Analysis of the Passion Week Timeline (PART 18): Event Numbers 20-23 – Second Interview with Pilate and Weeping for Yeshua

On our podcast today, we’ll look at the gospel narratives showing us that it was now early Thursday morning the second day of Unleavened Bread (Aviv 16) according to the House of Tzadok reckoning of the annual festivals BUT according to Judean reckoning, it was Aviv (Nisan) 14 – the Passover Preparation Day (John 19:14). Yeshua was once again brought before Pilate for a SECOND INTERVIEW early in the morning at about 0600 hours. His FIRST INTERVIEW was the day before, on Wednesday morning at about 0600 hours.

With today’s study, we’ll examine what happened to Yeshua after Pilate sent him off to his crucifixion in John 19:17. We will also look at the ritual “Clean Place” on the Mount of Olives referred to in Hebrews 13:11-13.

With today’s study, we’ll also examine the context of Matthew 23:37-39 when Yeshua said, “You will not see me again until you say, Blessed is He who comes in the Name of Yehovah.” We will learn that this statement is linked to the phrase, “The Teacher of Righteousness” (HaTadik – Qumran Texts 4Q491, 4Q171) and “The Just One” (Acts 3:13-14). Yeshua made a clear reference to this in Matthew 23:10 and Sha’ul or Paul also made a clear reference to this in 2 Corinthians 6:5-7:1.

I’ll have a lot more to say about all of this on today’s podcast episode 131 and PART 18 in our study of the events of Yeshua’s last Passover week, which led to his crucifixion and his third-day resurrection.
