Tell No Man
Jesus had just spoken to the multitude on the mountain where he delivered the Sermon on the Mount and came down the mountain and a man with leprosy asked to be clean and Jesus cleanses him and says the following:
Matthew 8:1-4
1When he was come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him.
2And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
3And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.
4And Jesus saith unto him, See thou tell no man; but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.
What happened to the multitudes that at that time were following him as stated in Matthew 8:1 just two verses preceeding? Since we are reading about it in Matthew
obviously someone knew!
Are priests not men?
Or is there “another reason” for this strange request?
What are these strange requests about- to Tell No Man when obviously they did tell men and also purposefully recorded their strange ”Tell No Man” statements in the bible?
Again in Matthew Jesus tells his disciples to tell no man,
but this time
that he was Jesus the Christ
Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was Jesus the Christ.
Could it be that he wasn’t the real Jesus the Christ,
but An imposter?
And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen again from the dead.
Why?
This does not make sense!
By the way, these Tell No Man requests are not in the Gospel of John!
And he charged them that they should tell no man:
but the more he charged them, so much the more a great deal they published it;
Now come on,
if this is the Son of God don’t you think he would know that they would publish it?
This is an imposter—- a made up version of Jesus Christ!
The real Jesus Christ is the spirit of prophecy.
He would know that they would publish it!
Why the pretense?
This is a mock of the real Jesus Christ! A facade.
In other words, an image. A deceptive image!
And he charged them that they should tell no man of him.
And as they came down from the mountain, he charged them that they should tell no man what things they had seen, till the Son of man were risen from the dead.
And he charged him to tell no man: but go, and shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing, according as Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.
And her parents were astonished: but he charged them that they should tell no man what was done.
Luke 9:21-23
21And he straitly charged them, and commanded them to tell no man that thing; 22Saying, The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be slain, and be raised the third day.23And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and and take his cross daily, and follow me.
Wait a minute, if you don’t tell them, how will they come?
This is nonsensical!

Note:
The Gospel of John
does not
include this same antithesis, Tell No Man!
Nor does Jesus of the Gospel of John tell his followers to deny themselves, etc.
A nomen indicates which gens a Roman belongs to. A gens is a loose collection of families sharing the same nomen. It is the middle part of the tria nomina, i.e., the three-part Roman name.
Here is a strange coincidence:
Acts 23:16-22
16And when Paul’s sister’s son heard of their lying in wait, he went and entered into the castle, and told Paul.17Then Paul called one of the centurions unto him, and said, Bring this young man unto the chief captain: for he hath a certain thing to tell him.18So he took him, and brought him to the chief captain, and said, Paul the prisoner called me unto him, and prayed me to bring this young man unto thee, who hath something to say unto thee.19Then the chief captain took him by the hand, and went with him aside privately, and asked him, What is that thou hast to tell me?20And he said, The Jews have agreed to desire thee that thou wouldest bring down Paul to morrow into the council, as though they would enquire somewhat of him more perfectly.21But do not thou yield unto them: for there lie in wait for him of them more than forty men, which have bound themselves with an oath, that they will neither eat nor drink till they have killed him: and now are they ready, looking for a promise from thee.
22So the chief captain then let the young man depart,
and charged him,
See thou tell no man
that thou hast shewed these things to me.
Same Lingo: charged them / tell no man
as in the 3 Synoptic Gospels
(Matthew, Mark and Luke)!
Now, who wrote the Synoptic gospels?
It is pretty obvious!
Sounds like the same person who wrote Acts
wrote quite a bit of the Synoptic gospels
of Matthew, Mark and Luke!
Weird, huh!
The writer of these Tell No Man phrases is mocking the Gospel of John when he said No Man in many verses. It is obvious that the authors of the Gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke, the Book of Acts and so forth
(in their deep hate and their evil insanity)
had the Gospel of John
to degrade in every way they could!
Remember when Peter escaped from prison went to another place after James was killed and Herod died. Then Saul turned into Paul after fulfilling their mission and both Paul and Barnabus took Mark? Per chance they meant the book of Mark and not the man or both. Maybe that was their mission. Because Mark would not work they added a few more gospels. Barnabus and Paul had problems so Barnabus took Mark to Cyprus.
Why do you suppose the real Jesus Christ threw out the money changers in the temple,
if he did not want people to know about him?
Why would he raise Lazarus from the dead if he did not want people to know about him?
Why would he enter Jerusalem on a colt of an ass and have people laying down palms and believing in him
if he did not want us to know about him?
Why would he feed the multitudes if he did not want anyone to know about him?
Why would he have disciples if he did not want people to know about him?
Why would he heal people of their infirmities if he did not want people to know about him?
Why would he raise himself from the dead if he did not want people to know about him?
