Weareunity,
Thanks for bringing attention to this. In regards to John 18:36-19.23, I am drawn to these verses:
V. 37…..”Jesus answered…I am a king……”
19:7….”we have a law, and according to that law he must die”…..’the law brings death’(from other scriptures). That is the out for Jews…..it was the law that killed Jesus. They accepted the authority of the man made law.
19:22….”Pilate…what I have written….” Pilate asserted his authority and no one dared remove the sign. He had found no fault in Jesus and, for me, in essence(after the mention of truth) was recognizing the truth of Jesus.
