Jesus approaches Jerusalem and stops at the Mount of Olives where he will stay for the next few days, He makes preparation to enter the city. This time, he will enter as the triumphal king fulfilling the prophecy from Zechariah, “Look! Your king comes to you; he is righteous and victorious, humble and riding on a donkey”. Everyone knew what this meant, the King is here. As he descended the Mount of Olives, his disciples began to shout praises, the crowds that had come for the feast joined with praise, and the children also sang praises. Only the religious were indignant as they sought a way to kill him. Jesus, “the King of Israel”, cleansed the temple driving out the sellers and buyers and declared his house, “a house of prayer for all nations”. Then he healed the blind and the lame, he taught the people in the temple court, he demonstrated the power of God for all to see.

The Triumphal Entry

Mark 11:1-11
Matthew 21:1-11
Luke 19:28-40
John 12:12-19

Why Are You Doing This?

Mark 11:1–11
See the notes from 10 January 2018 Why Are You Doing This?

Your King is Coming To You

Matthew 21:1–11
This is, in Matthew 21:5, is a fulfillment of

Zechariah 9:9 (LEB) Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout aloud, O daughter of Jerusalem! Look! Your king comes to you; he is righteous and victorious, humble and riding on a donkey, and on a male donkey, the foal of a female donkey!

And in Matthew 21:9-11 the crowds gathered and shouted “The crowd understood that Jesus was declaring Himself to be the Messiah. Their shouts of praise reflect Psa 118:25–26”.¹ 

If These Keep Silent, The Stones Will Cry Out!

Luke 19:28–40
The disciples put Jesus on the colt as they began their descent into Jerusalem. In Luke 19:35-38 “they were spreading out their cloaks on the road” and as they reached the valley and began their procession into the city, “the whole crowd of the disciples began rejoicing to praise God with a loud voice for all of the miracles they had seen, saying Blessed is the King”. For them, it was the entry they had waited for, their king, at last, would be acknowledged because “The donkey in Palestine was not the lowly beast that it is in this country. It was noble. Only in a war did kings ride upon a horse; when they came in peace they came upon a donkey. So Jesus by this action came as a king of love and peace, and not as the conquering military hero whom the tumultuous crowds expected and awaited”.² 

The King of Israel!

John 12:12–19
The crowd in Jerusalem included many that arrived for the feast, but also those in John 12:18 “who was with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead”. Their faith, their anticipation, their excitement overflowed into praise in

John 12:12–13 (LEB) On the next day the large crowd who had come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, 13 took the branches of palm trees and went out to meet him, and began crying out, “Hosanna! Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord, even the king of Israel!”

Jesus Cleanses the Temple

Mark 11:15-19
Matthew 21:12-17
Luke 19:45-48 

My House, a House of Prayer for All the Nations

Mark 11:15–19
Jesus had been in the temple courts many times before, and just the day before. Today though, he exercises his authority and in Mark 11:15 “began to drive out those who were selling and those who were buying”. Early in his ministry, Jesus had told his disciples not to go to the Samaritans or the Gentiles because he was called to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. Now, he declares his house is for all nations.

He Was Teaching Every Day in the Temple Courts

Luke 19:45–48
But even among the praise of the people, in Luke 19:47 “the chief priests and the scribes and the most prominent men of the people were seeking to destroy him”.

We learn that Mary, who will anoint Jesus for burial, is the sister of Martha and their brother is Lazarus. We also find that there is a close personal tie as Lazarus is called “the one whom you love”. When Jesus finds out about the illness of Lazarus, he continues two more days and then begins the journey to Bethany. Lazarus is dead and Jesus finds Mary and Martha grieving with many Jews from Jerusalem. Jesus asks Martha to believe and she does, they roll away the stone from the tomb and Jesus calls Lazarus. He comes out walking. Seeing this, many Jews believe Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God. But, on hearing the news, the Pharisees, the Sanhedrin and high priest set themselves to kill Jesus not knowing they are fulfilling God’s prophetic word. 

