John the Baptist
*******************************
Jesus the Christ, the Son of God,
and Pontius Pilate
Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged him. And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and they put on him a purple robe, and said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they smote him with their hands. Pilate therefore went forth again, and saith unto them, Behold, I bring him forth to you, that ye may know that I find no fault in him. Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And Pilate saith unto them, Behold the man!-John 19:1-5***Less than 33 1/2 years after John the Baptist and Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, were born, John the Baptist was imprisoned and beheaded and Jesus was betrayed and arrested. In the presence of Caiaphas the high priest, Jesus affirmed himself to be the Christ, the Son of God. The next morning, Jesus was taken to Pontius Pilate, the governor of Judea for the Roman Empire, and Pilate asked Jesus if Jesus was the king of the Jews. Jesus affirmatively answered, and was flogged and handed over to be crucified. Pilate sent Jesus to Herod Antipas, the governor of Galilee for the Roman Empire. Herod Antipas questioned Jesus and sent Jesus back to Pilate. Jesus was taken to the Praetorium, the governor's residence in Jerusalem, and soldiers took off the garments Jesus was wearing and dressed Jesus in the semblance of a king. The soldiers braided thorns together and placed the platted crown on Jesus and draped the outer cloak of a Roman soldier upon Jesus. For a scepter, they put a staff in the right hand of Jesus the Christ.-Genesis 11:26-35:29, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, 6:1-81, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26
