Peter’s Second Gospel Proclamation, Part 1

Posted on May 21, 2021 by admin

Peter^[1] and John were going up to the temple at the time for prayer…^[2] They met a beggar lame from birth. Peter said (Acts 3:6-8 NET):

“I have no silver or gold, but what I do have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, stand up and walk!” Then Peter took hold of him by the right hand and raised him^[3] up, and at once the man’s feet and ankles^[4] were made strong. He jumped up, stood and began walking around, and he entered the temple courts with them, walking and leaping and praising God.

For the kingdom of God is demonstrated not in idle talk but with power (δυνάμει, a form of δύναμις),^[5] Paul wrote his dear children in Corinth. As a crowd gathered, Peter declared to the people (Acts 3:12-16 NET):

“Men of Israel, why are you amazed at this? Why do you stare at us as if we had made this man walk by our own power (δυνάμει, a form of δύναμις) or piety [Table]? The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our forefathers, has glorified his servant Jesus, whom you^[6] handed over and rejected^[7] in the presence of Pilate after he had decided to release him. But you rejected the Holy and Righteous One and asked that a man who was a murderer be released to you. You killed the Originator of life, whom God raised from the dead. To this fact we are witnesses! And on the basis of faith in Jesus’ name, his very name has made this man—whom you see and know—strong. The faith that is through Jesus has given him this complete health in the presence of you all.

Peter denied that the power to heal the lame man was his own, rather it was the power of the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of [their] forefathers. And it was done for an explicit reason: to glorify his servant Jesus. Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, Jesus asked, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’^[8] or to say, ‘Stand up,^[9] take your stretcher, and walk’?^[10] Peter followed Jesus’ example here. He was quite clear which Jesus he referred to, and which sin. I want to spend some time here recalling this rejection of Jesus.

