak.“ Day and daybreak mean the time is at least 6 AM in today’s reckoning!

The Scripture here is screaming! “John 19:14 couldn’t be the same time as in Luke 22:66!” — THIS IS DAYBREAK! 6AM! DAWN! THE SIXTH HOUR IN JOHN 19:14 COULDN’T BE ROMAN TIME! “Jesus couldn’t be with the Sanhedrin here and inside the praetorium at the same time!” THIS IS DAYBREAK! THIS IS ALREADY 6AM!

⁶⁷ “Art thou the Christ? Tell us.” And He said unto them, “If I tell you, ye will not believe.

⁶⁸ And if I also ask you, ye will not answer Me nor let Me go.

⁶⁹ Hereafter shall the Son of Man sit on the right hand of the power of God.”

⁷⁰ Then said they all, “Art thou then the Son of God?” And He said unto them, “Ye say that I am.”

⁷¹ And they said, “What need we any further witness? For we ourselves have heard it from his own mouth.”

Luke 23:1 And the whole multitude of them arose and led Him unto Pilate.

² And they began to accuse Him, saying, “We found this fellow perverting the nation and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying that he himself is Christ, a king.”

³ And Pilate asked Him, saying, “Art thou the king of the Jews?” And He answered him and said, “Thou sayest it.”

⁴ Then said Pilate to the chief priests and the people, “I find no fault in this man.”

⁵ And they became the more fierce, saying, “He stirreth up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee to this place.”

⁶ When Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked whether the Man were a Galilean.

⁷ And as soon as he learned that He belonged unto Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent Him to Herod, who himself also was at Jerusalem at that time.

⁸ And when Herod saw Jesus he was exceedingly glad, for he had been desirous to see Him for a long time, because he had heard many things about Him, and he hoped to see some miracle done by Him.

⁹ Then he questioned Him with many words, but He answered him nothing.

¹⁰ And the chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently accused Him.

¹¹ And Herod, with his men of war, treated Him with contempt and mocked Him, and arrayed Him in a gorgeous robe and sent Him again to Pilate.

¹² And on the same day, Pilate and Herod were made friends together, for before that there was enmity between them.

¹³ And Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people,

¹⁴ said unto them, “Ye have brought this man unto me as one who perverteth the people. And behold, I, having examined him before you, have found no fault in this man concerning those things whereof ye accuse him.

¹⁵ No, nor yet Herod; for I sent you to him, and lo, nothing worthy of death is done unto him.

John 18

³¹ Then said Pilate unto them, “Take ye him and judge him according to your law.” The Jews therefore said unto him, “It is not lawful for us to put any man to death,”

³² that the saying which Jesus had spoken, signifying what death He should die, might be fulfilled.

³³ Then Pilate entered into the judgment hall again, and called Jesus and said unto Him, “Art thou the King of the Jews?”

³⁴ Jesus answered him, “Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or did others tell it thee of Me?”

³⁵ Pilate answered, “Am I a Jew? Thine own nation and the chief priests have delivered thee unto me. What hast thou done?”

³⁶ Jesus answered, “My Kingdom is not of this world. If My Kingdom were of this world, then would My servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews. But now is My Kingdom not from hence.”

³⁷ Pilate therefore said unto Him, “Art thou a king then?” Jesus answered, “Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth My voice.”

³⁸ Pilate said unto Him, “What is truth?” And when he said this, he went out again unto the Jews, and said unto them, “I find in him no fault at all.

³⁹ But ye have a custom that I should release unto you one at the Passover. Will ye therefore that I release unto you the King of the Jews?”

⁴⁰ Then cried they all again, saying, “Not this man, but Barabbas!” Now Barabbas was a robber.

Matthew 27

Barabbas or Jesus

¹⁷ Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, “Whom will ye that I release unto you: Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?”

¹⁸ For he knew that for envy they had delivered Him.

¹⁹ When he had sat down on the judgment seat, his wife sent unto him, saying, “Have thou nothing to do with that just man; for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him.”

²⁰ But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask for Barabbas and destroy Jesus.

²¹ The governor answered and said unto them, “Which of the two will ye that I release unto you?” They said, “Barabbas!”

²² Pilate said unto them, “What shall I do then with Jesus, who is called Christ?” They all said unto him, “Let him be crucified!”

²³ And the governor said, “Why, what evil hath he done?” But they cried out the more, saying, “Let him be crucified!”

²⁴ When Pilate saw that he could not prevail, but rather that a tumult was beginning, he took water and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, “I am innocent of the blood of this just person. See ye to it.”

²⁵ Then answered all the people and said, “His blood be on us, and on our children!”

²⁶ Then released he Barabbas unto them; and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered Him to be crucified.

Pilate released Him to be crucified — 13th Nisan, Tuesday, (12 NOON) — 6th hour

²⁷ Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall, and gathered unto Him the whole detachment of soldiers.

²⁸ And they stripped Him and put on Him a scarlet robe.

²⁹ And when they had plaited a crown of thorns, they put it upon His head and a reed in His right hand, and they bowed their knees before Him and mocked Him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!”

³⁰ And they spat upon Him, and took the reed and smote Him on the head.

³¹ And after they had mocked Him, they took the robe off from Him and put His own raiment on Him, and led Him away to crucify Him.
