The Cross and the Crown takes a close look at the Passion Week of Christ. Dr. Edersheim was a Christian Jewish scholar who is well-recognized for his knowledge of Jewish society and customs in the time of Jesus. This course will take you behind the scenes as you study Scripture to picture the events as they unfolded. This course is adapted from Book 5 of The Life And Times Of Jesus The Messiah.
"There is probably no man of modern times who possessed such an extensive and accurate knowledge as he [Alfred Edersheim] of the customs, manners, habits of thought, writings, and traditions of the Jews and their leaders, in the days of Christ. His Life and Times of Jesus the Messiah gives a marvellous full, detailed and accurate picture of Judea and its inhabitants...at the beginning of our era. If one were to read but half a dozen books, in addition to the Bible, Edersheim's great work should be one of the six." Phillip Mauro
We turn once more to follow the steps of Christ, now among the last He trod upon earth. The ‘hymn,’ with which the Paschal Supper ended, had been sung. Probably we are to understand this of the second portion of the Hallel, {Psalm 115 to 118.} sung some time after the third Cup, or else of Psalm 136, which, in the present Ritual, stands near the end of the service. The last Discourses had been spoken, the last Prayer, that of Consecration, had been offered, and Jesus prepared to go forth out of the City, to the Mount of Olives.
The streets could scarcely be said to be deserted, for, from many a house shone the festive lamp, and many a company may still have been gathered; and everywhere was the bustle of preparation for going up to the Temple, the gates of which were thrown open at midnight. Passing out by the gate north of the Temple, we descend into a lonely part of the valley of black Kidron, at that season swelled into a winter torrent. Crossing it, we turn somewhat to the left, where the road leads towards Olivet. Not many steps farther (beyond, and on the other side of the present Church of the Sepulcher of the Virgin) we turn aside from the road to the right — and reach what tradition has since earliest times — and probably correctly, pointed out as ‘Gethsemane,’ the ‘Oil-press.’ It was a small property enclosed - ‘a garden’ in the Eastern sense, where probably, amidst a variety of fruit trees and flowering shrubs, was a lowly, quiet summer-retreat, connected with, or near by, the ‘Olive-press.’ The present Gethsemane is only some seventy steps square, and though its old gnarled olives cannot be those (if such there were) of the time of Jesus, since all trees in that valley — those also which stretched their shadows over Jesus — were hewn down in the Roman siege, they may have sprung from the old roots, or from the odd kernels. But we love to think of this ‘Garden’ as the place where Jesus ‘often’ — not merely on this occasion, but perhaps on previous visits to Jerusalem — gathered with His disciples...