Why would Jesus come
if he did not want people to know about him?
John 12:19 ……..
“behold, the world is gone after him.”
Obviously, he wanted the people to know about him!
And I believe he came to confront an imposter…
the Thorn
so that we would be able to recognize who He is!
Why do the Synoptic Gospels seem so confused and confusing ……
Maybe the intention of the authors of those gospels is to confuse.
=====================================================

Chief Priests and the Legion!
John 2:23-25
23Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, in the feast day, many believed in his name, when they saw the miracles which he did.24But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all men,25And needed not that any should testify of man: for he knew what was in man.
John 3:31-33
31He that cometh from above is above all: he that is of the earth is earthly, and speaketh of the earth: he that cometh from heaven is above all.32And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth;
and no man receiveth his testimony.
33He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal
that God is true.
==================================================
The true Messiah Jesus Christ wanted people to know about Him!
(Even before he was raised from the dead)
How would people believe
if he did not have witnesses?
John 11:41-42
41Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid.
And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me.
42And I knew that thou hearest me always:
but because of the people which stand by I said it,
that they may believe that thou hast sent me.
Again, the Synoptic gospels of Matthew and Mark do not have this event of the
raising of Lazarus in their gospels.
Only the gospel of John!
However the Gospel of Luke does tell another story of Lazarus.
.Jesus Christ did not go around telling everyone to
tell no man
He wanted us to know!
John 12:17-19
17The people therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of his grave, and raised him from the dead,
bare record.
18For this cause the people also met him, for that they heard that he had done this miracle.1
9The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive ye how ye prevail nothing?
behold, the world is gone after him.
Who is ye?

THE THORN
in the above verse was so jealous of Jesus because he raised Lazarus from the dead and that the people believed in Him. Luke, Paul, and his friends ravaged the Gospel of John with the other gospels and Acts, and so forth. There are so many, many examples of the antithetical verses against the gospel of John and the truth about Jesus Christ.
Maybe that is why Paul says in the following verses:
1 Corinthians 16:21
The salutation of me Paul with mine own hand.Galatians 6:11
Ye see how large a letter I have written unto you with mine own hand.2 Thessalonians 3:17
The salutation of Paul with mine own hand, which is the token in every epistle: so I write.Philemon 1:19
I Paul have written it with mine own hand, I will repay it: albeit I do not say to thee how thou owest unto me even thine own self besides.Because Paul is lying to cover up the fact that Paul is also the writer of these antithetical scriptures against the Gospel of John and the truth and wants us to follow him instead of the true Jesus Christ as he attempts to do in his writings using the name of Jesus Christ for his own
BENEFIT!
Otherwise why would Paul say “in mine own hand“? He could just sign off as Paul but he adds “in mine own hand.”

John 4:22-24
22Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.23But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.24God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
DO NOT WORSHIP the Shroud of Turin, NOR the Pope, NOR any Institution, NOR the Bible, NOR the Torah, NOR the book of Catechism, NOR Mary, NOR the Temple, NOR any shrine, NOR any Bishop, or Priest, or apostle, NOR any book, man, religion or beast, NOR icon, NOR idol, NOR relic, NOR the Eucharist!
Why would Jesus Christ the true Messiah tell everyone he met to tell NO MAN?
It’s ridiculous!
He did not come to us to bewilder us or to hide who he was….
what would be the point?
He wanted us to know Him, perceive Him, hear Him, see Him, and to believe in Him. The TRUE Jesus Christ wanted us to know the Father through Him so that we might have life in His Name! He was not trying to hide like a criminal as the Synoptic gospels would have you believe. He didn’t come just so that the priests might know him. He did not come just so the upper class might have access to him. He did not come just for Kings and Queens or for a privileged few as in Luke 10:24 above would have you believe. He came for the world because:
John 3:16
16For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
The reason that Jesus Christ came to Israel and not to another country is because it is the God of Israel that is His Father!
The Father of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
John 8:57-59
57Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?
58Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
59Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself,
and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.
————————————————————–
But the Synoptic Jesus said:
And Jesus saith unto him, See thou tell no man; but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Get the drift?
This is the ANOTHER Reason!
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Obviously, there are two different Jesus’s written about in the New Testament!
The Synoptic Jesus and the Jesus in the Gospel of John.
Since the Synoptic Gospel seems so dysfunctional, confusing and scattered in comparison to the Gospel of John, who should we believe?
Obviously, we should believe the Gospel of John which does not have Jesus going about telling the multitudes to tell no man about him knowing that they would tell about him.

Salute No Man
Luke 9:1-3
Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases.2And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.3And he said unto them, Take nothing for your journey, neither staves, nor scrip, neither bread, neither money; neither have two coats apiece.