Then Pilate called together the chief priests, the leaders, and the people, and said to them, “You brought me this man as one who was misleading the people. When I examined him before you, I did not^[11] find this man guilty of anything you accused him of doing. (Luke 23:13, 14 NET)
“I find no basis for an accusation against him. (John 18:38b NET)
Neither did Herod, for he sent him back to us.^[12] Look, he has done nothing deserving death. I will therefore have him flogged and release him.”^[13] (Luke 23:15, 16 NET)
But it is your custom that I release one prisoner for you at the Passover. (John 18:39a NET)
Matthew 27:15, 16 NET		Mark 15:6-8 NET
During the feast the governor was accustomed to release one prisoner to the crowd, whomever they wanted. At that time they had in custody a notorious prisoner named Jesus^[14] Barabbas.		During the feast it was customary to release one prisoner to the people, whomever they requested.^[15] A man named Barabbas was imprisoned with rebels^[16] who had committed murder during an insurrection.
		Then the crowd came up^[17] and began to ask Pilate to release a prisoner for them, as was^[18] his custom.
Matthew 27:17 NET		Mark 15:9 NET	John 18:39b NET
So after they had assembled, Pilate said to them, “Whom do you want me to release for you, Jesus^[19] Barabbas or Jesus who is called the Christ?”		So Pilate asked them, “Do you want me to release the king of the Jews for you?”	So do you want me to release for you the king of the Jews?”
Matthew 27:18-21a NET		Mark 15:10, 11 NET
(For he knew that they had handed him over because of envy.)		(For he knew that the chief priests had handed him over because of envy.)
As he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent a message to him: “Have nothing to do with that innocent man; I have suffered greatly as a result of a dream about him today.”
But the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowds to ask for Barabbas		But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have him release Barabbas instead.
and to have Jesus killed. The governor asked them, “Which of the two do you want me to release for you?”
Matthew 27:21b NET	Luke 23:18, 19 NET		John 18:40 NET
And they said,^[20] “Barabbas!”	But they all shouted out^[21] together, “Take this man away! Release Barabbas^[22] for us!” (This was a man who had been thrown into prison^[23] for an insurrection started in the city, and for murder.)		Then they shouted back, “Not this man, but Barabbas!” (Now Barabbas was a revolutionary.)
Then Pilate took Jesus and had him flogged severely. The soldiers braided a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and they clothed him in a purple robe. They came up to him again and again^[24] and said, “Hail, king of the Jews!” And they struck him repeatedly in the face. Again^[25] Pilate went out and said to the Jewish leaders, “Look, I am bringing him out to you, so that you may know that I find no reason for an accusation against him.” So Jesus came outside, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. (John 19:1-5a NET)
Matthew 27:22 NET	Mark 15:12, 13 NET	Luke 23:20, 21 NET	John 19:5b, 6a NET
Pilate said to them,	So Pilate spoke^[26] to them again,	Pilate^[27] addressed them^[28] once again	Pilate said to them,
		because he wanted to release Jesus.
			“Look,^[29] here is the man!”
“Then what should I do with Jesus who is called the Christ?”	“Then what do you want me to do with the one you call king^[30] of the Jews?”
They all said,^[31] “Crucify him!”	They shouted back, “Crucify him!”	But they kept on shouting, “Crucify, crucify^[32] him!”	When the chief priests and their officers saw him, they shouted out, “Crucify him! Crucify him!”^[33]
Pilate said, “You take him and crucify him! Certainly I find no reason for an accusation against him!” The Jewish leaders replied, “We have a law, and according to our^[34] law he ought to die because he claimed to be the Son of God!” When Pilate heard what they said, he was more afraid than ever, and he went back into the governor’s residence and said to Jesus, “Where do you come from?” But Jesus gave him no answer. So Pilate said, “Do you refuse to speak to me? Don’t you know I have the authority to release you and to crucify you?” Jesus^[35] replied,^[36] “You would have no authority over me at all, unless it was given to you from above. Therefore the one who handed me over^[37] to you is guilty of greater sin.” From this point on, Pilate tried to release him. But the Jewish leaders shouted out,^[38] “If you release this man, you are no friend of Caesar! Everyone who claims to be^[39] a king opposes Caesar!” When Pilate heard these words^[40] he brought Jesus outside and sat down on the judgment seat^[41] in the place called “The Stone Pavement” (Gabbatha in Aramaic). (Now it was the day of preparation for the Passover, about^[42] noon.) Pilate said to the Jewish leaders, “Look, here is your king!” Then they^[43] shouted out, “Away with him! Away with him! Crucify him!” (John 19:6b-15a NET)
Matthew 27:23 NET	Mark 15:14 NET	Luke 23:22, 23 NET	John 19:15b NET
He^[44] asked, “Why? What wrong has he done?”	Pilate asked them, “Why? What has he done wrong?”	A third time he said to them, “Why? What wrong has he done?
			Pilate asked, “Shall I crucify your king?” The high priests replied, “We have no king except Caesar!”
		I have found him guilty of no crime deserving death. I will therefore flog him and release him.”
But they shouted more insistently, “Crucify him!”	But they shouted more insistently,^[45] “Crucify him!”	But they were insistent, demanding with loud shouts that he be crucified. And their shouts^[46] prevailed.
When Pilate saw that he could do nothing, but that instead a riot was starting, he took some water, washed his hands before the crowd and said, “I am innocent of this man’s^[47] blood. You take care of it yourselves!” In reply all the people said, “Let his blood be on us and on our children!” (Matthew 27:24, 25 NET)
Matthew 27:26 NET	Mark 15:15 NET	Luke 23:24, 25 NET	John 19:16a NET
		So^[48] Pilate decided that their demand should be granted.
	Because he wanted to satisfy the crowd,
Then he released Barabbas for them.	Pilate released Barabbas for them.	He released^[49] the man they asked for, who had been thrown in prison^[50] for insurrection and murder.
But after he had Jesus flogged,	Then, after he had Jesus flogged,
he handed him over to be crucified.	he handed him over to be crucified.	But he handed Jesus over to their will.	Then Pilate handed him over to them to be crucified.

This Gospel harmony is certainly debatable. I haven’t even tried to resolve when or how often Jesus was flogged. My interest here was to highlight the emotional contrast between the fire and brimstone condemnation anticipated by the religious mind for such rejection of Jesus, and the mind of Christ revealed through Peter’s words (Acts 3:17 NET):

And now, brothers, I know you acted in ignorance (ἄγνοιαν, a form of ἄγνοια), as your rulers did too.

Paul acknowledged that he was treated with mercy because [he] acted ignorantly (ἀγνοῶν, a form of ἀγνοέω) in unbelief (ἀπιστίᾳ).^[51] And it was Paul who wrote that God has consigned all people to disobedience (ἀπείθειαν, a form of ἀπείθεια) so that he may show mercy to them all.^[52]

The Jewish leaders replied, “We have a law, and according to our law he ought to die because he claimed to be the Son of God!”

