  John 18:12-27 — The Faithful Witness and the Failing Disciple

  Aug 30, 202636 min

  4  The Lord God has given me     the tongue of those who are taught, that I may know how to sustain with a word     him who is weary. Morning by morning he awakens;     he awakens my ear     to hear as those who are taught. 5  The Lord God has opened my ear,     and I was not rebellious;     I turned not backward. 6  I gave my back to those who strike,     and my cheeks to those who pull out the beard; I hid not my face     from disgrace and spitting. 7 But the Lord God helps me; therefore I have not been disgraced; therefore I have set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be put to shame. 8 He who vindicates me is near. Who will contend with me? Let us stand up together. Who is my adversary? Let him come near to me. 9 Behold, the Lord God helps me; who will declare me guilty? Behold, all of them will wear out like a garment; the moth will eat them up. (Isaiah 50:4-9, ESV) Jesus Faces Annas and Caiaphas 12  So the band of soldiers and their captain and the officers of the Jews [ a ]  arrested Jesus and bound him.  13  First they led him to Annas, for he was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.  14  It was Caiaphas who had advised the Jews that it would be expedient that one man should die for the people. Peter Denies Jesus 15  Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple. Since that disciple was known to the high priest, he entered with Jesus into the courtyard of the high priest,  16  but Peter stood outside at the door. So the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to the servant girl who kept watch at the door, and brought Peter in.  17  The servant girl at the door said to Peter, “You also are not one of this man’s disciples, are you?” He said, “I am not.”  18  Now the servants [ b ]  and officers had made a charcoal fire, because it was cold, and they were standing and warming themselves. Peter also was with them, standing and warming himself. The High Priest Questions Jesus 19  The high priest then questioned Jesus about his disciples and his teaching.  20  Jesus answered him, “I have spoken openly to the world. I have always taught in synagogues and in the temple, where all Jews come together. I have said nothing in secret.  21  Why do you ask me? Ask those who have heard me what I said to them; they know what I said.”  22  When he had said these things, one of the officers standing by struck Jesus with his hand, saying, “Is that how you answer the high priest?”  23  Jesus answered him, “If what I said is wrong, bear witness about the wrong; but if what I said is right, why do you strike me?”  24  Annas then sent him bound to Caiaphas the high priest. Peter Denies Jesus Again 25 Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. So they said to him, “You also are not one of his disciples, are you?” He denied it and said, “I am not.” 26 One of the servants of the high priest, a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, asked, “Did I not see you in the garden with him?” 27 Peter again denied it, and at once a rooster crowed. (John 18:12-27, ESV)

