Where<00:21:17.480><c> we</c><00:21:22.039><c> read</c><00:21:22.460><c> that</c><00:21:23.079><c> after</c><00:21:23.859><c> they</c><00:21:24.019><c> had</c><00:21:24.299><c> formulated</c><00:21:24.700><c> the</c><00:21:24.980><c> charges</c><00:21:25.559><c> before</c><00:21:28.119><c> the</c>

00:21:28.380 --> 00:21:29.539
elders<00:21:28.700><c> and</c><00:21:28.900><c> the</c><00:21:29.160><c> scribes</c>

00:21:29.539 --> 00:21:32.559
and<00:21:29.660><c> the</c><00:21:29.839><c> whole</c><00:21:30.059><c> council,</c><00:21:30.799><c> they</c><00:21:31.059><c> bound</c><00:21:31.420><c> Jesus</c><00:21:31.920><c> and</c><00:21:32.299><c> carried</c>

00:21:32.559 --> 00:21:36.500
him<00:21:32.759><c> away</c><00:21:33.160><c> and</c><00:21:33.759><c> delivered</c><00:21:34.039><c> him</c><00:21:34.500><c> to</c><00:21:34.880><c> Pilate.</c>

00:21:37.099 --> 00:21:41.420
As<00:21:37.460><c> the</c><00:21:37.740><c> Jews</c><00:21:38.019><c> led</c><00:21:38.359><c> Jesus</c><00:21:38.859><c> to</c><00:21:39.059><c> his</c><00:21:39.299><c> judgment</c><00:21:39.700><c> before</c><00:21:40.259><c> the</c><00:21:40.619><c> Roman</c><00:21:40.880><c> law,</c>

00:21:41.619 --> 00:21:43.119
they<00:21:41.900><c> were</c><00:21:42.140><c> in</c><00:21:42.319><c> effect</c><00:21:42.619><c> leading</c>

00:21:43.119 --> 00:21:45.160
themselves<00:21:43.859><c> to</c><00:21:44.180><c> judgment.</c>

00:21:45.180 --> 00:21:49.259
Jesus<00:21:45.619><c> was</c><00:21:46.200><c> the</c><00:21:46.559><c> judge,</c><00:21:47.420><c> they</c><00:21:47.759><c> were</c><00:21:48.000><c> the</c><00:21:48.299><c> accused,</c><00:21:48.920><c> carrying</c>

00:21:49.259 --> 00:21:51.140
themselves<00:21:49.759><c> to</c><00:21:50.019><c> judgment,</c><00:21:50.720><c> their</c><00:21:50.839><c> very</c>

00:21:51.140 --> 00:21:53.960
actions<00:21:51.680><c> testifying</c><00:21:52.640><c> against</c><00:21:53.019><c> them.</c>

00:21:54.039 --> 00:21:56.039
And<00:21:54.200><c> now</c><00:21:54.420><c> what</c><00:21:54.579><c> of</c><00:21:54.660><c> this</c><00:21:54.880><c> man</c><00:21:55.059><c> Pilate?</c>

00:21:56.440 --> 00:22:00.819
Pilate<00:21:56.880><c> was</c><00:21:57.700><c> a</c><00:21:58.240><c> career</c><00:21:58.579><c> soldier</c><00:21:59.079><c> on</c><00:21:59.619><c> various</c><00:22:00.099><c> borders</c><00:22:00.559><c> of</c><00:22:00.740><c> the</c>

00:22:00.819 --> 00:22:02.900
Roman<00:22:01.059><c> Empire</c><00:22:01.519><c> for</c><00:22:01.720><c> many</c><00:22:01.920><c> years.</c>

00:22:03.099 --> 00:22:06.420
He<00:22:03.259><c> had</c><00:22:03.420><c> a</c><00:22:03.599><c> family</c><00:22:03.799><c> connection</c><00:22:04.259><c> by</c><00:22:04.519><c> marriage</c><00:22:05.000><c> to</c><00:22:05.759><c> Tiberius,</c>

00:22:06.440 --> 00:22:07.940
the<00:22:06.740><c> emperor,</c><00:22:07.039><c> and</c><00:22:07.140><c> this</c><00:22:07.359><c> is</c><00:22:07.660><c> perhaps</c>

00:22:07.940 --> 00:22:10.559
why<00:22:08.240><c> he</c><00:22:08.420><c> rose</c><00:22:08.680><c> to</c><00:22:08.900><c> such</c><00:22:09.140><c> preeminence.</c>

00:22:10.759 --> 00:22:13.759
His<00:22:11.099><c> origin</c><00:22:11.480><c> certainly</c><00:22:11.880><c> didn't</c><00:22:12.359><c> dictate</c><00:22:12.799><c> that.</c>

00:22:13.960 --> 00:22:16.720
He<00:22:14.259><c> was</c><00:22:14.519><c> a</c><00:22:14.799><c> crude</c><00:22:15.019><c> and</c><00:22:15.279><c> attackless</c><00:22:15.819><c> man.</c>

00:22:16.880 --> 00:22:20.039
The<00:22:17.019><c> history</c><00:22:17.319><c> of</c><00:22:17.440><c> the</c><00:22:17.619><c> times</c><00:22:17.839><c> reveals</c><00:22:18.279><c> that</c><00:22:18.640><c> in</c><00:22:19.059><c> several</c><00:22:19.359><c> instances</c><00:22:19.839><c> he</c>

00:22:20.039 --> 00:22:22.400
was<00:22:20.359><c> completely</c><00:22:21.180><c> inconsiderate</c>

00:22:22.400 --> 00:22:24.400
of<00:22:22.700><c> the</c><00:22:22.920><c> religious</c><00:22:23.259><c> sensibilities</c><00:22:23.900><c> of</c><00:22:24.079><c> the</c><00:22:24.240><c> Jews.</c>

00:22:24.440 --> 00:22:27.660
He<00:22:24.539><c> had</c><00:22:24.759><c> no</c><00:22:25.259><c> time</c><00:22:25.759><c> and</c><00:22:26.140><c> no</c><00:22:26.420><c> inclination</c><00:22:26.920><c> for</c><00:22:27.119><c> their</c><00:22:27.299><c> foolish</c>

00:22:27.660 --> 00:22:29.960
speculations<00:22:28.480><c> about</c><00:22:28.960><c> God</c><00:22:29.319><c> and</c><00:22:29.500><c> the</c><00:22:29.680><c> law.</c>

