6.12.09 Gn27, Mt26

Genesis 27:
Isaac had grown old, and he called Esau, his first born, to him and told him to hunt him some game, and prepare it the way he liked so that he could take it and bless Esau. Esau went. Rebekah was outside and heard all this, and she went to Jacob and told him to pretend to be his brother Esau, and take his blessings. So Jacob took the goats and Rebekah prepared it, and then he couvered himself with goat skin, and wore his brother's clothes, and went to Isaac. Isaac couldn't see who this was but when he touched him and kissed him, he was sure that the son was his firstborn. Therefore, he took the food, and blessed him. Jacob would be a mighty one, and his brother would serve him. Right after Jacob leftt, Esau came and brought food to Isaac, and Isaac found out about everything. However, he couldn't bless Esau any more for all the blessings went to Jacob. Esau held a grudge against Jacob and intended to kill him after Isaac died. Rebekah heard about this again, and she sent Jacob to Laban, her brother. She told Isaac that she didn't want Jacob to marry a Hittite woman.

Matthew 26:
When the passover was two days away, Jesus again prophesied about his death. At the same time, the chief priests and the teachers of the law were gathering together to figure out a way to kill Jesus. When Jesus was in Bethany, he was eating a a person's house, and a woman came in with the best perfume, and anoited Jesus. When she was doing that, Jesus's disciples accused her that the perfume could be sold for a good price and used to help others. However, Jesus let her, and told people that for the poor would always be with them, but Jeuss not.
Judas Iscariot then went to the chief priest and asked if he hand over Jesus, how much would he get. And they planned the arrest.
Jesus told his disciples to prepare a place for the last supper, and they went to the city to a certan man. That was the first day of the feast. At the dinner table, Jesus told the disciples that one of the men among them would betray him, and they all went and said one by one, "not me." However, when Judas said that to Jesus, Jesus said that it was him. Jesus then broke the bread and told them to eat because it symbolizes him body, and he poured the wine and told them to drink it for it symbolizes his blood. Aftrer they gave thanks, they started eathing.
Jesus then predicted that every single men would fall away from him and they assured Jesus that they wouldn't, and peter told Jesus he would never. However Jesus told him that before the rooster crowed three times next morning, peter would disown Jesus 3 times.
Jesus then took peter, and John and James, son of Zebedee to the mountain to pray. Jesus felt great sorrow, and told his discples to keep an eye on him, and he went a little far to pray. He asked the Lord if it was possible to take back the cup.When he came back, he found them sleeping. Jesus woke them up, and told thim the same thing. Then he went again, and asked the Lord that if this was what he had to do, then let His will be done. He came back again, and found them sleeping. He didn't wake them up, but went back to pray again, and he prayed about the same thing. When he finished, he came back. the disciples were still sleeping. He woke them up and told them the betrayer was here. then went down the mountain, and on the way, Judas came with the prist's armed men; he kissed Jesus for it is a sign to show that the man was Jesus. Jesus kissed him and said: "friend, do what you came for." They then tried to arrest Jesus. One of the disciples reached out and got the sword of one soldier, and cut of his ears. Jesus told him to put the sword back, for he would be done the same thing if he used a sword. Jesus then reached out and fixed the man's ear. Jesus was arrested, and all his disciples fled.
When Jesus was facing Judgement, a lot of false testimonies were given. However, none of them stood firm. However Jesus was accused of blasphemy for saying he could destroy God's temple and rebuild it in 3 days. Peter went in the court and saw all these, and he saw people spitting on him and hit him and riciduled him. He was then recognized by a maidsevant in the courtyard. Peter quickly denied without thinking that he didn't know Jesus. He went out, then another girl saw him, and said that he was with Jesus, then he denied him again. As he was walking out, people recognized him again, and he swore that he didn't know Jesus. At this time, the rooster crowed 3 times. Peter was reminded Jesus's prophesy. He went out and weeped bitterly.
