Are You feeling Lonely? Jesus can Relate NKJV Original Version


Lonely at His birth on earth

Luke 2:1-7 And it came to pass in those days that a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be registered.

This census first took place while Quirinius was governing Syria.

So all went to be registered, everyone to his own city.

Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David,

to be registered with Mary, his betrothed wife, who was with child.

So it was, that while they were there, the days were completed for her to be delivered.

And she brought forth her firstborn Son, and wrapped Him in swaddling cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.

Matthew 20:17-19 Now Jesus, going up to Jerusalem, took the twelve disciples aside on the road and said to them,

"Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be betrayed to the chief priests and to the scribes; and they will condemn Him to death,

"and deliver Him to the Gentiles to mock and to scourge and to crucify. And the third day he will rise again."

Lonely at His death and Resurrection on earth

Matthew 26:36-47 Then Jesus came to them to a place called Gethsemane, and said to the disciples, “Sit here while I go and pray over there.”                                          

And He took with Him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and He began to be sorrowful and deeply distressed.                

Then He said to them, “My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death, “Stay here and watch with Me.”                                                                                          

He went a little further and fell on His face, and prayed, saying, “O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will.”                                                                                              

Then He came to the disciples and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, “What! Could you not watch with Me one hour?                                                                          

“Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation, The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”                                    

Again, a second time, He went away and prayed, saying, “O My Father, if this cup cannot pass from Me unless I drink it, Your will be done.”                            

And He came and found them asleep again, for their eyes were heavy.                                                                                          

So He left them, went away again, and prayed the third time saying the same words.                                                      

Then he came to His disciples and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners,                                                                

“Rise, let us be going, See, My betrayer is at hand.”                  

And while He was still speaking, behold, Judas, one of the twelve, with a great multitude with swords and clubs, came from the chief priests and elders of the people.