00:22:30.319 --> 00:22:35.960
He<00:22:30.480><c> was</c><00:22:30.700><c> a</c><00:22:30.980><c> brutal</c><00:22:31.200><c> man</c><00:22:31.500><c> who</c><00:22:31.660><c> did</c><00:22:31.839><c> whatever</c><00:22:32.140><c> he</c><00:22:32.480><c> pleased</c><00:22:33.019><c> to</c><00:22:34.099><c> whomever</c><00:22:34.640><c> he</c><00:22:34.940><c> pleased.</c>

00:22:36.140 --> 00:22:41.119
And<00:22:36.519><c> yet</c><00:22:36.740><c> in</c><00:22:38.000><c> the</c><00:22:38.859><c> narrative</c><00:22:39.319><c> of</c><00:22:39.539><c> the</c><00:22:39.720><c> Gospels,</c><00:22:40.160><c> he</c><00:22:40.339><c> appears</c><00:22:40.640><c> to</c><00:22:40.839><c> be</c><00:22:40.940><c> a</c>

00:22:41.119 --> 00:22:42.220
very<00:22:41.519><c> different</c><00:22:41.839><c> man.</c>

00:22:42.220 --> 00:22:46.980
He<00:22:42.559><c> appears</c><00:22:42.880><c> to</c><00:22:43.059><c> be</c><00:22:43.339><c> timid</c><00:22:43.700><c> and</c><00:22:44.140><c> tentative</c><00:22:44.640><c> and</c><00:22:45.099><c> weak</c><00:22:45.359><c> and</c><00:22:45.640><c> indecisive.</c>

00:22:47.539 --> 00:22:49.700
And<00:22:47.799><c> certainly</c><00:22:48.059><c> we</c><00:22:48.299><c> say</c><00:22:48.460><c> to</c><00:22:48.660><c> ourselves,</c><00:22:49.240><c> there</c><00:22:49.339><c> must</c><00:22:49.579><c> have</c>

00:22:49.700 --> 00:22:51.859
been<00:22:49.819><c> some</c><00:22:50.059><c> reason</c><00:22:50.380><c> for</c><00:22:50.619><c> this,</c><00:22:51.059><c> that</c><00:22:51.200><c> his</c><00:22:51.460><c> actions</c>

00:22:51.859 --> 00:22:54.880
as<00:22:52.160><c> portrayed</c><00:22:52.500><c> in</c><00:22:52.680><c> the</c><00:22:52.859><c> Gospels</c><00:22:53.259><c> are</c><00:22:53.700><c> a</c><00:22:54.000><c> total</c><00:22:54.200><c> and</c><00:22:54.640><c> complete</c>

00:22:54.880 --> 00:22:57.259
reversal<00:22:55.500><c> of</c><00:22:55.980><c> all</c><00:22:56.180><c> of</c><00:22:56.299><c> his</c><00:22:56.500><c> previous</c><00:22:56.900><c> form</c>

00:22:57.259 --> 00:22:58.839
and<00:22:57.400><c> his</c><00:22:57.619><c> previous</c><00:22:57.940><c> life.</c>

00:22:58.960 --> 00:23:02.220
We'll<00:22:59.180><c> see</c><00:22:59.380><c> perhaps</c><00:22:59.819><c> in</c><00:23:00.200><c> another</c><00:23:00.420><c> reference</c><00:23:00.799><c> in</c><00:23:00.960><c> a</c><00:23:01.119><c> moment</c><00:23:01.420><c> why</c><00:23:01.920><c> he</c>

00:23:02.220 --> 00:23:03.859
behaved<00:23:02.599><c> as</c><00:23:02.819><c> he</c><00:23:02.980><c> did.</c>

00:23:04.140 --> 00:23:10.220
Meanwhile,<00:23:05.740><c> we</c><00:23:06.000><c> now</c><00:23:06.279><c> pause</c><00:23:06.539><c> for</c><00:23:06.759><c> a</c><00:23:06.859><c> moment</c><00:23:07.119><c> to</c><00:23:07.359><c> look</c><00:23:07.500><c> at</c><00:23:07.619><c> Matthew</c><00:23:07.940><c> 27</c><00:23:08.740><c> and</c><00:23:09.160><c> verse</c><00:23:09.400><c> 3</c>

00:23:10.220 --> 00:23:12.819
to<00:23:11.319><c> discuss</c><00:23:11.880><c> the</c><00:23:12.460><c> fate</c>

00:23:12.819 --> 00:23:14.019
of<00:23:13.180><c> Judas.</c>

00:23:15.460 --> 00:23:19.740
And<00:23:15.700><c> so</c><00:23:15.839><c> we</c><00:23:15.980><c> read</c><00:23:16.319><c> from</c><00:23:16.720><c> verse</c><00:23:16.980><c> 3</c><00:23:17.259><c> of</c><00:23:17.400><c> Matthew</c><00:23:17.680><c> 27,</c>

00:23:23.400 --> 00:23:26.640
Then<00:23:23.519><c> Judas,</c><00:23:24.000><c> which</c><00:23:24.240><c> had</c><00:23:24.480><c> betrayed</c><00:23:24.839><c> him,</c><00:23:25.740><c> when</c><00:23:25.960><c> he</c><00:23:26.220><c> saw</c><00:23:26.480><c> that</c>

00:23:26.640 --> 00:23:27.660
he<00:23:26.819><c> was</c><00:23:27.140><c> condemned.</c>

00:23:27.660 --> 00:23:30.440
So<00:23:27.880><c> here</c><00:23:28.079><c> perhaps</c><00:23:28.380><c> we</c><00:23:28.519><c> have</c><00:23:28.660><c> an</c><00:23:28.819><c> indication</c><00:23:29.279><c> of</c><00:23:29.859><c> the</c><00:23:30.079><c> time</c><00:23:30.299><c> at</c>

00:23:30.440 --> 00:23:33.299
which<00:23:30.640><c> Judas</c><00:23:31.079><c> then</c><00:23:32.380><c> acted</c><00:23:32.740><c> to</c><00:23:32.960><c> take</c><00:23:33.099><c> his</c>

00:23:33.299 --> 00:23:34.420
own<00:23:33.480><c> life.</c>

00:23:34.839 --> 00:23:38.400
Judas<00:23:35.119><c> repented</c><00:23:35.759><c> himself</c><00:23:36.440><c> and</c><00:23:36.980><c> brought</c><00:23:37.200><c> again</c><00:23:37.480><c> the</c><00:23:37.680><c> 30</c><00:23:37.859><c> pieces</c><00:23:38.160><c> of</c>

silver,<00:23:38.640><c> which</c><00:23:38.759><c> were</c><00:23:38.980><c> probably</c><00:23:39.160><c> only</c>

