I had to research for myself this "myth" claimed by the hans "jewboy"
anderson that Christ lead an insurrection of 12 divisions under 12
commanders (a thinly veiled reference to the Apostles) against the
Romans. Guess what? Christ NEVER lead any such action against the
Romans, thus forcing Pontius Pilate to crucify Christ.
FYI, Candy Cunt, jewboy DID lie!!
According to the canonical Christian Gospels, Pilate presided at the
trial of Jesus and, despite stating that he personally found him not
guilty of a crime meriting death, sentenced him to be crucified. Pilate
is thus a pivotal character in the New Testament accounts of Jesus.
According to the New Testament, Jesus was brought to Pilate by the
Sanhedrin, who had arrested Jesus and questioned him themselves. The
Sanhedrin had, according to the Gospels, only been given answers by Jesus
that they considered blasphemous pursuant to Mosaic law, which was
unlikely to be deemed a capital offense by Pilate interpreting Roman law.
The Gospel of Luke records that members of the Sanhedrin then took Jesus
before Pilate where they accused him of sedition against Rome by opposing
the payment of taxes to Caesar and calling himself a king. Fomenting tax
resistance was a capital offense. Pilate was responsible for imperial tax
collections in Judaea. Jesus had asked the tax collector Levi, at work in
his tax booth in Capernaum, to quit his post. Jesus also appears to have
influenced Zacchaeus, "a chief tax collector" in Jericho, which is in
Pilate's tax jurisdiction, to resign. Pilate's main question to Jesus was
whether he considered himself to be the King of the Jews in an attempt to
assess him as a potential political threat. Mark in the NIV translation
states: "Are you the king of the Jews?" asked Pilate. "It is as you say",
Jesus replied. However, quite a number of other translations render
Jesus' reply as variations of the phrase: "Thou sayest it." (King James
Version, Mark 15:2); "So you say". (Mark 15:2). Whatever degree of
confirmation modern interpreters would derive from this answer of Jesus,
according to the New Testament, it was not enough for Pilate to view
Jesus as a real political threat. The chief priests began hurling
accusations toward Jesus, yet he remained silent. Pilate asked him why he
did not respond to the many charges, and Jesus remained silent, so Pilate
was "astonished".
Pilate appears to have been reluctant to allow the crucifixion of Jesus,
finding no fault with him. According to Matthew 27:19, even Pilate's wife
spoke to him on Jesus' behalf. According to the gospels, it was the
custom of the Roman governor to release one prisoner at Passover, and
Pilate brought out Barabbas, identified by Matthew as a "notorious
prisoner" and by Mark as a murderer, and told the crowd to choose between
releasing Barabbas or Jesus as per the custom, in the hopes of getting
them to request the release of Jesus. However, the crowd demanded the
release of Barabbas and said of Jesus, "Crucify him!" In Matthew, Pilate
responds, "Why? What evil has he done?" The crowd continued shouting,
"Crucify him!"
Pilate ordered a sign posted above Jesus on the cross stating "Jesus of
Nazareth, The King of the Jews" to give public notice of the legal charge
against him for his crucifixion. The chief priests protested that the
public charge on the sign should read that Jesus claimed to be King of
the Jews. Pilate refused to change the posted charge, saying "What I have
written, I have written." ("Quod scripsi, scripsi"). This may have been
to emphasize Rome's supremacy in crucifying a Jewish king; it is likely,
though, that Pilate was offended by the Jewish leaders using him as a
catspaw and thus compelling him to sentence Jesus to death contrary to
his own will.
