00:00Now Jesus is presented
00:29before Caiaphas, high priest and son-in-law of Joseph Annas.
00:35Peter is shown following the procession to see how Jesus' trial ends.
00:43Having no way to condemn Jesus other than through false accusations,
00:49since he has preached openly, even though recent events have made them uncomfortable,
00:55the entry into Jerusalem on a donkey and the expulsion of the merchants from the temple,
01:03coupled with criticism of his way of responding to God's plan.
01:09The high priest asks him a key question that is not the reason for the condemnation,
01:15but the later addition in which Jesus, presenting himself as the Son of Man,
01:23He sees himself first sitting at the right hand of God and then as having come in power on the clouds of heaven.
01:32All that, brothers, showing him with divine overtones, enough to accuse him of blasphemy.
01:42And according to Leviticus 24:16, all blasphemy against God is punishable by death.
01:49This condemnation paves the way for the contempt, torture, and mockery that Jesus will suffer during his sentence.
02:01And while Jesus has confessed by oath as Christ and Son of God,
02:08seated at the right hand of the Power and about to come on the clouds of heaven,
02:14Peter will have the opportunity to swear and even utter curses.
02:21He does not know Jesus, but unlike Judas, Peter recognizes his sin.
02:30He repents and cries bitterly.
02:34Since the Jewish authorities lacked the power to send a Jew to his death,
02:41They find themselves needing to continue the trial of Jesus before Pontius Pilate, procurator of Judea.
02:51Furthermore, in order for Pilate to proceed with crucifying Jesus,
02:57It cannot use religious concepts like those used by the Jews as an argument.
03:03That is why Matthew presents the procurator asking Jesus if he is the king of the Jews.
03:11If Jesus has claims against Rome, if he is an enemy of Tiberius,
03:18Therefore, Pilate has the right and obligation to crucify Jesus as an enemy of the Roman people.
03:28Although it is not impossible for a prisoner to be granted a pardon on special occasions,
03:36We have no record of a prisoner being released for the Easter holiday.
03:43The teaching, however, is simple.
03:46They are demanding the release of a criminal and the execution of an innocent person.
03:52Likewise, while Pilate appears to declare Jesus' innocence,
03:58The people accept receiving his blood as if he were a guilty prisoner.
04:05And faced with the people's insistence, Pilate decides to condemn and crucify Jesus.
04:12anticipating its outcome through neglect, flogging, and torture
04:20to weaken the condemned man and shorten the time of death on the cross.
04:27But brothers, Matthew offers us the mockery to which Jesus submitted.
04:33They stripped him and put a purple robe on him.
04:37They place a crown of thorns on his head.
04:41They also place a reed in his hand and bow down before him.
04:46They take off his cloak, put his own clothes on him, and lead him away to be crucified.
04:52The jokes revolve around the idea that Jesus is king, son of David and king of the Jews.
05:02Matthew will emphasize the references to Psalms 22 and 69 more than Mark,
05:10Thus to see in Jesus the image of the faithful servant who suffers scorn, pain and death in his desire for total fidelity to God.
05:23Jesus, aware of his total belonging to God, refuses to drink the liquid offered to him to alleviate his pain during the crucifixion.
05:37The reason for his death is the Roman view of the enemy of Rome, king of the Jews and rival of Caesar, who had to die to avoid all danger.
05:51Matthew wants to offer us a list of characters who mocked Jesus: those who passed by, the chief priests, the scribes and elders, and those who had been crucified with him.
06:08As we already know, the cross was the punishment for criminals against Rome, slaves and delinquents from subjugated peoples, and not a mere ornament to make the narrative and its main character more attractive.
06:25Matthew makes the cosmic elements that appear from noon until three in the afternoon share in the pain prior to Jesus' death.
06:38The hour in which the evangelists claim that Jesus died, although it appears that he was crucified for about six hours.
06:49Jesus prays to the Father, although his prayer seems like a cry of anguish and despair.