00:23:39.440 --> 00:23:41.799
a<00:23:39.599><c> down</c><00:23:39.819><c> payment</c><00:23:40.079><c> for</c><00:23:40.279><c> the</c><00:23:40.440><c> money</c><00:23:40.619><c> that</c><00:23:40.779><c> he</c><00:23:40.980><c> was</c><00:23:41.200><c> to</c><00:23:41.440><c> receive</c>

00:23:41.799 --> 00:23:43.900
if<00:23:42.180><c> he</c><00:23:42.359><c> had</c><00:23:42.640><c> successfully</c><00:23:43.079><c> finished</c><00:23:43.559><c> his</c>

00:23:43.900 --> 00:23:47.019
task<00:23:44.359><c> in</c><00:23:45.420><c> the</c><00:23:45.700><c> betrayal</c><00:23:45.980><c> and</c><00:23:46.160><c> the</c><00:23:46.319><c> death</c><00:23:46.460><c> of</c><00:23:46.619><c> Jesus.</c>

00:23:47.259 --> 00:23:50.579
He<00:23:47.559><c> brought</c><00:23:47.880><c> this</c><00:23:48.180><c> down</c><00:23:48.519><c> payment</c><00:23:48.740><c> of</c><00:23:48.880><c> the</c><00:23:49.079><c> 30</c><00:23:49.259><c> pieces</c><00:23:49.579><c> of</c><00:23:49.819><c> silver</c><00:23:50.160><c> to</c>

00:23:50.579 --> 00:23:52.500
the<00:23:50.759><c> chief</c><00:23:51.000><c> priests</c><00:23:51.299><c> and</c><00:23:51.559><c> elders,</c>

00:23:52.539 --> 00:23:55.720
saying<00:23:52.819><c> to</c><00:23:53.000><c> them,</c><00:23:53.539><c> I</c><00:23:53.779><c> have</c><00:23:54.160><c> sinned</c><00:23:54.539><c> in</c><00:23:54.779><c> that</c><00:23:54.920><c> I</c><00:23:55.160><c> have</c><00:23:55.380><c> betrayed</c>

00:23:55.720 --> 00:23:57.299

00:23:57.819 --> 00:23:59.599
And<00:23:58.119><c> they</c><00:23:58.279><c> said,</c><00:23:58.619><c> what</c><00:23:58.900><c> is</c><00:23:59.079><c> that</c><00:23:59.220><c> to</c><00:23:59.400><c> us?</c>

00:23:59.759 --> 00:24:01.640
See<00:24:00.000><c> thou</c><00:24:00.240><c> to</c><00:24:00.420><c> that,</c><00:24:00.720><c> as</c><00:24:00.880><c> though</c><00:24:00.980><c> they</c><00:24:01.079><c> didn't</c><00:24:01.240><c> want</c><00:24:01.319><c> to</c><00:24:01.420><c> be</c>

00:24:01.640 --> 00:24:02.779
bothered<00:24:01.859><c> anymore</c><00:24:02.220><c> with</c><00:24:02.440><c> Judas.</c>

00:24:02.779 --> 00:24:05.279
Don't<00:24:03.400><c> come</c><00:24:03.799><c> to</c><00:24:04.019><c> us</c><00:24:04.240><c> publicly</c><00:24:04.640><c> like</c><00:24:05.000><c> this.</c>

00:24:05.420 --> 00:24:06.599
Don't<00:24:05.700><c> bring</c><00:24:05.940><c> this</c><00:24:06.180><c> money.</c>

00:24:06.880 --> 00:24:09.420
And<00:24:07.019><c> he</c><00:24:07.220><c> cast</c><00:24:07.500><c> down</c><00:24:07.799><c> the</c><00:24:08.000><c> pieces</c><00:24:08.200><c> of</c><00:24:08.519><c> silver</c><00:24:08.740><c> in</c><00:24:08.920><c> the</c><00:24:09.079><c> temple</c>

00:24:09.420 --> 00:24:12.400
and<00:24:09.920><c> departed</c><00:24:10.380><c> and</c><00:24:10.960><c> went</c><00:24:11.200><c> and</c><00:24:11.680><c> hanged</c><00:24:12.039><c> himself.</c>

00:24:12.720 --> 00:24:16.079
And<00:24:12.960><c> the</c><00:24:13.119><c> chief</c><00:24:13.299><c> priests</c><00:24:13.559><c> took</c><00:24:13.759><c> the</c><00:24:13.980><c> silver</c><00:24:14.240><c> pieces</c><00:24:14.660><c> and</c><00:24:15.380><c> in</c><00:24:15.960><c> a</c>

00:24:16.079 --> 00:24:21.680
rather<00:24:16.980><c> curious</c><00:24:17.839><c> and</c><00:24:18.559><c> ironic</c><00:24:19.440><c> concern</c>

00:24:22.279 --> 00:24:26.680
for<00:24:22.799><c> legal</c><00:24:23.319><c> form</c><00:24:23.720><c> and</c><00:24:23.980><c> appearance,</c><00:24:24.380><c> they</c><00:24:24.740><c> say,</c><00:24:25.200><c> it</c><00:24:25.420><c> is</c><00:24:25.680><c> not</c><00:24:25.940><c> lawful</c><00:24:26.380><c> for</c><00:24:26.539><c> to</c>

00:24:26.680 --> 00:24:27.740
put<00:24:26.839><c> this</c><00:24:27.099><c> into</c><00:24:27.259><c> the</c><00:24:27.519><c> treasury.</c>

00:24:27.839 --> 00:24:28.960
It's<00:24:27.980><c> the</c><00:24:28.160><c> price</c><00:24:28.380><c> of</c><00:24:28.680><c> blood.</c>

00:24:28.960 --> 00:24:31.940
And<00:24:29.299><c> they</c><00:24:29.400><c> took</c><00:24:29.599><c> counsel</c><00:24:29.980><c> and</c><00:24:30.180><c> bought</c><00:24:30.319><c> with</c><00:24:30.559><c> them</c><00:24:31.059><c> the</c><00:24:31.380><c> potter's</c><00:24:31.779><c> field</c>

00:24:31.940 --> 00:24:33.220
to<00:24:32.140><c> bury</c><00:24:32.299><c> strangers</c><00:24:32.799><c> in.</c>

00:24:33.440 --> 00:24:35.720
Therefore,<00:24:33.799><c> that</c><00:24:33.980><c> field</c><00:24:34.200><c> is</c><00:24:34.460><c> called</c><00:24:34.680><c> the</c><00:24:34.819><c> field</c><00:24:35.039><c> of</c><00:24:35.279><c> blood</c>

00:24:35.720 --> 00:24:36.640
unto<00:24:36.039><c> this</c><00:24:36.359><c> day.</c>

