John 19:1-7 KJV
“[1]Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged him.
[2] And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and they put on him a purple robe,
[3] And said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they smote him with their hands.
[4] Pilate therefore went forth again, and saith unto them, Behold, I bring him forth to you, that ye may know that I find no fault in him.
[5] Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And Pilate saith unto them, Behold the man!
[6] When the chief priests therefore and officers saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Take ye him, and crucify him: for I find no fault in him.
[7] The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.”
Lesson: Hail JESUS: King of the Jews!
Poem that I have compose from this chapter:
He found No Fault
Pilate said He find no fault in JESUS,
But He scourge Him, and the soldiers plated a crown of thorns, and put on Him purple robe.
Smote Him with their hands, even they heard from Roman Governor Pilate that in JESUS, he found no fault.
And Pilate presented JESUS to His people: the Jews.
Who condemned JESUS, because He said again, and again the truth.
He has to die for them according to the law;
because He made Himself the Son of GOD;
Again and again, He said it, because it is the truth.
He said: “I am the way the truth and the life, no man cometh unto the Father but by me” John 14:6 KJV
He came to give us the gift of His love.
And He suffered for the salvation of each one of us.
I beleive what JESUS said is true, I hope and pray you believe Him too!
* garnered potentials- He was appointed by the Roman Emperor Tiberius the fifth governor of Judaea.
* greatly powered – He was vestedpower from Rome over all the people of Judah, that even the High Priest has to come to him for judgement.
* given the privilege to meet CHRIST: He should have taken the opportunity to know the CHRIST through the power given him, He could have ask Him about who this Man JESUS that was brought to him for judgement, when JESUS speak to him about who he is, in John 18;37,38, but..
* ghastly pressed with fear of the Jews; that he just sat down and gave the people the his approval to do to Jesus what they think is right. V. 4, 12,13
He pronounced JESUS was without fault. He has audacity to braggingly said to The LORD that he has power to free Him, but his fear for the pressing madness of the Jews, and their threatening words that he will be reported as Caesar’s adversary. His fear of losing power and the comfort it afforded him; pushed him; to be remembered as the coward; who did not stand for the truth and his conviction; that he has been among the major accessories of scourging, slapping, and all the cause of CHRIST The LORD’s sufferings.
Let his character be our mirror: who are we in the sight of CHRIST?
Are we among His faithful companionswho will take a stand or fierce condemner because we just chose to sit down and watch?
Matthew 25 KJV
“40Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:
43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?
45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.”
2. About the unimaginable treatmentof the people to JESUS.
John 19:17-24 KJV –
JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS
Published in the worst way possible
For all people to see
Some who saw it mocked Him,
Some cry broken hearted full of empathy.
JESUS the LORD and Master,
His comforting words remain.
But these hungry dogs surrounds Him,
Caused their King sorrow and pain.
Pontius Pilate gave in to their whims,
Though he acknowledge Him as their King.
The soldiers parted and casted lots for His garments.
After they lifted the cross where His hands and feet they nailed.
The meek, the loving, and the powerful Master,
Is now hanging on the cross with the villain.
Bearing to Himself all the sorrow and shame,
Making sure that His beloveds will not perish on their way.
Giving His body to be crucified for His love to mankind. So that all who believe will proclaim:
JESUS of Nazareth: is our Savior and King!
3. About the undoubting trust of JESUS to John the Beloved and the unfailing love of the God the Father through His Son for mankind.
John 19:25-42 KJV -
On the cross crucified, hang the Son of GOD.
Even in death, His heart is full of love.
Compassion for His mother, He entrusted to whom He knew will care for her.
Then at the last breath, He voiced out to them: “I thirst.”
For earthly water, and for compassion of this humanity, He beg.
And as His Father GOD fully knew the law of the land,
He gave up His ghost before the hour should come.
So that no bone of His body be broken,
But the soldier pierce His side to make sure death Him has taken.
And with compassion He was buried on grave, by them who secretly followed Him.
His words to us now echo: In death, He was lifted up on that cross, for all the world to know.
Through Him, salvation was given to all nation, but first to all the Jews.
Forgiveness through His shed blood on that cross, to us all who believe in Him;
Must know, He loves us so.
Many songs have been composed and written for the sufferings of the The LORD on that cross. Yet more and more songs will be composed. More and more teachings will be preached on every pulpit giving emphasis to the passion of the cross. Until the day of the LORD will come, that the preaching about the grace of GOD will cease and stop.
For as we still live in this earth, we as GOD’S children will never cease to read the word of GOD that gives us marvelous strength. Even wisdom that none of us can comprehend. And most of all, we will keep on singing with all of our heart: The GOD’s Amazing Grace. Until that day, when all will gladly shout with rejoicing, not mocking: JESUS of Nazareth is the King of the Jews: the King of all kings, who will rule forever and ever. Amen!
John 19:1-7 KJV
“[1]Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged him.
[2] And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and they put on him a purple robe,
[3] And said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they smote him with their hands.
[4] Pilate therefore went forth again, and saith unto them, Behold, I bring him forth to you, that ye may know that I find no fault in him.
[5] Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And Pilate saith unto them, Behold the man!
[6] When the chief priests therefore and officers saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Take ye him, and crucify him: for I find no fault in him.
[7] The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.
“[8]When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he was the more afraid;
[9] And went again into the judgment hall, and saith unto Jesus, Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer.
[10] Then saith Pilate unto him, Speakestthou not unto me? knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and have power to release thee?
[11] 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.
[12] 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.
[13] 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.
[14] And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King!
[15] 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.
[16] Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him away. Pilate saith unto the Jews: Behold your King!
17 And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha:
18 Where they crucified him, and two otherwith him, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst.
19 And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was, JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS.
20 This title then read many of the Jews: for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city: and it was written in Hebrew, and Greek, and Latin.
21 Then said the chief priests of the Jews to Pilate, Write not, The King of the Jews; but that he said, I am King of the Jews.
22 Pilate answered, What I have written I have written.
23 Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also his coat: now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout.
24 They said therefore among themselves, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, They parted my raiment among them, and for my vesture they did cast lots. These things therefore the soldiers did.
[25] Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene.
26 When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son!
27 Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home.
28 After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst.
29 Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a spunge with vinegar, and put it upon hyssop, and put it to his mouth.
30 When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.
31 The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that sabbath day was an high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.
32 Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other which was crucified with him.
33 But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs:
34 But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water.
35 And he that saw it bare record, and his record is true: and he knoweth that he saithtrue, that ye might believe.
36 For these things were done, that the scripture should be fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken.
37 And again another scripture saith, They shall look on him whom they pierced.
38 And after this Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate gave him leave. He came therefore, and took the body of Jesus.
39 And there came also Nicodemus, which at the first came to Jesus by night, and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about an hundred pound weight.
40 Then took they the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen clothes with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury.
41 Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden; and in the garden a new sepulchre, wherein was never man yet laid.
42 There laid they Jesus therefore because of the Jews' preparation day; for the sepulchre was nigh at hand.
