JC - Chapter 34

After condemning the Savior of blasphemy, I find it interesting of their comments and justifications in presenting the Savior before Pilate and their plea to Pilate in having Him killed -

"...If he were not a malefactor, we would not have delivered him up unto thee."  (New Testament | John 18:30)

Obviously, they said nothing concerning blasphemy.

"...It is not lawful for us to put any man to death..."  (New Testament | John 18:31)

According to Jewish law, He would have been stoned...not as prophesied.

"...We found this fellow perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Cæsar, saying that he himself is Christ a King."  (New Testament | Luke 23:2)

As Pilate found Him not guilty, they exclaimed -

"...He stirreth up the people, teaching throughout all Jewry, beginning from Galilee to this place."  (New Testament | Luke 23:5)

Which lead to Jesus being presented to Herod Antipas.  Later in answer to Pilate -

"...Let him be crucified."...Let him be crucified."  (New Testament | Matthew 27:22 - 23)

And then the Jews cried -

"...His blood be on us, and on our children."  (New Testament | Matthew 27:25)

It is then they confess that blasphemy was their cause -

"...We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God."  (New Testament | John 19:7)

And then finally, their true colors to murder the Savior as these self-professed leaders of the
Jews exclaimed -

"...The chief priest answered, We have no king but Cæsar."  (New Testament | John 19:15)

All these statements to their condemnation.
