Pilate finds no fault in Jesus. The Jews demand his crucifixion.

THEN Pilate left Jesus in the hall, and went out to the Jews, and said, I find not any one fault in Jesus.

The Jews say unto him, But he said, I can destroy the temple of God, and in three days build it up again.

Pilate saith unto them, What sort of temple is that of which he speaketh?

The Jews say unto him, That which Solomon was forty-six years in building, he said he would destroy, and in three days build up.

Pilate said to them again, I am innocent from the blood of that man; do ye look to it.

The Jews say to him, His blood be upon us and our children. Then Pilate calling together the elders and scribes, priests and Levites, saith to them privately, Do not act thus; I have found nothing in your charge (against him) concerning his curing sick persons, and breaking the sabbath, worthy of death.

The Priests and Levites replied to Pilate, By the life of Cæsar, if any one be a blasphemer, he is worthy of death; but this man hath blasphemed against the Lord.

Then the governor again commanded the Jews to depart out of the hall; and calling Jesus, said to him, What shall I do with thee?

Jesus answered him, Do according as it is written.

Pilate said to him, How is it written?

Jesus saith to him, Moses and the prophets have prophesied concerning my suffering and resurrection.

The Jews hearing this, were provoked, and said to Pilate, Why wilt thou any longer hear the blasphemy of that man?

Pilate saith to them, If these words seem to you blasphemy, do ye take him, bring him to your court, and try him according to your law.

The Jews reply to Pilate, Our law saith, he shall be obliged to receive nine and thirty stripes, but if after this manner he shall blaspheme against the Lord, he shall be stoned.

Pilate saith unto them, If that speech of his was blasphemy, do ye try him according to your law.

The Jews say to Pilate, Our law commands us not to put any one to death: we desire that he may be crucified, because he deserves the death of the cross.

Pilate saith to them, It is not fit he should be crucified: let him be only whipped and sent away.

But when the governor looked upon the people that were present and the Jews, he saw many of the Jews in tears, and said to the chief priests of the Jews, All the people do not desire his death.

The elders of the Jews answered to Pilate, We and all the people came hither for this very purpose, that he should die.

Pilate saith to them, Why should he die?

They said to him, Because he declares himself to be the Son of God, and a King.

><>

Thy own nation hath charged thee as making thyself a king; wherefore I, Pilate, sentence thee to be whipped according to the laws of former governors; and that thou be first bound, then hanged upon a cross in that place where thou art now a prisoner; and also two criminals with thee, whose names are Dimas and Gestas.

Are there any tears left in the world?

I would reply with just a simple "??", but the forum demands I have at least 10 characters in every post. So now that I have those 10 characters....

I respectfully submit...

But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother shall be guilty before the court; and whoever says to his brother, 'You good-for-nothing,' shall be guilty before the supreme court; and whoever says, 'You fool,' shall be guilty enough to go into the fiery hell.

Now the chief priests and the whole Council kept trying to obtain false testimony against Jesus, so that they might put Him to death.

For I say to you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven.

For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? If you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? Therefore you are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

Therefore I, the prisoner of the Lord, implore you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling with which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, showing tolerance for one another in love, being diligent to preserve the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit, just as also you were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all who is over all and through all and in all.

And Stephen, full of grace and power, was performing great wonders and signs among the people. But some men from what was called the Synagogue of the Freedmen, including both Cyrenians and Alexandrians, and some from Cilicia and Asia, rose up and argued with Stephen. But they were unable to cope with the wisdom and the Spirit with which he was speaking. Then they secretly induced men to say, “We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses and against God.” And they stirred up the people, the elders and the scribes, and they came up to him and dragged him away and brought him before the Council. They put forward false witnesses who said, “This man incessantly speaks against this holy place and the Law; for we have heard him say that this Nazarene, Jesus, will destroy this place and alter the customs which Moses handed down to us.” And fixing their gaze on him, all who were sitting in the Council saw his face like the face of an angel.

Then I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, “Now the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our God and the authority of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren has been thrown down, he who accuses them before our God day and night.

The heart of the righteous ponders how to answer, But the mouth of the wicked pours out evil things.

The good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth what is good; and the evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth what is evil; for his mouth speaks from that which fills his heart.


...who have we really been serving and glorifying?


May the Lord bless and keep you,

I think I'm grasping some of what you are trying to convey. See if this correlates with your thoughts.

For we are NOT like many...

2 Corinthians 2

Reaffirm Your Love

2 But I determined this [SUP][a][/SUP]for my own sake, that I would not come to you in sorrow again. [SUP]2 [/SUP]For if I cause you sorrow, who then makes me glad but the one whom I made sorrowful? [SUP]3 [/SUP]This is the very thing I wrote you, so that when I came, I would not have sorrow from those who ought to make me rejoice; having confidence in you all that my joy would be the joy of you all. [SUP]4 [/SUP]For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote to you with many tears; not so that you would be made sorrowful, but that you might know the love which I have especially for you.
[SUP]
5 [/SUP]But if any has caused sorrow, he has caused sorrow not to me, but in some degree—[SUP][b][/SUP]in order not to say too much—to all of you. [SUP]6 [/SUP]Sufficient for such a one is this punishment which was inflicted by the majority, [SUP]7 [/SUP]so that on the contrary you should rather forgive and comfort him, otherwise such a one might be overwhelmed by excessive sorrow. [SUP]8 [/SUP]Wherefore I urge you to reaffirm your love for him. [SUP]9 [/SUP]For to this end also I wrote, so that I might [SUP][c][/SUP]put you to the test, whether you are obedient in all things. [SUP]10 [/SUP]But one whom you forgive anything, I forgive also; for indeed what I have forgiven, if I have forgiven anything, I did it for your sakes in the presence of Christ, [SUP]11 [/SUP]so that no advantage would be taken of us by Satan, for we are not ignorant of his schemes.
[SUP]
12 [/SUP]Now when I came to Troas for the gospel of Christ and when a door was opened for me in the Lord, [SUP]13 [/SUP]I had no rest for my spirit, not finding Titus my brother; but taking my leave of them, I went on to Macedonia.
[SUP]
14 [/SUP]But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and manifests through us the sweet aroma of the knowledge of Him in every place. [SUP]15 [/SUP]For we are a fragrance of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing; [SUP]16 [/SUP]to the one an aroma from death to death, to the other an aroma from life to life. And who is adequate for these things? [SUP]17 [/SUP]For we are not like many, [SUP][d][/SUP]peddling the word of God, but as from sincerity, but as from God, we speak in Christ in the sight of God.


...or are we?


Love and peace to you all,

P.

1st Corinthians 14:33) For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.

Jeremiah 24:7) And I will give them an heart to know me, that I am the LORD: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God: for they shall return unto me with their whole heart.

2nd Timothy 2:15) Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
16 .) But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.

Mark 9:43) And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:
44 .) Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
45 .) And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:
46 .) Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
47 .) And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire:
48 .) Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.

Job 28:28) And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the LORD, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.
