Jesus’ Arrest “Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?”, (Luke 22: 48). This was the line that was the start of Jesus’ Death, Resurrection, and Ascension. The Synoptic Gospels are filled with many different stories about Jesus, some tell the same ones. Jesus’ Arrest, was one of the most interesting stories told in the Synoptic Gospels. The Arrest of Jesus, is one of the most important stories in the Synoptic Gospels. In this story, one of Jesus’ disciples was to betray him, Judas
painting consists of what seems to be seven figures; on the left is John, who is reacting to the taking of Jesus with his hands up, or perhaps he is calling someone to tell them that Jesus is being taken away. This is portrayed with a lot of drama, as if the story were a play. As we move to the right, we see Caravaggio’s characteristic of light and dark which is focused on the two main figures: Jesus on the left and Judas to the right of him.
he treated her. This quote also refers to how Jesus loyal to his disciples and his peoples, according to the website BibleGateway, mentioning from the bible John 13:36-14:4, one of his disciples Peter will eventually be denial to Jesus. Also, the quote can relate how Jesus has revived Lazarus of Bethany and he blessed Lazarus, while Cordelia’s kiss to Lear was a blessing to him for the respect he deserved from Goneril and Regan. Cordelia just like Jesus, they were disowned by their loved ones for doing
fine details and symbolism of the narrative will be better understood if the viewer can see every detail. In addition, to the composition of the painting, the balance is also a dynamic factor. Both Ducci... ... middle of paper ... ...example, Jesus is calmly gazing upon Judas’ face with the expression of acceptance for what is to come, and Peter has a grotesque look of fury as he smites the ear off the high priest’s servant. The paintings by Duccio and Giotto firmly set in place a benchmark
This is an extremely high relief sculpture made of limestone. It is to be viewed from a frontal standpoint. It however does have a potential for movement. There seems to be a great deal going on in such a close space. It is very crowded, but dramatic. The figures are intertwining with each other all at once even though there are different things happening. It reminds me of a play with scenes. You can actually step in to it and feel as though you are a part of what is happening because of all the
There were many, many illegal things that happened at Jesus' trial. Their goal was to get Him condemned, not to truly and lawfully find out if He was guilty. They had been trying for a long time to find a way to put Him to death. Now, they had him in their hand and they did their best to get rid of Him. “If these men had intended to conduct a legal trial, a specific charge would have been made against Christ, and a warrant for His arrest would have been issued.”1 Since this was not what they wanted
“With a loud cry, Jesus breathed his last.” (Mark 15:37) “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit.” (Luke 23:46) These are the last words of Jesus as recorded in the Bible. This paper looks at the events leading up to Jesus’ death on the cross as well as the controversy caused by the events. The week that led up to Jesus’ death and the events that occurred during this week are known as the Passion Week. The passion of Jesus is his sufferings between the night of the Last Supper and his death
scribes are making their plans to trap Jesus and kill him. They will do this before the festival because they do not want to provoke the large crowds and cause a riot. There was a dinner in the suburbs, and a woman anoints Jesus with a very expensive ointment which angers some people, because they believe it to be a waste. Jesus then defends the women for what she did, because he believed it to be kind. Meanwhile, Judas sneaks away and agrees to betray Jesus to the chief of priests, who promise him
Jesus and His disciples had just left the Upper Room and crossed over into the Garden of Gethsemane. Here they gathered and awaited Jesus next teachings, but were interrupted by Judas Iscariot and the Temple Guard. (Jn. 18:3) They had come to arrest Jesus as was ordered earlier by Caiaphas’s. (Jn. 7:44-45) Jesus came forward and asks them “Whom do you seek?” (Jn. 18:4). Their answer was “Jesus of Nazareth”, Jesus reply was “Ego Ami” (Grk.) “I AM he”. (Jn. 18:5) Little did the guards realize just

Examination of Jesus' Death INTRODUCTION I am going to write a detailed account that examines and investigates the trials of Jesus; I will be examining the events that took place between the time Jesus was arrested up till he was crucified. I will also be looking at the roles of certain people and how their actions influenced and affected the Course of Jesus' life? THE ROLE OF JUDAS ISCARIOT On the night Jesus was to be arrested he went to a place called the garden of Gethsemane
all-powerful Jesus, with very few humanistic characteristics. Matthew 2:3, “at this news King Herod became greatly disturbed.” I thought the king would be happy to hear about the birth of Jesus. Apparently the kings intentions were not very nice. I really find this passage interesting, mainly because it separates God from the kingdom. Meaning the King has power and is afraid of losing it to the Son of God. Matthew’s description of healing is very interesting; he gives Jesus more powers then
The Crucifixion of Jesus Christ Many subjects have been spoken of over the history human beings. For some time it may have a world war, at other times a great recession, in another day it would have been a very fast athlete, at others the final match of Champions League and many more. Yet in all these occurrences that grip the human mind for some time there is no occurrence more spoken than the crucifixion of a man called Jesus Christ (Zugibe 33). His crucifixion has even been a study for the entire
The presentation of Jesus Christ in Mel Gibson’ The Passion of the Christ, while certainly dramatized, largely stays faithful to the presentation of Jesus in the canonical Gospels. The majority of the differences between this film and the Gospels can be considered creative choices that do not substantially change the narrative, making this film by and large an accurate representation of the scenes in the Bible. However, its near-exclusive focus on Jesus’ trial and death omits much of the context
reader believe that Jesus is the Christ, Son of God, and that in believing in Him you may have life in his name. From John’s perspective there are many occasions where he creates a “narrative” which provides a teaching point to the reader and he portrays a fascinating theme of light versus dark. This is most apparent, more so than any other, in John’s “narrative” in the “story” of Nicodemus. Before one can delve into the natural progression of Nicodemus as a believer in Jesus Christ, Son of God
stripes we should have received. These are only a few signs that the Servant of the Lord was none other than Jesus Christ. When God the Father raised Jesus from the dead, it was a demonstration that He accepted His suffering and death as full payment for sin for all who believe in Him (Rom. 4:25). Additional confirmation is found in the Servant’s arrest, which correlates to Jesus’s arrest in the Garden of
Judas is a depiction of the moment when Judas betrayed Jesus, following the last supper. There are twenty-one faces within the painting and eighteen raised clubs, spears, and torched, giving the notion that there is at least forty people within the crowd. Most of the men in the painting are solders who are there to arrest Jesus, including the high priest who
narrates about the scene of Jesus walking along the Sea of Galilee, and it seemed as if Jesus was walking beside the lake of Galilee preaching the kingdom of God, he saw fishermen in the lake fishing in their boats. He saw two brothers Simon and Andrew, who were casting the net into the sea to catch some fishes. It seems as if Jesus was familiar with these brothers, as when he [Jesus] was baptised by John the Baptist, Andrew was a disciple of John (John 1:35-41) so Jesus calling them to follow him
Jesus’ Parables of the “Old Wine” Luke 5:33-39 Thesis Conventional interpretation of the text regarding Luke 5:33-39 has widely been deduced as a series of parables whose meaning spoke to the New covenant as the “new wine” and the Old covenant as the “old wine”. This was true even though the recitation of these parables follows Jesus being questioned concerning the fasting practices of the Pharisees and John the Baptist and his disciples, as compared with the lack of fasting by Jesus and his disciples