Luke 10:3-5
Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves.4Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and salute no man by the way.5And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace be to this house.
“Salute no man by the way”? What does that mean?
I looked up “salute” in the bible online and there sure is a lot of Saluting goin’ on.
Please click on this link:
SALUTE
So if they are supposed to salute no man by the way,
then why do they do so much saluting in this link?
This is absolute nonsense and deception by the way!
Does “no man” mean something else?
Who is no man?
A nomen indicates which gens a Roman belongs to. A gens is a loose collection of families sharing the same nomen. It is the middle part of the tria nomina, i.e., the three-part Roman name.
Real cute!
Funny, because in the Synoptic Gospel of Matthew, Jesus says:
Matthew 24:4
And Jesus answered and said unto them,
Take heed that no man deceive you.
Does he mean do not be deceived by any man or does he mean Let NO MAN deceive you,
or was it warning you that “no man” is deceiving you??????
That may sound crazy, but on the other hand we are talking about deception.
Luke 22:34-36
And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me.35And he said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye any thing?And they said, Nothing.36Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.
With what?
I thought they did not have a purse, scrip, and shoes above in verses Luke 9:1-3 at the top of this page and now they are supposed to have a purse. and take it and likewise their scrip, which they didn’t have but lacked nothing, and sell the only garment they have to buy a sword.
Is this nuts, or what?
Oh yea, and salute no man by the way! Weird!
——————————————-
Luke 19:11-28
11And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear.12He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.13And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come.14But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us.15And it came to pass, that when he was returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be called unto him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading.16Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds.17And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities.18And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds.19And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities.20And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin:21For I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up that thou layedst not down, and reapest that thou didst not sow.22And he saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant.
Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up that I laid not down, and reaping that I did not sow:23Wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required mine own with usury?
24And he said unto them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give it to him that hath ten pounds.25(And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.)26For I say unto you, That unto every one which hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even that he hath shall be taken away from him.27But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.28And when he had thus spoken, he went before, ascending up to Jerusalem.
Honestly, do you really think Jesus the Messiah would say verse 27:
27But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me
SOUNDS MORE LIKE A MURDERING BANKER!
After reading these verses and the parable
I would have been a very confused disciple!
=====================================
austere
1. stern or severe in attitude or manner an austere schoolmaster
2. grave, sober, or serious an austere expression
3. self-disciplined, abstemious, or ascetic an austere life
4. severely simple or plain an austere design
====================================
Austerity programs can be controversial, as they tend to have an adverse impact on the poorest segments of the population.[citation needed] In many situations, austerity programs are implemented by countries that were previously under dictatorial regimes, leading to criticism that the citizens are forced to repay the debts of their oppressors.[6][7][8]
So basically the Synoptic Jesus
is saying that he is an oppressor!
While on the subject of austerity here are some interesting articles from Rome of all places about Austerity cuts:
Analysis: More austerity may be the last thing Italy needs
best part of the article is the comment by:

As I recall it was those union workers that stood up for the Roman Catholic Entity last year in regards to the homosexual child abuse charges against the church
and it was the Mayor of Rome Gianni Alemanno who amassed and rallied support from those union workers in Rome to save that entity.

The Capitoline Venus
“The Capitoline Venus is a significant descendent of the first, revolutionary statue of this type, the renowned Aphrodite of Cnidos by Praxiteles. With the Cnidian Venus, Praxiteles introduced a new subject to the history of art: the large-scale, freestanding, fully nude female. This type of image became known in modern times as a “Modest Venus” (Venus pudica)
because the goddess attempts to cover her nakedness…..”
===========================
I just don’t envision in any way the true Jesus to be austere. To me He seems to be very patient and thoughtful, at least in the Gospel of John. He laid down his life for his friends and that does not sound like austerity. Nor did Jesus seem to be wishful to have his enemies slayed before him, at least not in the Gospel of John. IF he wanted to have them slayed before Him, then why didn’t he do that while he was being interrogated and beaten up. It wasn’t as if he didn’t have plenty of opportunities, but He did not do that. However, I do believe the imposter and the deceiver rendered in the gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke would slay their enemies, and I believe they did slay them.
Here is an article about slaying with another meaning, please read:
Beware Oh brother, beware don’t you listen to the words. The tender lies….
Think about this statement of the Synoptic Jesus:
Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up that I laid not down, and reaping that I did not sow
So now he is not only a murdering banker,
but also a thief!
Mark 14:49-53
49I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and ye took me not: but the scriptures must be fulfilled.50And they all forsook him, and fled.51And there followed him a certain young man, having a linen cloth cast about his naked body; and the young men laid hold on him:52And he left the linen cloth, and fled from them naked.53And they led Jesus away to the high priest: and with him were assembled all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes.
