Discuss Matthew 26 Page 10

all of the disciples said the same, but Jesus' comments were directed to Peter. Why ??

The phrase “for the remission of sins” translates the Greek 'eis aphesin ton hamartion'. The preposition eis points to a goal that is as yet unreached. Never, in any reputable translation, is this expression rendered “because of the remission of sins.”

Compare, for instance, the use of the phrase in Matthew 26:28. In that text, Jesus declared: “For this is my blood of the covenant which is poured out for [eis] the remission of sins.”

Now here is an appropriate question: Does it matter whether or not one believes that the Lord shed his blood “to obtain” remission of sins, or if he died “because of” pardon already effected? Is what one believes regarding the efficacious nature of Christ’s death important?

How can one possibly hold the viewpoint that opposite constructions are equally valid? Such is a wholly illogical position. How can one conscientiously ignore inspired grammatical forms that were designed to convey precise religious ideas?

Unfortunately, this is the extreme to which some appear to be driven in their irresponsible attempts to extend Christian fellowship across the borders of modern denominationalism.

Underline the phrase “for the remission of sins” in Acts 2:38, and in your margin make this notation: See Matthew 26:28 — same purpose phrase

This verse shows how farJudas had strayed and allowed his heart to become hardened. He knew that he was planning to betray Jesus, but he acted as if he had no idea who Jesus was talking about.

when he was speaking to his disciplines .he was also speaking to us although he has done all he could we also forsake him,and am glad that died on the cross to set as free indeed.

This chapter also tells me how human love and trust is limited.

interesting

@Ock

These were all meant by Our Lord Jesus Christ in Matthew 26:27-28 and Mark 14:22-24 based on the meaning of the BREAD and BLOOD in John 6:35:
"TAKE" this "COMING TO ME AND YOU SHALL NEVER HUNGER"... "DRINK" this "BELIEVING ON ME AND YOU SHALL NEVER THIRST"... now, the breaking of bread and the drinking in a cup in Luke 22:19-20 are for "REMEMBRANCE" of those He said.

SINCE: ALL THOSE who "HEARD" (the teaching of the GOSPEL) and were "BAPTIZED" (in the NAME of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost) in "ALL NATIONS" are now "SCATTERED" all over the world, THEREFORE: the only way to determine IF THE SPIRIT of the PASTOR or TEACHER or MINISTER is OF GOD, He MUST be among those who "OBSERVE all things WHATSOEVER" that Jesus Commanded. IF HE PREACH AND BAPTIZE the SAME way as, THEN: HE IS AMONG THE "SENT" to "PREACH" the "GOSPEL of the KINGDOM of HEAVEN".......OTHERWISE: ANOTHER SPIRIT HAS SENT HIM TO PREACH ANOTHER KINGDOM as it is written in 1- John 4:1, "Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world".

@Rosalina

I assume you are referring to the Last Supper ? Lets read what those present had to say about what Jesus said at the Last Supper.....

Matthew 26:27-28 He said, "All of you drink of this; FOR THIS IS MY BLOOD OF THE NEW COVENANT, WHICH IS BEING SHED FOR MANY UNTO THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS."
Mark 14:22-24, "Take; THIS IS MY BODY", and "THIS IS MY BLOOD OF THE NEW COVENANT, WHICH IS BEING SHED FOR MANY."
Luke 22:19-20, "THIS IS MY BODY, WHICH IS BEING GIVEN FOR YOU; DO THIS IN REMEMBRANCE OF ME", and "THIS CUP IS THE NEW COVENANT IN MY BLOOD, WHICH SHALL BE SHED FOR YOU."
I agree with you Rosalina that the bread and wine are symbolic for you in that, your church and minister have no Apostalic Authority (alredy discussed )and cannot perform Consecration. So yes, for you it would only be a symbol.

I really love the little question.

In answer to Rosalina's Romans Chapter 3 comment on 9/14/2013, 11:52am...If we have faith in the blood of Jesus Christ--then we will BAPTIZED IN JESUS name. Then and only then can/will the blood be applied for the REMISSION OF SINS. Peter said on the day of Pentecost--BAPTISM WAS FOR THE remission of SINS.

