Keeping in mind the importance of honour being of the highest “core value of the ancient Mediterranean world” (Rohrbaugh, 2010, p. 109), some moments in the film loosely reflect the hierarchal context attached to honour. Indeed, ones position in society was determined by ones honour ranking. Displayed in film, when people were entering this secret meeting of Jesus before Caiaphas, a temple guard throws an observer out saying “This is not your party, you toothless vermin.” (Gibson, 2004, scene…

praised Dante Alegheri and agreed with his opinions and examination of the government. Throughout the Inferno, Dante Alegheri uses his relationship with Virgil, his sympathy towards the lustful, and his punishments of Caiaphas and the clergymen to reflect on his personal criticisms of human reason, his definition of good and evil, and man's responsibility.…

Satan is shown in the Garden of Gethsemane. According to many who have seen the movie, Pilate, the Roman governor in charge of the that the story is situated in, is portrayed as having no other choose then to do as the Jews is wanting him to do, and kill Jesus. Pilate is even told by his wife that he should not kill Jesus. He is shown to have sympathy towards Jesus, and only does what he has to do to prevent a rebellion against the Roman Empire. The same viewers would also see Gibson’ portrayal…

of God in their lives, doing what is right. "I saw a banner there upon the mist./ Circling and circling, it seemed to scorn all pause./ So it ran on, and still behind it pressed/ a never-ending rout of souls in pain," (III 49-52). Because man has a responsibility in life to choose to live either a noble life or a sinful life, those who fail to live their lives the way God intended are severely punished. The punishment unique to their crime is severe to display the significance Alighieri sees in…

China is a communist based country and a majority of citizens in China have been brainwashed to believe in Mogui.

contrary, Jesus engages in a close relationship with prostitutes and tax collectors, the behavior raised fears among the people, a reason for the people to oppose more and force for his arrest.

Luke refers to city judges of Thessalonica as “politarchs”. Critics of the Bible said Luke made up the term or was mistaken. Late 19th century William Ramsey dug up the Stone archway of the gate into the city and above the Greek names was “politarchs” 2. Luke mentions Caiaphas as the high priest. Historians claimed no such person is ever mentioned outside of Luke. During road construction in Jerusalem, heavy equipment broke through the roof of a limestone cave used for burial in 1st…

While giving the account of Jesus before Annas (18:12-24), and then the account before Pilate (18:28-40), the text omits what occurs while Jesus is in Caiaphas’ own home (18:24, 28). As if Annas’ house was a common place for people to hang out in the dead of night, Peter and the beloved disciple are confronted with quite a crowd just waiting around…in the dead of night. If this is not shady enough for you, then consider the role of Malchus’ relative (18:26). For such a person to be present…

Jesus was an epiphany. As He performed many miracles, He Amazed both His followers and His adversaries. He had no respect for persons while reaching for the poor, weak, and disabled. Forgiving sins, calming storms, and healing diseases; Jesus performed as only God could. Ultimately, Jesus was God, with us and, eventually, in us. He was the fulfillment of the law as the law pointed to a better way. The law could not redeem but Jesus did (Module #3 Lecture Video). The accelerating revelation…
