Proctor knew which morally correct action to take, even though he encountered Danforth, a blind mob of persecuting liars, and even death, just as Jesus faced Pontius Pilate, condemning Romans, and the crux. Once again, Danforth and Pilate melted their knowledge about the innocent victims in order to keep the peace in the crucible of their towns. “Danforth quite directly warns Proctor, ‘it…

Pilate commands the religious rulers to judge Jesus by their own laws, but since thy lack the authority to commission a sentence of death on someone, Pilate decrees for them to take Jesus before Herod, from his own jurisdiction, to be judged (John 18:29-37).

After questioning Jesus with no response in return, he sends Him back to Pilate, refusing to place judgment…

We knew so little about him because the sources does not come from the actually times of Jesus. He was an average like peasant during the Roman Empire era. He was poor, had no distinction of royalty and lived in less desirable conditions. For historians there was nothing historically remarkable about his status. Therefore, his daily life was not…

It is said that “Joseph of Arimathea, who was the disciple of Jesus, though a secret one because of his fear of the Jews, asked Pilate to let him take away the body of Jesus. Pilate gave him permission; so he came and removed the body” (John 19:40). This helps the color red have more significance for all of the people surrounding Jesus during his crucifixion.

scenes Mark did previously mention. It is a more “fleshed out” version. In Mark’s version of Peter’s denial, he briefly examines the scene before moving onto Jesus’s main trial: Peter’s denial was the final chord for Christ before his meeting with Pontius Pilate, and an extremely important turning point before Christ’s inevitable betrayal by his people. ““Truly…

The homily written by Rev. William J. Reese was preached in Minnesota in April of 2012. It is based off of the passage John 3:16. “God so loved the world that he gave his only son begotten son that whosoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life.” This homily focuses on many aspects, however, the most important messages being God’s never ending love and the importance of continuous faith/belief.

He was arrested by the Jewish authorities due to his behavior and given over to the roman government where he was subsequently crucified on the order of Pontius Pilate, the Roman prefect.

Pompey forcibly entered the Holy of Holies…

In both Chaucer’s Wife of Bath’s prologue and tale and Lanyer’s Eve’s Apology, there is an importance placed upon religion and the need to refute those religious-based claims that seek and have harnessed the biblical text to harm the image of women. Although Lanyer’s entire poem is hinging on this and Chaucer uses it more sparingly in just one specific section, the importance is not so far between them.
