The Trial Before the High Priest Caiaphas
Behaviour when being accused -
The meaning of the words: "I can destroy the temple of God and erect it in three
days” (1-10)
1. The high priest then asked Jesus about His disciples and His teachings, saying, "How old are you? Are you the One who said that He has seen our Father Abraham in His time?”
2. And Jesus answered, "Verily, before Abraham was, I Am.” And the high priest said, "You are not yet fifty years old; why do You say that You have seen Abraham? Who are You? Who do You claim to be? What do You teach?”
3. And Jesus answered him, "I have spoken openly to the world, I have always taught in the synagogue and in the temple where all Jews gather and I have said nothing in secret. Why do you ask Me? Ask those who heard Me what I have said to them; behold, they know what I said.”
4. And when He had said that, one of the officers who stood by struck Jesus with the palm of his hand, saying, "Is that the way you answer the high priest?” Jesus answered him, "If I have spoken evil, bear witness that it is evil; but if I have spoken well, why do you strike Me?”
5. Now the high priests, the elders and the whole council sought false witnesses against Jesus, so that they could put Him to death, but found none. Yes, many false witnesses came, but did not agree with one another.
6. At last, two false witnesses came. And one of them said, "This one said, 'I can destroy the temple of God and erect it again in three days.'” And the other said, "This man said, 'I will destroy this temple and build up another.'”
7. And the high priest arose and said to Him, "Will You not answer anything? What is it that these witnesses are bringing up against You?” But Jesus kept silent. For it was against the law of the Jews to try a man by night.
8. And they asked Him, "Are You the Christ? Tell us.” And He said to them, "If I tell you, you will not believe Me. And if I also ask you, you would neither answer Me, nor let Me go.”
9. And they asked Him further, saying, "Do You deny the laws and forbid the eating of flesh, which Moses commanded?” And He answered, "Behold, a greater One than Moses is here.”
10. And the high priest answered and said to Him, "I
entreat You by the living God that You tell us whether You are the Christ, the Son of God.”
Jesus said to him, "You have said it; but I say to you: Soon you will see the Son of
Man sitting on the right side of the power and coming in the clouds of heaven.”
(Chap. 79:1-10)
I, Christ, explain, correct
and deepen the word:
The statement "If I have spoken evil, bear witness that it is evil; but if I
have spoken well, why do you strike Me?” is meant to indicate a lawful behaviour:
When false things are said about you or hands are laid on you, you should explain and set
right the situation. However, you should not fight for the sake of the truth with fire,
sword or slander. This is done only by those who do not live in Me. I, the Christ, know
how to protect you and know how to vindicate you - if not
in this earthly life, then in the worlds beyond, in the realms of the souls.
It is written: "Now the high priests, the elders and the whole council sought
false witnesses against Jesus, so that they could put Him to death, but found none. Yes,
many false witnesses came, but did not agree with one another.”
Recognize that My spiritual body was and is immaculate. The guilt which I took upon Myself from the lineage of David and from some of the other lineages was not engraved in My spiritual body, because I did not commit it. The part-guilt which I took upon Myself e n v e l o p e d only My body.
It is written: "This one said, 'I can destroy the temple of God and erect it again in three days.'”
Recognize that the one who looks only at matter sees only the stones of a temple building and does not know the inner temple which is resurrected in God. When the silver cord which joins the soul to the body has been severed, the spiritual body returns to the Eternal, who created it. This is possible when the spirit body is immaculate.
It is written: "Soon you will see the Son of Man sitting on the right side of
the power and coming in the clouds of heaven.” Yes, I, Christ, will come. I have
already set out. And, through My own and with My own, I will establish the Kingdom of God,
which is in the plan of the Eternal.
11. Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, "He has blasphemed; why do we need further witness? Behold, now you have heard His blasphemy. What do you think?” They answered, saying, "He is worthy of death.”
12. Then they spit in His face and struck Him with their hands, saying, "Prophesy to us, You Christ, who is the one who struck You?”
13. And when morning had come, all the high priests and the elders of the people and the whole council held a consultation about Jesus in order to be able to put Him to death.
14. And they passed sentence against Jesus that He was worthy of death and that He be bound and led away, and they delivered Him to Pilate. (Chap. 79:11-14)
The Betrayal by Judas -
The Denial by Peter
The capture: The darkness received the power to
capture Jesus -
The one who takes up the sword will perish by the sword -
The crowing cock, the voice of conscience (1-18)
1. While He was still speaking, behold, there came a multitude, and Judas, called Iscariot, went before them. For Judas had received a troop of soldiers and officers from the high priests and pharisees. They came with lanterns, torches and weapons.
