The chief priests therefore and officers saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify him

And with him they crucify two thieves; the one on his right hand, and the other on his left.

1 Peter 2:24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.

25 For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.

 

John 19:6 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.

 

Mark 15:1 And straightway in the morning the chief priests held a consultation with the elders and scribes and the whole council, and bound Jesus, and carried him away, and delivered him to Pilate.

• The chief priests held a consultation with the elders and scribes and the whole council, and bound Jesus,  and delivered him to Pilate.
• Revelation 2:9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.

2 And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answering said unto him, Thou sayest it.

•  Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answering said unto him, Thou sayest it.
• Jesus didn't say he was king of the Jews = Thou sayest it
• Jesus = King of Kings and Lord of Lords

3 And the chief priests accused him of many things: but he answered nothing.

• Jesus didn't say anything

4 And Pilate asked him again, saying, Answerest thou nothing? behold how many things they witness against thee.

5 But Jesus yet answered nothing; so that Pilate marvelled.

• On this Passover it was written about 1,000 years before it happen.
• Isaiah 53:3 He (Jesus) is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
  4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
  5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
  6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
  7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.
  8 He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken.
  9 And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.
  10 Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.
  11 He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.
  12 Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

6 Now at that feast he released unto them one prisoner, whomsoever they desired.

• At Passover = Pilate willing going to release Jesus

7 And there was one named Barabbas, which lay bound with them that had made insurrection with him, who had committed murder in the insurrection.

• Barabbas = son of the father = Satan
• The people had the son of God and the son of Satan
• Let's see who they will stand up for.
• Verse 11 But the chief priests moved the people, that he should rather release Barabbas unto them.
• Verse 13 And they cried out again, Crucify him

8 And the multitude crying aloud began to desire him to do as he had ever done unto them.

9 But Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto you the King of the Jews?

• John 15:25 But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause.

10 For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy.

• The chief priests had delivered him for envy

11 But the chief priests moved the people, that he should rather release Barabbas unto them.

• The chief priests moved the people, release Barabbas = the murderer unto them
• Mark 15:7 And there was one named Barabbas, which lay bound with them that had made insurrection with him, who had committed murder in the insurrection.
• of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.
• Matthew 27:20 But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.
• John 18:40 Then cried they all again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.
• Acts 3:14 But ye denied the Holy One and the Just, and desired a murderer to be granted unto you;
• Acts 14:2 But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles, and made their minds evil affected against the brethren.
• Revelation 2:9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.

12 And Pilate answered and said again unto them, What will ye then that I shall do unto him whom ye call the King of the Jews?

13 And they cried out again, Crucify him.

• The chief priests and the people = kenites
• Revelation 2:9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.
• John 8:19 Then said they unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also.

14 Then Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath he done? And they cried out the more exceedingly, Crucify him.

• They = kenites = seed of Satan
• Revelation 2:9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.

15 And so Pilate, willing to content the people, released Barabbas unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified.

• It was written that this would happen.

16 And the soldiers led him away into the hall, called Prætorium; and they call together the whole band.

17 And they clothed him with purple, and platted a crown of thorns, and put it about his head,

18 And began to salute him, Hail, King of the Jews!

19 And they smote him on the head with a reed, and did spit upon him, and bowing their knees worshipped him.

• Jesus already told them this would happen = Mark 10
• Mark 10:32 And they were in the way going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus went before them: and they were amazed; and as they followed, they were afraid. And he took again the twelve, and began to tell them what things should happen unto him,
  33 Saying, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be delivered unto the chief priests, and unto the scribes; and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him to the Gentiles:
  34 And they shall mock him, and shall scourge him, and shall spit upon him, and shall kill him: and the third day he shall rise again.
  35 And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, come unto him, saying, Master, we would that thou shouldest do for us whatsoever we shall desire.
  36 And he said unto them, What would ye that I should do for you?
  37 They said unto him, Grant unto us that we may sit, one on thy right hand, and the other on thy left hand, in thy glory.
  38 But Jesus said unto them, Ye know not what ye ask: can ye drink of the cup that I drink of? and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?
  39 And they said unto him, We can. And Jesus said unto them, Ye shall indeed drink of the cup that I drink of; and with the baptism that I am baptized withal shall ye be baptized:
  40 But to sit on my right hand and on my left hand is not mine to give; but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared.
  41 And when the ten heard it, they began to be much displeased with James and John.
  42 But Jesus called them to him, and saith unto them, Ye know that they which are accounted to rule over the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and their great ones exercise authority upon them.
  43 But so shall it not be among you: but whosoever will be great among you, shall be your minister:
  44 And whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be servant of all.

20 And when they had mocked him, they took off the purple from him, and put his own clothes on him, and led him out to crucify him.

21 And they compel one Simon a Cyrenian, who passed by, coming out of the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to bear his cross.

22 And they bring him unto the place Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, The place of a skull.

23 And they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh: but he received it not.

24 And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments, casting lots upon them, what every man should take.

25 And it was the third hour, and they crucified him.

26 And the superscription of his accusation was written over, THE KING OF THE JEWS .

• Acts 17:23 For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you.

27 And with him they crucify two thieves; the one on his right hand, and the other on his left.

• Him they crucify two thieves; the one on his right hand, and the other on his left
• John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

28 And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, And he was numbered with the transgressors.

• The scripture was fulfilled = this was written 1,000 years before it happen = Psalms 22
• Isaiah 53:12 Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.
• Transgressors = lawless ones
• Railed on = were blaspheming.

