The timetable of Jesus
Before turning to the chapter which introduces the events that will lead to the arrest and trial of Jesus, Luke tells us about what, in the last weeks of his life, occupied his time. The program of Jesus was divided into two equal periods to content:
1st period: day
now installed in Jerusalem, Jesus, Luke says, his time spent in the temple to teach everyone that many, came to listen. More than just physical space, Jesus s'accaparait fully and unashamedly spiritual field. In Jerusalem, the temple, home of God, He was, as Lord, with Him and never hesitated to show it. Low extraction plant humble and modest, Jesus ends here, in human terms, the route that was hers by bringing it to its full conclusion. Because it not only as man and prophet that He will be dismissed, but according to what the prophet Malachi announced as the Lord of this covenant in His temple: Evil 3.1 .
2nd period: night
If Jesus spent the day in the temple, it was night on the Mount of Olives. At the time of sleep, there is no doubt that Jesus added, as he was accustomed, times of prayer: Luke 6.12. There, one evening, Judas, knowing that usually lead the troops of soldiers sent by the religious leaders to stop: Luke 22.47. Although aware of the danger that awaits him, Jesus does not look like dictators who often feel threatened, to evade it by constantly changing the places where he spends his nights. His refuge is in God, why and how could he escape: Psalm 11.1.