00:24:36.859 --> 00:24:39.339
Thus<00:24:37.079><c> was</c><00:24:37.339><c> fulfilled</c><00:24:37.720><c> the</c><00:24:38.019><c> prophecy</c><00:24:38.279><c> spoken</c><00:24:38.700><c> by</c><00:24:38.920><c> Jeremiah</c>

00:24:39.339 --> 00:24:39.940
the<00:24:39.500><c> prophet.</c>

00:24:40.240 --> 00:24:43.319
They<00:24:40.359><c> took</c><00:24:40.539><c> the</c><00:24:40.779><c> 30</c><00:24:40.960><c> pieces</c><00:24:41.279><c> of</c><00:24:41.539><c> silver</c><00:24:41.880><c> and</c><00:24:42.400><c> gave</c><00:24:42.680><c> them</c><00:24:42.940><c> for</c><00:24:43.140><c> a</c>

00:24:43.319 --> 00:24:44.539
potter's<00:24:43.720><c> field.</c>

00:24:44.599 --> 00:24:48.279
And<00:24:44.880><c> thus</c><00:24:45.259><c> the</c><00:24:46.039><c> fate</c><00:24:46.279><c> of</c><00:24:46.619><c> Judas</c><00:24:46.880><c> is</c><00:24:47.460><c> sealed.</c>

00:24:48.940 --> 00:24:51.319
We're<00:24:49.279><c> told</c><00:24:49.480><c> that</c><00:24:49.740><c> Judas</c><00:24:50.119><c> repented.</c>

00:24:51.480 --> 00:24:54.619
But<00:24:51.640><c> it</c><00:24:51.799><c> seems</c><00:24:52.019><c> to</c><00:24:52.200><c> me</c><00:24:52.400><c> that</c><00:24:52.839><c> that</c><00:24:53.059><c> word</c><00:24:53.220><c> should</c><00:24:53.380><c> be</c><00:24:53.660><c> understood</c><00:24:54.099><c> in</c><00:24:54.380><c> the</c>

00:24:54.619 --> 00:24:56.740
sense<00:24:54.880><c> that</c><00:24:55.400><c> Judas</c><00:24:55.799><c> was</c><00:24:56.259><c> grieved</c>

00:24:56.740 --> 00:25:00.319
and<00:24:57.079><c> sorrowful</c><00:24:57.660><c> for</c><00:24:57.819><c> what</c><00:24:57.980><c> he</c><00:24:58.240><c> did,</c><00:24:58.920><c> but</c><00:24:59.059><c> he</c><00:24:59.319><c> could</c><00:24:59.619><c> not</c><00:24:59.980><c> and</c>

00:25:00.319 --> 00:25:03.220
did<00:25:00.660><c> not</c><00:25:00.920><c> bring</c><00:25:01.160><c> himself</c><00:25:01.740><c> to</c><00:25:02.279><c> change.</c>

00:25:03.380 --> 00:25:06.160
He<00:25:03.599><c> was</c><00:25:03.940><c> sorry,</c><00:25:04.259><c> but</c><00:25:04.440><c> he</c><00:25:04.660><c> could</c><00:25:04.880><c> not</c><00:25:05.140><c> change.</c>

00:25:06.200 --> 00:25:09.480
Was<00:25:06.420><c> it</c><00:25:06.640><c> inevitable,</c><00:25:07.119><c> we</c><00:25:07.380><c> ask</c><00:25:07.619><c> ourselves,</c><00:25:08.140><c> that</c><00:25:08.660><c> Judas</c><00:25:09.019><c> die</c>

00:25:09.480 --> 00:25:10.880
without<00:25:09.900><c> forgiveness?</c>

00:25:11.400 --> 00:25:13.480
Could<00:25:11.660><c> Jesus</c><00:25:12.039><c> have</c><00:25:12.299><c> forgiven</c><00:25:12.519><c> him?</c>

00:25:13.519 --> 00:25:16.079
Is<00:25:13.880><c> any</c><00:25:14.099><c> sin,</c><00:25:14.339><c> for</c><00:25:14.539><c> that</c><00:25:14.720><c> matter,</c><00:25:15.559><c> unforgivable?</c>

00:25:16.579 --> 00:25:20.779
And<00:25:16.859><c> it</c><00:25:16.980><c> seems</c><00:25:17.259><c> to</c><00:25:17.420><c> me</c><00:25:17.579><c> the</c><00:25:17.720><c> real</c><00:25:18.059><c> tragedy</c><00:25:18.460><c> in</c><00:25:18.619><c> the</c><00:25:18.740><c> case</c><00:25:18.960><c> of</c><00:25:19.259><c> Judas,</c><00:25:20.380><c> by</c>

00:25:20.779 --> 00:25:22.740
contrast<00:25:21.460><c> with</c><00:25:22.019><c> the</c><00:25:22.279><c> case</c><00:25:22.500><c> of</c>

00:25:22.740 --> 00:25:29.019
Peter,<00:25:23.759><c> is</c><00:25:24.359><c> that</c><00:25:24.619><c> Judas</c><00:25:24.920><c> did</c><00:25:25.380><c> not</c><00:25:25.759><c> believe</c><00:25:26.440><c> that</c><00:25:27.220><c> his</c><00:25:27.440><c> sin</c><00:25:27.640><c> could</c><00:25:27.819><c> be</c><00:25:28.079><c> forgiven.</c>

00:25:29.519 --> 00:25:34.319
And<00:25:29.779><c> therefore,</c><00:25:30.880><c> his</c><00:25:31.220><c> sin</c><00:25:31.720><c> was</c><00:25:32.839><c> unforgivable.</c>

00:25:36.339 --> 00:25:41.079
In<00:25:36.519><c> the</c><00:25:36.700><c> sense</c><00:25:36.880><c> in</c><00:25:37.019><c> which</c><00:25:37.220><c> Judas</c><00:25:37.720><c> betrayed</c><00:25:38.500><c> Jesus,</c><00:25:40.799><c> I</c><00:25:40.920><c> think</c>

00:25:41.079 --> 00:25:43.259

00:25:46.039 --> 00:25:48.619
Peter<00:25:46.319><c> denied</c><00:25:46.759><c> Jesus</c><00:25:47.220><c> three</c><00:25:47.539><c> times.</c>

00:25:48.579 --> 00:25:52.339
Judas<00:25:48.880><c> betrayed</c><00:25:49.400><c> Jesus,</c><00:25:50.720><c> yet</c><00:25:50.980><c> Peter</c><00:25:51.259><c> found</c><00:25:51.619><c> forgiveness</c><00:25:52.099><c> and</c>

