I will repeat verses 8 and 9 with this posting because of what Paul stated in one of his epistles, where he stated that Jesus came as our second Adam, for this He indeed did. That is why and how GOD pulled off the greatest switch game ever on the old blind fox and ruler of the worlds systems and orders. He neither saw or heard the language of heaven in the scriptures as so many of his followers do not still to this very day and time (1Corinthians 15:22, 45). This was revealed to me in the wee hours of this morning while I lay on my bed as so many of GOD's revelations do. You see those who administered their hatred of Jesus, as the second Adam, were indeed acting out satan's hate of Him. They inflicted punishment and their judgment on Him who was without sin. (Psalm 119:161) For everyone who violates another does so as they are of the stock of Adam and without the the knowledge of what transpired at the cross, the descending into humanity's hell, resurrection and ascension of Christ in the person of Jesus, the second Adam.
John 19:8-16 "When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he was the more afraid; And went again into the judgment hall, and saith unto Jesus, "Whence art thou?" But Jesus gave him no answer. Then saith Pilate unto him, "Speakest thou not unto me? knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and have power to release thee?" Jesus answered, 'Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin.' And from thenceforth Pilate sought to release him: but the Jews cried out, saying, "If thou let this man go, thou art not Caesar's friend: whosoever maketh himself a king speaketh against Caesar." When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he brought Jesus forth, and sat down in the judgment seat in a place that is called the Pavement, but in the Hebrew, Gabbatha. And it was the preparation of the Passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, "Behold your King!" But they cried out, "Away with him, away with him, crucify him." Pilate saith unto them, "Shall I crucify your King?" The chief priests answered, "We have no king but Caesar." Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him away." (KJV)
John 19:8-16 "When Pilate heard this statement, he was even more afraid. He entered his headquarters again and said to Jesus, "Where are you from?" But Jesus gave him no answer. So Pilate said to him, "You will not speak to me? Do you not know that I have authority to release you and authority to crucify you?" Jesus answered him, "You would have no authority over me at all unless it had been given you from above. Therefore he who delivered me over to you has the greater sin." From then on Pilate sought to release him, but the Jews cried out, "If you release this man, you are not Caesar's friend. Everyone who makes himself a king opposes Caesar." So when Pilate heard these words, he brought Jesus out and sat down on the judgment seat at a place called The Stone Pavement, and in Aramaic Gabbatha. Now it was the day of Preparation of the Passover. It was about the sixth hour. He said to the Jews, "Behold your King!" They cried out, "Away with him, away with him, crucify him!" Pilate said to them, "Shall I crucify your King?" The chief priests answered, "We have no king but Caesar." So he delivered him over to them to be crucified. So they took Jesus." (ESV)
John 19:8-16 "The claim of Jesus' deity only served to accelerate Pilate's superstitious fears. He went again into the judgment hall and asked Jesus, "Tell me, who are you really?" Jesus did not answer him. Pilate said, "Why do you not answer me, do you not realize my position? I have the power to crucify or free you!" Jesus said, 'You have no authority over me, except what was given you from above. Therefore he [Caiaphas, the High Priest] who handed me over to you has the greater sin. (exousia, out of I am) This motivated Pilate even more to make every effort to release him; but the Jews would not buy into it at all; they cried out, "If you even consider to release this man you prove that you are not loyal to Ceasar - this man's claim to royalty makes him Ceasar's enemy!" These words persuaded Pilate to go through with the procedures. He led Jesus outside and sat down in judgment in a place called the Stone Pavement, a decorated mosaic area in the court which was called Gabbatha in Hebrew which means an elevated platform. This was still during the preparation for the Passover, about the 6th hour. He announced to the Jews, "Behold! Your king!" (About the sixth hour, hos hekte. Roman time, about 6 a.m. when Pilate rendered his final decision. Mark in 15:25 notes that it was the third hour (Jewish time), which is 9 a.m. Roman time, when the crucifixion began. Why should John give Jewish time writing at the close of the first century when Jerusalem and the Jewish state passed away in A.D. 70? He is writing for Greek and Roman readers. Look also at John 20:19) But they cried out, "Lift him up! Lift him up! Crucify him!" Pilate said, "Shall I crucify your king?" The Chief Priests answered with, "We have no other king but Ceasar!" (The word, airo means to lift up, to elevate. Look at John 12:32-33.) He then handed Jesus over to them to be crucified and they led him away." (The Mirror)
The LORD willing we shall continue from here in our next post.