2. But Jesus knew all that should happen to Him. He stepped forth and said to them, "Whom do you seek?” They answered Him, "Jesus of Nazareth.” Jesus said to them, "I Am He.”
3. As soon as He had said to them 'I Am He', they withdrew and fell to the ground. When they arose, He asked them once more, "Whom do you seek?” And they said, "Jesus of Nazareth.” Jesus answered, "I Am He.” And when they heard that, they again withdrew and fell to the ground. And when they arose, He asked again, "Whom do you seek?” And they said, "Jesus of Nazareth.” And Jesus answered, "I have told you, I Am He. If you seek Me, let these go.”
4. Now the betrayer gave them a sign, saying, "The one I will kiss is He; seize Him.”
5. And he stepped up to Jesus, saying, "Hail, Master”, and kissed Him. And Jesus said to him, "Friend, why did you come? Is it with a kiss that you betray the Son of Man?”
6. Then Jesus said to the high priests and captains of the temple and to the elders who had come along, "You are coming out with swords and staves as against a thief. When I was with you everyday in the temple, you did not stretch out your hands against Me; but now is your hour and the power of darkness.”
7. Then they came and laid hands on Jesus. And Simon Peter stretched out his hand, drew his sword, struck a servant of the high priest and cut off his ear.
8. Then Jesus said to him, "Put your sword back into its place; those who take up the sword will perish by the sword.” And Jesus touched his ear and healed him.
9. And He said to Peter, "Do you think that now I could not ask My Father that He send Me more than twelve legions of angels at once? But then how will the scripture be fulfilled, according to which this must happen?”
10. Then all the disciples forsook Him and fled. But those who had seized Jesus led Him away to Caiaphas, the high priest. But they brought Him first to Annas, the father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was the high priest for that year.
11. But it was Caiaphas who advised the Jews that it would be expedient that one man die for the sins of the people.
12. The scribes and the elders were assembled together, but Peter, John and Judas followed from afar until the palace of the high priest. They went in and sat with the servants to see how it would end.
13. And they had kindled a fire in the midst of the hall; and when they had sat down, Peter sat down among them and warmed himself.
14. But a maid beheld him as he sat by the fire and gazing at him, said, "This man was also with Him.” But he denied Him, saying, "Woman, I know Him not.”
15. And after a little while, another saw him and said, "You are also one of them.” And Simon Peter said, "Man, I am not.”
16. And before one hour had passed, another one affirmed confidently, saying, "Truly, that one there was with Jesus of Nazareth. His speech betrays him.”
17. And Simon denied a third time with an oath, saying, "I do not know the man.” And immediately, while he was still speaking, the cock crew.
18. And the Lord turned around and looked upon Simon. And
Simon remembered the word of the Lord, how He had said to him, "Before the cock crows
this day, you will have denied Me three times.” And Simon went out and wept
bitterly. (Chap. 78:1-18)
I, Christ, explain, correct
and deepen the word:
The withdrawal of the soldiers shows that they had not yet recognized Me. They withdrew before My light. With the kiss, I was betrayed and could be apprehended. It symbolizes the betrayal by the whole Jewish people and the betrayal by the sons and daughters from the lineage of David and from other lineages. I carried the cross for all Jews and carry it for all souls and men - for My Redeemer-deed is effective in all souls and men who cling to the wheel of reincarnation.
"When I was with you everyday in the temple, you did not stretch out your hands against Me; but now is your hour and the power of darkness” means that until now the darkness had no power over Me, because My spiritual body was and is immaculate. They received the power to seize Me only after I had enveloped Myself with the guilt of the lineage of David and of other lineages and thus became visible to the darkness.
Remember, you people, "Those who take up the sword will perish by the sword” means that the one who arms against his neighbour, be it only by affirming the unlawful, will die because of what he has affirmed, or will have to suffer from it. For he has contributed to the negativities which were and are thus brought about. But the one who recognizes this in time, who repents his wrong behaviour and makes amends for it receives salvation and, in certain cases, does not have to bear the effects - or has to bear only a part of them. Whether everything that is sinful or only a part of it has to be borne depends on the complex of guilt.
It is written: "But it was Caiaphas who advised the Jews that it would be expedient that one man die for the sins of the people.”
Recognize that I died for the sins of the people.
It is written: "...while he was still speaking, the cock crew.”
What happened then still happens even today: When a person deliberately violates the law of life, the cock crows in his inner being. It is his conscience that speaks to him. May it go well for the one who listens to his conscience and turns back in time.