00:25:52.339 --> 00:25:53.779
Judas<00:25:52.619><c> didn't.</c>

00:25:53.920 --> 00:25:58.079
And<00:25:54.119><c> the</c><00:25:54.240><c> difference,</c><00:25:54.559><c> I</c><00:25:54.640><c> think,</c><00:25:54.880><c> was</c><00:25:55.099><c> not</c><00:25:55.319><c> in</c><00:25:55.740><c> the</c><00:25:57.599><c> character</c>

00:26:03.339 --> 00:26:07.900
Judas<00:26:03.720><c> did</c><00:26:04.119><c> not</c><00:26:04.380><c> believe</c><00:26:04.720><c> that</c><00:26:04.940><c> God,</c><00:26:05.720><c> our</c><00:26:05.960><c> Christ,</c><00:26:07.160><c> whom</c><00:26:07.299><c> perhaps</c><00:26:07.700><c> he</c>

00:26:13.759 --> 00:26:18.579
The<00:26:14.279><c> tragedy,</c><00:26:15.079><c> then,</c><00:26:15.079><c> is</c><00:26:15.279><c> to</c><00:26:15.480><c> see</c><00:26:15.640><c> in</c><00:26:15.819><c> what</c><00:26:16.019><c> Judas</c><00:26:16.299><c> did</c><00:26:16.680><c> the</c><00:26:17.180><c> unforgivable</c><00:26:17.859><c> sin</c><00:26:18.200><c> and</c><00:26:18.339><c> to</c>

Now<00:28:43.960><c> the</c><00:28:44.200><c> second</c><00:28:44.440><c> time</c><00:28:44.720><c> when</c><00:28:45.019><c> Pilate</c><00:28:45.319><c> apparently</c><00:28:45.920><c> is</c><00:28:46.359><c> not</c><00:28:46.599><c> going</c><00:28:46.819><c> to</c>

00:28:47.099 --> 00:28:48.079
cooperate<00:28:47.460><c> with</c><00:28:47.720><c> them</c><00:28:47.799><c> as</c><00:28:47.940><c> they</c>

00:28:48.079 --> 00:28:48.700
thought<00:28:48.259><c> he</c><00:28:48.519><c> would.</c>

00:28:49.079 --> 00:28:50.579
What<00:28:49.240><c> are</c><00:28:49.380><c> the</c><00:28:49.559><c> charges</c><00:28:49.880><c> against</c><00:28:50.180><c> this</c><00:28:50.440><c> man?</c>

00:28:50.640 --> 00:28:52.299
And<00:28:50.779><c> immediately</c><00:28:51.039><c> they're</c><00:28:51.319><c> surprised.</c>

00:28:52.779 --> 00:28:53.960
He's<00:28:53.259><c> a</c><00:28:53.460><c> malefactor.</c>

00:28:54.000 --> 00:28:56.420
We<00:28:54.099><c> wouldn't</c><00:28:54.299><c> have</c><00:28:54.480><c> brought</c><00:28:54.599><c> him</c><00:28:54.759><c> to</c><00:28:54.920><c> you</c><00:28:55.019><c> if</c><00:28:55.119><c> he</c><00:28:55.279><c> weren't</c><00:28:55.400><c> a</c><00:28:55.599><c> criminal.</c>

00:28:57.279 --> 00:29:01.180
Now<00:28:57.759><c> that</c><00:28:58.240><c> doesn't</c><00:28:58.599><c> sound</c><00:28:58.920><c> to</c><00:28:59.079><c> me</c><00:28:59.220><c> like</c><00:28:59.640><c> the</c><00:29:00.240><c> obvious</c><00:29:00.720><c> way</c><00:29:01.039><c> in</c>

00:29:01.180 --> 00:29:02.839
which<00:29:01.339><c> a</c><00:29:01.599><c> trial</c><00:29:01.819><c> would</c><00:29:02.000><c> be</c><00:29:02.240><c> opened,</c><00:29:02.660><c> but</c>

00:29:02.839 --> 00:29:05.960
rather<00:29:03.099><c> there</c><00:29:03.539><c> is</c><00:29:03.880><c> a</c><00:29:04.119><c> hint</c><00:29:04.240><c> of</c><00:29:04.619><c> surprise</c><00:29:05.039><c> there,</c><00:29:05.299><c> as</c><00:29:05.480><c> I</c><00:29:05.720><c> said.</c>

00:29:06.460 --> 00:29:08.339
Why<00:29:06.779><c> the</c><00:29:07.099><c> double</c><00:29:07.400><c> cross,</c><00:29:07.700><c> so</c><00:29:07.920><c> to</c><00:29:08.140><c> speak?</c>

00:29:08.500 --> 00:29:11.660
Why<00:29:08.740><c> did</c><00:29:09.000><c> Pilate</c><00:29:09.339><c> go</c><00:29:09.559><c> back</c><00:29:09.839><c> on</c><00:29:10.000><c> what</c><00:29:10.180><c> he</c><00:29:10.319><c> had</c><00:29:10.539><c> apparently</c><00:29:10.880><c> agreed</c><00:29:11.220><c> to</c><00:29:11.460><c> do?</c>

00:29:11.660 --> 00:29:15.400
And<00:29:12.019><c> now</c><00:29:12.279><c> we</c><00:29:12.519><c> come</c><00:29:12.880><c> to</c><00:29:13.160><c> the</c><00:29:13.339><c> indication,</c><00:29:13.740><c> as</c><00:29:13.880><c> I</c><00:29:14.059><c> mentioned</c><00:29:14.259><c> earlier,</c><00:29:15.099><c> why</c>

00:29:15.400 --> 00:29:17.599
it<00:29:15.619><c> seems</c><00:29:16.019><c> to</c><00:29:16.240><c> me</c><00:29:16.619><c> that</c><00:29:17.140><c> Pilate,</c><00:29:17.460><c> who</c>

00:29:17.599 --> 00:29:20.859
was<00:29:17.880><c> otherwise</c><00:29:18.220><c> a</c><00:29:18.420><c> very</c><00:29:18.839><c> strong</c><00:29:19.140><c> and</c><00:29:19.480><c> forceful</c><00:29:19.859><c> person,</c><00:29:20.619><c> now</c>

00:29:20.859 --> 00:29:23.059
seems<00:29:21.220><c> so</c><00:29:21.700><c> weak</c><00:29:21.859><c> and</c><00:29:22.160><c> indecisive.</c>

00:29:23.059 --> 00:29:26.759
And<00:29:23.279><c> it's</c><00:29:23.480><c> in</c><00:29:23.559><c> Matthew</c><00:29:23.940><c> 27</c><00:29:24.759><c> and</c><00:29:25.099><c> verse</c><00:29:25.359><c> 19.</c>