The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.

Mark 15:12 (NET)	Mark 15:12 (KJV)
So Pilate spoke to them again, “Then what do you want me to do with the one you call king of the Jews?”	And Pilate answered and said again unto them, What will ye then that I shall do unto him whom ye call the King of the Jews?

John 19:11-16 (NET)	John 19:11-16 (KJV)
Jesus replied, “You would have no authority over me at all, unless it was given to you from above. Therefore the one who handed me over to you is guilty of greater sin.”	Jesus answered, Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin.

From this point on, Pilate tried to release him. But the Jewish leaders shouted out, “If you release this man, you are no friend of Caesar! Everyone who claims to be a king opposes Caesar!”

And from thenceforth Pilate sought to release him: but the Jews cried out, saying, If thou let this man go, thou art not Caesar’s friend: whosoever maketh himself a king speaketh against Caesar.

When Pilate heard these words he brought Jesus outside and sat down on the judgment seat in the place called “The Stone Pavement” (Gabbatha in Aramaic).

When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he brought Jesus forth, and sat down in the judgment seat in a place that is called the Pavement, but in the Hebrew, Gabbatha.

(Now it was the day of preparation for the Passover, about noon.) Pilate said to the Jewish leaders, “Look, here is your king!”

And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King!

Then they shouted out, “Away with him! Away with him! Crucify him!” Pilate asked, “Shall I crucify your king?” The high priests replied, “We have no king except Caesar!”

But they cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar.

Then Pilate handed him over to them to be crucified. So they took Jesus,

Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him away.

Father, Forgive Them – Part 5

Posted on December 28, 2018 by admin

Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.^[1] “That’s me,” I responded as I read that this time. The Greek word translated enemies was ἐχθρούς (a form of ἐχθρός). For if while we were enemies (ἐχθροὶ, another form of ἐχθρός), Paul wrote believers in Rome, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, how much more, since we have been reconciled, will we be saved by his life?^[2] But I’d never thought of it this way before.

I had vaguely assumed that making his enemies a footstool referenced Jesus as He treads the wine press of the fierce wrath of God, the Almighty.^[3] As I looked at other quotations of Psalm 110:1 in the New Testament it made a little sense why I had thought that.

NET and Parallel Greek
Matthew 22:44	Mark 12:36b	Luke 20:42b, 43	Acts 2:34b, 35	Hebrews 1:13b
‘*The^[4] Lord said to my lord,* “*Sit at my right hand,* *until I put your enemies under^[5] your feet*”’?	‘*The^[6] Lord said^[7] to my lord,* “*Sit at my right hand,* *until I put your enemies under^[8] your feet*.”’	‘*The^[9] Lord said to my lord,* “*Sit at my right hand,*	‘*The Lord said to my lord,* “*Sit at my right hand*	“*Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet*”?
		*until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet*.”’	*until I make your enemies a footstool* for your feet.”’
εἶπεν κύριος τῷ κυρίῳ μου κάθου ἐκ δεξιῶν μου, ἕως ἂν θῶ τοὺς ἐχθρούς σου ὑποκάτω τῶν ποδῶν σου	εἶπεν κύριος τῷ κυρίῳ μου κάθου ἐκ δεξιῶν μου, ἕως ἂν θῶ τοὺς ἐχθρούς σου ὑποκάτω τῶν ποδῶν σου	εἶπεν κύριος τῷ κυρίῳ μου κάθου ἐκ δεξιῶν μου	εἶπεν [ὁ] κύριος τῷ κυρίῳ μου κάθου ἐκ δεξιῶν μου	κάθου ἐκ δεξιῶν μου, ἕως ἂν θῶ τοὺς ἐχθρούς σου ὑποπόδιον τῶν ποδῶν σου
		ἕως ἂν θῶ τοὺς ἐχθρούς σου ὑποπόδιον τῶν ποδῶν σου	ἕως ἂν θῶ τοὺς ἐχθρούς σου ὑποπόδιον τῶν ποδῶν σου

There was another allusion to Psalm 110:1 in Hebrews 10:12, 13 (NET):

But when this priest^[10] had offered one sacrifice for sins for all time, he sat down at the right hand of God, where he is now waiting until his enemies are made a footstool for his feet.