  John 18:1-11 — Sheathing the Sword in Order to Drink the Cup

  Aug 23, 202638 min

  Betrayal and Arrest of Jesus 18 When Jesus had spoken these words, he went out with his disciples across the brook Kidron, where there was a garden, which he and his disciples entered. 2 Now Judas, who betrayed him, also knew the place, for Jesus often met there with his disciples. 3 So Judas, having procured a band of soldiers and some officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, went there with lanterns and torches and weapons. 4 Then Jesus, knowing all that would happen to him, came forward and said to them, “Whom do you seek?” 5 They answered him, “Jesus of Nazareth.” Jesus said to them, “I am he.” [ a ] Judas, who betrayed him, was standing with them. 6 When Jesus [ b ] said to them, “I am he,” they drew back and fell to the ground. 7 So he asked them again, “Whom do you seek?” And they said, “Jesus of Nazareth.” 8 Jesus answered, “I told you that I am he. So, if you seek me, let these men go.” 9 This was to fulfill the word that he had spoken: “Of those whom you gave me I have lost not one.” 10 Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it and struck the high priest’s servant [ c ] and cut off his right ear. (The servant’s name was Malchus.) 11 So Jesus said to Peter, “Put your sword into its sheath; shall I not drink the cup that the Father has given me?” (John 18:1-11, ESV) He Was Pierced for Our Transgressions 13  Behold, my servant shall act wisely; [ a ]     he shall be high and lifted up,     and shall be exalted. 14  As many were astonished at you—     his appearance was so marred, beyond human semblance,     and his form beyond that of the children of mankind— 15  so shall he sprinkle [ b ]  many nations.     Kings shall shut their mouths because of him, for that which has not been told them they see,     and that which they have not heard they understand. 53  Who has believed what he has heard from us? [ c ]     And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? 2  For he grew up before him like a young plant,     and like a root out of dry ground; he had no form or majesty that we should look at him,     and no beauty that we should desire him. 3  He was despised and rejected [ d ]  by men,     a man of sorrows [ e ]  and acquainted with [ f ]  grief; [ g ] and as one from whom men hide their faces [ h ]     he was despised, and we esteemed him not. 4  Surely he has borne our griefs     and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed him stricken,     smitten by God, and afflicted. 5  But he was pierced for our transgressions;     he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace,     and with his wounds we are healed. 6  All we like sheep have gone astray;     we have turned—every one—to his own way; and the Lord has laid on him     the iniquity of us all. 7  He was oppressed, and he was afflicted,     yet he opened not his mouth; like a lamb that is led to the slaughter,     and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent,     so he opened not his mouth. 8  By oppression and judgment he was taken away;     and as for his generation, who considered that he was cut off out of the land of the living,     stricken for the transgression of my people? 9  And they made his grave with the wicked     and with a rich man in his death, although [ i ]  he had done no violence,     and there was no deceit in his mouth. 10 Yet it was the will of the Lord to crush him; he has put him to grief; [ j ] when his soul makes [ k ] an offering for guilt, he shall see his offspring; he shall prolong his days; the will of the Lord shall prosper in his hand. 11 Out of the anguish of his soul he shall see [ l ] and be satisfied; by his knowledge shall the righteous one, my servant, make many to be accounted righteous, and he shall bear their iniquities. 12 Therefore I will divide him a portion with the many, [ m ] and he shall divide the spoil with the strong, [ n ] because he poured out his soul to death and was numbered with the transgressors; yet he bore the sin of many, and makes intercession for the transgressors. (Isaiah 52:13 – 53:12, ESV)

  1 Samuel 5:1-12 — Dagon: Defeated and Prostrate Before the LORD

  Aug 16, 202636 min

  Alive in Christ 6  Therefore, as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him,  7  rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving. 8  See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits [ a ]  of the world, and not according to Christ.  9  For in him the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily,  10  and you have been filled in him, who is the head of all rule and authority.  11  In him also you were circumcised with a circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ,  12  having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through faith in the powerful working of God, who raised him from the dead.  13  And you, who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses,  14  by canceling the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This he set aside, nailing it to the cross.  15  He disarmed the rulers and authorities [ b ]  and put them to open shame, by triumphing over them in him. [ c ] (Colossians 2:6-15, ESV) The Philistines and the Ark 5  When the Philistines captured the ark of God, they brought it from Ebenezer to Ashdod.  2  Then the Philistines took the ark of God and brought it into the house of Dagon and set it up beside Dagon.  3  And when the people of Ashdod rose early the next day, behold, Dagon had fallen face downward on the ground before the ark of the Lord. So they took Dagon and put him back in his place.  4  But when they rose early on the next morning, behold, Dagon had fallen face downward on the ground before the ark of the Lord, and the head of Dagon and both his hands were lying cut off on the threshold. Only the trunk of Dagon was left to him.  5  This is why the priests of Dagon and all who enter the house of Dagon do not tread on the threshold of Dagon in Ashdod to this day. 6  The hand of the Lord was heavy against the people of Ashdod, and he terrified and afflicted them with tumors, both Ashdod and its territory.  7  And when the men of Ashdod saw how things were, they said, “The ark of the God of Israel must not remain with us, for his hand is hard against us and against Dagon our god.”  8  So they sent and gathered together all the lords of the Philistines and said, “What shall we do with the ark of the God of Israel?” They answered, “Let the ark of the God of Israel be brought around to Gath.” So they brought the ark of the God of Israel there.  9  But after they had brought it around, the hand of the Lord was against the city, causing a very great panic, and he afflicted the men of the city, both young and old, so that tumors broke out on them.  10  So they sent the ark of God to Ekron. But as soon as the ark of God came to Ekron, the people of Ekron cried out, “They have brought around to us the ark of the God of Israel to kill us and our people.”  11  They sent therefore and gathered together all the lords of the Philistines and said, “Send away the ark of the God of Israel, and let it return to its own place, that it may not kill us and our people.” For there was a deathly panic throughout the whole city. The hand of God was very heavy there.  12  The men who did not die were struck with tumors, and the cry of the city went up to heaven. (1 Samuel 5:1-12, ESV)

