During my Pilate’s class this semester I felt a positive change in my body. Frist, I lost a lot of weight from exercising in class every week. Also, it helped release any tension in my body because I learn to stretch and move around. The most valuable lessons I learned in class is the 5 dos and don’ts workout.

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.
