shorter story of jesus part two

more background around death, in a shorter story.

if it seems long? still actually 80 words here about legs, summarized 176 words so shorter. the first section about crucify seemed long? it summarized 374 words in around 165 words so shorter by less than half both times. Part 2 also summarized the bringing to the cross, summarizing 1480 words in only 450 words, less than 1/3 and a thousand less words to read to save you time.

The soldiers found that Jesus was already dead, so they only broke the legs of the robbers but did not break his legs. Instead, one of the soldiers pierced Jesus’ side with a spear. blood and water flowed out. The man who saw [SAW but not a century later] it has given testimony [19.35]. These things happened and fulfilled scriptures: “Not one of his bones will be broken,” and, as another scripture says, “They will look on the one they have pierced.” later they buried jesus.

part 2, less important but relevant: how did they get him on a cross? who were this they? did he even claim he could save himself? was he arrested publicly?

STORY: "when Tiberius [luke 3.1] was emperor caesar, and when the governor was Pilate, near the kidron valley [j18.1-36 summarized here very briefly], judas led roman soldiers, holding torches and lanterns."

note: this indicated night and indicated many jews loved jesus, how? the need to arrest at night among trees, so many loved jesus so much that the leaders expected a public protest even riot if they saw their beloved jesus get arrested=that was the NEED to arrest in the trees at night with torches. if "everyone all jews hated jesus" as i heard some ignorance and some external "dogma canon" that differed from the book, then no need to go with lanterns, simply grab in public. the story was with lanterns.

"roman soldiers arrested jesus. soon, [jew] high priest questioned jesus [j18.19-28]. the roman governor questioned jesus [j18.28-36] who said "my kingdom is not this world" [meaning no threat to emperor tiberius.] The jew leaders "could not" kill sinners in john 18.31. the jew leaders wanted to kill him BECAUSE "because he claimed to be the son of god" [j19.7, preserving this 

detail, but "could not" kill him [j18.31].

NOTE: if believe gospel, jews did not kill jesus because they could not, but maybe denying this detail fits a certain mindset?

"again pilate questioned jesus who stayed silent [j19.9]. after another question, jesus agreed you can kill me, only for God's plan, but i could save myself [j19.11]". the choice was in pilate's power... he could free jesus or not. everyone waited for the governor order...

suspense?

no one could kill jesus unless governor decided and ordered soldiers.

"he gave the order to "soldiers" [j19.16] soldiers crucified jesus in john 19.23"

soldiers? 

only IF believe the book, but those inciting pogroms "stretched the truth a bit" not matching their own book. if anyone noticed the difference, still hatred was stronger than logic. i mean think about the situation: church leader said "we love jesus and the jews killed our jesus" and the crowd is angry! and one nerd said "sir, dont you mean romans? it even said here..." what would they do to such a nerd? and others less nerdy, who can sense the environment knew to be silent.

note: this summarized brifly [because must not delay the main part, defined in cor. and romans, so just summary of chapter 18.1 to 19.23 selecting and emphasizing the details based on what i saw about this generation. still in the source are more details. the continuation is the more important part in part one.

next chapter about birth of jesus less important for atonement so chapter 3.