The One Whom You Love is Sick

John 11:1–6
There is in John 11:1-3 a close personal relationship between Lazarus and Jesus and “Only now do we learn that Lazarus is the brother of Mary and Martha. The family appears in John for the first time, but cf. Lk. 10:38ff. That John can identify Mary to his readers by alluding to the episode in which she poured perfume on the Lord and wiped his feet with her hair, even before he narrates that event (12:1–8), presupposes that he thinks his readers have already heard of it.¹

As Jesus gets this news of Lazarus condition, he says in

John 11:4 (LEB) And when he* heard it, Jesus said, “This sickness is not to death, but for the glory of God, in order that the Son of God may be glorified through it.”

Jesus didn’t change his course, he, in John 11:6 “remained in the place where he was two days”. This doesn’t make sense, why would he do that? If Jesus loved them as it says in John 11:5 wouldn’t he go immediately? Jesus often healed people in the synagogue, or in the crowd. He healed those that came to him as in

Matthew 15:30 (LEB) And large crowds came to him, having with them the mute, blind, lame, crippled, and many others, and they put them down at his feet, and he healed them.

And this isn’t the only reference, and God’s healing power continued through Acts, “30 great. ch. 4:23, 24; 11:4, 5; 14:35, 36. Ps. 103:3. Is. 35:5, 6. Mar. 1:32–34; 6:54–56. Lu. 6:17–19; 7:21, 22. Ac. 2:22; 5:15, 16; 19:11, 12.”²

He also though, went on request to heal people as in

Matthew 8:7 “I will come and heal him”.

And other references are also found, “7 I will. ch. 9:18, 19. Mar. 5:23, 24. Lu. 7:6”.³

But in Matthew 8:8 we see an extension of Jesus healing power, “only say the word and my slave will be healed”. Here, “All that is needed is for Jesus to say the word, where the expression is something like “speak with a word”—the word is the instrument “with” which the servant will be healed”.⁴

Jesus didn’t need to go anywhere to accomplish this healing of Lazarus. 

So That You May Believe

John 11:7–16
Whatever Jesus was doing was important to him and when it was finished, in

John 11:7 (LEB) Then after this he said to the disciples, “Let us go to Judea again.”

Whatever the reason for the delay, John “always shows us Jesus taking action entirely on his own initiative and not on the persuasion of anyone else”.⁵

When in John 11:8 the disciples react in fear that the Jews might kill Jesus, Jesus responds in John 11:9-10 “Are there not twelve hours in a day?” meaning that there is work to be done. And then he tells them in John 11:11-15 that “Lazarus has died … so that you may believe, let us go to him”. 

Lord, If You Had Been Here

John 11:17–27
It had taken time for the news of Lazarus illness and the families request to get to Jesus. Jesus himself delayed two days. And, it took some time to get to Bethany it could easily have been four days, “if Jesus, after two days’ further stay in Perea, set out on the day following for Bethany, some ten hours’ journey, that would make out the four days; the first and last being incomplete [MEYER]”.⁶

We also see in John 11:18-19 that “Bethany was near Jerusalem … so many of the Jews came”. Martha’s response to Jesus in John 11:21-27 was first, an accusation out of her grief, “if you had been here, my brother would not have died” but then she speaks in faith, “I know whatever you ask …” and Jesus says, “Your brother will rise again” and Martha responds, “I know … in the resurrection” but Jesus responds “I am the resurrection …” and we finally get to Martha’s answer, “Yes, Lord, I have believed that you are the Christ …”.

Where Have You Laid Him?

