Zechariah 12:10 And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and pleas for mercy, so that, when they look on me, on him whom they have pierced, they shall mourn for him, as one mourns for an only child, and weep bitterly over him,…
I was reading John 19 about Jesus and Pilate and followed a reference from a friend to Deut 25. Deut. 25:3 but he must not give him more than forty lashes. If he is flogged more than that, your brother will be degraded in your eyes. Punishment under Levitical law was not intended to degrade…
There are so many things that Jesus hears through this that were SO WRONG but He didn’t protest. One way of protest would have been to stick up for Himself, to get Himself freed. What questions He DOES ask are more toward walking the fools around Him toward the truth. He is not concerned with…
Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would have been fighting, that I might not be delivered over to the Jews. But my kingdom is not from the world.â€Â (John 18:36 ESV) Jesus refers to His servants here (strong’s) 5257.  huperetes, hoop-ay-RET-ace; from 5259 and…
Why do you ask me? Ask those who have heard me what I said to them; they know what I said.†(John 18:21 ESV) Jesus is saying this at almost the exact same moment that someone is actually asking those who heard Him out in the courtyard. Peter is saying “I don’t know the man.

All of the disciples are sitting around arguing about who is the best and who Jesus loves the most, all the time getting ready to eat the passover with dirty feet. Jesus alone gets up to wash the feet, and surely nobody noticed what he was doing until He started, because no one questioned or…
John 11.3 So the sisters sent to him, saying, ‚ÄúLord, he whom you love is ill.‚Äù Something has to be said about Lazarus being loved by Jesus, a friend of Jesus, and NOT one of the disciples. Considering that the 12 are mentioned in several places and arguing about who would be the greatest and…
John 11.4 ‚ÄúThis illness does not lead to death. It is for the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified through it.‚Äù As always, Jesus sees more to the situation than anyone else. He sees that Lazarus died for the glory of God, just like the storm came up in…
John 10.37-38 ESV “If I am not doing the works of my Father, then do not believe me; but if I do them, even though you do not believe me, believe the works, that you may know and understand that the Father is in me and I am in the Father.‚Äù Jesus can see that…
