What are the three main discourses recorded in the Bible?

Which disciple objects to Jesus’ washing of his feet?

Peter

What principle does Jesus teach Peter concerning the necessity of his feet being washed?

Jesus’ reaction was to point out that Peter did not have all the information concerning this event (vs. 7) and that if he would not allow this, then Peter had no part with Him (vs. 8).

 A key to harmonizing the fact that all sins of a believer are forgiven at salvation (Psalm 103:12; Isaiah 43:25) with his continual need to confess sins after salvation After Peter requests that Jesus wash his whole body, Jesus responds by informing Peter that he only needed his feet “washed” because he was already “washed” wholly (vs. 10; pun intended ).

How do we know that “Foot Washing” should not be considered an ordinance of the church?

the symbolism of the event. The second reason deals with its compliance. The final reason concerns its practice in the early church.

Identify the following actions recorded in John 13 with the proper disciple (some answers may be used more than once).

Objected to Jesus' washing his feet- Peter

Given a piece of dipped bread - Judas

Silently requested the identity of Jesus' betrayer- Peter

Discovered the identity of Jesus' betrayer- John

The only two disciples recorded as following Jesus to His first trial were Peter and John John still accompanied Jesus in the room during trial while Peter cautiously waited outside & when asked by a little girl if he was a disciple of Jesus, he responded in the negative

How did Pilate try to release Jesus?

Jesus is declared innocent by Pilate and attempts to substitute Him for Barabbas Since Pilate‟s announcement of Jesus as innocent was not enough to appease the Jews, he then determines to appeal to their own tradition of loosing one prisoner prior to the Passover

What was the Roman process of scourging and crucifixion?

Scourging: After being tied naked to a post, the individual would be whipped with an instrument known as a “cat of nine tails.” This whip had nine endings full of sharp instruments intended to cut, tear, and rip the flesh off a prisoner. Although the Jews limited a whipping to 39 times, it is not recorded that the Romans had a limit; therefore, we have no idea the exact number which Jesus had to endure

Crucifixion: Crucifixion was a form of execution generally used by Rome to punish those guilty of capital offenses. It involved tying or nailing an individual to a cross in such a way as to suspend the body by the arms, resulting in a slow suffocation of the prisoner. Often the crucified man would use his legs for support, thus slowing the process of death. There are records of men who hung on the cross for up to nine days awaiting inevitable death. When the soldiers wanted the condemned to die faster, they would break his legs with a heavy mallet, making it impossible for the prisoner to support himself.

How did the Jews react to Pilate’s pronouncement of Jesus as their “King”?

Amazingly, these Jews transferred all allegiance from Israel to Rome by declaring that their only king was Caesar

Who does John record as present at Jesus’ crucifixion and what conversation transpired between Him and them?

Jesus‟ clothes are divided among four soldiers Jesus delegates care for his mother to John the apostle Mary (His mother), Mary (His aunt and mother of James and John), Mary (of Magdala whom He cast out seven demons), and John the apostle. In this address Jesus delegates the care of Mary to John (vs. 27) and affinity from John to Mary

What is the significance in the confirmation of Jesus’ death?

This prevented the soldiers from breaking Jesus‟ legs, thereby fulfilling the prophecies of Ps. 34:20 and Zech. 12:10.

What is the timeline of Jesus’ revelation of Himself after the resurrection as recorded by John?

Jesus is found missing from Joseph of Arimathea‟s tomb

Jesus appears before Thomas

What was Peter’s reaction to the Savior’s presence on the shore while they were fishing?

Peter put on his shirt and jumped into the water to go see Jesus

In John 21, what is the significance of Jesus and Peter’s conversation on the shore?

First Peter‟s level of commitment to Jesus

• The direct grammatical context of this passage demonstrates that it was because Jesus wanted to raise the “love level” of Peter toward Him.

Second to his occupation.

• Peter‟s occupation was going to transform from “fisherman” to “fisher of men” and these sheep would be future believers

What news does Jesus give Peter at the end of John’s gospel account?