Perhaps this young man took what Luke’s Jesus said in Luke 9:1-3 and Luke 10: 3-5 above literally?
I really don’t think Jesus said the stuff that Luke said that he said, and nor do I think this young man followed him, etc. I think it is malicious nonsense!
IF anything can be made of these verses in Mark is that there was another that the young men followed (or laid hold of) and it is not the real Jesus!
There is something very strange about the mention of this linen cloth since it is not mentioned in any other gospel.
Why would this incident be added? IF this had happened it would be in the Gospel of John, but it isn’t. John was there! If you read the Gospel of John it is very detailed in comparison to the mish-mash of incidents, parables, healings and ramblings of the other synoptic gospels.(Matthew, Mark and Luke)
Seems to me that the linen cloth left behind may be pointing to the Shroud of Turin and these verses (Mark 14:51-52) must have been added quite a bit later on.
A cruel joke of some kind!
——————————
Something to consider very seriously:
Is the young naked man that fled and left the linen cloth the same man that is on the Shroud of Turin?
In Acts, there is a contention between Barnabus and Saul after their mystery ‘ministry’ when James (brother of John Zebedee) is murdered by Herod and Peter is imprisoned by the same and then Peter goes to “another place” and then Herod mysteriously dies as told by Luke the writer of Acts and then Saul turns into Paul.
After these events Paul and Barnabus take John Mark with them.
I wonder if John Mark was Peter’s son? I wonder what the “another place” is referring to since the other two (possibly three) are murdered!
DID PETER SWITCH SIDES?
REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED AT THE SEA OF GALILLEE WHEN JESUS VISITED THE DISCIPLES THE THIRD TIME AFTER HE HAD RISEN
AND WARNED PETER TO FOLLOW HIM.
JOHN 21:18-19
18Verily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou wast young, thou girdest thyself, and walkedst whither thou wouldest: but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands,
and another shall gird thee,
and carry thee whither thou wouldest not.
19This spake he, signifying by what death he should glorify God.
And when he had spoken this, he saith unto him,
Follow me.
BEFORE PETER SEEMS TO END UP IN ROME, JAMES AND HEROD ARE KILLED AND PETER GOES TO ANOTHER PLACE (which obviously is Rome). PETER TELLS THE LADY AT THE DOOR TO TELL JAMES
( I thought James was already dead – killed by Herod)
THAT HE WAS RELEASED BY AN ANGEL FROM THE PRISON, YET HE GIRDS HIMSELF
WHICH IS OPPOSITE TO WHAT JESUS SAYS AT THE SEA OF GALILEE!
I FIND THAT INTERESTING!
THE BOOK OF ACTS WAS OBVIOUSLY WRITTEN AFTER THE GOSPEL OF JOHN AND AGAIN PURPOSEFULLY CONTRARY!
ACTS 12:7-9
7And, behold, the angel of the Lord came upon him, and a light shined in the prison: and he smote Peter on the side, and raised him up, saying, Arise up quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands.
smote past tense of smite (Verb)
8And the angel said unto him, Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals. And so he did. And he saith unto him, Cast thy garment about thee, and follow me.9And he went out, and followed him; and wist not that it was true which was done by the angel; but thought he saw a vision.
wist= knew / be aware of
So does the above mean that Peter lied or embellished his story of his escape from prison? Or was Peter deceived as I believe he was deceived when he fell into a trance and was offered unclean animals to kill and eat in the Book of Acts.
WHAT IS LUKE ALLUDING TO WHEN HE SAYS PETER DEPARTED AND WENT INTO ANOTHER PLACE IN :
ACTS 12:17
17But he, beckoning unto them with the hand to hold their peace, declared unto them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. And he said, Go shew these things unto James, and to the brethren. And he departed, and went into another place.
WAS THIS WHEN PETER WAS KILLED AND THE ABOVE STORY IS MERELY A COVER STORY?
OR DID HE TURN HIS ALLEGIANCE TO ANOTHER I.E. FOLLOWED ANOTHER!
Or is Luke lying about Peter and what Peter said about the angel telling him to GIRD THYSELF in opposition to what was written in the gospel of John at the Sea of Galilee?
Either way it is contrary to the Gospel of John….
Jesus also said (in the Gospel of John) that the PRINCE OF THIS WORLD WAS COMING AND HE HAS NOTHING IN ME.
JOHN 14:30
30Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.
WHO IS JESUS TALKING ABOUT?
I THINK HE IS TALKING ABOUT THE “THE ANOTHER” THAT WAS GOING TO GIRD PETER WHEN HE GETS OLD! Or rather the one that would write about it in opposition to the gospel of John. It is no accident that just about everything written in the Synoptic Gospels opposes and mocks the Gospel of John. So I gather that the authors of those gospels are or represent the prince of this world!
