Pontius Pilate

For example, the story of the resurrection has some differing details which are independent from all the other historical documents we have. Perhaps most obvious is how the author of Peter puts the blame of Jesus’s death onto Herod as opposed to Pontius Pilate which is more common among the other Synoptic Gospels. This change in details does give us a glimpse at the author of Peter because it shows who his audience was and who he was trying to appeal to at the time. Another interesting thing…

Especially Pontius Pilate, who was the Rome persecutor in Judea. He did not like it when he heard people say that Jesus was the king of Jews or the Messiah. Pontius Pilate had his men to investigate on what was going on with Jesus. Judas went to the chief priest and asked for something in exchange. The priest offered him 30 pieces of silver…

various stories are considered and connections are drawn between passages. This is often the case with New Testament readings in light of Old Testament readings in the Bible. In addition to revealing Jesus in control of his actions, the irony of Pontius Pilate’s words, and the universality of Jesus’ kingship, the description of the inscription on Jesus’ cross in John 19:16b-22 also exposes Jesus’ willingness to do anything for God, which both parallels and deepens Abraham’s near-sacrifice of…

Christ, God’s only son, who was born to our Virgin Mary. He was sent to Earth to try and repair our failing world, through the power of prayer. Even as the Son of God, he was struck with pain and suffering at the hand of non believers, such as Pontius Pilate, who had him crucified and put to death. On the third day, we believe he resurrected from the dead, and met up with his disciples. After forty days of preaching God’s word to everyone, he ascended up to Heaven, and was seated at the right…

also gives the sign of confession through repentance. Hence, the Gospel of Mark 15:1-5 and the Gospel of John 18:33-38 gives an account of the ‘good confession’ by Jesus Christ in front of Pontius Pilate where He acknowledges the truth about Himself. He reaches out to the conversion of the heart of the Pilate instead of defending Himself (John 18:37). Hence, Jesus Christ Himself confessed to the facts of His life publicly and received the grace of God and is seated at the right hand of The…

Jesus pouring into his disciples. Stressing the idea of having a spirit to dwell with once he is gone, known as the Holy Spirt. Proceeding through the story Jesus is arrested and brought before the highest priest, then before Pontius Pilate. Although reluctant to do so Pilate does in end condemn Jesus. He is crucified with very clear instructions to ensure he was deceased. Jesus is buried Friday. On…

part in blasphemy. They felt it was better for one man to suffer than a whole nation to die. The high priest wanted Jesus to be put to death. He was arrested and betrayed with a kiss. Jesus was taken to Pontius Pilate, he was the roman governor of Judea at that time for his fate to be judged. Pilate thought Jesus was innocent, but in the end he let the crowd decide Jesus’ future. The high priests pushed that Jesus be crucified. Crucify him! Jesus was publicly beaten and tormented. Jesus was…

In order to illustrate McMurphy’s tragic, impending downfall from his role as the ward’s flawed yet benevolent savior, Ken Kesey depicts McMurphy’s actions through a multitude of Biblical allusions, specifically, to the life and death of Jesus Christ. By doing so, Kesey further implicates that the mental hospital and other institutions are inherently misguided and at times, villainous. Throughout the novel, McMurphy performs a series of miracles, which involve healing the patients by making them…

of the Sanhedrin accused Jesus of blasphemy, arriving on the decision to put him to demise. But first they needed Rome to approve of their loss of life sentence, so Jesus as according to the history was to be taken to Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor in Judea. Even though Pilate sited him innocent,…

The Events Leading Up to Jesus’ Birth When did man, as we know man, really start? Our faith tells us it started with Adam and Eve. God gave instructions to Adam and then to Eve. However, temptations set upon them and they made a bad choice. The angel Gabriel, said to Zechariah, “Don’t be afraid, Zechariah! God has heard your prayer. Your wife Elizabeth will have a son, and you will name him John” (Luke 1:13, NIV). Zechariah was told that his wife Elizabeth, who was unable to bear children,…
