Seventy evangelists sent forth (Luke 10.1-20).

   

 At this point in the life of Jesus Christ is it becomes especially difficult to arrange the events with any approximation of their actual sequence. The gospels of John and Luke give the next series of events, in the order:

(1) John 7.2 - 8.59

(2) Luke 10.25 - 10.13

(3) John 9.1 - 10.54

According to Wieseler's Chronological synopsis, there are the following parallels:

Luke 9.51 - 13.21 runs parallel with John 7.10 - 10.42, the departure of Jesus in Luke 9.51, being the same as that referred to in John 7.10.

Luke 8.22 - 17.10 is parallel with John 11.1-54, both having certain common features.

Luke 17.11 - 19.28 is parallel with John 11.55 - 12.11.

Wieseler attempts to fix the following dates:

Jesus leaves Galilee about the time of the Feast of Tabernacles, 15th Tishri - 12 October 29 AD. He reaches Jerusalem and teaches in the Temple in the middle of the feast (ver 14) after having passed through Samaria and sent forth the seventy. On the sabbath of the Feast occur the events described in John 7.14-53, i.e. 22nd Tishri (October 19). On this sabbath also occurred the events of John 8.1,2,12 - 10.21.

John 11.1-54 (comp. Luke 13.22 - 17.10) treats of Jesus' last journey but one to Judea. The following is the arrangement of the Synoptic narratives according to Wieseler:

Luke 17.11 - 18.14
Mark 10.1-12 ( = Matthew 19.1-12)
Luke 18.15-17 ( = Mark 10.13-16; Matt 19.13-15)
Luke 18.18-30 ( = Mark 10.17-31; Matt 19.16-19,30)
Matthew 20.1-16
Luke 18.31-34 ( = Mark 10.32-34; Matt 20.17-19)
Mark 10.35-45 (Matt 20.20-28)
Luke 18.35-43 (Mark 10.46-52; Matt 20.29-34)
Luke 19.1-10
Luke 19.11-28 (Matt 25.14-30)

Others would make the order:

John 7.2 - 11.54
Luke 9.51 - 18.14

but difficulties arise with this.

Feast of Tabernacles (October) (John 7.2 foll.). Jesus goes to the feast privately.

 THE CRUCIFIXION DATE

The following extract is from "Today, Tomorrow and the Great Beyond" by John S. Fox.

"Jesus Christ, born in the year 3996 AM (6 x 666), began His ministry in the year 4026 AM, and was crucified in the month of Nisan, the first sacred month, or seventh civil month of the year 4029 AM (or 4029.5 AM).

"The actual day of the week of the Crucifixion is not easy to ascertain. If our Lord Jesus had been crucified on a Friday He could not have been 'three days and three nights' in the grave, as indicated in Matthew 12.40. With regard to this, Professor C.A.L. Totten (USA) states:

'The Crucifixion was Thursday, 14th of 7th civil (1st sacred) month 4029 AM, or 30 AD. The special passover kept by the Lord and His disciples was that of the accurate astronomical moon. It was prepared Wednesday afternoon, 13th, i.e. before its sunset ending; and eaten on Thursday evening, 14th, i.e. after the sunset beginning of that day which was the day of Preparation before the Jewish Feast day. The latter followed the mandate of the Sanhedrin who went by the Phasis of the moon, and were thus one day late. This often happened in Jewish history (vide Josephus), and is verified by the work of the Reverend J.K. Aldrich, entitled "The Day of our Saviour's Crucifixion". The 15th, Friday, was the Jewish Feast day - or High day of the Holy Convocation, and during it the Saviour was in the grave - during the whole of it. The modern and western mistake ... of Good Friday, to the contrary notwithstanding! The 16th was Saturday (old Sabbath); and on the 17th (Sunday) the Lord arose, after the first twelve hours of its evening were over. This was resurrection day, Sunday, the first Lord's Day: thus he was three days and three nights in the heart of the earth (Matthew 12.40) and yet He arose the third day as foretold (Matthew 16.21 etc.).'

"Since the correct Passover day is the fourteenth day of the first (sacred) month (Leviticus 23.5 & Exodus 12.6), followed by the Holy convocation on the fifteenth day (Letivituc 23.6-7), it would appear that Professor Totten is probably correct ..." Good Friday, therefore would be Thursday 14th Nisan 4029.5 AM."

