Section IV
The Texts that were attributed directly to the Old
Testament in the Gospels
In this section we will examine the texts of the Old
Testament that were attributed directly to it, and the Gospels authors said
that they have not been fulfilled, and achieved only in Jesus and his time and
his generation, to find out what is the truth and the reality of them, and if
the Gospels authors have told the truth or not.
19 - The Source of the Story how Jesus declared the
Betrayal of Judas Iscariot
Matthew 26:21 Now as they were eating, He said, "Assuredly, I say to you, one of
you will betray Me."
Matthew 26:22 And they were exceedingly sorrowful, and each
of them began to say to Him, "Lord, is it I?"
Matthew 26:23 He answered and said, "He who dipped his
hand with Me in the dish will betray Me.
Matthew 26:24 "The
Son of Man indeed goes just as it is written of Him,
but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been good
for that man if he had not been born."
Matthew 26:25 Then Judas, who was betraying Him, answered
and said, "Rabbi, is it I?" He said to him, "You have said it."
Mark 14:17 In the evening He came with the twelve.
Mark 14:18 Now as they sat and ate, Jesus said, "Assuredly, I say to you, one of you who
eats with Me will betray Me."
Mark 14:19 And they began to be sorrowful, and to say to Him one
by one, "Is it I?" And
another said, "Is it I?"
Mark 14:20 He answered and said to them, "It
is one of the twelve, who dips with Me in the dish.
Mark 14:21 "The
Son of Man indeed goes just as it is written of Him,
but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been good
for that man if he had never been born."
Luke 22:21 "But behold, the hand of My betrayer is with Me on the table.
Luke 22:22 "And
truly the Son of Man goes as it has been determined, but
woe to that man by whom He is betrayed!"
Luke 22:23 Then they began to question among themselves, which of
them it was who would do this thing.
John 13:16 "Most
assuredly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master; nor is he
who is sent greater than he who sent him.
John 13:17 "If
you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.
John 13:18 "I do not speak concerning all of you. I know whom I have
chosen; but that the Scripture may be fulfilled, ‘He who
eats bread with Me has lifted up his heel against Me’.
John 13:19 "Now
I tell you before it comes, that when it does come to pass, you may believe
that I AM.
John 13:20 "Most
assuredly, I say to you, he who receives whomever I send receives Me; and he
who receives Me receives Him who sent Me."
John 13:21 When Jesus had said these things, He was troubled
in spirit, and testified and said, "Most assuredly, I say to you, one of you will betray Me."
John 13:22 Then the disciples looked at one another,
perplexed about whom He spoke.
John 13:23 Now there was leaning on Jesus’ bosom one of His
disciples, whom Jesus loved.
John 13:24 Simon Peter therefore motioned to him to ask who it was
of whom He spoke.
John 13:25 Then, leaning back on Jesus’ breast, he said to Him,
"Lord, who is it?"
John 13:26 Jesus answered, "It is he to whom I shall give a piece of bread when I
have dipped it." And having dipped the bread, He gave
it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon.
John 13:27 Now after the piece of bread, Satan entered him.
Then Jesus said to him, "What
you do, do quickly."
John 13:28 But no one at the table knew for what reason He said
this to him.
John 13:29 For some thought, because Judas had the money box,
that Jesus had said to him, "Buy those
things we need for the feast," or that he should give something to the
poor.
John 13:30 Having received the piece of bread, he then went out
immediately. And it was night.
These texts show how Jesus declared the betrayal of
Judas Iscariot, and we notice several differences among them including the
following:
The first is the way of declaration about the one who will
betray him; Matthew and Mark have written "He who dipped his hand with me
in the dish will betray me", and Luke wrote "the hand of my betrayer
is with me on the table", while John has written a different story in all
details as we read in his text, and this way or method of writing and the
difference in details raises many doubts about the truth of the texts as a
whole. So what was preventing Jesus to declare Judas by name, if what had been
written is true?
As well as his talking of Judas; saying "He who
dipped his hand with me in the dish will betray me", "who eats with
me will betray me", "who dips with me in the dish" and "
the hand of my betrayer is with me on the table", and the first thing
comes to the mind of man that there are thousands of people who were eating
with him, so that he could not indicate to him directly or to be named, while
the Gospels wrote that there were only twelve men, and all of them were eating
with him, and dipping their hands in the dish, so why didn't he tell them that
Judas will betray him?!
As for John, he had written another story, which
have nothing to do with what was written by the other three, and this shows
that what they have written was not through the revelation or the inspiration
of the Holy Spirit, or even through the same knowledge, otherwise they should
write the same story.
The second is the reason of the betrayal of Judas Iscariot;
Matthew said "The Son of Man indeed goes just as it is written of
Him", and Mark wrote "The Son of Man indeed goes just as it is
written of Him", and Luke wrote "And truly the Son of Man goes as it
has been determined; while John has shown the reason by saying that the
Scripture may be fulfilled, "He who eats bread with Me has lifted up his
heel against Me", from these phrases we notice that Matthew and Mark agreed
to say that the Son of Man indeed goes just as it is written of Him, and here I
wonder what is written about this Son of Man, except what has been written in
Daniel's Book, which is as follows:
Daniel 7:13 "I was watching in the night visions, And behold,
One like the Son of Man, Coming with
the clouds of heaven! He came to the Ancient of Days, And they brought Him near
before Him.
Daniel 7:14 Then to Him was given dominion and glory and a
kingdom, That all peoples, nations, and languages should serve Him. His
dominion is an everlasting dominion,
Which shall not pass away, And His kingdom the one Which shall not be destroyed.
So, is there in this text any indication about the betrayal
of Judas or about the crucifixion?!