  John 17:20-26 — The Catholicity of Christ’s Church in Word, Spirit, and Heavenly Life

  Aug 16, 202640 min

  When Brothers Dwell in Unity A Song of Ascents. Of David. 133 Behold, how good and pleasant it is when brothers dwell in unity! [ a ] 2 It is like the precious oil on the head, running down on the beard, on the beard of Aaron, running down on the collar of his robes! 3 It is like the dew of Hermon, which falls on the mountains of Zion! For there the Lord has commanded the blessing, life forevermore. (Psalm 133, ESV) 20 “I do not ask for these only, but also for those who will believe in me through their word, 21 that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me. 22 The glory that you have given me I have given to them, that they may be one even as we are one, 23 I in them and you in me, that they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that you sent me and loved them even as you loved me. 24 Father, I desire that they also, whom you have given me, may be with me where I am, to see my glory that you have given me because you loved me before the foundation of the world. 25 O righteous Father, even though the world does not know you, I know you, and these know that you have sent me. 26 I made known to them your name, and I will continue to make it known, that the love with which you have loved me may be in them, and I in them.” (John 17:20-26, ESV)

  1 Samuel 4:1-22 — The Glory Departs, God Enters Exile

  Aug 9, 2026—

  The Philistines Capture the Ark 4  And the word of Samuel came to all Israel. Now Israel went out to battle against the Philistines. They encamped at Ebenezer, and the Philistines encamped at Aphek.  2  The Philistines drew up in line against Israel, and when the battle spread, Israel was defeated before the Philistines, who killed about four thousand men on the field of battle.  3  And when the people came to the camp, the elders of Israel said, “Why has the Lord defeated us today before the Philistines? Let us bring the ark of the covenant of the Lord here from Shiloh, that it [ a ]  may come among us and save us from the power of our enemies.”  4  So the people sent to Shiloh and brought from there the ark of the covenant of the Lord of hosts, who is enthroned on the cherubim. And the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were there with the ark of the covenant of God. 5  As soon as the ark of the covenant of the Lord came into the camp, all Israel gave a mighty shout, so that the earth resounded.  6  And when the Philistines heard the noise of the shouting, they said, “What does this great shouting in the camp of the Hebrews mean?” And when they learned that the ark of the Lord had come to the camp,  7  the Philistines were afraid, for they said, “A god has come into the camp.” And they said, “Woe to us! For nothing like this has happened before.  8  Woe to us! Who can deliver us from the power of these mighty gods? These are the gods who struck the Egyptians with every sort of plague in the wilderness.  9  Take courage, and be men, O Philistines, lest you become slaves to the Hebrews as they have been to you; be men and fight.” 10  So the Philistines fought, and Israel was defeated, and they fled, every man to his home. And there was a very great slaughter, for thirty thousand foot soldiers of Israel fell.  11  And the ark of God was captured, and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, died. The Death of Eli 12  A man of Benjamin ran from the battle line and came to Shiloh the same day, with his clothes torn and with dirt on his head.  13  When he arrived, Eli was sitting on his seat by the road watching, for his heart trembled for the ark of God. And when the man came into the city and told the news, all the city cried out.  14  When Eli heard the sound of the outcry, he said, “What is this uproar?” Then the man hurried and came and told Eli.  15  Now Eli was ninety-eight years old and his eyes were set so that he could not see.  16  And the man said to Eli, “I am he who has come from the battle; I fled from the battle today.” And he said, “How did it go, my son?”  17  He who brought the news answered and said, “Israel has fled before the Philistines, and there has also been a great defeat among the people. Your two sons also, Hophni and Phinehas, are dead, and the ark of God has been captured.”  18  As soon as he mentioned the ark of God, Eli fell over backward from his seat by the side of the gate, and his neck was broken and he died, for the man was old and heavy. He had judged Israel forty years. 19  Now his daughter-in-law, the wife of Phinehas, was pregnant, about to give birth. And when she heard the news that the ark of God was captured, and that her father-in-law and her husband were dead, she bowed and gave birth, for her pains came upon her.  20  And about the time of her death the women attending her said to her, “Do not be afraid, for you have borne a son.” But she did not answer or pay attention.  21  And she named the child Ichabod, saying, “The glory has departed [ b ]  from Israel!” because the ark of God had been captured and because of her father-in-law and her husband.  22  And she said, “The glory has departed from Israel, for the ark of God has been captured.” (1 Samuel 4:1-22, ESV)
