The Lord Jesus, our King, once forsaken by not only God the Father in our atonement but by His apostles beforehand. First Judas, when Satan entered into him to betray the Lord. Then Peter, with his denial of Jesus three times. Upon finishing the Passover supper, the Lord’s suffering began not at the point of His entrapment. His trials began well before that and became pronounced mainly from the time of the Last Supper onward.
(a.) Forsaken – Satan demanded to sift Peter to ruin Jesus’ work and His followers
(b.) Forsaken – Satan entered into Judas where he would afterward betray Jesus to religious leaders
(c.) Forsaken – While Jesus prayed at the Mount of Olives in severe agony from his sorrow, His apostles were asleep nearby
(d.) Forsaken – Peter denied Jesus three times while with others in the Lord’s presence
(e.) Forsaken – By God the Father upon the Lord’s crucifixion