Acts 12:25
25And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem,
when they had fulfilled their ministry,
and took with them John, whose surname was Mark.
WONDER WHAT THAT MINISTRY WAS?
JAMES THE BROTHER OF JOHN ZEBEDEE IS MURDERED (SUPPOSEDLY BY HEROD), HEROD IS KILLED (SUPPOSEDLY BY WORMS) AND PETER GOES TO ANOTHER PLACE and they take John surnamed Mark (man, book or both?)
Could the deaths of these men be the ministry that is fulfilled by Barnabus and Saul?
=====
Then because John Mark does not “work” Paul doesn’t want to include John Mark in whatever it is he considered “work” in Acts 15:36-38. Very mysterious chronology of events!
Acts 15:36-38
36And some days after Paul said unto Barnabas, Let us go again and visit our brethren in every city where we have preached the word of the LORD, and see how they do.
37And Barnabas determined to take with them John, whose surname was Mark.
38But Paul thought not good to take him with them, who departed from them from Pamphylia, and went not with them to the work.
There is a “contention” between Paul and Barnabus. THEN Barnabus takes John Mark to Sicily. That is the last we hear about John Mark! However, we do hear about a person named Mark a verse later and I assume it is the same John surnamed Mark.
Acts 15:39
39And the contention was so sharp between them, that they departed asunder one from the other: and so Barnabas took Mark, and sailed unto Cyprus;
Who was John Mark? What happened to John Mark? He seems to disappear.
Some very strange things to consider in the Synoptic gospels that seem to cradle ACTS or visa-versa.
Zechariah 11:8
8Three shepherds also I cut off in one month;
and my soul lothed them, and their soul also abhorred me.
ARE THE THREE ABOVE THAT ARE KILLED JAMES, HEROD AGRIPPA, AND POSSIBLY PETER, MAYBE JOHN MARK WHO THIS VERSE IN ZECHARIAH 11:8 IS REFERRING TO? IT SEEMS THEY HAPPENED VERY CLOSE TOGETHER in time! AND IT COINCIDES WITH THE MINISTRY COMPLETED BY SAUL AND BARNABUS WHEN SAUL MOLTS INTO PAUL.
HERE IS AN INTERESTING ARTICLE ABOUT THE WRITER OF MATTHEW AND THE WRITER OF ZECHARIAH:
The Book of Zechariah
Matthew 27:9-10:Then what was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled: “They took the thirty silver coins, the price set on him by the people of Israel, and they used them to buy the potter’s field, as the Lord commanded me.”
The problem comes in locating this prophesy, which, rather than appearing in the book of Jeremiah,
instead shows up in Zechariah 11:12-13.“
Is this article suggesting that possibly Matthew or someone else wrote a part of the prophetic book of Zechariah! Or did he just misquote to mislead?
I think the author of the Gospel of Matthew did more than that!
Matthew 27:1-10
1When the morning was come, all the chief priests and elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death:
2And when they had bound him, they led him away, and delivered him to Pontius Pilate the governor.
3Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,
4Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood. And they said, What is that to us? see thou to that.
5And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself.
6And the chief priests took the silver pieces, and said, It is not lawful for to put them into the treasury, because it is the price of blood.
7And they took counsel, and bought with them the potter’s field, to bury strangers in.
8Wherefore that field was called, The field of blood, unto this day.
9Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying, And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was valued, whom they of the children of Israel did value;
10And gave them for the potter’s field,
as the Lord appointed me.
Who is the Lord in this last verse?
The problem I have with these verses in Matthew is that many people believed in Jesus (of the Gospel of John) because Jesus had raised Lazarus from the grave (in the Gospel of John) and it was the chief priests who were plotting to kill Lazarus and Jesus because they were losing their preeminence and fear of the Romans taking their nation and so forth.
John 11:48-50
48If we let him thus alone, all men will believe on him: and the Romans shall come and take away both our place and nation.
49And one of them, named Caiaphas, being the high priest that same year, said unto them, Ye know nothing at all,
50Nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not.
John 18:14
14Now Caiaphas was he, which gave counsel to the Jews, that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.
Then there is Joseph of Arimathea who was a a rich man from Arimathea, waiting for the kingdom of God, a secret disciple who craved the body of Jesus and who was a prominent member of the Council.
By body does this also mean the followers of Jesus?
Isaiah 53:9
And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.HMMMMMMMMM
Please read about DECEIT:
Prophecy of Esaias
Here is an interesting take on Joseph of Arimathea and Pilate:
Is Mark mocking Joseph of Arimathea, and Pilate?
What bewilders me is that Joseph of Arimathea is afraid of the Jews and is able to retrieve the body of Jesus from Pilate (a Roman).
