Question 223: How did the sleeping disciples know what Word did Yeshua uttered in the garden?
Answer:
One of the functions of Ruach HaKodesh was to bring all things to the remembrance or knowledge of the Apostles. Though the Evangelists record most fully the events they witnessed, they record other matters of which they could have had no knowledge except by revelation. This may have been one of them. But it is not stated that they slept all the time they were with Moshiach in the Garden. The account rather implies men struggling to keep awake. Moshiach said of them that their spirit was willing. They may have heard the few words they record, though missing the remainder of what may have been and probably was, a long prayer.
Question 222: What was the value of the thirty pieces of silver that Judas received?
Answer:
The pieces of silver were probably shekels. It would be about the average pay for four months of work. Zechariah had predicted the whole transaction (see Zechariah 2:12, 13): "They weighed for My price thirty pieces of silver and Elohiym said cast it unto the potter," etc. It is not likely that Judas acted from avarice only, though he was fond of money. He probably meant to force Moshiach's hand. He may have thought him backward in claiming the Kingdom and supposed that if He was driven to bay, He would deliver Himself by a miracle and declare Himself King. That theory is confirmed by his committing suicide when he discovered the consequences of his act.
Frequently asked questions and answers:
Question 221: Was Judas at the institution of Elohiym’s Supper?
Answer:
It is doubtful whether Judas was present at the institution of Elohiym's Supper. He was present at the foot-washing and at the early part of the feast, but he could not remain after Moshiach spoke of His imminent betrayal and showed His knowledge of the identity of the guilty man. Then Judas went out, but we do not know whether the breaking of the bread and the blessing of the cup had already taken place: from Luke's narrative it would appear that they had; Matthew and Mark however, mention the ceremony after the conversation about the betrayal, which would imply that Judas was not present at the ceremony. The Evangelists were concerned more about the spiritual significance of the events of that agitating night than about presenting those events in consecutive order.
Thought for Today: Tuesday January 28
I have asked myself hundreds of times why YHVH sometimes allows evil to flourish – and I do not have an answer. Evil is real however, and we all ignore it at our peril. Evil is so real that it cost YHVH’s Son Yeshua His life! But I do know this: Even in the darkest hours, YHVH is our refuge and strength. Not money, military might, not diplomacy or whatever – only YHVH!