Matthew 26:28 | Read whole chapter | See verse in context
For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.
Acts 2:38 | Read whole chapter | See verse in context
Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Just believing is no good--we must FOLLOW the INSTRUCTIONS found in the word of GOD>

It is not easy to hold on the faith if troubles and hardship knock at the door where Jesus once knocked. People must always pray to God to increase their faith. Amen!

Matthew (26:38-39) "Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me. And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup p*** from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt."
How many of my Brothers praying to god as Jesus (PBUH) showed. "fell on his face". and can anybody explain to me that how to pray by falling on face.

There is no mistranslation in the KJB...it has been perfectly and accurately perserved...
Because there are so many men in the Bible named Simon...This particular Simon was the the title of "the Leper" to distinguish him from the other Simons, and to remind us that he was healed in Mark 1:40 and is now able to fellowship and have people over at his house...he probabley moved from Galilee (if he was a resident there, or could have only visited to be healed) to Bethany

Looking for truths, What does Jesus the person we are to follow closely in footsteps have to say about it? ( John 14:28) “If YOU loved me, YOU would rejoice that I am going my way to the Father, because the Father is greater than I am.” It can’t be that they are equal with one saying the other is greater right? Matthew 26:39, “Going a little farther he [Jesus Christ] fell on his face and prayed, ‘My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as thou wilt.’” (If the Father and the Son were not distinct individuals, such a prayer would have been meaningless. Jesus would have been praying to himself, and his will would of necessity have been the Father’s will). John 8:17, 18, “[Jesus answered the Jewish Pharisees:] In your law it is written that the testimony of two men is true; I bear witness to myself, and the Father who sent me bears witness to me.” (So, Jesus definitely spoke of himself as being an individual separate and distinct from the Father). Looking for truths, God’s name and who He is is huge! Jesus our teacher knew this and gave ALL credit to his Father Jehovah. Through Jehovah ALL things are possible, without Him nothing is possible. The translators of the New Testament translated without any desire to add human doctrines. They only wanted the truth. And even if God’s name did get in His book more than in the original, what would be better, knowing His name or taking His name out and not knowing His name? I think it’s better to let the Bible translate the Bible. What does all of it say . . . Romans 10:13, For “everyone who calls on the name of Jehovah will be saved.”

"Ye know that after two days is the feast of the passover, and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified." Jesus is the Son of God. The Son of man is EVIL which will be crucified. The power of evil will be destroyed when Jesus, as a sacrifice for mans sin, briefly becomes Sin at the moments before his death as he shouts out, "My God, my God why hast thou forsaken me?" God did not forsake Jesus his son, he forsake Evil, the Son of man. Evil/Sin is crucified on the cross. The Son of man, evil, has no power over people that accept the sacrifice of Jesus who destroyed sin on the cross for all that love God and accept the Son of God, Jesus, as savior.

Correction on Passover feast at verse17, the blood of a lamb without spot- this represents a sinless sacrifice which of course was a pre-type of Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God which taketh away the sins of the world.

@Vailanka,
On verse 17- I do not see the connection with the last supper of Jesus Christ before his crucifixion and catechism;
1. The Passover feast is in remembrance of when the angel of death passed over any house with blood of a lamb spot on the door posts when God sent his angel to kill all the first born of the Egyptians;
2. Days of unleavened bread lasted 7 days and Jews were not allowed to eat anything that contained leaven (yeast) which represents sin in the bible;
3. The feast of first fruits at this time represents the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
4. The Jews recognize 7 different feasts.
5. Verse 17 is what we born again Christians commonly recognize as the last supper or the Lord’s Supper ( I Corinthians 11:23-30). Catechism is not something Christians usually participate in. Catechism is simply classes that a certain religious denomination offers their members which is a time of Questions and Answers, and preparing members of that religion to have a better understanding of that religion and how to perform certain functions within that religious denomination. Christians are encouraged to study the bible and take classes, but do not call it catechism.

