JESUS TRIAL WHAT HAPPENED

We that when Jesus is taken to the council we

see that the whole council are against him as

Mark writes the whole council were looking for

testimony against Jesus to put him to death; but

they found none (14:55).

We also see that there are false testimonies put

against him by the crowd such as I will destroythe temple that is made with hands and in three

days I will build another, not made with hands

(14:58).

The false testimonies go on and then Jesus

replies saying that the Son of Man seated at

the right hand of the Power and coming with theclouds of heaven (14:62).

A significant action is made by the high priest as

he tore at Jesus clothes in anger at his remark.

Next is Jesus before Pilate, and when Pilate

asks Are you the King of the Jews? (15:2)

Jesus answers the question but difficultly as he

says you say so. We later see in this passage

that Jesus answers no further questions.

Part of Jesus trial is for him to be handed over.

At this Pilate knows that Jesus is innocent andat the pass over rule of handing over a prisoner

tries to set him free but the chief priests out of

jealousy again (they handed him over because

of it) stir up the crowd to have Barabbas

released instead.

Finally there is a more crucial part to this is thatthe crowd (the Jews) are the one that shout

Crucify him!

JESUS TRIAL - EVALUATION

Firstly in my opinion I think that the main reason

behind the way the council is against him is

because all through Jesus mission he made the

chief priests jealous by taking all the popularity

by preaching and making them look foolish And

the large crowd was listening to him with

delight (12:37). Again through jealously I found that the chief

priests were more than determined to put Jesus

away as he was such an abnormality.

Now when the high priest rips at Jesus clothes I

think it is that Jesus has said the unspeakable

and the disgust and rage the high priest gets atthis makes him rip at the clothing of Jesus

We see that Jesus talks to the Council but not to

Pilate. In my opinion I feel he does this as it is a

religious matter and passion and not a political

crime.

Even though Jesus has not committed a political

crime the council need to make one as Pilate (a

gentile) did not care about the religious laws but

treason was a very large crime. This is why they

call Jesus The King of the Jews.

I did also find that all of this was prophesised by

Isaiah 53:* were he says He was arrested,

sentenced, and led off to die

Finally I also feel that is was important that the

Jews shouted Crucify him! as to me i t showed

that Jesus was not a political leader but theMessiah.

JESUS SUFFERING WHAT HAPPENED

We first see Jesus suffer when he is

flogged in front of the crowd to please

them after they shouted Crucify him!

(15:13).

This suffering is continued when Jesus is

mocked by the soldiers. They wrapped apurple cloak around him and twist some

thorns into a crown (15:17). Next they

beat Jesus with a reed, spat upon him

(15:19).

During the crucifixion he has to carry his

cross and a man called Simon of Cyrene(15:21) it pulled into help Jesus carry it.

They bring him up to Golgotha (which

means the place of the skull (15:22) and

offer him wine mixed with myrrh but he

refuses it.

They then crucified him dividing up his

clothes among them casting lots.

When they crucified him it was 9 Oclock.

He then takes on some mockery from the

crowd such as He saved others; he

cannot save himself (15:31)

Finally at the end of his suffering the two

bandits that are crucified with him tauntedhim.


5/9

JESUS SUFFERING - EVALUATION I think that the reason Jesus was flogged in front of the

crowd was because of Pilate trying to gain popularityfrom the Jewish people.

When we see Jesus mocked by the soldiers it is bothan emotional suffering and a physical one. For theemotional is when they pretend he is king by putting apurple cloak around in and then when they knelt downin homage to him (15:19). Then the physical sufferingis the beating him with a read and put a crown of

thorns on his head. I feel they did this just to show toJesus that nobody cared in his mission hence thecrown of thorns to prove he is a fake king.

We do also see an fantastic example of Markan ironyas the soldiers say Hail, King of the Jews. Yet theybeat him and spit on him. In my view I think thatMarkan irony is when someone is very sincere aboutan opinion then goes in the completely oppositedirection. Another example of this would be saying thatJesus saved many (one opinion) but cannot even save

himself. (another opinion).

To me I think that Simon of Cyrene was a randomperson brought in by the roman soldiers but is includedas part of Marks detail.

Wine with myrrh is offered to Jesus because crucifixionwas so painful that the wine and myrrh worked as apain killer so to help the bandit through it. The reasonthat Jesus refuses it is because at the last supperJesus says I will never drink of the fruit of the vineuntil that day when I drink it new in the kingdom ofGod (14:25). This means that Jesus will never drinkwine again on earth which implied that when he neededa pain killer he refused it to suffer fully

When they bet on Jesus clothes it supports again theprophecy made in psalms 22:18 which says Theydivide my clothes among them and cast lots for mygarment.

When I read that the two other bandits crucify him Iwas confused as the story is different in other Gospels.However I think the reason the taunt him is becausethey had a valid reason to be crucified so essentiallythey had it coming but Jesus was foolish to say was hesaid hence the mockery.


6/9

JESUS IS DEAD WHAT HAPPENED

When it was noon darkness occur

until three in the afternoon. At three

Jesus cries Eloi, Eloi, lema

sabachthani which means My God,

My God, why have you forsaken

me? (15:34)

They bystanders heard this and

thought he was calling for Elijah.

Then someone ran to Jesus with a

sponge filled with sour wine put on astick.

After Jesus gives a loud cry and

dies the curtain of the temple was

torn in two.

A centurion comments to him saying

Truly this man was Gods Son! There were three women still at the

cross named Mary Magdalene and

Mary mothe of James the younger

and of Joses and Salome.

JESUS IS DEAD - EVALUATION

Light normally came at 6 Oclock, Jesus

died at 9 Oclock and darkness came at

noon. This shows to us that when Jesus

died presumably God made darkness

come over the land to show that awful

death.

Jesus is not asking a question when he

says My God, My God, why have you

forsaken me he is saying a prayer but

dies before he gets the chance to finish it.

An example put to me about this is if a

religious Christian person was put at gunpoint they would start to say the Our

Father but half way through it they may be

shot. This is a modern example of what

happened to Jesus.

Now to some when the curtain is torn in

two they do not understand. However the

reason this happens is because only the

high priest could go into the holy of holies

behind the curtain but Jesus has releasedit to everybody.

When the centurion say that Jesus was

Gods son it shows to us that Jesus did not

just come for Jews but for Gentiles as well.

There are only women there at the end ofJesus life. This can either show that the

disciple fled like Jesus prophesied or that

they women were just very loyal followers.
