TUT Posts for Crucifixion Friday, 2017

From The Bible, speaking of the Jews regarding Jesus Christ: John 11: 53-57 “Then from that day forth they took counsel together for to put him to death. Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews. Then sought they for Jesus … Now both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a commandment, that, if any man knew where he were, he should shew it, that they might take him”. John 70:6,7 “Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil?” [He spoke of Judas Iscariot the son of Simon, an Edomite, – Hitchcock, author of The Synagogue of Satan] Mt. 26;14-16 “Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went unto the chief priests, And said unto them, What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they covenanted with them for thirty pieces of silver … Then the band and the captain and the officers of the Jews took Jesus, and bound him.” John 18:28-31 “Then led they Jesus from Caiaphus unto the hall of judgement: Pilate (the Roman procurator in Judea) asked of the Jews, “What accusation bring ye against this man?” John 18:34-40 “They answered and said unto him, If he were not a malefactor, we would not have delivered him up unto thee.” Following interrogation, Pilate “went out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them, I find in him no fault at all.” Yet the Jews would not relent pressuring Pilate, John 19:1-22 “Pilate therefore went forth again, and saith unto them, Behold, I bring him forth to you, that ye may find that I find no fault in him. 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.”
Pilate, for his conduct, was removed from the position of Procurator and banished by the Roman government to Vienne, in southern France, where he committed suicide. Mt. 27:3-5 “And Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that he (Jesus) was condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders (in an effort to reverse his action), Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed innocent blood. And they said, What is that to us? And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself.”
What of the remaining eleven disciples who had spent over three years in close relationship with Jesus?  John was banished to the Isle of Patmos where he wrote the Book of Revelation.  It is recorded he was thrown into boiling oil, but survived and returned to Ephesus, Turkey, where he either died an old man, or was murdered. The records are unclear. All the rest were pursued and murdered under the direction of powerful Jewish leaders in Jerusalem who deemed the disciples guilty “by association”.
Historical records reveal Bartholomew was skinned alive and beheaded; James, the Lesser was stoned and clubbed-to-death; Andrew was crucified upside down on an X-shaped cross; Simon Peter was crucified upside down under Nero’s direction; Thomas was impaled on a spear; James, the Great was beheaded; Phillip was crucified; Matthew was burned-to-death; Jude Thaddeus was sawed or axed to death; Simon the Zealot was sawed or axed-to-death. http://scannedthoughts.wordpress.com/2010/03/29/the-12-apostles-skinned-stoned-crucified-and-HYPERLINK “http://scannedthoughts.wordpress.com/2010/03/29/the-12-apostles-skinned-stoned-crucified-and-beheaded/”beheaded/ and http://www.ichthus.info/Disciples/intro.html .