There are some differences from the Septuagint mostly related to the changes from present to past tense, and from second and first to third person:

Hebrews 10:12b (NET Parallel Greek)	Psalm 110:1a (Septuagint BLB)	Psalm 109:1a (Septuagint Elpenor)
ἐκάθισεν ἐν δεξιᾷ τοῦ θεοῦ	κάθου ἐκ δεξιῶν μου	κάθου ἐκ δεξιῶν μου

Hebrews 10:13b (NET Parallel Greek)	Psalm 110:1b (Septuagint BLB)	Psalm 109:1b (Septuagint Elpenor)
ἕως τεθῶσιν οἱ ἐχθροὶ αὐτοῦ ὑποπόδιον τῶν ποδῶν αὐτοῦ	ἕως ἂν θῶ τοὺς ἐχθρούς σου ὑποπόδιον τῶν ποδῶν σου	ἕως ἂν θῶ τοὺς ἐχθρούς σου ὑποπόδιον τῶν ποδῶν σου

The noun ὑποπόδιον (footstool) in Hebrews 1:13, and 10:13, Acts 2:35 and Luke 20:43 was replaced by the adverb ὑποκάτω (under) in Matthew 22:44 and Mark 12:36. The Stephanus Textus Receptus and Byzantine Majority Text had ὑποπόδιον in both cases (Table1 and Table2) as did both versions of the Septuagint.

Matthew 22:44 (NET Parallel Greek)	Psalm 110:1 (Septuagint BLB)	Psalm 109:1 (Septuagint Elpenor)
εἶπεν κύριος τῷ κυρίῳ μου κάθου ἐκ δεξιῶν μου, ἕως ἂν θῶ τοὺς ἐχθρούς σου ὑποκάτω τῶν ποδῶν σου	εἶπεν ὁ κύριος τῷ κυρίῳ μου κάθου ἐκ δεξιῶν μου ἕως ἂν θῶ τοὺς ἐχθρούς σου ὑποπόδιον τῶν ποδῶν σου	ΕΙΠΕΝ ὁ Κύριος τῷ Κυρίῳ μου· κάθου ἐκ δεξιῶν μου, ἕως ἂν θῶ τοὺς ἐχθρούς σου ὑποπόδιον τῶν ποδῶν σου

Mark 12:36b (NET Parallel Greek)	Psalm 110:1 (Septuagint BLB)	Psalm 109:1 (Septuagint Elpenor)
εἶπεν κύριος τῷ κυρίῳ μου κάθου ἐκ δεξιῶν μου, ἕως ἂν θῶ τοὺς ἐχθρούς σου ὑποκάτω τῶν ποδῶν σου	εἶπεν ὁ κύριος τῷ κυρίῳ μου κάθου ἐκ δεξιῶν μου ἕως ἂν θῶ τοὺς ἐχθρούς σου ὑποπόδιον τῶν ποδῶν σου	ΕΙΠΕΝ ὁ Κύριος τῷ Κυρίῳ μου· κάθου ἐκ δεξιῶν μου, ἕως ἂν θῶ τοὺς ἐχθρούς σου ὑποπόδιον τῶν ποδῶν σου

The Hebrew was הדם (hădôm) and לרגליך (regel), also translated footstool in the Tanakh.

From Hebrew		From Greek
Psalm 110:1 (Tanakh)	Psalm 110:1 (KJV)	Psalm 109:1 (NETS)	Psalm 109:1 (Elpenor English)
The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.	The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.	The Lord said to my lord, “Sit on my right until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.”	The Lord said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.

According to Strong’s Concordance הדם (hădôm) was “From an unused root meaning to stamp upon.” Paul alluded to Psalm 8:6 (1 Corinthians 15:24-28 NET; Table):

Then comes the end, when [Jesus] hands over the kingdom to God the Father, when he has brought to an end all rule and all authority and power. For he must reign until^[11] he has put^[12] all his enemies under his feet. The last enemy to be eliminated is death. For he has put everything in subjection under his feet. But when it says “everything” has been put in subjection, it is clear that this does not include the one who put everything in subjection to him. And when all things are subjected to him, then the Son himself will be subjected to the one who subjected everything to him, so that God may be all in all.

Though Paul used ὑπὸ here both versions of the Septuagint had ὑποκάτω. The other differences are accounted for by switching from 2^nd to 3^rd person and from the genitive to the accusative case.

