d. 22:50 And a certain one of them struck the bondman of the high priest, and struck off his :right :ear.

And a certain maid seeing him as he was sitting in the light,

LEgon, Ep' a-leTHEIas kai HOUtos met' auTOU en; kai gar Ga-liLAI-OS es-tin.

EIpen de ho PEtros, ANthro-pe, ouk OIda ho LEgeis.

c. 22:65 And many other things they spoke against him reviling.

kai HEte-ra polLA blas-pheMOUNtes [987]Ele-gon eis auTON.


NOTE: (2010-12-30) - 22:39-46 - Jesus' Agony in the Garden - The English word “Agony” comes from the Greek word “a-goNIa”. It is used for runners in a Marathon race. The closing miles put the runners into agony. Jesus in prayer in the Garden was in this state. Probably few others have ever prayed with such intensity as our Lord, whose sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling to the ground. He knewthat soon when placed upon the Cross, the curse announced upon any hanging on the tree, would come upon Him - and He who knew no sin would be made sinfor us, and become separated from God for the first time. The foreknowledge of this was so terrible, that as the Son of :man, He temporarily sought the help of God to avoid it. Thispart of His passion Mel Gibson missed in his movie “The Passion of the Christ.” He saw only the physical suffering which was bad enough - but it was coming spiritual death that was so difficult for God's Messiah to face. But - He acknowledged that for this causeHe came, and therefore went through with it. No human being can ever know what He went through for our sake. We deservedthis death, but He took our place that we who believe - might be with Him eternally! What grace! What love!


22:47-53 - These paragraphs and subdivisions in this Interlinear have been established by God in His Bible Numerics. This phenomenon has existed in the Hebrew Bible for 4000 years, and in the Greek for 3000 years. It onlyexists in the 66 books of our Bible: - not in the Apocrypha - or any otherreligious book. It is God's signaturethat makes counterfeiting impossible. Panin wasn't the first to discover this phenomenon in 1890, but he was the first to spend the rest of his life producing a Greek Bible Numeric Text with no alternate readings, and an English translation of this text - revealing the Bible Numeric sentence, subdivision, paragraph and section structure, which I have outlined. My outline is not inspired. I have left a space above each summary so that you the reader can substitute your summary for mine at points you can see requiring improvement.


In the subdivision above, the betraying kiss of Judas is beyond human thought.


22:54-65 - In the first subdivision of this paragraph - we read of Peter's 3-fold denial that he ever knew Jesus. Jesus foretold that this would happen. In the next, we read of the reviling of our Lord! What must these revilers have thought following their time of death and understanding as to what they did to God's Messiah, His only begotten Son; He who came from His pre-incarnate Glory to die for us as the Son of :man!
