Happy Good Friday / Passover **Sticky**

 

For our Jewish friends, Chag Pesach Sameach. For we Christians, have a blessed Good Friday. I know Howie already posted about it, but I wanted John's version of the events that happened on that day up. In his gospel, John reminds his readers that he was there. That he saw this happen with his own eyes.

And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King! 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. Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him away.

And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha: Where they crucified him, and two other with him, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst. And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS.

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. 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. Pilate answered, What I have written I have written.

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.

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.

Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene.

When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son!

Any movie having any sort of historic accuracy concerning the passion of Christ can ONLY have XXX rating. Actually, according to existing law viewing, owning or presenting such movie would be a felony. The passion of Christ as a movie would be nothing more than a 'snuff' flick.

 

The gruesome, grotesque, brutality of the 'actors/director' of such "movie" would grant reason for pause to sanity of all involved.

 

I would NOT want to be on that jury.
