It occurred shortly after the Last Supper (during which Jesus gave his final sermon), and immediately after the kiss of Judas, which is traditionally said to have been an act of betrayal since Judas made a deal with the chief priests to arrest Jesus. The event ultimately led, in the Gospel accounts, to Jesus's crucifixion. The nature of this video is epistemological, mostly in the sense that we'll try to organize a professional framework to establish the distinction between justified belief and opinion, through a deep dive into the historical, cultural, and linguistic context, including a brief review of the main areas of Roman law interested, both substantive and procedural, and how the legal system interacted occupied territories and provincial Roman life. There will be things you'll hear here today for the first time, That is because we will not just use English translation of scripture, but we will see exactly what words were used in the original language through exegesis and interlinear textual analysis. As we are talking about his arrest, of course this is not a video where we wish to discuss whether historical Jesus existed or not. I've already made a video about that topic, and I side with those scholars and historians who do believe Jesus existed. If you don't, I respect that but for this video you'll have to allow me the premise here that he did in fact exist.

The arrest of Jesus was a pivotal event in Christianity. Occurring shortly after the Last Supper. According to the canonical gospels, after the Last Supper, Jesus and his disciples went out to the garden Gethsemane. But even though the gospels say similar things, they don't all say the exact same thing, and the problem alluded to is the fact that there is one word specifically in Greek that I'd like to focus our attention on today. This word. Matthew 26,47-56; Mark14,43-52,15; Luke 22,47-53; John 18,1-11 The Military Context Whether you be a christian or not, I think we are all familiar with Jesus' arrest. You may have read it, or maybe you've seen in in a film representation. Usually we tend to focus out attention to the main players of this occurance, Jesus and Judas. Judas accompained by Roman guards, reaches the garden. Once Jesus is identified with the kiss, or by him speaking out depending on the version, we imagine the Roman guards making the arrest. Let me ask you a question. While I was describing this event you were probably imagining it in your mind. When you heard the sentence "Judas accompained by Roman guards, reaches the garden". How many guards did you imagine? 2? 10? Let's see what the scripture tells us in English first. οχλος | Abarim Publications Theological Dictionary (New Testament Greek) (abarim-publications.com) The three synoptic gospels use a rather vague word, crowd. But definitely if it's a crowd the number is significant already. Luke However doesn't. He is MUCH more specific in the original langauge. But one thing at a time. Let's first double check the word crowd in Greek. In the original Greek text we have this word. Ok so what does Luke say? In Luke the word used is consistently mistranslated, and that's where my team and I can bring some good textual analysis to the table here What I'm about to tell you sheds lights to the event and will engage the socio cultural and political implication behind it. The best and most coherent translation in period of this word, is cohort and I'm adamant about it. Show all the different versions of the verse John 18:12 #metatron #jesus #bible
