    Peter Denied Jesus 3 Times. Then Jesus Asked Him This. (John 21:15 to 25)

    Peter denied Jesus three times. After the resurrection, Jesus asks Peter one question three times: “Do you love Me?” In the final episode of our journey through the Gospel of John, we walk through John 21:15 to 25 and see Jesus restore Peter in the exact place of his greatest failure. But Jesus does more than forgive him. He commissions him again. We also look at what it means to feed Jesus’ sheep, why Peter is told how he will die, and the final command Jesus gives in the Gospel of John: “You follow Me.” 📖 Scripture: John 21:15 to 25 🎙️ Bible Bible Bible studies the Bible verse by verse and seeks to understand God’s Word in its context.

    Doubting Thomas Said “My Lord and My God” What Changed His Mind? (John 20:19 to 31)

    Thomas refused to believe Jesus had risen unless he could see the wounds for himself. Instead of rejecting Thomas for his doubt, Jesus met him in it. One week later, Thomas went from “I will never believe” to one of the clearest declarations about Jesus in the entire Gospel: “My Lord and my God.” In this episode of Bible Bible Bible, we walk through John 20:19 to 31 and explore doubt, the resurrected body of Jesus, the mission of the Church, the Holy Spirit, and why John says he wrote his Gospel in the first place. 📖 Scripture: John 20:19 to 31 🎙️ Bible Bible Bible studies the Bible verse by verse and seeks to understand God's Word in its context.

    Jesus Said “It Is Finished” — But What Was Actually Finished? (John 19:28-42)

    When Jesus cried “It is finished,” He wasn't simply saying His life was over. He was declaring that the work He came to accomplish had been completed. In Part 2 of our study of the crucifixion, we walk through John 19:28-42 and unpack the meaning of Jesus' final words, the Passover imagery surrounding His death, the blood and water from His pierced side, and the remarkable Old Testament prophecies fulfilled at the cross. We also follow Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus as they bury Jesus and ask an important question before we reach the resurrection: Did Jesus really die? 📖 Scripture: John 19:28-42 (ESV) 🎙️ Bible Bible Bible — studying the Bible verse by verse and seeking to understand God's Word in its context. 🔔 Subscribe as we continue into John 20 and the resurrection of Jesus.

    How Could a Crucified Man Be King? The Scandal of the Cross (John 19:17-27)

    The cross is so familiar to us today that it's easy to forget just how shocking it was. To the Roman world, crucifixion was a humiliating death reserved for slaves and criminals. Yet above Jesus' head were the words: “Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews.”In Part 1 of our study of the crucifixion, we walk through John 19:17-27 and unpack what actually happened at Golgotha, why the cross was so scandalous to both Jews and Romans, and how Jesus is crowned King through the very suffering meant to humiliate Him.We also explore the meaning behind “the place of the skull,” why Jesus was crucified between two criminals, the significance of His title being written in three languages, and the remarkable fulfillment of Psalm 22 as Roman soldiers cast lots for His clothing. Finally, we see Jesus caring for His mother even while hanging on the cross.📖 Scripture: John 19:17-27 (ESV)🎙️ Bible Bible Bible is a verse-by-verse podcast hosted by brothers Stephen and Ben Joffer.

To the Roman world, kings conquered their enemies—they weren't crucified by them. Yet John presents the cross as the very place where Jesus is revealed and crowned as the true King.In Part 1 of our study of the crucifixion, we're walking through John 19:17-27 and looking at Golgotha, the reality of crucifixion, Psalm 22, and why the cross turned the world's understanding of power completely upside down.#John19 #Crucifixion #Jesus #TheCross #BibleStudy #GospelOfJohn #ChristianPodcast #BiblePodcast #JesusChrist

    Why Did Jesus Wear a Crown of Thorns? It Wasn’t Just Mockery (John 19:1-16)

    Why was Jesus given a crown of thorns? The Roman soldiers meant it as mockery—but within the larger story of Scripture, the thorns point all the way back to the curse in Genesis. In this episode of Bible Bible Bible, we walk through John 19:1-16 verse by verse as Jesus is flogged, crowned with thorns, presented before the crowd, and ultimately sentenced to crucifixion. We explore how Jesus takes the curse of sin upon Himself, why Pilate repeatedly declares Him innocent, and the deeper meaning behind the words, “Behold the man.” We also unpack why Pilate becomes afraid when he hears Jesus called the Son of God, what Jesus means when He says Pilate's authority was “given from above,” and the devastating significance of the chief priests declaring, “We have no king but Caesar.” Ultimately, John brings us face-to-face with the innocent King taking the punishment we deserved—and the forgiveness He offers even to those who rejected Him. 📖 Scripture: John 19:1-16 (ESV) 🎙️ Bible Bible Bible is a verse-by-verse podcast hosted by brothers Stephen and Ben Joffer.
