Before starting this Course:

 

 

Overview of The Gospel of John:

The Gospel of John is written by one of Jesus Christ’s disciples, John, the son of Zebedee. This Gospel is 21 Chapters long.  John is described as the “Disciple of Whom Jesus loved”.  It has been determined by biblical scholars that John wrote The Gospel of John (also known as “According to John”).

  It was written around A.D. 80-90, about 50 years after he witnesses Jesus’ earthly ministry under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit and as an eyewitness in composing the gospel. He is not John the Baptist. However, in this book, John the Baptist is discussed.   

The Gospel of John explains who Jesus Christ is before creation. It establishes his deity as Creator of the World, The Father (I AM), and is the long-awaited Messiah, the Son of God in the flesh.

Its purpose is to explain that even though Jesus is the Creator and God (I AM), believers are to understand that Jesus is the Son of God that came in the flesh and yet while we were sinners, died for our sins and rose again to become Savior of the World-reconnecting us to God. That is why we pray to the father in Jesus Christ’s name. 

Defeating death and sin by the shedding of his blood and life, Jesus gives the gift of everlasting life with repentance. That by believing you may have life in his name (20:31)  John 3:16  “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” 

God is omnipresent meaning he can be in more than one place at the same time. He can be on earth (flesh) and in heaven (spirit) at the same time. 

 Revelation 19:6  “And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thundering, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigns.”  

Isaiah 9:6 “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son, is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.”

Overview of Chapter Nineteen

John Chapter 19 describes the events leading to the crucifixion of Jesus. His suffering to His final moments on the cross.  Jesus fulfillment of scripture and His ultimate sacrifice for humanity.  You will gain a deeper understanding of the significance of Jesus’ death and how His sacrifice offers salvation to all who believe. 

In this chapter, Pilate orders Jesus to be scourged, and soldiers place a crown of thorns on His head and dress Him in a purple robe to mock Him. When the Jewish leaders demand His death, claiming He made Himself equal to God, Pilate hands Jesus over to be crucified. Jesus carries His cross to Golgotha, also known as “the place of a skull,” where He is crucified between two others.

Pilate places a sign on the cross reading, “JESUS OF NAZARETH, KING OF THE JEWS.” While on the cross, Jesus entrusts the care of His mother, Mary, to His disciple John. Knowing that His mission is complete, Jesus says, “It is finished,” and gives up His spirit. Soldiers cast lots for His garments, fulfilling prophecy, and His bones are left unbroken, also as prophesied.

After His death, Joseph of Arimathea asks Pilate for Jesus’ body. Nicodemus brings myrrh and aloes, and together they prepare Jesus’ body, wrapping it in linen with spices, following Jewish burial customs. Jesus is then placed in a new tomb in a garden. Jesus’ death on Friday, known as “Good Friday,” marks the fulfillment of God’s promise of salvation.

Note: The next lesson, teaches Easter Sunday, the day Jesus rose from the grave. The day the work on the cross was completed and Salvation was given to man. Jesus reconnected man back to God.

Reflection and Discussion

How do you feel about someone dying in the way Jesus was executed?   There is a lot of unjust in the world but know you have a savior that has suffered all human experiences. He can relate to everything you go through.  Therefore, if God brings you to it. Trust, he will bring you through it.

Highlights  Chapter of Gospel of John: Chapter Nineteen  (KJV)  Answers to Objectives and Quiz.

 

 

 1.  Manifestation of the fulfillment of the prophecy of Jesus’, the messiah’s death.  The scripture is fulfilled: Jesus crucifixion, the casting of lots for his clothes, no bones are broken, and Jesus’ death. 

19:28  ²⁸After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst. 

²⁹Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a spunge with vinegar, and put it upon hyssop, and put it to his mouth.

³⁰When Jesus, therefore, had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.

³¹And if any man ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say unto him, Because the Lord hath need of him. 

 

19:32-36   ³²Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other which was crucified with him. 

³³But when they came to Jesus and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs:

³⁴But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water. 

³⁵And he that saw it bare record, and his record is true: and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye might believe. 

³⁶For these things were done, that the scripture should be fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken.                               

 

19:37   ³⁷And again another scripture saith, They shall look on him whom they pierced.   

16:32   ³²Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is now come, that ye shall be scattered, every man to his own, and shall leave me alone: and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me. 

^{19: 33}These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. 

2. The reason the Jews wanted Jesus Christ to be crucified. 

^{John 19: 6-8    6}When the chief priests therefore and officers saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Take ye him, and crucify him: for I find no fault in him. ⁷The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law, he ought to die because he made himself the Son of God. ⁸When Pilate, therefore, heard that saying, he was the more afraid; 

Scripture Reading  Chapter 19

¹Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged him.

 ²And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and they put on him a purple robe, 

³And said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they smote him with their hands. 

⁴Pilate therefore went forth again, and saith unto them, Behold, I bring him forth to you, that ye may know that I find no fault in him. 

⁵Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And Pilate saith unto them, Behold the man!

 ⁶When the chief priests therefore and officers saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Take ye him, and crucify him: for I find no fault in him. 

⁷The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.

⁸When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he was the more afraid; 

⁹And went again into the judgment hall, and saith unto Jesus, Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer.

 ¹⁰Then saith Pilate unto him, Speakest thou not unto me? knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and have power to release thee? 

¹¹Jesus 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.

¹²And 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.

¹³When 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.

¹⁴And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King!

¹⁵But 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.

 ¹⁶Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him away.

 ¹⁷And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha: 

¹⁸Where they crucified him, and two other with him, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst. 

¹⁹And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was, JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS.

²⁰This title then read many of the Jews: for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city: and it was written in Hebrew, and Greek, and Latin.

²¹Then said the chief priests of the Jews to Pilate, Write not, The King of the Jews; but that he said, I am King of the Jews.

²²Pilate answered, What I have written I have written.

²³Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also his coat: now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout.

²⁴They said therefore among themselves, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, They parted my raiment among them, and for my vesture they did cast lots. These things therefore the soldiers did.

²⁵Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene.

²⁶When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son

²⁷Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home.

²⁸After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst.

²⁹Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a spunge with vinegar, and put it upon hyssop, and put it to his mouth.

 ³⁰When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost

. ³¹The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that sabbath day was an high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away. 

³²Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other which was crucified with him.

 ³³But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs: 

³⁴But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water. 

³⁵And he that saw it bare record, and his record is true: and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye might believe.

³⁶For these things were done, that the scripture should be fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken.

³⁷And again another scripture saith, They shall look on him whom they pierced. 

³⁸And after this Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate gave him leave. He came therefore, and took the body of Jesus. 

³⁹And there came also Nicodemus, which at the first came to Jesus by night, and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about an hundred pound weight. 

⁴⁰Then took they the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen clothes with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury. 

⁴¹Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden; and in the garden a new sepulchre, wherein was never man yet laid. 

⁴²There laid they Jesus therefore because of the Jews’ preparation day; for the sepulchre was nigh at hand.

 ⁴³For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side, 

⁴⁴And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation. 

⁴⁵And he went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold therein, and them that bought; 

⁴⁶Saying unto them, It is written, My house is the house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of thieves. 

⁴⁷And he taught daily in the temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the chief of the people sought to destroy him, 

⁴⁸And could not find what they might do: for all the people were very attentive to hear him.

Call to salvation:

John 3:16  “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”

Romans 10:9-10  9That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness, and with the mouth, confession is made unto salvation. 

John 3:5-6  5Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 6That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is the Spirit.
