Devin’s slides: 5-8 Slide 5: The Crucifiction Simon was forced to carry the cross for Jesus. Jesus was offered wine to drink, but did not drink it. People passing by hurled insults at Jesus. Chief Priests and teachers of the law were also saying insults to Jesus.

The quote characterizes the female as the “male”, and the male acting as the “female”, showing the female having more power over the male which is known for males to have more power than females back in history symbolizing the unequal power a gender has over the other. In Woman Hollering Creek, the short story uses symbolism and plot setting literary devices to reveal how people, throughout the ages, deal with the complex social issues of women not getting equal rights as men. “Nothing one could walk to, at any rate. Because the towns here are built so that you have to depend on your

Before getting into the details of Jesus' cleansing of the temple as outlined in the book of Matthew, it will first be necessary to provide some context to the narrative. The cleansing of the temple can be found in Matthew 21:12-17, but the rest of the chapter includes important contextual information that allows one to better appreciate this passage both in its immediate historical context and its larger theological one. The cleansing of

The teachings of Jesus focused primarily on the "the kingdom of God" and were usually relayed through parables drawing on familiar images from agricultural life. He rebuked the hypocrisy of some Jewish leaders and taught the importance of love and kindness, even to one's enemies. Jesus' popularity grew quickly, but so did opposition from local leaders. Roman rulers were uncomfortable with the common perception that he was the Messiah who would liberate the Jews from Roman rule, while Jewish leaders were disquieted by Jesus' shocking interpretations of Jewish law, his power with the people, and the rumor that he had been alluding to his own divinity. In the Gospels, Jesus repeatedly suggests to his disciples his end is near, but they do not fully understand or accept the idea. The clearest expression of this is at the "Last Supper," which took place on the night before his death. All four Gospels record that Jesus shared bread and wine with his disciples, asking them to "do this in remembrance of me." Christians celebrate this event in the sacrament of the Eucharist, or Communion. On this evening Jesus also predicts that one of them will betray him, which is met with astonishment and denial. But that very night, Jesus' fate was sealed when Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples and possibly the group's treasurer, led Roman soldiers to Jesus for 30 pieces of silver. As they arrested Jesus, the ever-colorful Peter defended his master with a sword, slicing off

Whitman’s language is saying that as an individual you must find your community and stay there. This would be problematic if he had not followed it with him asserting his belief that his own is the man and the women. He also declares that mothers are part of his community, and the mothers of mothers. It is important to note that Whitman is not suggesting an equality between the two in this passage. He is simply saying that all of these people are his people, his community is made up of all kinds. While it is not a direct attack on women’s oppression nor a direct statement in support of their rights, on a scale of supportive to problematic, this passage falls near the center. One cannot yet label Whitman as a feminist but so far he has not proved to be a misogynist either.

Jesus was letting them know they had lost its

The Gospel of John, the last of the four gospels in the Bible, is a radical departure from the simple style of the synoptic gospels. It is the only one that does not use parables as a way of showing how Jesus taught, and is the only account of several events, including the raising of Lazarus and Jesus turning water into wine. While essentially the gospel is written anonymously, many scholars believe that it was written by the apostle John sometime between the years 85 and 95 CE in Ephesus. The basic story is that of a testimonial of one of the Apostles and his version of Jesus' ministry. It begins by telling of the divine origins of the birth of Jesus, then goes on to prove that He is the Son of

In addition to that quote, Baker says “Let us bring him silver and gold, said the king to the people everywhere.” This is when the three kings brought Jesus their

The story that is depicted by Giotto di Bondone in his painting Expulsion of the Merchants from the Temple is the bible story about Christ ridding the temple of merchants. Giotto does a very good job of conveying the emotion of Christ and all of the other people that were at this event. People of the Jewish faith are called to come make sacrifices at the temple a couple times a year. During these times of sacrifice, merchants would set up markets in the back of and on the immediate exterior of the temple. They would try to sell anything that they could make money on; for example, they would sell souvenirs, animals for sacrifice, and exchange foreign currencies for profit. This abuse of the temple angers Christ and he throws all of the merchants

They were trying to trick jesus and make him look bad. The men were trying to get a reaction out of Jesus which would result in him

This Gospel also gives the location of Bethany, which has not been done. In John 1:30, John the Baptist says to Jesus that he ranks ahead of him because he existed before him, but in Luke, John the Baptist was a few months older than Jesus. In John, was John the Baptist talking about Jesus’s literal age or was he inferring something else? Also in the Gospel of John, I like how John the Baptist sees the dove flying and that is how he knows it is Jesus. In the Gospel of John, John the Baptist has said “Behold, the Lamb of the God” (John 1:36) twice.

It was that Jesus was attending the “Feast of the Tabernacle” which was one of the three annual feasts that all the males of Israel were expected to attend. Jesus was hesitant about attending because He knew the religious leaders were seeking to kill him. This was because earlier in the Scriptures Jesus healed a man on the Sabbath day who had been sick for 38 years (5:5-15). Additionally, they also wanted to kill him because He said: “God was his Father, making himself equal to God” (5:18). Jesus said, though, that the world hated him because He “… testifies of it that its works are evil” (John 7:7). Nevertheless, He decided to attend this five-day feast and, in the middle of the feast, He began teaching some of the Jews in the temple court.

Jesus in Mathew 23, spoke to the Pharisee about judgment, culminating in the seven “woe” statement. On leaving the temple in chapter 24, the disciples called his attention to the buildings on the temple mount. Jesus in verse 2, tells them forthrightly that “not one stone here will be left on another; everyone will be thrown down.” A prophecy fulfilled in 70AD when the Romans destroyed Jerusalem. The magnificent Temple was destroyed.

Mary and Joseph presented Jesus in the Temple, where St. Simeon rejoiced and Mary received word of sorrows to come later. Warned to flee,

Review of last week’s sermon: Jesus left the temple and the city for the last time and returned to the Mount of Olives on the eastern side. As they are leaving the city, one of the disciples comments on the magnificent temple but Jesus gives a starting prediction of the total destruction of the temple in which He states that not one stone will be left upon another, which will not be torn down. This prophecy was fulfilled in A.D.70 when the Romans utterly destroyed the temple and the whole city.