06:56At the death of Jesus, the veil of the temple was torn, which neither Mark nor Matthew specify which of the two was torn.
07:07We are taught that from the death of Jesus onwards, everyone has access to God, unlike in the Jewish religion, where only priests have access to the sacred places of the temple.
07:23And the high priest has access, once a year, to the Holy of Holies on the Day of Atonement.
07:33Through Jesus, we all have access to God and his mercy.
07:39Matthew presents us with several women as models of love and fidelity, contrasting them with the twelve.
07:47absent out of fear, and it shows us that love is stronger than any risk or threat.
07:57Jesus is buried with honor, decorum, love, and benevolence.
08:04although every criminal was to be buried on the same day as the sentence,
08:10and not in luxurious tombs like those presented by Matthew.
08:14The women are present and look at the place where Jesus is placed.
08:22This is how the narrative is prepared in which the women are qualified witnesses of the Lord's resurrection.
08:31Since the legend that Jesus' body had been stolen was circulating among the Jews in Matthew's time,
08:40This passage was created to record that in the face of such a threat,
08:47The Jewish authorities asked Pilate to post sentries to prevent this theft,
08:55and a subsequent lie about the supposed resurrection of Jesus.
09:01In all the narratives about the resurrection of Jesus,
09:06Mary Magdalene plays a fundamental role.
09:10We could say that Mary Magdalene is among the female disciples,
09:16what Peter is among the male disciples.
09:20She was never afraid, she didn't get scared or hide.
09:24Therefore, she is the one who has the joy and dignity of being the first to whom the resurrected Lord Jesus appeared.
09:35The angel seated on the rolled stone that leaves the tomb open
09:40It is clear proof of Christ's triumph over death,
09:46triumph that God has granted to Jesus, his servant and beloved son.
09:52The angel's white garment speaks of his status as God's messenger,
09:58And his proof is that he knows that women seek Jesus, the crucified one.
10:04He announces to them that he is not in the tomb,
10:08because he has been placed in God's hands forever through the resurrection.
10:15And the proof of this resurrection is that the tomb has been left completely empty.
10:23The angel reminds the women that Jesus had promised to rise again and has fulfilled his word and the words of God.
10:32But the encounter with the risen Christ does not take place in the city that refused to believe and to give Jesus its allegiance,
10:43but in the place where the disciples were called and transformed by their friendship and intimacy with Jesus, in Galilee.
10:53They will experience a new encounter and a renewed friendship.
10:59That's where love, enchantment, and infatuation were born.
11:05There, where Jesus said his name and invited them to follow him.
11:09And this great news, this gospel, cannot be preached slowly and without enthusiasm.
11:19Love runs and makes others run.
11:22An event of such magnitude cannot be hidden.
11:27It is necessary to communicate this as soon as possible.
11:31because God is establishing his dwelling place among men.
11:36This desire to communicate with Jesus causes Jesus himself to go out to meet the women who are filled with fear,
11:45But at the same time, they happily go to find their companions to announce the encounter they have had with their beloved.
11:55To conclude his work, Matthew presents the disciples returning to Galilee and meeting Jesus,
12:04to whom they pay the homage that is due to God,
12:09kneeling before Him, although some had their doubts.
12:15Jesus acknowledges that all the power he displayed during his ministry he had received from the Father.
12:23And now Jesus communicates the same power and the same mission to his disciples.
12:29Matthew had opened his work speaking of the Emmanuel of Isaiah, the God with us.
12:57Well, it is at this moment that the evangelist shows us that Jesus is the true Emmanuel,
13:05who will remain with us all the days that the cosmos lasts until his final arrival in the eternal kingdom of God.
13:15Jesus has promised to remain with the church and will do so until the kingdom of God is fully manifested among the men who await it with love and longing.
13:30Brothers, I hope you find all this teaching to your liking,
13:36But mainly that we can put it into practice every day so that we can do what Jesus commanded us.
13:46See you in our last session of the Gospel of Matthew, where we will look at the pastoral theme.
13:53Blessings.
