bullet"When next you dwell in imagination upon the delights of some favourite sin, think of its effects as you behold them here! See its fearful effects in the garden of Gethsemane, and desire, by the help of God, deeply to hate and to forsake that enemy, to ransom sinners from whom the Redeemer prayed, agonized, and bled."
bulletFrom Wesley's Notes. John Wesley (1703-1791).
bullet"Our Lord passed most of the time on the cross in silence: yet seven sentences which he spoke thereon are recorded by the four evangelists, though no one evangelist has recorded them all. Hence it appears that the four Gospels are, as it were, four parts, which, joined together, make one symphony. Sometimes one of these only, sometimes two or three, sometimes all sound together."

bullet "First Thoughts on Year C Gospel Passages in the Lectionary: Christ the King," William Loader, Murdoch University, Uniting Church in Australia.
bullet"To affirm that Jesus is king is to affirm a different kind of kingship. But it is not a kingship which abdicates into an inner or other world. Powerless is simply passivity if no power is taken up."

bullet "The Crucified King," analysis and reflections by Mike Hoy, in Sabbatheology by The Crossings Community of St. Louis.

bullet Exegetical Notes (Passion Sunday) by Brian Stoffregen at CrossMarks Christian Resources.
bullet"The Gospel of Luke ends with Jesus telling the disciples: "Repentance for the forgiveness of sins shall be proclaimed in my name to all nations." That is the primary message of Jesus in Luke. Forgiveness was available for Judas, but he wouldn't repent. Forgiveness is available for each of us, will we repent?"

bullet "Standing with the Victims," Darrell Jodock, The Christian Century, 1995.
bullet "Have a Happy Day," William Willimon, The Christian Century, 1986. At Religion Online.
bullet"For someone to be simultaneously atheistic and optimistic strikes us as the dumbest of all possible attitudes. Contrary to Marx, how can one have it both ways except through the most exaggerated effort at ignorance? For roosters, optimism comes easily."

bullet "Maundy Thursday: Thomas's Testimony," J. Barrie Shepherd, The Christian Century, 1987. At Religion Online.

bulletArticles & Background:
bullet "The Enthronement," The Politics of God: The Way to the Cross, Eugene C. Kreider, Texts in Context, Word & World, Luther Northwestern Theological School, 1986.
bullet"Salvation is not a promise for the world to come. It is tied directly to the present world in which the God of all creation brings salvation in this world through the Messiah precisely by standing in freedom over against the rulers of this world."
bullet "Plot to Kill Jesus," "Last Supper," "Peter's Denial," "Arrest of Jesus," "Sanhedrin Trial of Jesus," "Pilate in the Canonical Gospel Accounts," "Herod Antipas," "Death and Resurrection of Jesus," "Joseph of Arimathea," wikipedia.

bullet "Narrative Insights into the Crucifixion of Jesus in Luke," Carrie L. Lewis, Currents in Theology and Mission, 2005.
bullet"Who really has power in this world? How is that power manifested? Do the rulers of the world have power over my life? Can I trust this Jesus who is telling me that the power of God is greater?"
bullet "Resistance to the Carnivalization of Jesus: Scripture in the Lucan Passion Narrative," Robert L. Brawley, Semeia 69-70: Intertextuality and the Bible, 1995.
bullet "Refiguring Space in the Lukan Passion Narrative," Michael Colin McKeever, Judson College.
bullet"Indeed, not only because of the greater awareness of the social dimensions of spatiality which existed in antiquity, but also because Luke is actively engaging this dimension, in entering the world of Luke-Acts readers partake of a narrative refiguring of space in all its social and sacred amplitude--a refiguring of profound dimensions."
bullet "Jesus' First Trial: Messiah and Son of God (Luke 22:66-71)," J.J. Kilgallen. In Biblica 80 (1999). Abstract.
bullet"It is Luke’s intention that the reader understand Son of God in a way that admittedly the Sanhedrin did not. The laws of narratology indicate that Luke 1,35, a part of the Lucan introduction, be used by the reader to interpret Son of God at Luke 22,70."
bulletAgony of Christ (Sweat of Blood), from the Catholic Encyclopedia.
bullet "Institution Narrative of Luke 22:19-20," James Still at Internet Infidels.
bullet"In the gospels, issues involving fasting, eating, and drinking plague Jesus."
