Bible Study The Hymn

[agua.]

I was thinking today about the hymn Jesus sang with the disciples at the Last Supper. Does anyone have an idea what it might have been ?

 

[Kathi]

Mark 14:26 And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
I don't think it says.Does anyone else know if the Bible tells us what hymn that was?

 

[Obadiah]

Not that I've ever read or heard.

Yeshua Sang Hymns

by Paul Sumner



(1) Matthew 26:30

After singing a hymn,
they [Yeshua and his disciples] went out to the Mount of Olives.

This event followed the Last Passover at which Yeshua told his disciples to remember him and his sacrifice with bread and wine.

In ancient Passover services, as recorded in the Mishnah, the meal ended with singing the so-called "Second Hallel" (Psalms 115–118). Then came the Fourth Cup, following by the "Blessing of the Song" (a kind of reprise of previous hymns sung during the Seder) (Mishnah, Pesachim).

The phrase translated "singing a hymn" in Matthew 26:30 is one word in Greek: humneo. It means to hymn, sing praise, celebrate or worship with hymns. Thus, v. 30 says, "after they hymned" or "after hymning" (Grk, humnesantes) they left the upper room where the meal was enjoyed.

In Modern Hebrew NTs, the phrase in v. 30 is rendered two ways: "after concluding the Hallel" (gamar haHallel; Delitzsch, Salkinson) or "after singing the Hallel" (shar haHallel; Israel Bible Society, 1991).

Yeshua not only participated in the Passover—as its presiding host—he joined all Israel that night in singing hymns of praise to God. He and they thanked and worshiped the One who rescued his people from Egyptian bondage some fourteen centuries before.

A Messianic Hymn
Yeshua's last hymn was the Second Hallel. Its concluding psalm, 118, reverberates with messianic meanings.

Part of Psalm 118 tells how a decision by Jerusalem's builders to reject a certain "stone" was overruled by God. What they rejected, God laid down as the Rosh Pinnah, chief cornerstone, of his Temple. His sovereign action was "marvelous" in the eyes of the faithful; it was a "day which the LORD [had] made" — and thus a day to be rejoiced in (vv. 22-24).

I understand that the hymn was the "Hallel" used at Passover.

Interesting. Since Jesus was a Jew religiously (since the Christian church could not exist before his death and resurrection) He therefore would have been celebrating the passover, then the song would have been the Hallel? And the Hallel is Psalm 118?

Am I understanding you correctly? Psalm 118 was always used for this? (I'm admittedly more ignorant of the ancient Jewish religious services than I should be.)

Thanks His_nee, this is very informative.

Ta yes this makes sense. We have a group here called Sons of Korah I might check if they do a version of 115-118.
