A Prophecy of Esau and Jacob

John 19

¹ Then Pilate therefore took Jesus and scourged Him.

² And the soldiers plaited a crown of thorns and put it on His head, and they put on Him a purple robe

³ and said, “Hail, King of the Jews!” And they smote Him with their hands.

⁴ Pilate therefore went forth again and said unto them, “Behold, I bring him forth to you, that ye may know that I find no fault in him.”

⁵ Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. And Pilate said unto them, “Behold the man!”

“Crucify him! Crucify him!” — 13th Nisan, Tuesday, (12 NOON) — 6th hour

⁶ When therefore the chief priests and the officers saw Him, they cried out, saying, “Crucify him! Crucify him!” Pilate said unto them, “Ye take him and crucify him, for I find no fault in him.”

⁷ The Jews answered him, “We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.”

⁸ When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he was the more afraid.

⁹ And he went again into the judgment hall and said unto Jesus, “From whence art thou?” But Jesus gave him no answer.

¹⁰ Then said Pilate unto Him, “Speakest thou not unto me? Knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and have power to release thee?”

¹¹ Jesus answered, “Thou couldest have no power at all against Me, unless it were given thee from above. Therefore he that delivered Me unto thee hath the greater sin.”

¹² And from thenceforth Pilate sought to release Him, but the Jews cried out, saying, “If thou let this man go, thou art not Caesar’s friend. Whosoever maketh himself a king speaketh against Caesar.”

¹³ When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he brought Jesus forth and sat down in the judgment seat in a place that is called the Pavement, but in Hebrew, Gabbatha.

“Behold your king!” the sixth hour — 13th Nisan, Tuesday, (12 NOON) — 6th hour

¹⁴ And it was the Preparation of the Passover and about the sixth hour, and Pilate said unto the Jews, “Behold your king!”

— this sixth hour would be the same sixth hour where Jesus talked with the Samaritan woman at the well, established to be at NOON, when Jesus was wearied and needed a drink (John 4:6). To think that John suddenly popped up Roman time to suit a belief is just trying to be fanciful.

¹⁵ But they cried out, “Away with him, away with him! Crucify him!” Pilate said unto them, “Shall I crucify your king?” The chief priests answered, “We have no king but Caesar!”

¹⁶ Then he delivered Him therefore unto them to be crucified. And they took Jesus and led Him away.

Pilate’s Soldiers Tortued Him — 13th Nisan, Tuesday, (1:00 PM) — 7th hour

Matthew 27:27 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.

Simon bears the Cross — 14th Nisan, Wednesday, (6:00 AM) — 0 hour

Luke 23:26 [The next Day] And as they led Him away, they laid hold upon one Simon, a Cyrenian, coming out of the country, and on him they laid the cross, that he might bear it after Jesus.

²⁷ And there followed Him a great company of people, and of women who also bewailed and lamented Him.

²⁸ But Jesus, turning unto them, said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for Me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.

²⁹ For behold, the days are coming in which they shall say, ‘Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bore and the breasts which never gave suck.’

³⁰ Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, ‘Fall on us!’ and to the hills, ‘Cover us!’

³¹ For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry?”

Matthew 27:34 they gave Him vinegar to drink mingled with gall. And when He had tasted thereof, He would not drink.

John 19

²³ Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took His garments and made four parts, to every soldier a part, and also His coat. Now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout.

Mark 15:25 And it was the third hour (9 AM) when they crucified Him.

²⁴ They said therefore among themselves, “Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be,” that the Scripture might be fulfilled which saith, “They parted My raiment among them, and for My vesture did they cast lots.” These things therefore the soldiers did.

The Third hour — 14th Nisan, Wednesday (9:00 AM) — 3rd hour

²⁵ Now there stood by the cross of Jesus His mother and His mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.

²⁶ When Jesus therefore saw His mother and the disciple standing by whom He loved, He said unto His mother, “Woman, behold thy son!”

²⁷ Then said He to the disciple, “Behold thy mother!” And from that hour, that disciple took her unto his own home.

The Sixth hour — 14th Nisan, Wednesday (12 NOON) — 6th hour

Mark 15:33 And when the sixth hour (12 NOON) had come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour (3 PM).

Luke 23:44 And it was about the sixth hour (12 NOON), and there was a darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour (3 PM). 

John 19

³¹ The Jews therefore, because it was the Preparation, and so that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the Sabbath day (for that Sabbath day was a high day), besought Pilate that their legs might be broken and that they might be taken away.

Mark 15:34 And at the ninth hour (3 PM) Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?” which is, being interpreted, “My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken Me?”

Luke 23:45 And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst.

Matthew 27:51 And behold, the veil of the temple was rent in two from the top to the bottom, and the earth quaked and the rocks rent.

52 And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints who slept arose,

53 and came out of the graves after His resurrection, and went into the Holy City and appeared unto many.

54 Now when the centurion, and those who were with him watching Jesus, saw the earthquake and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, “Truly, this was the Son of God!”

The Ninth hour — 14th Nisan, Wednesday (3:00 PM) — 9th hour

³² Then came the soldiers and broke the legs of the first and of the other who was crucified with Him.

³³ But when they came to Jesus and saw that He was dead already, they broke not His legs,

³⁴ but one of the soldiers with a spear pierced His side, and forthwith there came out blood and water.

³⁵ And he that saw it bore record, and his record is true, and he knoweth that he saith truly, that ye might believe.

³⁶ For these things were done, that the Scripture should be fulfilled: “A bone of Him shall not be broken.”

³⁷ And again another Scripture saith, “They shall look on Him whom they pierced.”

Matthew 27:55 And many women were there beholding afar off, who followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto Him,

⁵⁶ among whom were Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of Zebedee’s children.

John 19

³⁸ And after this, Joseph of Arimathea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus; and Pilate gave him leave. He came therefore and took the body of Jesus.

The Eleventh hour — 14th Nisan, Wednesday (5:00 PM) — 11th hour

³⁹ And there came also Nicodemus, who at first came to Jesus by night, and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds in weight.

⁴⁰ Then took they the body of Jesus and wound it in linen cloths with the spices, as is the manner of the Jews for burial.

⁴¹ Now in the place where He was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a new sepulcher wherein was never man yet laid.

⁴² There they laid Jesus therefore because of the Jews’ Preparation Day, for the sepulcher was nigh at hand.

Matthew 27:60 and laid it in his own new tomb, which he [Joseph of Arimathea] had hewn out in the rock. And he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulcher and departed.

⁶¹ And Mary Magdalene was there, and the other Mary, sitting opposite the sepulcher.
