DEATH & RESURRECTION OF JESUS, THE KING
Matthew 27
Jesus Stands Trial Before Pilate v. 11-14
Meanwhile Jesus stood before the governor (Pilate), and the governor asked him, "Are you the king of the Jews?"
"Yes, it is as you say," Jesus replied.
When he was accused by the chief priest and the elders, he gave no answer. Then Pilate asked him, "Don't you hear the testimony they are bringing against you?" But Jesus made no reply, not even to a single charge-to the great amazement of the governor.
Jesus' silence fulfilled the word of the prophet, "He was oppressed and afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth; he was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is silent, so he did not open his mouth" (Isaiah 53:7). I love how God connects everything in Scripture, because He is the same God, yesterday, today and forever more.
Remember what Jesus did say, in answering Pilates question: "Are you the king of the Jews?"
"Yes, it is as you say," Jesus replied.
"THAT AT THE NAME OF JESUS EVERY KNEE SHOULD BOW, IN HEAVEN AND ON EARTH AND IN THE EARTH, AND EVERY TONGUE CONFESS THAT JESUS CHRIST IS LORD, TO THE GLORY OF GOD THE FATHER." Philippians 2:10-11
