Then six days before the Pesac ·Passover· (Nissan 8), * Note: This is the third of three Pesac ·Passover· in the public ministry of Yeshua. Yeshua [Salvation] came to Bethany [House of affliction], where Lazarus [Help of God] was, who had been dead, whom he raised from the dead. So they made him a supper there. Martha [Lady mistress, Strong bitterness] served, but Lazarus [Help of God] was one of those who sat at the table with him. Mary [Rebellion], therefore, took a pound of ointment of pure nard, very precious, and anointed the feet of Yeshua [Salvation], and wiped his feet with her hair. The house was filled with the fragrance of the ointment. Then Judas Iscariot [Praised Dagger-man], Judas Kirot; it is debatable the meaning of his name. K'riot is the Hebrew spelling. If the name K'riot is derived from the Latin word sicarius, meaning [dagger-man], then Judas is likely part of the Zealots political party who opposed Roman imperialism, a near Anarchist sect. (Luke 22:3) says K'riot is a surname, an addition to Judas’ name, therefore it could be a family name, geographic location, or a political party, or for some personal reason. Simeon [Hearing]’s son, one of his disciples, who would betray him, said, “Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred denarii (300 days wages), and given to the poor?” Now he said this, not because he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and having the money box, used to steal what was put into it. But Yeshua [Salvation] said, “Leave her alone. She has kept this for the day of my burial. For you always have the poor with you, but you don’t always have me.”
A large crowd therefore of the Jews [Praisers] learned that he was there, and they came, not for Yeshua [Salvation]'s sake only, but that they might see Lazarus [Help of God] also, whom he had raised from the dead. 10 But the chief priests conspired to put Lazarus [Help of God] to death also, 11 because on account of him many of the Jews [Praisers] went away and believed in Yeshua [Salvation].
12  MP: Messiah is announced to his people 483 years, to the exact day, after the decree to rebuild the city of Jerusalem. The calculation using 360 days per calendar year, lunar year. (Dan 9:25) § MP: Messiah is beheld as King. (Zech 9:9) * MPr: “Whatever time of year the Messiah was to appear, the Jews were to greet and hail Him by taking of the Lulav (Lev 23:40 – Palm, Willow, Myrtle and good fruits) clusters and singing Hosannas to him as the haKadosh Isra'el [the Holy One of God prevails].” (Midrash Peskita de-Rabbi Kahana 27:3). (Lev 23:40; Willow Matt 21:8; Myrtle Mark 11:8; Good fruits Luke 19:35-36; Palm John 12:12-13) On the next day a great multitude had come to the feast. When they heard that Yeshua [Salvation] was coming to Jerusalem [City of peace], 13  MP: Messiah comes in the name of Yahweh. This is also an appropriate greeting to Messiah. (Ps 118:25-26) they took the branches of the palm trees, and went out to meet him, shouting, Hosanna! ·Save now!· Blessed is he who comes in the name of MarYah [Master Yahweh], Quoted from Ps 118:25-26 the Melek Isra'el [King of God prevails]!”
14 Yeshua [Salvation], having found a young donkey, sat on it. As it is written, 15 “Don’t be afraid, daughter of Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking]. Behold, your King comes, sitting on a donkey’s colt.” § Quoted from Zec 9:9 16 His disciples didn’t understand these things at first, but when Yeshua [Salvation] was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written about him, and that they had done these things to him. 17 The multitude therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus [Help of God] out of the tomb, and raised him from the dead, was testifying about it. 18 For this cause also the multitude went and met him, because they heard that he had done this sign. 19 The Pharisees [Separated] therefore said among themselves, “See how you accomplish nothing. Behold, the world has gone after him.”
20 Now there were certain Greeks among those that went up to worship at the feast. 21 These, therefore, came to Philip [Loves horses], who was from Bethsaida of Galilee [District, Circuit], and asked him, saying, “Sir, we want to see Yeshua [Salvation].” 22 Philip [Loves horses] came and told Andrew [Manly], and in turn, Andrew [Manly] came with Philip [Loves horses], and they told Yeshua [Salvation]. 23 Yeshua [Salvation] answered them, “The time has come for the Son of Man to be glorified. 24  * MP: Corn referring to the kernel seed that starts small and grows to multiple abundance as the grass, likewise are Messiah and his disciples multiplying (according to R. Obadiah Gaon). Growing outside the city, in the land beyond borders, referencing a mixed group of Jew and non-Jew. By comparing this crop to “Lebanon,” it describes the quality of the produce grown. (Ps 72:16) Most certainly I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains by itself alone. But if it dies, it bears much fruit. 25 He who phileo ·affectionately loves, has high regard for· his life will lose it. He who hates his life in this world will keep it to eternal life. 26 If anyone serves me, let him follow me. Where I am, there will my servant also be. If anyone serves me, haAbba ·the Father· will honor him.
27  MP: The work that Messiah does will glorify God. (Is 49:3) MP: Messiah is not rebellious to God’s will. (Is 50:5) § MP: Messiah, as God’s Servant, will be highly exalted. (Is 52:13) * MP: God will afflict the Messiah, in association with bearing sin. (Is 53:10) “Now my soul is troubled. What shall I say? ‘ Abba ·Father familiar, Dear Dad·, save me from this time?’ But for this cause I came to this time. 28  MPr: The glory referenced in the first clause of this verse is of the King Messiah. The second clause is proof of its Messianic application. (Ps 21:5, Heb Bible 21:6, in Yalkut on Numbers 27:20, Midrash Ps 21:5). In addition, this passage is directly applied to the Messiah in (Midrash Genesis 15). (Ps 21:5 (Heb Bible 21:6)) MPr: Rephrasing “the Son of Man” with “King Messiah”. (Targum on Ps 80:17, Heb Bible 80:18) (Ps 80:17 (Heb Bible 80:18)). Abba ·Father familiar, Dear Dad·, glorify your name!”