The Gospel of Luke also reports that such questions were asked of Jesus;
in Luke's case it being the priests that repeatedly accused him, though
Luke states that Jesus remained silent to such inquisition, causing
Pilate to hand Jesus over to the jurisdiction of Herod Antipas, namely
Galilee which was not part of Roman Judea. Although initially excited
with curiosity at meeting Jesus, of whom he had heard much, Herod
(according to Luke) ended up mocking Jesus and so sent him back to
Pilate. This intermediate episode with Herod is not reported by the other
Gospels, which appear to present a continuous and singular trial in front
of Pilate. Luke, however, made further reference to this involvement of
Herod along with Pilate in Jesus' execution and linked it with the
prophecy about the Messianic King found in Psalm 2, as we can read in
Luke's other book, Acts 4:24-28. This could explain why he counted this
episode important.
Compared with the synoptic gospels, the Gospel of John gives more detail
about that dialogue taking place between Jesus and Pilate. In John, Jesus
seems to confirm the fact of his kingship, although immediately
explaining, that his "kingdom" was "not of this world"; of far greater
importance for the followers of Christ is his own definition of the goal
of his ministry on earth at the time. According to Jesus, as we find it
written in John 18:37, Jesus thus describes his mission: "[I] came into
the world...to bear witness to the truth; and all who are on the side of
truth listen to my voice", to which Pilate famously replied, "What is
truth?" ("Quid est veritas?") (John 18:38)
Whatever it be that some modern critics want to deduce from those
differences, the end result was the same for Jesus and Pilate, as it was
in all the other three Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke). In the same chapter
of John 18 verse 38 (King James Version, compare with other versions) the
conclusion Pilate made from this interrogation was: "I find in him no
fault at all".
Pilate agrees to condemn Jesus to crucifixion, after the Jewish leaders
explained to him that Jesus presented a threat to Roman occupation
through his claim to the throne of King David as King of Israel in the
royal line of David. The crowd in Pilate's courtyard, according to Mark's
gospel, were incited by the chief priests to shout against Jesus. The
Gospel of Matthew adds that before condemning Jesus to death, Pilate
washes his hands with water in front of the crowd, saying, "I am innocent
of this man's blood; see you to it."
Responsibility for Jesus' death:
In all gospel accounts, Pilate is reluctant to condemn Jesus, but is
eventually forced to give in when the crowd becomes unruly and the Jewish
leaders remind him that Jesus' claim to be king is a challenge to Roman
rule and to the Roman deification of Caesar. Roman magistrates had wide
discretion in executing their tasks, and some question whether Pilate
would have been so captive to the demands of the crowd. Pilate was later
recalled to Rome for his harsh treatment of the Jews.
With the Edict of Milan in AD 313, the state-sponsored persecution of
Christians came to an end, and Christianity became officially tolerated
as one of the religions of the Roman Empire. Afterwards, in 325, the
First Ecumenical Council at Nicaea promulgated a creed which was amended
at the subsequent First Council of Constantinople in 381. The Nicene
Creed incorporated for the first time the clause was crucified under
Pontius Pilate (which had already been long established in the Old Roman
Symbol, an ancient form of the Apostles' Creed dating as far back as the
2nd century AD) in a creed that was intended to be authoritative for all
Christians in the Roman Empire.
Pilate's reluctance to execute Jesus in the gospels has been seen by
Anchor Bible Dictionary and critical scholars as reflecting the authors'
agenda. It has thus been argued that gospel accounts place the blame on
the Jews, not on Rome, in line with the authors' alleged goal of making
peace with the Roman Empire and vilifying the Jews (the leadership, the
priest, etc., as is justifiably so!).
So, Candy Cunt, who is the false witness? Hans "jewboy" Anderson? or! The
Entire Scholar Academia?!!
BTW, the revolt (there were three) which jewboy accredited Jesus for? DID
NOT OCCURR for another 100 years AFTER the Crucifixion of Christ!!
Still, I wonder where jewboy has gone? Knowing he lied to all within the
group, I should say after his big, fat, rat nose fell off, he is standing
at the crossroads where, according to jewboy, he must be hiding on the
same lonely road where Christ was executed. You know, standing within the
plethora of all that jewish stink and revisionist history....
Biker...Always in your face!!!
