Matthew 235
30
Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and
upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression,
and to make an end of sins, and to make
reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in
everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the
vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.
Know therefore and understand, that from the
going forth of the commandment to restore and to
build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall
be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks the
street shall be built again, and the wall, even
in troublous times. And after threescore and two
weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for
himself and the people of the prince that shall
come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary
and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and
unto the end of the war desolations are
determined. And he shall confirm the covenant
with many for one week and in the midst of the
week he shall cause the sacrifice and the
oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of
abominations he shall make it desolate, even
until the consummation, and that determined shall
be poured upon the desolate.
Daniel
924-27

Chronology Note
What day did Judas betray Jesus?
Marys anointing the feet of Jesus occurred on
Saturday evening at Bethany (Jn 121). Matt Mk
list the event as happening later, perhaps
because of the prospect of Jesus death and to
show the motive behind Judas betrayal (Jn
124-5). Judas betrayal more than likely
occurred during the middle of the week because
their first intention was to wait till after the
passover and their anger toward Jesus would also
have been stronger after the day of conflict
which was Tuesday.

Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted,
which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his
heel against me.                          Psa

33
The Passover lamb was slain on the 14th day of
Nisan to be eaten of the 15th day. It was common
to blend the slaying of the passover, the
passover feast and the feast of unleavened bread
as one great festival to describe the entire 8
days Cf Mk 141-2 Lk 227. Note John 1828.
John uses the term passover ten times obviously
referring to the 8 day festival
34
Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, and against
the man that is my fellow, saith the LORD of
hosts smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be
scattered and I will turn mine hand upon the
little ones.                                Zech