Then there came a voice out of the sky, saying, “I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.”
29  The multitude therefore, who stood by and heard it, said that it had thundered. Others said, “An angel has spoken to him.”
30  § MPr: Messiah is slain by Robbers (Satan) but this becomes his downfall and Messiah overcomes (Ps 2). Also commented; in the last days Gog and Magog will fight against the Messiah and be defeated. (Ps 2:1 in Talmud Berach. 7B, Talmud Abhod. Zarah 3B, and Midrash Psalms 2). (Ps 2:1) Yeshua [Salvation] answered, “This voice has not come for my sake, but for your sakes. 31  Now is the judgment of this world. * MP: Enmity between “Thy seed and her seed.” - Women have ovum, not seed as males, therefore this is a miraculous birth. (Gen 3:15) Now the prince of this world MP: Messiah’s heels bruise the serpent’s head. The serpent retaliates, but is hurled down from power. (Gen 3:15) will be cast out. 32  MP: The one providing atonement is lifted up on a stake to restore healing to man. (Num 21:9) § MP: Messiah is rejected by his own Jewish people, “we did not esteem him”. Yet (Is 49:6 and 60:1-3) says the Messiah’s light draws the Gentiles to Him. (Is 53:3) And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.” 33  But he said this, signifying by what kind of death he should die. 34  The multitude answered him, “We have learned from the Torah ·Teaching· that the Messiah [Anointed one] remains forever. * Quoted from Is 9:7, Ps 89:29, 89:36-37 Context: 2 Sam 7:13 How do you say, ‘The Son of Man must be lifted up?’ Quoted from Num 21:8 Who is this Son of Man?”
35  § MP: Trusting in the servant sent brings light and direction from God. (Is 50:10) Yeshua [Salvation] therefore said to them, “Yet a little while the light is with you. Walk while you have the light, that darkness does not overtake you. He who walks in the darkness does not know where he is going. 36  While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become children of light.” Yeshua [Salvation] said these things, and he departed and hid himself from them. 37  * MP: Seeing the glory of Messiah, Israel still hardens her heart and refuses to acknowledge him. (Is 6:9-10) MP: The Messiah’s own people do not believe he is the Messiah. (Is 53:1) But though he had done so many signs before them, yet they didn’t believe in him, 38  that the word of Isaiah [Salvation of Yah] the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke,
Adonai, who has believed our report?
To has the arm of Yahweh been revealed?” Quoted from Is 53:1
39  For this cause they couldn’t believe, for Isaiah [Salvation of Yah] said again,
40  “He has blinded their eyes and he hardened their heart,
lest they should see with their eyes,
and perceive with their heart,
and would make teshuvah ·completely return in repentance·,
and I would heal them.” § Quoted from Is 6:10
41  Isaiah [Salvation of Yah] said these things when he saw his shekhinah ·manifest weighty glory and presence of God·, and spoke of him. 42 Nevertheless even of the rulers many believed in him, but because of the Pharisees [Separated] they didn’t confess it, so that they would not be put out of the synagogue, 43 for they had agapao ·total devotion love· for men’s praise more than God’s praise.
44  * MP: Messiah is God. (Zech 11:12-13) Yeshua [Salvation] cried out and said, “Whoever believes in me, believes not in me, but in him who sent me. 45  MP: Messiah is equal to God who sent him; Immanu'el, God with us. (Is 7:14) He who sees me sees him who sent me. 46  MP: Trusting in the servant sent brings light and direction from God. (Is 50:10) I have come whom as a light into the world, that whoever believes in me may not remain in the darkness. 47  § MP: Messiah brings the time of God’s judgment and vengeance. (Is 61:2) If anyone listens to my sayings, and does not believe, I don’t judge him. For I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. 48  * MP: God confirms His intention to raise up a Prophet like Moses, and put His words the mouth of His Prophet. (Deut 18:17-19) He who rejects me, and does not receive my sayings, has one who judges him. The word that I spoke, the same will judge him in the last day. 49  MP: Messiah is everlasting with the authority of his father (Yahweh and ancestor David). Now the Hebrew idiom “Eternal Father” in the context of a ruler on David’s throne (Is 9:7). Eternal father could mean “The ruler with authority to pass on or deny access to eternal life”. (Is 9:6) MP: Messiah is the “Prince of Peace”. This role can be understood as “The chief leader of the people establishing a peaceful covenant relationship with God”. (Is 9:6) § MP: Messiah is called Israel. Messiah comes from the nation of Israel. Messiah is also called Israel as the patriarch Jacob was renamed Israel (Gen 32:28). Being called Israel as a relationship role, Messiah is the example of right relationship with Yahweh for all Israel to emulate. (Is 49:3) * MP: The Messiah speaks with knowledge taught to him from God, not from men. (Is 50:4) MP: Messiah is God’s servant born in Bethlehem, “the future ruler of Israel”. (Mic 5:2) For I spoke not from myself, but haAbba ·the Father· who sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. Quoted from Deut 18:18 50  I know that his commandment is eternal life. The things therefore which I speak, even as haAbba ·the Father· has said to me, so I speak.”

*12:1 Note: This is the third of three Pesac ·Passover· in the public ministry of Yeshua.

12:4 Judas Kirot; it is debatable the meaning of his name. K'riot is the Hebrew spelling. If the name K'riot is derived from the Latin word sicarius, meaning [dagger-man], then Judas is likely part of the Zealots political party who opposed Roman imperialism, a near Anarchist sect. (Luke 22:3) says K'riot is a surname, an addition to Judas’ name, therefore it could be a family name, geographic location, or a political party, or for some personal reason.