John 11:28–37
When Mary hears that Jesus has arrived, she goes to him in John 11:22 and makes the same statement her sister did, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died”. This is a human emotional reaction. It is as if she was saying, Why weren’t you here for us? How could you let this happen? And, in John 11:33 Jesus “was deeply moved” as Hebrews 4:13 says, “able to sympathize with our weaknesses”. Certainly here, “He (Jesus) showed us a God whose heart is wrung with anguish for the anguish of his people”.⁷

Take Away the Stone

John 11:38–44
As they approach the tomb, Jesus, in John 11:39-40 says “Take away the stone” but Martha’s faith in Jesus as the resurrection and the life is confronted with her natural mind as she says, “Lord, he is stinking already”. And Jesus repeats himself in

John 11:40 Jesus said to her, “Did I not say to you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?”

And Jesus prays in John 11:41-44, “for the sake of the crowd”, and says “Lazarus, come out!” and “the one who had died came out”.

One Man Should Die for the People

John 11:45–57
Many Jews were there from Jerusalem and in John 11:45-46 “many of the Jews … saw the things which he did and believed in him. But some went to the Pharisees …” and in John 11:47 “the Pharisees called together the Sanhedrin”.

John 11:49–50 (LEB) But a certain one of them, Caiaphas (who was high priest in that year), said to them, “You do not know anything at all! 50 Nor do you consider that it is profitable for you that one man should die for the people, and the whole nation not perish.”

A rich young man comes to Jesus and bows before him, but Jesus rejects his flattery and then responds t his request, “What must I do to inherit eternal life?” Certainly eternal life is a worthy request, but his premise is all wrong. He can’t earn it or buy it so Jesus takes him through the commandments, the work he has done to earn eternal life and, with love in his correction, says sell what you have and give to the poor, and then he gets to the most important part, “and come, follow me”. It is in following Jesus that we inherit eternal life. This was too hard a thing, for him to give up his wealth, his lifestyle, his position, but isn’t eternal life worth more than that? God’s thinks and operates differently than we do. As we read the scriptures, it is for our correction. To teach us to think like him.

Go, Sell All That You Have

Mark 10:17-22
Matthew 19:16-22
Luke 18:18-23 

Good Teacher, What Must I Do?

Mark 10:17–22
This rich young man was well trained in the social graces. In Mark 10:17 he “knelt down before him (Jesus) and asked him, ‘Good Teacher …'”.Kneeling is a sign of submission and calling Jesus “Good Teacher” seems like a nice greeting, but Jesus saw it for what it was, flattery. This was not the way. Then Jesus recites the commandments in Mark 10:19 “Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, …” and in Mark 10:20 the young man replies “all these I have observed …”. Now, in Mark 10:21 it says “Jesus, looking at him, loved him, and said to him …”. Jesus said the one thing to him that he could not do. As Barclay says, “Jesus confronted him with a challenge. In effect he said, ‘Get out of this moral respectability. Stop looking at goodness as consisting in not doing things. Take yourself and all that you have, and spend everything on others. Then you will find true happiness in time and in eternity.’ The man could not do it. He had great possessions”.¹

This is what he had asked Jesus isn’t it? “What must I do?” He did understand that action was needed, and he did understand that the result was eternal life. This young mans request was well informed, he knew the scriptures, “Although some Jews in Jesus’ day denied the possibility of resurrection and eternal life, many others believed that they would be resurrected and granted entrance into the kingdom of God (compare Dan 12:2)”.²

But doing what Jesus asked would have lowered him. To sell all and give it would have made him equal to the poor. He could not believe what Jesus said and put off his wealth now for eternal treasure in heaven.

What Good Thing Must I Do

Matthew 19:16–22
Matthew reveals something more about this young mans thinking. In Matthew 19:16 the young man says, “What good thing must I do so that I will have eternal life”. Jesus recites with him the commandments and he says in Matthew 19:20 “All these I have observed. What do I still lack?” Jesus responds with two things in Matthew 19:21. First he says, “sell what you have and give to the poor”. Then he says, “come follow me”. Sadly, he never got past the first statement, he was held by his wealth and position. He couldn’t manipulate Jesus favor, he couldn’t buy Jesus favor, he never followed and his end is destruction.

