Jesus is
taken - bound - before Pontius Pilate the governor. Now
listen to who says what...
The high
priest has ordered: “Tell us whether you are the Christ, the Son of God!”
Jesus
answered: “You said it!”
Now from Pontius
Pilate: “Are you the King of the Jews?”
Jesus: “You said it!” – then nothing more.
...but from Pilate’s
wife: “Have nothing to do with that just man.”
It seems God has graciously warned Pilate thru
his wife’s dream. (Careful there, Pilate – after all, your wife Claudia Procula
is grand-daughter of Caesar Augustus!)
ALL the
people: “Let Him be crucified!...His
blood be on us and on our children” (Matt 27:11-26)
- So ALL the disciples dumped Jesus
- ALL the elders and priests conspired to put Jesus to death
- ALL the people beg for His crucifixion
Now watch
what Pilate does with his hands....
He washes them to pretend he is
‘innocent of the blood of this just person’ then it seems this Roman governor
of Judaea personally flogs an innocent man before his soldiers crucify Him.
Isaiah 53:7

ReplyDeleteThanks for that, 'minorwork'. Personally I don't rely on translations that constantly change wording just for the sake of copyright to make more money. If in doubt I check Heb/Gk. The Textus Receptus and other translations agree with the KJV, incl NASB & ESV.
