☀️ A.M. 2 Timothy 1:10-18
(Paul writing a second letter to Timothy, Verse 9 “..who saved us and called us to a holy calling, not because of who we are or what we do, but because of hiS own purpose, and grace, which he gave us, in Christ Jesus, before the ages even began” 1O - and which now has been seen {and witnessed) through the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus, who abolished death, and brought life and immortality to light, through the good news that is proclaimed, 11 and for which I was appointed a preacher, apostle and teacher, 12 which is why I suffer as I do. But I’m not ashamed, for I know who it is I’ve believed, and I’m convinced he’s able to guard until that day, what has been entrusted to me. {When Jesus “returns” and begins his long second advent? Called gathering the wheat into the barn, at the culmination of the nations (still tares) having gathered to Armageddon battle.}
13 Follow the pattern and sound teaching you have heard from me. Continue in the faith and the love that are in Christ Jesus. 14 And by the Holy Spirit who dwells in us, guard the good deposit [parathรฉkรฉ - deposit, trust, commitment].
15 You’re aware all who are in Asia went away and left me on my own, among whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes. {..It’s interesting that Jesus dictated (to John) seven letters to seven churches of Asia, which begin the Book of Revelation.}
16 But may the Lord grant special mercy to the household of Onesiphorus, for he often refreshed me and was not ashamed of my chains (house arrest in Rome). 17 Instead when he arrived in Rome he searched earnestly for me, and found me. 18 May the Lord grant him to find special kindness from the Lord on that day! And you well know all the service he rendered at Ephesus.
๐ P.M. Mt.27:11-26; Jn.19:1-13
11 - Jesus stood before the Roman governor, Pilate. And Pilate asked him, “Are you the King of the Jews?” Jesus said, “You have said so.” {Not me.} 12 But as he was being accused by the chief priests and elders, Jesus gave no answer. 13 Then Pilate said to him, “Do you hear how many things they accuse you of?” 14 But he gave no answer to any charge, and the governor was greatly amazed.
15 Now at the Passover feast he was accustomed to release to the people one prisoner whomever they might want. 16 And they had then a notorious prisoner called Barabbas. 17 So when they had gathered, Pilate said to them, “Who do you want me to release for you? Barabbas? Or this Jesus who is called Christ?” 18 For he knew it was out of envy the leaders had brought him to him.
While he was sitting at the judgment seat, his wife sent word to him, “Have nothing to do with that righteous man, because I have suffered much over him today in a dream.” 20 Meanwhile the leaders, the chief priests and elders, had persuaded the crowd to ask for Barabbas, and have Jesus executed.
21 The governor again said to them, “Which of the two do you want me to release to you?” And they said, “Barabbas!” 22 Pilate said, “Then what shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?” They called out, “Let him be crucified!” 23 And he said, “Why? What evil has he done?” But they shouted all the more, “Crucify him!”
24 When Pilate saw his words were going nowhere, and that a mob was forming {mob mentality, instigated and maneuvered} and a riot was beginning, he took water and washed his hands before the crowd, and said, “I’m innocent of this man's blood! See to it yourselves.” 25 And all the people answered, “His blood be on us and on our children!” {Elsewhere it says judgment comes (mostly cause and effect) but no one is to try to aid it! But it’s a positive bet the spiritual adversary - seditious “angelos” will. And we see it on the rise in today’s world.}
And from John’s account, JOHN 19:1 - Then Pilate took Jesus and had him scourged. 2 And the soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on his head. And they put a purple robe on him, 3 and were saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” and slapped and struck him.
4 Pilate went out again and said to the crowd, “See, I am bringing him out to you that you may know that I find no guilt in him.” 5 So Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe, having been flogged and beaten. And Pilate said to them, “Behold the man!” 6 When the leaders, the chief priests and the officers saw him, they cried out, “Crucify him! Crucify him!” Pilate said, “Take him yourselves! And crucify him! For I find no guilt in him.”
7 They answered him, “We have a law, and according to it he ought to die because he has made himself the Son of God.” 8 Now when Pilate heard this, he was even more afraid. {For the Roman emperor was to be thought of as ‘god’ and no others. {All nations had a faint ancient memory of a promise of “a Son” (so part divine, and part human) as deliverer and savior - the promise given in Eden. Also memories of Eve “mother of all” and of the flood. Pre-flood having been a time of hands off.. To claim godhood in the Roman empire was punishable by death and execution.}
9 Pilate entered his headquarters again and said to Jesus, “Where are you from?” But Jesus gave him no answer. 10 So Pilate said to him, “Will you not speak? Do you not know that I have authority to release you, and authority to crucify you?”
11 Jesus said, “You would have no authority over me at all unless it had been given to you from above. Therefore he who delivered me over to you has the greater sin.”
12 From then on Pilate sought to release him, but they cried out all the more, “If you release this man, you are not Caesar's friend! Everyone who makes himself a king opposes Caesar!” 13 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 called Gabbatha..
