RE: The Gospel of Mark

in #reliquary8 years ago

The Sanhedrin took Jesus to Pilato because the Romans had denied him authority to apply the death penalty, Pilate would have to pronounce the sentence.
Jewish religious matters did not matter much to Pilate, so surely the charge of blasphemy would not impress him. Hence, the Sanhedrin would twist the accusations against Jesus, imputing that he was instigating a rebellion against the Romans.
Pilate knew that Jesus was innocent, but he ignored his conscience to please the Jewish religious leaders.
Victims of lashes were stripped and tied to a pole, then beaten mercilessly with a whip made of braided leather strips ... the victim was forced to carry his own cross to the place of execution, but Jesus, weakened, he could not bear his weight, Alexander and Rufus seem to have been known by the readers of Mark (Romans 16.13).
The word calvario is derived from the Latin word calvania, "a calabera".
The Roman custom was to strip the condemned and give his clothes to those who participated in the crucifixion.
The third hour: 9.00 am, He could not save himself and, at the same time, be the savior of others, the desperate exclamation of Jesus (Psalms 22.1) reflects the weight of the sins of humanity, his complete identification with sinners, and a real abandonment on the part of God.
The tombs dug in the rock were normally closed by a large stone that was placed in the mouth of the hole.
finally I must say that, we must reflect on the insults, abuse, afflictions, ridicule that our lord was subjected to, for love of us, says the book of Isaiah 53.7 "He was distressed and afflicted, he did not open his mouth, as lamb was carried to the slaughterhouse, and as a sheep before her shearers, she was silent, and she did not open her mouth ... "
¡What an act of greater love!