00:29:28.119 --> 00:29:34.160
A<00:29:28.460><c> little</c><00:29:29.000><c> incident</c><00:29:29.759><c> perhaps</c><00:29:31.640><c> directed</c><00:29:32.920><c> by</c><00:29:33.380><c> the</c><00:29:33.720><c> providence,</c>

00:29:34.299 --> 00:29:36.319
the<00:29:34.539><c> overriding</c><00:29:35.019><c> hand</c><00:29:35.339><c> of</c><00:29:35.519><c> God,</c><00:29:36.119><c> to</c>

00:29:36.319 --> 00:29:40.720
produce<00:29:36.900><c> the</c><00:29:37.359><c> results</c><00:29:37.720><c> of</c><00:29:37.900><c> the</c><00:29:38.119><c> trial</c><00:29:38.460><c> as</c><00:29:38.779><c> it</c><00:29:39.079><c> did</c><00:29:39.380><c> and</c><00:29:39.759><c> to</c><00:29:40.079><c> testify</c><00:29:40.500><c> to</c>

00:29:40.720 --> 00:29:41.640
those<00:29:40.980><c> who</c><00:29:41.099><c> were</c><00:29:41.279><c> witnessing</c>

00:29:41.640 --> 00:29:45.259
and<00:29:42.140><c> to</c><00:29:42.339><c> those</c><00:29:42.559><c> who</c><00:29:42.799><c> read</c><00:29:42.920><c> of</c><00:29:43.059><c> the</c><00:29:43.259><c> trial</c><00:29:43.500><c> ever</c><00:29:43.940><c> after</c><00:29:44.359><c> of</c><00:29:44.920><c> the</c>

00:29:45.259 --> 00:29:46.779
character<00:29:45.680><c> of</c><00:29:46.180><c> that</c><00:29:46.500><c> trial.</c>

00:29:47.200 --> 00:29:51.200
So<00:29:47.420><c> Pilate's</c><00:29:47.859><c> actions</c><00:29:48.119><c> here</c><00:29:48.400><c> become</c><00:29:48.660><c> very</c><00:29:49.160><c> important</c><00:29:49.519><c> to</c><00:29:50.119><c> underline</c><00:29:50.799><c> the</c>

00:29:51.200 --> 00:29:52.700
kind<00:29:51.480><c> of</c><00:29:51.740><c> trial</c><00:29:52.059><c> that</c><00:29:52.460><c> Jesus</c>

00:29:52.700 --> 00:29:53.339
is<00:29:52.980><c> receiving.</c>

00:29:53.700 --> 00:29:55.920
And<00:29:53.859><c> the</c><00:29:54.039><c> indication</c><00:29:54.440><c> of</c><00:29:54.640><c> why</c><00:29:54.839><c> this</c><00:29:55.059><c> happened,</c><00:29:55.519><c> it</c><00:29:55.519><c> seems</c><00:29:55.720><c> to</c>

00:29:55.920 --> 00:29:58.779
me,<00:29:56.420><c> Matthew</c><00:29:56.740><c> 27</c><00:29:57.460><c> and</c><00:29:57.920><c> verse</c><00:29:58.140><c> 19.</c>

00:29:59.079 --> 00:30:02.140
When<00:29:59.220><c> he</c><00:29:59.380><c> was</c><00:29:59.599><c> set</c><00:29:59.799><c> down</c><00:30:00.119><c> on</c><00:30:00.299><c> the</c><00:30:00.500><c> judgment</c><00:30:00.819><c> seat,</c><00:30:01.579><c> his</c><00:30:01.779><c> wife</c>

00:30:02.140 --> 00:30:04.480
sent<00:30:02.460><c> unto</c><00:30:02.779><c> him</c><00:30:03.059><c> saying,</c><00:30:03.599><c> Have</c><00:30:03.940><c> thou</c><00:30:04.180><c> nothing</c>

00:30:04.480 --> 00:30:06.220
to<00:30:04.700><c> do</c><00:30:04.839><c> with</c><00:30:05.059><c> that</c><00:30:05.380><c> just</c><00:30:05.700><c> man?</c>

00:30:06.359 --> 00:30:08.900
For<00:30:06.519><c> I</c><00:30:06.660><c> have</c><00:30:06.859><c> suffered</c><00:30:07.059><c> many</c><00:30:07.339><c> things</c><00:30:07.599><c> this</c><00:30:07.880><c> day</c><00:30:08.200><c> in</c><00:30:08.500><c> a</c><00:30:08.700><c> dream</c>

00:30:08.900 --> 00:30:09.700
because<00:30:09.299><c> of</c><00:30:09.440><c> him.</c>

00:30:09.859 --> 00:30:12.900
And<00:30:10.059><c> if</c><00:30:10.180><c> we</c><00:30:10.279><c> let</c><00:30:10.400><c> our</c><00:30:10.759><c> imaginations</c><00:30:11.559><c> run</c><00:30:12.200><c> a</c><00:30:12.400><c> bit,</c><00:30:12.619><c> we</c><00:30:12.660><c> might</c>

00:30:12.900 --> 00:30:15.420
suppose<00:30:13.539><c> that</c><00:30:14.019><c> Pilate's</c><00:30:14.440><c> wife</c><00:30:14.759><c> had</c><00:30:15.160><c> learned</c>

00:30:15.420 --> 00:30:18.420
something<00:30:15.720><c> of</c><00:30:15.880><c> Jesus,</c><00:30:16.359><c> that</c><00:30:16.559><c> perhaps</c><00:30:16.819><c> through</c><00:30:17.019><c> some</c><00:30:17.259><c> of</c><00:30:17.420><c> her</c>

00:30:22.680 --> 00:30:24.680
of<00:30:22.839><c> the</c><00:30:22.980><c> kind</c><00:30:23.160><c> of</c><00:30:23.359><c> man</c><00:30:23.539><c> he</c><00:30:23.799><c> was,</c><00:30:24.220><c> and</c><00:30:24.440><c> her</c>

00:30:24.680 --> 00:30:27.339
thoughts<00:30:24.920><c> began</c><00:30:25.240><c> to</c><00:30:25.559><c> trouble</c><00:30:25.740><c> her</c><00:30:26.079><c> and</c><00:30:26.420><c> manifest</c><00:30:26.819><c> themselves</c>

in<00:30:27.640><c> dreams,</c><00:30:28.160><c> so</c><00:30:28.480><c> that</c><00:30:28.599><c> she</c><00:30:28.839><c> testified</c>

00:30:29.279 --> 00:30:32.380
to<00:30:29.519><c> Pilate,</c><00:30:30.160><c> be</c><00:30:30.220><c> very</c><00:30:30.619><c> careful</c><00:30:31.039><c> how</c><00:30:31.480><c> you</c><00:30:31.720><c> treat</c><00:30:31.880><c> this</c><00:30:32.160><c> man.</c>

