Latin Igne Natura Renovatur Integra ("by fire, nature renews itself"); other sources have Igne Natura Renovando Integrat In the Transfiguration, [217] [142] [143] [162] Jesus takes Peter and two other apostles up an unnamed mountain, where "he was transfigured before them, and his face shone like the sun, and his clothes became dazzling white". [218] A bright cloud appears around them, and a voice from the cloud says, "This is my Son, the Beloved; with him I am well pleased; listen to him." [219] [142] Passion Week The Gospels comprise brief self-contained passages, or pericopēs (from the Greek word meaning “cut around”), relating to Jesus. Further study reveals that the authors of the Synoptic Gospels moved the pericopes around, altering the contexts to suit their own editorial policies—for example, by arranging the pericopes according to subject matter. In chapters 8 and 9, Matthew collects 10 healing pericopes, with a few other passages interspersed. Mark and Luke contain most of those passages, but their arrangements are different. Matthew put all those healings in one place, whereas Mark and Luke scattered them but in different ways. Since the authors of the Gospels rearranged the material to suit their own needs, it must be assumed that earlier Christian teachers had also organized stories about Jesus didactically. That means that the sequence of events in Jesus’ ministry is unknown. Cresswell 2013, chpt. 5: "The same goes for the note in Luke 23, 38 that the inscription on the cross was given in three languages: included by scribe A, deleted by Ca [from the Codex Sinaiticus] and absent in Codex Vaticanus and P75". Historically, Christian anti-Jewish sentiment often became especially pronounced when Christians observed Holy Week, the week commemorating the time leading up to Jesus’s crucifixion and resurrection.

Many Christians of varying denominations regard their faith as having developed from Jesus’s rejection of Judaism. But Jesus was a faithful Jew who respected and protected Jewish traditions, practices and laws.Since many modern Christian readers are unfamiliar with ancient Judaism’s ritual impurity system, they often fail to recognize that Jesus repeatedly removes the sources of ritual impurity from people he encounters. These sources of impurity seem to be connected with death or the loss of life. Brushes with death

John's Gospel presents the teachings of Jesus not merely as his own preaching, but as divine revelation. John the Baptist, for example, states in John 3:34: "He whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for he gives the Spirit without measure." In John 7:16 Jesus says, "My teaching is not mine but his who sent me." He asserts the same thing in John 14:10: "Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on my own; but the Father who dwells in me does his works." [183] [184] The Return of the Prodigal Son by Pompeo Batoni, 1773 Anyone in a state of impurity was not permitted to visit the temple until a certain period of time had passed and they had washed in a ritual bath. The Romanian Orthodox Church uses INRI, since abbreviation in Romanian is exactly the same as in Latin ( Iisus Nazarineanul Regele Iudeilor)

Only some of the extant early Greek manuscripts of Luke’s Gospel include the reference to the languages in verse 23:38. [21] [22] This variance may be a result of later copyists adding to Luke to harmonize that Gospel with the text of John 19:20. [23] The New International Version (NIV) translation and 43 of the 63 translations of Luke 23:38 assembled by BibleGateway.com omit any reference to the languages. [24]