Come Follow Me

Luke 18:18–23
Luke records the same event and at the end, in

Luke 18:23 (LEB) But when he* heard these things he became very sad, because he was extremely wealthy.

Who Can Enter the Kingdom

Mark 10:23-31
Matthew 19:23-30
Luke 18:24-30

How Difficult It Is for Those Who Possess Wealth

Mark 10:23–31
Jesus uses the example of a camel going through the eye of a needle to describe how difficult it is for a wealthy person to enter God’s kingdom. This example may be lost on most of us because few people sew, especially by hand, and we don’t have camels but I think we can understand that “Rabbinic Judaism speaks proverbially of “the eye of a needle” as the smallest possible opening (J. N. Sepp, ZDPV 14 [1891] 30–34) … (and) the camel was considered the largest animal in Palestine”.³ 

Then Who Can Be Saved?

Matthew 19:23–30
This dialog began with the rich young ruler. He had lived a good life. He had kept the “do not” commandments. Jesus was making a main point with his disciples, in Matthew 19:26 he says, “With human beings this is impossible”. What did he say? “With human beings this (to be saved) is impossible”. There isn’t anything we can do to gain approval with God. And we would surely be “lost and without hope in the world” except that he also said “with God all things are possible”. When we read this “with God all things are possible” we may read it as “because God is all powerful, it is possible”. But I am going to suggest this reading, “when I am walking with God, following after Him, it is possible to be saved”. Didn’t Jesus say to the rich young man, “and come, follow me” in Matthew 19:21? And doesn’t he say in Matthew 19:28 “you who have followed me”? It is this relationship, this fellowship, to be “with God” and being with him that is the power of God to save because “when we become Christians, we enter into a new divine fellowship. We enter into possession of eternal life, the life which is the very life of God”.⁴

In The Age to Come, Eternal Life

Luke 18:24–30
Jesus disciples had left their way of life. In

Luke 18:28 (LEB) And Peter said, “Behold, we have left all that is ours and followed you.”

And Jesus makes it clear, that there is reward in serving God in

Luke 18:29–30 (LEB) And he said to them, “Truly I say to you that there is no one who has left house or wife or brothers or parents or children on account of the kingdom of God, 30 who will not receive many times more in this time and in the age to come, eternal life.”

Workers for His Vineyard

Matthew 20:1–16
This parable of the workers in the vineyard gives great insight into the way God thinks. We think in terms of hourly rate or labor expended. We have our rules of fairness but God rewards based on action in response to his request. In Matthew 20:1-2 the master hires workers and they agree a fair wage. This parable doesn’t say anything about how much work there is in the vineyard or even what kind of work it is. But the master, in Matthew 20:3, 5, 6 goes and hires more workers. Some then work all day, some three hours less, some six hours less and some nine hours less. And at the end of the day, the master pays all the same in Matthew 20:8-10. Why would anyone complain? Think like God in

Matthew 20:15 (LEB) Is it not permitted for me to do whatever I want with what is mine? Or is your eye evil because I am generous?’

Some believe that sick people are being punished because of their sin. And that is what the crowd assumed when they brought this man, blind from birth, to Jesus. It must have been sin by him or sin by his parents. Jesus says no, it is so that God can be glorified. When Jesus made mud and put it on this blind mans eyes Jesus then told him to wash in the pool of Siloam. The man did then went home seeing. His neighbors wondered, what happened? The Pharisees wondered, what happened? The man didn’t know, he hadn’t been able to see who did this. He just knew that now, he could see. When Jesus found him, he introduced himself asking “Do You Believe in the Son of Man?”. When this man who had been blind learns that Jesus, the Christ, the son of man is standing in front of him, he worships him. Jesus later says, in John 10:4 “the sheep follow him because they know his voice”, and in John 10:14 “my own know me”. 

Although I Was Blind, Now I See!