00:30:32.380 --> 00:30:34.140
He's<00:30:32.700><c> more</c><00:30:33.039><c> than</c><00:30:33.180><c> a</c><00:30:33.460><c> common</c><00:30:33.700><c> criminal.</c>

00:30:34.559 --> 00:30:36.480
He<00:30:34.619><c> is</c><00:30:34.819><c> a</c><00:30:34.839><c> very</c><00:30:35.160><c> special</c><00:30:35.500><c> man.</c>

If<00:33:32.339><c> it</c><00:33:32.680><c> were,</c><00:33:33.240><c> then</c><00:33:33.480><c> my</c><00:33:33.779><c> servants</c><00:33:34.099><c> would</c><00:33:34.339><c> fight</c><00:33:34.599><c> like</c><00:33:34.839><c> the</c><00:33:35.039><c> servants</c><00:33:35.279><c> of</c>

00:33:54.000 --> 00:33:56.940

00:33:59.740 --> 00:34:03.039
And<00:33:59.920><c> it</c><00:33:59.980><c> was</c><00:34:00.240><c> utterly</c><00:34:00.640><c> distinct</c><00:34:01.200><c> and</c><00:34:01.539><c> different</c><00:34:01.859><c> from</c><00:34:02.279><c> all</c><00:34:02.740><c> of</c>

00:40:24.019 --> 00:40:26.280

00:40:26.380 --> 00:40:29.519
Pilate<00:40:26.699><c> has</c><00:40:26.980><c> not</c><00:40:27.239><c> been</c><00:40:27.460><c> able</c><00:40:27.659><c> to</c><00:40:28.280><c> evade</c><00:40:28.639><c> his</c><00:40:28.880><c> responsibility.</c>

00:40:29.800 --> 00:40:31.300
He<00:40:29.940><c> must</c><00:40:30.139><c> continue</c><00:40:30.500><c> to</c><00:40:30.699><c> face</c><00:40:30.860><c> up</c><00:40:31.099><c> to</c><00:40:31.199><c> it,</c>

00:40:31.300 --> 00:40:36.300
but<00:40:31.420><c> he</c><00:40:31.760><c> still</c><00:40:32.079><c> tries</c><00:40:32.559><c> to</c><00:40:33.320><c> be</c><00:40:33.679><c> rid</c><00:40:33.840><c> of</c><00:40:34.000><c> Jesus</c><00:40:34.380><c> without</c><00:40:34.739><c> pronouncing</c><00:40:35.300><c> judgment</c><00:40:35.639><c> upon</c><00:40:35.940><c> him.</c>

00:40:36.599 --> 00:40:39.920
And<00:40:36.900><c> so</c><00:40:37.059><c> we</c><00:40:37.239><c> read</c><00:40:37.599><c> in</c><00:40:38.300><c> verse</c><00:40:38.519><c> 13</c><00:40:38.960><c> of</c><00:40:39.099><c> Luke</c><00:40:39.320><c> 23,</c>

00:40:39.920 --> 00:40:41.340
Pilate<00:40:40.659><c> says</c><00:40:40.880><c> unto</c><00:40:41.079><c> them,</c>

00:40:41.519 --> 00:40:44.159
You<00:40:41.699><c> have</c><00:40:41.880><c> brought</c><00:40:42.000><c> this</c><00:40:42.219><c> man</c><00:40:42.440><c> unto</c><00:40:42.639><c> me</c><00:40:42.780><c> as</c><00:40:42.940><c> one</c><00:40:43.119><c> that</c><00:40:43.320><c> perverteth</c><00:40:43.699><c> the</c><00:40:43.880><c> people.</c>

00:40:44.360 --> 00:40:45.820
I<00:40:44.619><c> have</c><00:40:44.800><c> examined</c><00:40:45.119><c> him</c><00:40:45.280><c> before</c><00:40:45.639><c> you.</c>

00:40:45.820 --> 00:40:47.360
I<00:40:45.980><c> found</c><00:40:46.239><c> no</c><00:40:46.579><c> fault</c><00:40:46.840><c> in</c><00:40:47.039><c> him.</c>

00:40:47.699 --> 00:40:50.940
I<00:40:48.039><c> wish</c><00:40:48.260><c> you</c><00:40:48.500><c> would</c><00:40:48.659><c> just</c><00:40:49.119><c> let</c><00:40:49.400><c> me</c><00:40:49.760><c> release</c><00:40:50.179><c> him.</c>

00:40:53.940 --> 00:40:57.280
And<00:40:54.460><c> they</c><00:40:54.719><c> cried</c><00:40:55.059><c> out</c><00:40:55.820><c> once</c><00:40:56.280><c> again,</c><00:40:56.639><c> verse</c><00:40:56.840><c> 18,</c>

00:40:57.420 --> 00:41:00.179
Away<00:40:57.820><c> with</c><00:40:58.000><c> this</c><00:40:58.219><c> man,</c><00:40:58.840><c> give</c><00:40:58.940><c> us</c><00:40:59.139><c> Barabbas</c><00:40:59.599><c> instead,</c>

00:41:00.260 --> 00:41:03.219
who<00:41:00.519><c> for</c><00:41:00.719><c> a</c><00:41:00.840><c> certain</c><00:41:01.039><c> sedition</c><00:41:01.599><c> had</c><00:41:01.960><c> been</c><00:41:02.159><c> cast</c><00:41:02.460><c> into</c><00:41:02.699><c> prison.</c>

00:41:03.619 --> 00:41:05.840
Pilate<00:41:03.920><c> therefore,</c><00:41:04.599><c> willing</c><00:41:04.679><c> to</c><00:41:04.940><c> release</c><00:41:05.219><c> Jesus,</c>

00:41:06.179 --> 00:41:08.059
spoke<00:41:06.400><c> again</c><00:41:06.780><c> to</c><00:41:07.059><c> them.</c>

00:41:11.940 --> 00:41:15.780
But<00:41:12.500><c> they</c><00:41:12.780><c> cried,</c><00:41:13.440><c> saying,</c><00:41:13.659><c> Crucify</c><00:41:14.380><c> him,</c><00:41:14.960><c> crucify</c><00:41:15.460><c> him.</c>

00:41:16.000 --> 00:41:18.039
And<00:41:16.139><c> he</c><00:41:16.260><c> said</c><00:41:16.420><c> unto</c><00:41:16.579><c> them</c><00:41:16.780><c> the</c><00:41:16.980><c> third</c><00:41:17.239><c> time,</c><00:41:17.599><c> Why?</c>