29 And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads, and saying, Ah, thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days,

30 Save thyself, and come down from the cross.

31 Likewise also the chief priests mocking said among themselves with the scribes, He saved others; himself he cannot save.

32 Let Christ the King of Israel descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with him reviled him.

• Let Christ the King of Israel descend now from the cross = the king of Israel

33 And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.

• John 19:14 And it was the preparation of the Passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King!
• That the first day of each of the three feasts, Passover, Pentecost, and Tabernacles, was "a holy convocation", a "Sabbath" on which no servile work was to be done.
• Sixth hour = 12 pm
• Ninth hour = 3 pm
• The sixth hour of the day =  From sunrise: noon.
• Was = became = The ninth hour = The hour of offering the evening sacrifice: 3 p. m.
• So that the darkness was from noon till 3 p. m.
• The third hour = Of the day 9 a. m. No discrepancy; for the sixth hour of was the sixth hour of the night (from about sunset), "about" midnight (in the midst of the trial), when Pilate said "Behold your King".
• The context there and here explains and settles the matter. Here, the trial was over; the trial was going on.
• It was the hour of the morning sacrifice.
• John 11:9 Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world.
• The "high day" of  John 19:31 was the first day of the feast.
• The "first day of the feast" was on the 15th day of Nisan.
• The 15th day of Nisan, commenced at sunset on what we should call the 14th.
• "Six days before the Passover" John 12:1 takes us back to the 9th day of Nisan.
• "After two days is the Passover" (Matthew 26:2 and Mark 14:1) takes us to the 13th day of Nisan.
• "The first day of the week", the day of the resurrection (Matthew 28:10), was from our Saturday sunset to our Sunday sunset.
• This fixes the days of the week, just as the above fix the days of the month, for: Reckoning back from this, "three days and three nights" (Matthew 12:40), we arrive at the day of the burial, which must have been before sunset, on the 14th of Nisan; before our Wednesday sunset.
• This makes the sixth day before the Passover (the 9th day of Nisan) to be our Thursday sunset to Friday sunset.

34 And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

• Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani = which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
• Jesus never called His Father God, He always called Him Father
• Jesus quoted Psalms 22:1 were the scripture would be fulfilled = This was written in Psalms 22:1 = 1,000 years before it happen.
• Psalms 22:1 A Psalm of David. My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?
  2 O my God, I cry in the daytime, but thou hearest not; and in the night season, and am not silent.
  3 But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.
  4 Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didst deliver them.
  5 They cried unto thee, and were delivered: they trusted in thee, and were not confounded.
  6 But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people.
  7 All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying,
  8 He trusted on the Lord that he would deliver him: let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him.
  9 But thou art he that took me out of the womb: thou didst make me hope when I was upon my mother's breasts.
  10 I was cast upon thee from the womb: thou art my God from my mother's belly.
  11 Be not far from me; for trouble is near; for there is none to help.
  12 Many bulls have compassed me: strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round.
  13 They gaped upon me with their mouths, as a ravening and a roaring lion.
  14 I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels.
  15 My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death.
  16 For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.
  17 I may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon me.
  18 They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture.
  19 But be not thou far from me, O Lord: O my strength, haste thee to help me.
  20 Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling from the power of the dog.
  21 Save me from the lion's mouth: for thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns.
  22 I will declare thy name unto my brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee.
  23 Ye that fear the Lord, praise him; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him; and fear him, all ye the seed of Israel.
  24 For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; neither hath he hid his face from him; but when he cried unto him, he heard.
  25 My praise shall be of thee in the great congregation: I will pay my vows before them that fear him.
  26 The meek shall eat and be satisfied: they shall praise the Lord that seek him: your heart shall live for ever.
  27 All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the Lord: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee.
  28 For the kingdom is the Lord's: and he is the governor among the nations.
  29 All they that be fat upon earth shall eat and worship: all they that go down to the dust shall bow before him: and none can keep alive his own soul.
  30 A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation.
  31 They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done this.
• Matthew 27:46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

35 And some of them that stood by, when they heard it, said, Behold, he calleth Elias.

• Elias = Elijah

36 And one ran and filled a spunge full of vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink, saying, Let alone; let us see whether Elias will come to take him down.

37 And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the spirit.

• Luke 23:46 And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the spirit.
• John 19:30 When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.

38 And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom.

39 And when the centurion, which stood over against him, saw that he so cried out, and gave up the spirit, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God.

40 There were also women looking on afar off: among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome.

• Who was with Jesus at the end, The Women, Mary Magdalene and His mother

41 (Who also, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and ministered unto him;) and many other women which came up with him unto Jerusalem.

• Many other women which came up with him unto Jerusalem.

42 And now when the even was come, because it was the preparation, that is, the day before the Sabbath,

43 Joseph of Arimathaea, an honourable counsellor, which also waited for the kingdom of God, came, and went in boldly unto Pilate, and craved the body of Jesus.

44 And Pilate marvelled if he were already dead: and calling unto him the centurion, he asked him whether he had been any while dead.

45 And when he knew it of the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph.

46 And he bought fine linen, and took him down, and wrapped him in the linen, and laid him in a sepulchre which was hewn out of a rock, and rolled a stone unto the door of the sepulchre.

47 And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses beheld where he was laid.

(Leviticus. 26: 28-46) God warned Israel that if they persisted in continually breaking His Laws, not only would curses come upon them.

He would punish them for seven times, (a time being 360 years, seven times would be 2520 years) and would banish them from the land of Palestine and scatter them among the heathens (like lost sheep)
