I am not commending you, but I want to Tet the sincerity of your love by comparing it with the earnestness of others. For you know that grace of our lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he become poor, so the that you though his poverty might become rich.
And here is my advice about what is best for you in this matter, last year you were the first not only to give but also to have the desire to do so. For if the willingness is there, the gift is acceptable according to what one has not according to what to does not have.
Our desire is not that others might be relieved while you are hard pressed but that there might be equality, At the present time your plenty will supply what they need, so that in turn their plenty will supply what you need then there will be equality as it is written. He who gathered much did not have too much, and he who gathered little did not have too little
TAKEN BEFORE HEROD. Pilate hoped that some means might be found to save Jesus. And had. Had him sent to Herod.Herod Antipas was a man of great debauchery, and apparently our Lord had respect for him, for he refused to answer even a syllable to Herod’s question. Herod was incredibly happy to see Jesus. undoubtedly his conscience had troubled him ever since he had john the Baptist be headed. He hoped the see some miracle that Jeus would do, but Jeus maintained a dignified silence. When Herod could get nothing out of Jeus, he had him arrayed in a brightly colored robe in mockery and sent him back to palate with a letter of flattery. This healed an old feud between the two men.
THE FINAL TRIAL . Jesus was dragged through the troughed, narrow streets, amid the jeering, raging multitudes for the sixth and final trial which was the most agonizing phas of the terrible inquisition.
Pilate was quite determined to find some means of sitting jeus free. He had tried by sending him to herod. Pilate tried to wash away his guilt by washing his hands and saying ‘ Iam innocent of the blood of this just person,see ye to it. However, pilate could not escap the responsibility of his decision.Later he paid the price by soon being banished to gaul and there dryin in suicide. To satisty the mob, pilate released Barabbas, a robber,murderer and leader of insurrection, and delivered Jesus to be crucified