00:41:18.360 --> 00:41:19.619
What<00:41:18.659><c> evil</c><00:41:19.000><c> hath</c><00:41:19.199><c> he</c><00:41:19.400><c> done?</c>

00:41:19.800 --> 00:41:22.260
I<00:41:20.059><c> find</c><00:41:20.360><c> no</c><00:41:20.699><c> cause</c><00:41:21.000><c> of</c><00:41:21.239><c> death</c><00:41:21.440><c> in</c><00:41:21.559><c> him</c><00:41:21.739><c> whatsoever.</c>

00:41:22.539 --> 00:41:25.340
I<00:41:22.719><c> will</c><00:41:22.920><c> therefore</c><00:41:23.300><c> chastise</c><00:41:23.920><c> him</c><00:41:24.219><c> and</c><00:41:24.579><c> let</c><00:41:24.780><c> him</c><00:41:25.000><c> go.</c>

00:41:25.559 --> 00:41:27.320
As<00:41:25.719><c> Brother</c><00:41:26.000><c> Carter</c><00:41:26.300><c> says</c><00:41:26.559><c> in</c><00:41:26.719><c> one</c><00:41:26.960><c> place,</c>

00:41:27.619 --> 00:41:30.840
Pilate<00:41:28.019><c> hoped</c><00:41:28.380><c> that</c><00:41:28.960><c> mangling</c><00:41:29.480><c> an</c><00:41:29.739><c> innocent</c><00:41:30.079><c> man</c><00:41:30.420><c> with</c><00:41:30.639><c> a</c>

00:41:30.840 --> 00:41:32.440
savage<00:41:31.280><c> Roman</c><00:41:31.739><c> scourge</c>

00:41:32.440 --> 00:41:33.860
would<00:41:32.679><c> suffice</c><00:41:33.139><c> as</c><00:41:33.300><c> a</c><00:41:33.480><c> compromise,</c>

00:41:33.940 --> 00:41:36.760
but<00:41:34.139><c> even</c><00:41:34.460><c> that</c><00:41:34.739><c> wasn't</c><00:41:35.019><c> enough</c><00:41:35.380><c> for</c><00:41:35.780><c> the</c><00:41:36.000><c> Jews.</c>

00:41:37.559 --> 00:41:39.280
He<00:41:37.920><c> hoped</c><00:41:38.139><c> that</c><00:41:38.320><c> he</c><00:41:38.380><c> could</c><00:41:38.579><c> release</c><00:41:38.920><c> him,</c>

00:41:39.280 --> 00:41:41.320
but<00:41:39.559><c> it</c><00:41:39.659><c> was</c><00:41:40.019><c> entirely</c><00:41:40.579><c> impossible.</c>

00:41:41.599 --> 00:41:44.320
So<00:41:41.840><c> much</c><00:41:42.059><c> did</c><00:41:42.219><c> the</c><00:41:42.460><c> Jews,</c><00:41:43.000><c> the</c><00:41:43.159><c> Jewish</c><00:41:43.380><c> leaders,</c><00:41:43.840><c> press</c><00:41:44.019><c> down</c>

00:41:44.320 --> 00:41:44.940
upon<00:41:44.539><c> him.</c>

00:41:45.239 --> 00:41:49.139
John<00:41:45.559><c> 19,</c><00:41:47.139><c> then,</c><00:41:47.639><c> at</c><00:41:47.880><c> verse</c><00:41:48.119><c> 1.</c>

00:41:49.300 --> 00:41:52.559
So<00:41:49.460><c> Pilate</c><00:41:49.760><c> took</c><00:41:50.039><c> Jesus</c><00:41:50.480><c> and</c><00:41:50.940><c> scourged</c><00:41:51.400><c> him,</c>

00:41:53.280 --> 00:41:55.500
and<00:41:53.360><c> the</c><00:41:53.559><c> soldiers</c><00:41:53.920><c> plaited</c><00:41:54.320><c> a</c><00:41:54.420><c> crown</c><00:41:54.639><c> of</c><00:41:54.860><c> thorns</c><00:41:55.119><c> and</c><00:41:55.260><c> put</c><00:41:55.420><c> it</c>

00:41:55.500 --> 00:41:56.820
on<00:41:55.619><c> his</c><00:41:55.860><c> head.</c>

00:41:56.860 --> 00:41:59.719
And<00:41:56.960><c> they</c><00:41:57.079><c> put</c><00:41:57.219><c> on</c><00:41:57.380><c> him</c><00:41:57.559><c> a</c><00:41:57.699><c> purple</c><00:41:57.980><c> robe</c><00:41:58.260><c> and</c><00:41:58.519><c> said,</c><00:41:59.079><c> Hail,</c><00:41:59.420><c> King</c><00:41:59.599><c> of</c>

00:41:59.719 --> 00:42:00.119
the<00:41:59.880><c> Jews!</c>

00:42:00.139 --> 00:42:01.559
And<00:42:00.260><c> they</c><00:42:00.500><c> smote</c><00:42:00.639><c> him</c><00:42:00.780><c> with</c><00:42:00.920><c> their</c><00:42:01.099><c> hands.</c>

00:42:01.980 --> 00:42:04.300
Pilate<00:42:02.320><c> therefore</c><00:42:02.659><c> went</c><00:42:02.880><c> forth</c><00:42:03.139><c> again</c><00:42:03.500><c> and</c><00:42:03.619><c> said</c><00:42:03.780><c> unto</c><00:42:03.960><c> them,</c>

00:42:04.519 --> 00:42:06.360
Behold,<00:42:04.980><c> I</c><00:42:05.119><c> have</c><00:42:05.239><c> brought</c><00:42:05.360><c> him</c><00:42:05.619><c> forth</c><00:42:05.820><c> to</c><00:42:06.019><c> you,</c>

00:42:06.480 --> 00:42:09.179
that<00:42:06.639><c> ye</c><00:42:06.840><c> may</c><00:42:06.980><c> know</c><00:42:07.219><c> that</c><00:42:07.380><c> I</c><00:42:07.519><c> have</c><00:42:07.760><c> found</c><00:42:08.019><c> no</c><00:42:08.440><c> fault</c><00:42:08.659><c> in</c><00:42:08.900><c> him.</c>

00:42:09.280 --> 00:42:12.159
Then<00:42:09.880><c> came</c><00:42:10.159><c> Jesus</c><00:42:10.559><c> forth</c><00:42:10.800><c> wearing</c><00:42:11.099><c> the</c><00:42:11.300><c> crown</c><00:42:11.500><c> of</c><00:42:11.760><c> thorns</c><00:42:12.000><c> and</c>