1 Corinthians 15:27a (NET Parallel Greek)	Psalm 8:6b (Septuagint BLB)	Psalm 8:7b (Septuagint Elpenor)
πάντα γὰρ ὑπέταξεν ὑπὸ τοὺς πόδας αὐτοῦ	σου πάντα ὑπέταξας ὑποκάτω τῶν ποδῶν αὐτοῦ	σου· πάντα ὑπέταξας ὑποκάτω τῶν ποδῶν αὐτοῦ

Though I didn’t realize it before I did this study, the first verse of Psalm 8 in the Elpenor version of the Septuagint reads: Εἰς τὸ τέλος, ὑπὲρ τῶν ληνῶν· ψαλμὸς τῷ Δαυΐδ (“For the end, concerning the wine-presses, a Psalm of David”). The writer of Hebrews quoted Psalm 8:6, You put all things under his control,^[13] including ὑποκάτω (under).

Hebrews 2:8a (NET Parallel Greek)	Psalm 8:6b (Septuagint BLB)	Psalm 8:7b (Septuagint Elpenor)
πάντα ὑπέταξας ὑποκάτω τῶν ποδῶν αὐτοῦ	σου πάντα ὑπέταξας ὑποκάτω τῶν ποδῶν αὐτοῦ	σου· πάντα ὑπέταξας ὑποκάτω τῶν ποδῶν αὐτοῦ

Yet this time for some inexplicable reason as I read—Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet—the planet-sized hassock of corpses evaporated back into my imagination as I recognized that Jesus’ planet-sized footstool is made of living people, people like Mary.

Now it was Mary^[14] who anointed the Lord with perfumed oil and wiped his feet dry with her hair.^[15] I imagine it was just as inexplicable to her that she, a sinner, when she learned^[16] that Jesus was dining^[17] at the Pharisee’s house…brought an alabaster jar of perfumed oil;^[18] weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears. She wiped them with her hair, kissed them, and anointed them with the perfumed oil.^[19]

Jesus explained the inexplicable: No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him…It is written in the prophets, ‘And they will all be taught by^[20] God.’ Everyone^[21] who hears^[22] and learns from the Father comes to me.^[23] I had misunderstood this as a severe limitation to my whosoever-will-may-come belief. But the Holy Spirit contrasted it to the difficulty those willful few had finding their own way through the rituals of old covenant religion. How^[24] narrow is the gate and difficult the way that leads to life, Jesus summarized, and there are few who find it!^[25]

Mary^[26]…sat^[27] at^[28] the Lord’s^[29] feet and listened to what he said.^[30] And again, Mary^[31] took three quarters of a pound of expensive aromatic oil from pure nard and anointed the feet of Jesus^[32] about a week before his crucifixion.

I was formerly^[33] a blasphemer and a persecutor, and an arrogant man, the apostle Paul confessed. But^[34] I was treated with mercy because I acted ignorantly (ἀγνοῶν, a form of ἀγνοέω) in unbelief, and our Lord’s grace was abundant, bringing faith and love in Christ Jesus.^[35] Father, forgive them, Jesus prayed, for they don’t know what they are doing.^[36] The Greek word translated know was οἴδασιν (a form of εἴδω; see). They didn’t see what they were doing. They acted ignorantly in unbelief (ἀπιστίᾳ).

When Jesus appeared to Paul (a.k.a. Saul) as a blinding light on the road to Damascus, He said, You are hurting (σκληρόν, a form of σκληρός) yourself by kicking against the goads.^[37] Paul’s religious mind fought so hard against that inexplicable drawing of God—denying what he was taught, heard and learned from the Father so completely—that the risen and ascended Lord Jesus was concerned about the harm he caused himself. And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, Jesus had promised, will draw all people to myself,^[38] even an angry jihadist like Saul.

This should not be forgotten though we may be more aware of what God’s abundant grace bringing faith and love in Christ Jesus made of him: for the one bringing forth in you both the desire and the effort, Paul wrote from experience (Colossians 1:28, 29), for the sake of his good pleasure – is God.^[39]

I had begun to hear—Father, forgive them, for they don’t know what they are doing—as something more than a limited and local prayer. I regard it, in fact, as the singularly relevant prayer of a salvation that does not depend on human desire or exertion, but on God who shows mercy.^[40] But I was uncertain of God the Father’s answer to that prayer until that day I heard, Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet. His enemies made into his footstool was Jesus’ joy (Hebrews 12:2b NET):

For the joy set out for him he endured the cross, disregarding its shame, and has taken his seat^[41] at the right hand of the throne of God.