 Christianity introduced into Britain by Joseph of Arimathea, perhaps forced to flee from the Holy Land by the Jews and Romans because of his exceedingly tender favour towards the Nazarene whom they had crucified. Twelve hides of land were granted at "Glastonbury?" in England. Author Adrian Gilbert in his recently published book (1998) "The Holy Kingdom", writes that these hides were granted at "Glastennen" - a location in Wales.

NOTE: From hereon in, through the next decade or two, any reference to the place called "Glastonbury" in England, with regard to Joseph of Arimathea, Mary the mother of Jesus, and the twelve disciples, may actually be the place in Wales called "Glastennen", as revealed by the author Adrian Gilbert.

 Enc. Britannica - " In Plutarch's dialogue concerning the features of the Moon's disk, one of the characters, named Lucius, deduces from the phases of the Moon and the phenomenon of eclipses a similarity between the Earth and the Moon and illustrates his argument by means of a recent eclipse of the Sun,

'which, beginning just after noon, showed us plainly many stars in all parts of the heavens, and produced a chill in the temperature like that of twilight.'

"This eclipse has been identified with one that occurred on 20th March 71 AD, which was total in Greece. Whether Plutarch is describing a real, and therefore datable, event or is merely basing his description on accounts written by earlier authors has been disputed, however. Later in the same dialogue, Lucius refers to a brightness that appears around the Moon's rim in total eclipses of the Sun. This is one of the earliest known allusions to the solar corona. Plutarch was unusually interested in eclipses, and his "Parallel Lives", an account of the deeds and character of illustrious Greeks and Romans, contains many references to both lunar and solar eclipses of considerable historical importance. There also are frequent records of eclipses in other ancient Greek literature."

'On the day wu-wu, the 1st day of the 12th lunar month, the Sun was eclipsed; it was almost complete. On the Earth it became like evening. It was 11 degrees in the constellation of the Maid. The woman ruler (i.e. the Empress Dowager) showed aversion to it. Two years and three months later, Teng, the Empress Dowager, died.'

"The date of this eclipse on the Chinese calendar is equivalent to 18th January AD 120. On this exact day there had occurred an eclipse of the Sun that was very large in China. Such chronological precision is typical of almost all Chinese records of celestial phenomena. The above-cited text is particularly interesting because it clearly describes an obscuration of the Sun, which, though causing dusk conditions, was not quite total where it was seen. The place of observation was probably Lo-yang, the Chinese capital of the time. With regard to the accompanying prognostication, it should be pointed out that a delay of two or three years between the occurrence of a celestial omen and its presumed fulfillment is quite typical of chinese astrology."

 It is now 1000 years since Rome was founded in 753 BC. Rome attracts men and ideas from all over the Meditteranean. She has become a meeting place and a melting pot, rather than the home of an existing people. After 1000 years she has incorporated every other civilised community from Britain to Arabia. Rome is cosmopolitan and "all the world is Roman".

Constantine's accession to power in the Roman Empire. At the close of the ten years' persecution, the great Emperor "Constantine" who had been converted to Christianity, defeated the pagan Emperors and issued a decree of toleration to all Christians upon his accession in the year 313 AD.
During the next twenty years Christianity became steadily more and more popular until by 337 AD a very large percentage of the population of the Roman Empire had become professing Christians.

 From 395 AD onwards, Western Rome came under the rule of the Emperor Honorius; and Eastern Rome came under the rule of the Emperor Arcadius (on 17th January 395 AD) from whom its name "Arcadia" originated.
The Eastern half of Rome broke all allegiance to its previous ruling centre, the city of Rome in the West.
Western Rome became divided further at a much later date (476 AD), nearly a century after the split into the two halves in 395 AD.

 Enc. Britannica - " Hydatius, bishop of Chaves (in Portugal), was one of the few known chroniclers of the early Middle Ages. He seems to have had an unusual interest in eclipses, and he recounted the occurrence of five such events (involving both the Sun and the Moon) between 447 AD and 464 AD. In each case, only brief details are given, and Hydatius gives the years of occurrence in terms of the Olympiads (i.e. reckoning time from the first Olympic Games, in 776 BC). During the total lunar eclipe of 2nd March 462 AD (this date is known to be accurate), the Moon is said to have been 'turned into blood'. Statements of this kind are common throughout the Middle Ages, presumably inspired by the Old Testament allusion in Joel 2.31. Similar descriptions, however, are occasionally found in non-Christian sources as, for example, a Chinese one of 498 AD."
