Book 2: An Illumination of the Gospel of JohnPart 3: The Last MasterHere is part 3 of 4 in our Illumination of the Gospel of John. In this episode Erik and I discuss the last moments of Jesus with his disciples.  We compare Jesus' attitude to the stoic attitude of Socrates in Plato's Phaedo.  We consider what it means that Jesus elevates his disciples to the status of friends, looking at what this means in Scripture.  And we discuss the infilling of the Holy Spirit in relation to the psychological concept of internalization. In this episode:0:00: "The hour has come" - Looking at Ch. 12-17 of John3:00: The last moments with the disciples5:05: Comparison with Plato's Phaedo6:05: Is Jesus stoic like Socrates?8:32: The angst of Jesus11:05: Jesus the human and Christ the God12:35: The betrayer at the table 16:02: When did Jesus realize who would betray him?18:28: Speculations on kenosis and incarnation21:10: On friendship love: Phileo23:48: Moses' friendship with God24:48: Jesus' friendship with God25:59: "No longer do I call you servants, but friends"27:22: Jesus graduates his disciples30:12: Why is it better for Jesus to go away? vis-a-vis mentorship?34:05: Psychological internalization and the infilling of the Spirit36:35: Pentecost - God becomes Open Source42:12: The Holy Spirit as "Paraklete" - Encourager46:10: Divergence, tension, and reconciliation of Peter & Paul48:22: Recap of this section and prospective of part 451:40: Premonitions of the Johannine church, conversations to come53:56: The imminent descent for the disciples, Jesus' prayer for them
