NL-DBRP_076 NUM.14 PSA.34 LUK.22.1-38

NUMBERS 14:
Yesterday we again found out what the Lord thinks when we grumble against him! Let's remember Miriam. Then the Lord commanded to send out the spies, but after taking stock of the land of Canaan, they brought an evil, unbelieving report— forgetting all the miracles the Lord had done to bring them out of Egypt.

Psalm 34:
This is an acrostic psalm. I cannot write an introduction that is better than the one already written by the ancient Rabbis.

LUKE 22a:
Yesterday in chapter 21, we heard Jesus' prophecy about what will happen in judgement upon Jerusalem before his return.

GNT Translation notes:
Luk. 22:1 The time was near for the Festival of Unleavened Bread, which is [also] called the Passover.
3 Then Satan entered into Judas, [the man from the village of Carioth//called Iscariot], who was one of the twelve disciples.
22 [I, the//The] Son of Man will die as God has decided, but how terrible for that man who betrays [Me//him]!”
32 But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your [belief in me//faith] will not fail. And when you turn back to me, you must strengthen your brothers.”
33 Peter [(whose other name was Simon)] answered, “Lord, I am ready to go to prison with you and to die with you!”
35 Then Jesus asked his disciples, “When I sent you out that time without [wallet//purse], bag, or shoes, did you lack anything?”
“Not a thing,” they answered.
36“But now,” Jesus said, “whoever has a [wallet//purse] or a bag must take it; and whoever does not have a sword must sell his coat and buy one.