Caiaphas and the chief priests are afraid that the Romans will take away their nation and all people would believe that Jesus is their Messiah if they allow Him to continue, so they plot to kill Him.
Another thing that bewilders me is that when Joseph of Arimathea goes to Pilate to take down the body of Jesus….why is Pilate surprised or shocked that Jesus was dead already? Supposedly IN THE SYNOPTIC GOSPELS there was an earthquake, and darkness for three hours, and the veil of the temple was torn in two. Wouldn’t one of these events and even more, all of these events make a person aware or suspicious that something unique was happening? Unless PILATE was taking a very heavy nap! And Joseph of Arimethea wants to bury Jesus before the Passover feast and an earthquake has just occurred, the veil of the Temple is torn in half, and darkness over the land? Wouldn’t Joseph of Arimethea have been aware of this,
IF WHAT IS WRITTEN IN THE GOSPELS OF MATTHEW, MARK AND LUKE WERE TRUE ?
Or was Joseph of Arimethea in a hurry to hide the body of Jesus in a tomb with a big stone and get on with the Passover?
(Often people that commit a crime like to bury their crime quickly and there happened to be a grave nearby owned by Joseph of Arimethea.)
Why would Pilate give the body of Jesus to Joseph of Arimethea?
Who is Joseph of Arimethea?
Is he that “other disciple” written about in the gospel of John that let Peter in to where Jesus was being interrogated?
Seems to me Pilate was being awful lax just giving the body of Jesus to Joseph of Arimethea and did not seem nor need to confer with all the other chief priests and the Counsel who seemed to be in his ear before.
Maybe Joseph of Arimathea was the top man and Pontius was his servant!
Here is an article about Joseph of Arimathea with a comment about the burial of Jesus. The reason I add this article is not for the article itself, but for the comment by Anna Rosa M which I found to be thought provoking at the least. I included the article even though I think it is a bit contrived so you can see where the comment came from. Beneath the link for the article is the comment that seems appropriate to add to my post:
Strange things are happening: Joseph of Arimathea
“Even stranger things…
For the record, the Jews have never, ever practiced any form of embalming. Don’t take my word for it, check Judaic Mishnaic Law from the first century for confirmation.
As such, what on earth where Joseph A. and Nicodemus doing at the tomb…after sundown…with 70 plus pounds of spices and oils?
To claim that the wrapping of Our Lord’s body in linens, spices and oils was “in accordance with Jewish custom” is absolutely wrong.
Either the author was completely unaware of Jewish custom…or the ritual being performed on Christ’s body was NOT Jewish in origin.”

at 8:46 pm=======================================
So why would a Jewish Councilman of the Sanhedrin, a “goodman and a just” as Luke describes Joseph of Arimathea, bury Jesus in an unJewish way,
or was Joseph of Arimathea not Jewish
BUT ROMAN
and was actually in charge of the whole business.
Usually you give the body to the family, but that is nowadays. I have no idea what they did back then and being under occupation of the Romans.
Seems that the tomb of Arimethea was pre-calculated as the sight for the body of Jesus.
Furthermore, if Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemas had already prepared the body of Jesus, why would the women come to the tomb to do the very same thing. I thought it was already done by these two secret disciples.
It does not make sense!
Luke 23:50-51
50And, behold, there was a man named Joseph, a counsellor; and he was a good man, and a just:
“and a just” a just what?
a just man? a just judge? a just counsellor?
A Just Prince?
I think there is something missing in that sentence!
51(The same had not consented to the counsel and deed of them;) he was of Arimathaea, a city of the Jews: who also himself waited for the kingdom of God.
—————
By the way, does God break his promises? If you read the prophecies in Zechariah, it seems that whoever wrote this part of Zechariah says that God does break His covenants:
Zechariah 11:10
10And I took my staff, even Beauty, and cut it asunder, that I might break my covenant which I had made with all the people.
What Covenant?
If Matthew wrote part of Zechariah…..Could it be that he is the prince that made the covenant that he breaks with all the people (the many)? The only covenant made in the gospel of Matthew and the Synoptic Gospels is at the “last supper” which is not written about in the gospel of John!
I don’t believe that God breaks His covenants that He makes,
but I do believe that a covenant was made by a deceiver, and it was broken, and this person thinks he is God.
He is the prince of this world, a liar, a murderer, and a thief!
IN essence what I mean is that the rendition of Jesus and the events described in the gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke (the Synoptic Gospels) seem to describe Jesus as a thief, murdering banker, austere, unforgiving, eager to watch men slayed before him, avenging such as threatening the daughters of Jerusalem, a lunatic such as cursing a fig tree and comparing faith to a mustard seed, telling everyone he met not to tell about him as the multitudes were following him and sends them to the temple to give them alms…
Give me a break!
