Episode 255: 32AD Passion Week Tuesday: The Woes to the Scribes and Pharisees May 12, 2025

Show notes

After facing the Pharisees and their questions, Jesus pronounced the seven or eight woes of the Scribes and Pharisees. Greater will be the judgment of these scribes and pharisees for their condemnation of the only sinless man to walk planet earth. In this episode, we parallel these woes with other verses of judgment about judgment.

Show notes

A scribe asks Jesus what is the greatest commandment. In this episode, we dissect these passages from Matthew 22 and Mark 12 and compare it to Deuteronomy 6:5. Afterward, we will see what happens when Jesus is done with their questions; he asks them a question, a mystery pulled from Psalm 110. Who is talking in Psalm 110 when David writes "the Lord said to my Lord?"

According to Luke 20:20, the chief priests sent spies who pretended to righteous to Jesus to catch him at his words.

Episode 250: 32AD Passion Week Monday: The Parable of the Two Sons and the Parable of the Wicked Vinedressers Jan 28, 2025

Show notes

The religious leaders send spies among Jesus' followers to try to trick Jesus with complex questions. In this context and the turning of the tables, Jesus tells two parables about a vineyard and the wickedness of the religious leaders.
The parable of the two sons is about two sons. One is wicked, honest, and repentant and the other is religious, deceitful, and unrepentant. Which one did the will of the father?
The parable of the wicked vinedresser speaks to the love of the God, that would send prophet after prophet to Israel followed by his own son which would be rejected and killed. The parable was a condemnation of the religious leaders as much as it is a prophetic annotation of the days to come.

Monday: Cursing the Fig Tree, Cleansing the Temple
Jesus started the day cursing the fig tree which represents Israel and preceded to the Temple Mount. He stepped into the Court of the Gentiles and created a whip and drove out the money changers interrupting the Passover weekly procedures. The scribes and chief priests were so angry, they met to discuss how to destroy him.
