In this episode Joe and Tim discuss events leading up to and including Jesus’ arrest, trial, and crucifixion as described in Mark 14:43 through the end of chapter 15, with a focus on the Good Friday narrative. They review Judas’s betrayal—using a kiss as a signal—and the subsequent scene where the disciples flee and Peter ultimately denies knowing Jesus. They explore how the trial was conducted through illegal procedures and inconsistent, false testimonies, with Jesus responding only briefly yet powerfully by affirming his identity as the Christ who will be exalted at the right hand of power. The discussion then shifts to Jesus’ crucifixion, where Roman soldiers mock him by dressing him in purple, placing a crown of thorns on his head, and offering him sour wine, all while fulfilling Old Testament prophecies. Finally, Joe and Time discuss Jesus’ burial by Joseph of Arimathea—with Nicodemus aiding him—and reflects on how this somber event galvanized these two Jewish leaders into coming into the open.