John 9:24–34
The Pharisees seek out the formerly blind man again in John 9:24 and skip all of the Social graces saying to him, “Give glory to God! We know that this man is a sinner!”. They aren’t asking, they are telling but they don’t get the response they want. So now in John 9:26 they ask “What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?”. Again, they don’t get the answer they want so in John 9:28 they say “You are his disciple! But we are disciples of Moses!” and the “You are his disciple!” was meant in the most demeaning way while the “we are disciples of Moses!” was meant with great pride.

But they were not following after Moses. Others had also said they were Moses disciples but Jesus said in

John 5:45–46 (LEB) Do not think that I will accuse you before the Father! The one who accuses you is Moses, in whom you have put your hope! 46 For if you had believed Moses, you would believe me, for that one wrote about me.

John 7:19 (LEB) Has not Moses given you the law, and none of you carries out the law? Why do you seek to kill me?”

The man that had been born blind and can now see responds to these false followers of Moses in

John 9:32-33 (LEB) From time immemorial it has not been heard that someone opened the eyes of one born blind. 33 If this man were not from God, he would not be able to do anything!”

So, in John 9:34 they accused him saying “You were born completely in sin … and they threw him out”. 

Do You Believe in the Son of Man?

John 9:35–41
This man had been blind from birth, so when Jesus smeared clay on his eyes in John 9:6, he didn’t know what Jesus looked like. He did what Jesus said in John 9:7 “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam … and came back seeing”. He had just gone home to his neighborhood and everyone new him as the blind beggar. No one could understand what happened and he himself hadn’t seen the man, Jesus, who had done this miraculous thing of opening his eyes to see. Now, after all of the questioning by the Pharisees, after being thrown out by them, in John 9:35-37 Jesus introduces himself asking, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?” but the the formerly blind man didn’t know how to answer. So in

John 9:37, 39 (LEB) Jesus said to him, “You have both seen him, and he is the one who is speaking with you.” 39 … “For judgment I have come into this world, so that those who do not see may see, and those who see may become blind!”

The blind man responded with worship in

John 9:38 (LEB) And he said, “I believe, Lord!” and he worshiped him.

The Pharisees had responded with pride, ridicule, accusation. These who should have been able to see Jesus were blind. These who should have been leaders were blind. Jesus had said in Luke 6:37, what we call the sermon on the plain, “do not judge … do not condemn …pardon” and then he said in

Luke 6:39 (LEB) And he also told them a parable: “Surely a blind person cannot lead the blind, can he?* Will they not both fall into a pit?

I Am the Door of the Sheep

John 10:1–10
There are two often quoted verses in this section. Each of them are essential and fundamental concepts for the Christian life. First, there is one way to enter the kingdom of heaven, Jesus Christ in

John 10:9 I am the door. If anyone enters through me, he will be saved, and will come in and will go out and will find pasture.

Second, there is an adversary, a destroyer, a thief that is looking for access to the sheep in

John 10:10a The thief comes only so that he can steal and kill and destroy

Then, John 10:10b adds that “I (Jesus, the door) have come so that they may have life, and have it abundantly”. Through Jesus Christ, we gain more that just access to the Kingdom of God, we gain life and “have it abundantly”.

I Am the Good Shepherd

John 10:11–21
Jesus begins to talk about laying down his life. Not for himself, not for the Father (although he is doing the fathers will), not to meet any demands of the devil, or under duress from any person, in Luke 10:1 he “lays down his life for the sheep”. Then in John 10:16 Jesus says, “I have other sheep which are not from this fold. I must bring these also”. He had first been sent in Matthew 15:24 (LEB) “to the lost sheep of the house of Israel”. Now he includes other sheep, the message will go to all the world in

John 10:16 (LEB) And I have other sheep which are not from this fold. I must bring these also, and they will hear my voice, and they will become one flock—one shepherd.

Matthew 19:6 (LEB) So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, man must not separate.”

The Life and Ministry of Jesus Christ – The Gospels

This series follows the order of readings from the Tyndale One Year Chronological Bible.