For this, Luke wrote as it has been determined, not
as it is written, because there is no text that speaks of this Son of Man
except this text, though there are several texts speak of the son of man in the
Old Testament, yet they do not refer to the son of man who was mentioned in the
text of Daniel, while John has said that the reason of Judas' betrayal is that
the Scripture may be fulfilled, ‘He who eats bread with Me has lifted up his
heel against Me’.
And this paragraph written in the Psalm 41, and we
will review it to find out if it has been fulfilled in the time of Jesus and
the betrayal of Judas or not, which is as follows:
Psalm 41:1 (To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.) Blessed is he who considers the poor; The LORD will deliver him in time of
trouble.
Psalm 41:2 The LORD will preserve him and keep
him alive, And he will
be blessed on the earth; You will not deliver him to the will of
his enemies.
Psalm 41:3 The LORD will strengthen him on his bed of
illness; You will sustain him on his sickbed.
The Psalm begins by saying blessed the one who
considers the poor, and this person is supposed to be Jesus according to the
understanding of John and the churches, because he quoted the paragraph from
this Psalm, and this understanding is incorrect, because the end of Jesus as is
written in Gospels inconsistent with the person who has been mentioned here,
because if the Psalm was talking about Jesus, the Lord should deliver him in
time of trouble and preserve him and keep him alive as the preceding paragraphs
said, and will not be crucified as the Gospels said!
Psalm 41:4 I said, "LORD, be merciful to
me; Heal my soul, for I have sinned against You."
In this paragraph, we read that the speaker asking
the Lord for mercy, as well as he asked healing his soul for he has sinned
against Him, which proves that this Psalm was not talking about a god and the
son of God and one of the three Persons who are one and have the same nature
and essence but about an ordinary man.
Moreover, what are the sins, which Jesus has sinned
against the LORD; that make his soul sick, which forcing him to ask mercy and
healing of them?
Furthermore, this paragraph contradicts the laws of
faith of the various churches, which says that the three Persons are equal in the
ability, the attributes and the essence and the nature, because as we read that
the speaker, who is considered Jesus by John, asks the Lord for the mercy and
healing because he has sinned against Him, and this refers to the lack of
equality, unless if we suppose that these three Persons who dwelt, and lived in
the body of Jesus have nothing to do with the Lord, the Creator of the heavens
and the earth, and they have sinned against Him, which forcing them to ask
mercy and healing their soul!
Psalm 41:5 My enemies speak evil of me: "When
will he die, and his name perish?"
Psalm 41:6 And if he comes to see me, he speaks lies; His heart gathers iniquity to itself; When he goes out, he tells it.
Psalm 41:7 All who hate me whisper together against me;
Against me they devise my hurt.
Psalm 41:8 "An evil disease," they say, "clings to him. And now that he lies down, he will rise up no more".
These paragraphs talk in general, and there is no
any reference to the crucifixion of Jesus, or that Jesus is one of the three
Persons who are one and have the same nature and essence!
While David, who wrote the Psalm, had spent many
years of his life fighting against his enemies, and has been saved of many
tribulations by the LORD, and his enemies have spoken evil of him, and who hate
him whisper together against him, and they have devised his hurt, as is written
in the Old Testament.
Therefore, the Psalm fully applies to David, while
if we say that the Psalm was talking about Jesus, there will be many
contradictions between what is written about Jesus and the content of the Psalm.
Psalm 41:9 Even my own familiar friend in whom I trusted, Who
ate my bread, Has lifted up his
heel against me.
King James Version
Psalm 41:9 Yea, mine own
familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread,
hath lifted up [his] heel against me.
Hebrew Version
Psalm 41:10 Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, who
did eat of my bread, {N} hath lifted up his heel against me.
Septuagint Version
Psalm 41:9 For even the man of my peace,
in whom I trusted, who ate my bread, lifted up his heel against me.
This is the paragraph that was quoted by John, and as
we notice that John has distorted it!!! Because he says "but that the
Scripture may be fulfilled, ‘He who eats bread with Me has lifted up his heel
against Me’", while the text of the Psalm in all versions says that who
ate my bread, has lifted up his heel against me, and this manipulation and distortion
of the text proves two things. The first is that the Gospels have not
been written through the revelation or the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. The
second is that they have not been written according to the historical
events that were seen or heard from trusted and reliable sources, but according
to the way or the method or the approach of writing the Gospels, which is the
quoting from texts the Old Testament and reformulating them in their accounts
without paying any attention to the contradiction with the other Gospels, as is
the case in this story, to bestow a state of credibility, reliability and
holiness on their Gospels.
Psalm 41:10 But You, O LORD, be merciful to me, and
raise me up, That I may repay them.
Psalm 41:11 By this I know that You are well pleased with me,
Because my enemy does not triumph over me.
Psalm 41:12 As for me, You uphold me in my integrity, And set me
before Your face forever.
In these paragraphs the speaker says "by this I
know that the LORD is well pleased with me, because my enemy does not triumph
over me". And there is no doubt that it does not refer to Jesus, because
the enemies of Jesus not only triumphed over him, but they have whipped him and
beaten him and slapped him and spat on his face and mocked him and in the end
crucified him.
So if all this has already happened with Jesus,
could we say that the Lord had not pleased with him, because if He had pleased
with Jesus, He will not allow his enemies to triumph over him?!
Psalm 41:13 Blessed be
the LORD God of Israel From everlasting to everlasting! Amen and Amen.
Blessed be the Lord God of Israel from everlasting
to everlasting, the Creator of the heavens and the earth, who among the gods
there is none like Him, who there is no God besides Him, who does not let man
prevail against Him, and the heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain
Him, and He who was not the one who lives on the earth and in the woman's womb
for nine months, and a handful of people have triumphed over him. Amen.
From all of the above, we conclude that the law "do not accept the lying and false" applies to this story.