Verse 39, to get the correct interpretation on this verse one must understand Matthew 27:46. Jesus has never been separated from God the father before, and Jesus knew that at the time of his crucifixion that God the father must not look upon sin and when all the sins of all men was placed on Jesus on the cross, first time ever that Jesus and God the father were separated by sin. This is why Jesus prayed in the garden that if it be possible let this cup pass from me.

DID THIS LADY UNDERSTAND SHE WAS PREPARING JESUS FOR HIS BURIAL?

MY SAVIOUR IS PRICELESS,WE CAN NEVER DO OR SAY OR EVEN GIVE ENOUGH. THIS LADY NEW AND WORSHIP JESUS AND PRAISE MY SAVIOUR WITH ALL SHE HAD.

give me some details about catechism

I should always work had in everything i do do to leave a Legacy Behind.
This also tells me that in my ministry i should work had that i leave a legacy that shall be remembered until i reach my Godly destiny.

It borders on blasphemy for some to suggest that Jesus in a moment of fear was reluctant to go to the cross and is prompted by that fear to ask his Father to let the cup of death pass from him.
His prayer in verse 39 had more to do with what was going on in Gethsemane than what was to happen at Calvary. In gethsemane Jesus was being crushed by all that Hell could throw at him, and in his humanity he might have thought that he might die there before he had a chance to get to Calvary so he cries out in his anxiety "Lord let this Cup pass from me" Fear is the fruit of sin, and Jesus was sinless, therefore fearless. what ever propted him to pray that prayer, it was not fear

My Jesus was a choir member and so i want to be.

This is a mistranslation. Lepers were not permitted to live in the city (see Leviticus 13:46). Since ancient Hebrew and Aramaic were written without vowels, there was no distinction between the Aramaic words GAR'BA (leper) and GARABA (jar maker or jar merchant). Since in this story a woman pours oil from a jar it is apparent that Simon was a jar merchant or jar maker and not a leper.

I LOVE IT PLEASE KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. 1GOD BLESS YOU 2GOD BLESS YOU 3GOD BLESS YOU 4GOD BLESS YOU5 GOD BLESS YOU 6 GOD BLESS YOU 7 GOD BLESS YOU 8 GOD BLESS YOU. NEW BEGENING (8)

how could god be on the earth and in heaven at the same time? who was Jesus praying to in the garden of gethsemane before the died? the verse is matthew 26:39. he said in that verse not my will but your will? who was he talking to himself? you need to learn grammer. Jesus did not pray to himself to ask for help. he prayed to god for help. he if he was god he never would have had to pray for help.why in john 14:28 did Jesus say the father is greater than i am if he is God? That would be like me saying my father is greater than i am but i am my father. who were the christians praying to if God was a man on earth. who were the christians worshiping in heaven if Jesus was on the earth? why would Jesus say to Worship God instead of saying worship me because I am god. get your grammer on.

Joe- Pity I don't need, answers I do need. I'd like to know what you mean by "going in every different direction" and "jumping from text to text". The chapters and verses I quoted, are fact. Or is it just mistakes written in the Bible. Whatever it is Joe, you have to admit it makes you wonder if the clear verses are condradictions or mistakes that man have written themselves. You yourself need to open your eyes. The writtings are so clear even an Intelligent child will pick it up. I do believe in our Almighty God, the creator of the universe, heavens and all thats in between. It is God and God alone we need to give thanks too and praise him each moment of everyday and night for the blessings he has bestowed on us, to prostate in prayer as he commanded Abraham, Moses and every prophet to do. Genesis 17:3 And Abram fell on his face: and God talked with him, saying," Exodus 34:8 And Moses made haste, and bowed his head toward the earth, and worshipped. Joshua 5:14 And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto him. Matthew 17:6 And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid. Matthew 26:39 And he (Jesus) went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed.
To give elms to the poor. Proverbs 28:27
He who gives to the poor will lack nothing, but he who closes his eyes to them receives many curses. Luke 14:12-14
Jesus advised hosts to invite the poor to their banquets because then God would bless them.
God is great

Like Peter in verse 75, do we weep when we know we have denied or disabied JESUS CHRIST? Like my pastor says "don't try to hang HIM back on the cross, HE did it once, HE want do it again"