Also
Referring to the prophecy in Zechariah as the prophecy in Jeremiah which Matthew (or whoever wrote the gospel of Matthew) is deceptive and reminds me of what Peter said happened to Judas Iscariot in the Book of Acts, written by Luke (whoever he is) -who also refers to Jeremiah, and why Matthew should be the 12th apostle by drawing lots between two men, who I think were one and the same person…. which reminds me of Josephus and his stories. (Drawing Lots at Yodafat)
Talk about deception…..this is insanity!
So why should we not wrest with the scriptures
as Peter suggested?
I think it would be stupid not to wrest after reading the Synoptic Gospels, at least if you bother to compare them to the Gospel of John!!!!!!
As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.

An Holy Kiss
Proverbs 27:6
Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.
===============================
Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he: hold him fast.
And forthwith he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, master; and kissed him.
And he that betrayed him had given them a token, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he; take him, and lead him away safely.
And as soon as he was come, he goeth straightway to him, and saith, Master, master; and kissed him.
And while he yet spake, behold a multitude, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them, and drew near unto Jesus to kiss him.
But Jesus said unto him, Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss?
In the Garden of Gethsemane when Jesus Christ was arrested
Judas does not kiss Jesus Christ in the gospel of John!
Salute one another with an holy kiss. The churches of Christ salute you.
All the brethren greet you. Greet ye one another with an holy kiss.
Greet one another with an holy kiss.
Greet all the brethren with an holy kiss.

Greet ye one another with a kiss of charity. Peace be with you all that are in Christ Jesus. Amen.

Sour Wine
A few weeks back I received my daily The Berean Daily Verse and Comment which I have enjoyed often in the past few years.
The article from the daily e-mail that I have linked from The Berean is called:
Matthew 26:27-29.
For many years I thought Berean meant searching the scriptures daily for the truth, but in reality it was just a sect from Berea. I don’t mean to demean the writer or the site of The Berean, but this particular article shows how
Christians have
swallowed the lies of the antichrist
Hook, Line and Sinker!
In the article linked above The Berean says that Jesus was in so much pain when He was on the cross that He did not know what He was doing or saying, and that is why He drank the vinegar, even though he had made a promise at the
SYNOPTIC Last Supper
about not drinking the wine,
Luke 22:18
For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come.
but I assure you that Jesus Christ did know what He was doing and saying when He was on the cross,
at least in the gospel of John!
The authors of the Synoptic Gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke deliberately made up their gospels to mock Jesus Christ and His apostles, and many generations of sincere men, women and children, including myself, who have read their gospels and believed their lies.
It stinks!
Recently, I wrote an article about how Christians hurt the truth by denying the truth:
Judge Not, that You Be Not Judged
Do Christians really want to know the truth about God and His Son,
or do we want to keep bouncing the ball?
For the sake of our children shouldn’t we try to see the truth and overcome the deceptions that have been included in the the bible?
The discord in the gospels should not be overlooked!
We only hurt ourselves by dismissing
the inconsistencies and contradictions in the gospels!
It is called HYPOCRISY!
In the article I linked from The Berean it makes excuses about the promise that Jesus made to his disciples at the Last Supper when in actuality Jesus Christ breaks that “Synoptic promise” on the cross (because the Synoptic promise did not happen, but was included in the Synoptic gospels to deceive) and it was done on purpose! It was done to mock, demean, and to make Jesus Christ (the true Messiah) a liar, as many other parts of the Synoptic gospels seem to do
and to confuse us.
We have been played for fools by the lies. That’s why the popular Christian symbol is the fish. You have to fool the fish to catch it by offering it a worm and there are plenty of worms in the Synoptic gospels to alarm us that
it’s a trick of the FISHERMAN,
ie., the antichrist.
IT is sick, and by IT, I mean, the antichrist and ITS’ Subordinates!
When Jesus Christ was baptized by John the Baptist and the Spirit of God lighted upon Him,
was it a fish?
No, the Spirit of God was like a dove!
John 1:32-34
32And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him.33And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.34And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God.
When Jesus Christ talked to Peter on the third visit by the Sea of Galilee after he had risen,
did Jesus ask Peter three times to
Feed my frys, Feed my fish, Feed my fish?
No, Jesus said the verses below:
John 21:15-17
15So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs.16He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep.17He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep.
The Berean article
makes excuses for Jesus Christ consuming the vinegar at the cross.
Vinegar is sour wine!
The word “vinegar” derives from the Old French vin aigre, meaning “sour wine”
Matthew 26:27-29
27And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it;28For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.29But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s kingdom.
A testament is a contract or covenant!
Mark 14:23-25
23And he took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them: and they all drank of it.24And he said unto them, This is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many.25Verily I say unto you, I will drink no more of the fruit of the vine, until that day that I drink it new in the kingdom of God.
