OT-POET.filter - rwp Temptations:



rwp@John:12:31 @{The judgement} (\krisis\). No article, "A judgement." The next few days will test this world. {The prince of this world} (\ho arch“n tou kosmou toutou\). This phrase here, descriptive of Satan as in possession of the evil world, occurs again in strkjv@14:30; strkjv@16:11|. In the temptations Satan claims power over the world and offers to share it with Jesus (Matthew:4:8-10; strkjv@Luke:4:5-8|). Jesus did not deny Satan's power then, but here proclaims final victory over him. {Shall be cast out} (\ekblˆthˆsetai ex“\). Future passive of \ekball“\. Note \ex“\, clean out. The Book of Revelation also proclaims final victory over Satan.

rwp@Luke:22:28 @{In my temptations} (\en tois peirasmois mou\). Probably "trials" is better here as in strkjv@James:1:2| though temptations clearly in strkjv@James:1:13ff|. This is the tragedy of the situation when Jesus is facing the Cross with the traitor at the table and the rest chiefly concerned about their own primacy and dignity.

rwp@Luke:22:43 @{An angel} (\aggelos\). The angels visited Jesus at the close of the three temptations at the beginning of his ministry (Matthew:4:11|). Here the angel comes during the conflict.
