The F.O.G Message *
[1] The Festival of Unleavened Bread, also known as Passover, drew near—a sacred time when Jewish families remembered God's deliverance from Egypt.[27] In the world's eyes, who is greater—the one being served or the one serving? Isn't it the one being served? Yet I am among you as One who serves."[28] Jesus then encouraged their faithfulness: "You have stood by Me through all My trials.[29] And just as My Father has granted Me a Kingdom, I grant you a place in it.[30] You will eat and drink at My table in My Kingdom and sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel."[31] Then Jesus turned to Simon Peter with urgent concern: "Simon, Simon, listen! Satan has demanded permission to sift all of you like wheat—to shake your faith violently.[32] But I have prayed for you, that your faith will not completely fail. When you have turned back to Me, strengthen your brothers."[33] Peter declared boldly, "Lord, I am ready to go with You to prison and to death!"[34] Jesus replied sadly, "Peter, before the rooster crows today, you will deny three times that you even know Me."[35] Then Jesus asked them, "When I sent you out to minister without money, bag, or extra sandals, did you lack anything?" They answered, "Nothing."[36] He said, "But now, take your money and a bag. And if you don't have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one.[37] For this scripture must be fulfilled in Me: 'He was numbered with the transgressors.' Everything written about Me is coming to its culmination."[38] The disciples said, "Look, Lord, here are two swords." He replied, "That is enough"—showing they had misunderstood His metaphor about preparation.[39] Jesus went out as usual to the Mount of Olives to pray, and His disciples followed Him.[40] On reaching the place, He urged them, "Pray that you will not fall into temptation."[41] He withdrew about a stone's throw beyond them, knelt down, and began to pray.[42] "Father," He pleaded, "if You are willing, take this cup of suffering from Me. Yet not My will, but Yours be done."[43] An angel from heaven appeared and strengthened Him for what lay ahead.[44] Being in anguish, He prayed more earnestly, and His sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground—showing the intense spiritual battle He fought.[45] When He rose from prayer and returned to His disciples, He found them asleep, exhausted from sorrow.[46] "Why are you sleeping?" He asked. "Get up and pray so that you will not fall into temptation."[47] While He was still speaking, a crowd approached, led by Judas. The betrayer came close to Jesus to kiss Him—turning a gesture of love into a sign of betrayal.[48] Jesus asked him, "Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?"[49] When Jesus' followers saw what was coming, they asked, "Lord, should we strike with our swords?"[50] One of them struck the high priest's servant, cutting off his right ear.[51] But Jesus said, "No more of this!" And He touched the man's ear and healed him—showing divine love even to His enemies.[52] Then Jesus addressed the chief priests, temple guards, and elders who had come for Him: "Am I leading a rebellion, that you come with swords and clubs?[53] Every day I was with you in the temple courts, but you didn't lay a hand on Me. But this is your hour—when darkness reigns."[54] They seized Jesus, led Him away, and took Him into the high priest's house. Peter followed at a distance, his courage failing.[55] They lit a fire in the courtyard and sat around it. Peter joined them, trying to blend in.[56] A servant girl saw him in the firelight, looked closely, and said, "This man was with Jesus."[57] But Peter denied it: "Woman, I don't know Him!"[58] A little later someone else looked at him and said, "You are one of them." Peter replied, "Man, I am not!"[59] About an hour later, another insisted, "Certainly this fellow was with Him—he's a Galilean too!"[60] Peter replied, "Man, I don't know what you're talking about!" Immediately, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed.[61] The Lord turned and looked straight at Peter. Then Peter remembered Jesus' words: "Before the rooster crows today, you will deny Me three times."[62] He went outside and wept bitterly—his heart broken by his own failure.[63] The men guarding Jesus began mocking and beating Him.[64] They blindfolded Him and demanded, "Prophesy! Who hit You?"[65] They said many other insulting things to Him, unleashing their cruelty on divine love.[66] At daybreak the council of elders—chief priests and teachers of the law—met together. Jesus was brought before them.[67] "If You are the Messiah," they said, "tell us." Jesus answered, "If I tell you, you will not believe Me,[68] and if I asked you, you would not answer.[69] But from now on, the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the mighty God."[70] They all asked, "Are You then the Son of God?" He replied, "You say that I am."[71] Then they said, "Why do we need any more testimony? We have heard it from His own lips!" They twisted His truthful words into grounds for condemnation.
