LUKE 23:1-10

    πŸƒπŸ•Š️11/27 - GospeL Verses πŸƒπŸ•Š️

(The gospels as two six month readings means there is some repetitiveness.)

1 - Then the council rose and brought Jesus before Pilate. 2 And accused him, saying, “We found this man misleading our nation and forbidding us to give tribute to Caesar! Saying he himself is Christ, a king!” 3 And Pilate asked him, “Are you the King of the Jews?” And he answered, “You have said it, not I.” [Such was punishable by death.] 4 Then Pilate said to the chief leaders and the crowd, “I find no guilt in this man.” 5 But they insisted, saying, “He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, from Galilee even to this place.”

     6 When Pilate heard this, he asked whether the man was a Galilean. 7 And when he learned that he belonged to Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him over to Herod, who was in Jerusalem at the time. 8 And when Herod saw Jesus, he was happy, for he  had wanted to see him for some time, having heard a lot about him. And he was hoping to see him work a miracle. 9 So he questioned him at some length, but Jesus stayed silent. 10 But the leaders, chief priests and scribes, stood by, angrily accusing him.

     [ This Herod, called Herod Antipas was a son of Herod the Great. Herod Antipas is the one who unwillingly put John the Baptist to death. Herod the Great is the one who killed all the very young boys and babies of Bethlehem, trying to kill Jesus after his birth, as the birth had made quite a stir. Rev.12:4, bible prophecy often takes no account of time - like in this verse, Rev.12:14 - “the dragon” - original gone rogue one - “drags with his tail one third of the stars..” - I.e. one third of the angels joined the “covering angel over Eden” in his revolt. Then as in the next breath it seems, he then turned to devour the “manchild”/Son of man who had been born from the woman.. “a great sign..”

     But we know there’s a great gap of time between Eden and the birth of Christ.

     Herod the Great, the father, is the one of Rev.12:14 and Matthew 2, who tried to kill Jesus when born. And his son, Herod Antipas is the one who had executed John the Baptist. Jesus and this John, were cousins.