Luke 22:17-20
17And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves:18For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come19And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.20Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.
Could the above covenant with many
be the covenant with many
spoken of in Daniel?
Daniel 9:26-27
26And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself:
and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.27And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
Why would the true Messiah
The Son of God
make a false covenant?
The covenant must have been made by
a False Messiah,
A False Jesus!
Please read:
The Covenant with Many
CONFIRMATION OF THE COVENANT
Most of what is described in the gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke the night that Jesus Christ was arrested did not occur. If you read the Gospel of John it is totally absent of the discussion of the wine and the bread and the synoptic promise.
Not one part of the verses above happened at the “Last Supper” in the gospel of John.
The synoptic gospels do not include the prayer or the washing that Jesus Christ performs on the feet of his disciples in the gospel of John.
John was the only one who was present at the Last Supper of the three gospel writers
the night of the arrest.
The writer of The Berean is trying to excuse the mistake about Jesus taking the vinegar at the cross because He was in such pain and did not know what He was doing, because if He did know what He was doing, then the synoptic Kingdom of God has already come by Him drinking the vinegar at the cross.
The fact is Jesus Christ was fully aware of what He was doing despite the pain He endured on the cross.
Right before He said “I thirst”, He was arranging for the care of His mother to a disciple.
John 19:26-27
26When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son!
27Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home.
That is acutely aware!
He also knew by taking the vinegar
that He asked for
would be
one of many signs
for us about the false gospels that He knew would be written about Him.
He knew ahead of time everything to the last detail. Jesus is the spirit of prophecy!
Before He died He said, “It is finished,” because He was extremely aware of what He was doing every second and always!
Do not underestimate the Son of God in any situation and in every circumstance!
(It is human nature for us to under quantify and under qualify Him,
but it is our mistake when we do so.)—— I do it all the time….I should know!
There is something very wrong between the Synoptic Gospels and the Gospel of John!
If we are truly seeking the truth about God and His Son
we can NOT allow these contradictions to stand
with an excuse, a shrug, and a wink and say that the gospels harmonize,
because they don’t!
The contradictions are not by accident!
The Synoptic Gospels COLLIDE
with the Gospel of John!
John 19:28-30
28After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst.29Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a spunge with vinegar, and put it upon hyssop, and put it to his mouth.30When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar,
he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.
He purposefully received the vinegar
as a sign
to tell us that the gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke have rendered a false Jesus Christ! That is why after He received the vinegar He said “It is finished.” He knew what they would give Him because He is the Son of God!
He also knew that many would be deceived,
giving excuses for these contradictions written about Him, and also be deceiving us!
You can’t fool God!
As I have been trying to warn my fellow Christians is that the writers of Matthew, Mark and Luke were not even there at the “Last Supper!” For sure, we know that Mark(John Mark) and Luke were followers of Paul/Saul of Tarsus. They seem to ape Matthew so I believe they are in compliance with Matthew or vice-versa and thats why they call these three gospels the Synoptic Gospels. They copy each other and when they don’t, they embellish the other. Synonymous. Alike. In agreement in order to lie about the true Jesus Christ and promote their own agenda, their new religion of Paul of Tarsus, and worship a false christ and a false god.
That is why the synoptic gospels and the gospel of John are
diametrically opposed!
This is the Great Deception!
Please wake up your friends, your families, and your leaders!
Don’t allow the lies comfort.
By doing so, we AID & ABET the enemy of Jesus Christ, our Saviour!
Most people have no inkling of these discrepancies.
Please make them aware and don’t sweep it under the rug.
The Truth about God and His Son is too Important to be ignored!
The Synoptic Gospels characterize Jesus in their gospels as anti-family, anti-father and anti-responsible which presents a dilemma.
For instance:
Matthew 8:21-22
21And another of his disciples said unto him, Lord,
suffer me first to go and bury my father.
22But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead.
Luke 9:60
Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God.
I don’t see how the true Messiah
would have so little compassion
for this disciple
as characterized by these two verses?
Compared to the Messiah in the Gospel of John and his deep love for Mary, Martha, the disciples,
and Lazarus.
He wept,
because he knew their sadness and their needs
even though
He knew He would raise Lazarus from the dead!
There are remarkable differences between the Jesus of the Synoptic Gospel
and Jesus written about in the Gospel of John!
Otherwise He could have turned to his disciples, Mary and Martha and said :
“Go preach the kingdom of God!”
But He did not do that……
Think about it!
Also, in the Old Testament I recall that we are not to drink blood,
or did God change his mind?
Obviously, at the Last Last Supper of the Synoptic Gospels after he had died but not risen,
it was wine that was offered and not blood, right?
