Jesus was 'FOR THE JEWISH WORKING PEOPLE...... HIS PEOPLE........ that is what both he and the Baptist campaigned for.
You coudn't be more wrong if you tried.
Just For The Record, there's this... from Matthew, not John. And... being persuaded to do murder still makes you guilty of murder.
Matthew 27
20 "But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.
21 The governor answered and said unto them, Whether of the twain will ye that I release unto you? They said, Barabbas.
22 Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ? They all say unto him, Let him be crucified.
23 And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified.
24 When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye to it.
25 Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children."
These are the same people of whom John wrote. They rejected Him in spades... out of the fulness of their heart.
In Matthew, chapter 23, Jesus says their house is left unto them desolate... for that very reason... "ye would not".
In Matthew 15, Jesus says He was sent... not to the Southern tribes called Judah... but to the Northern Tribes called Israel since the time of Solomon's son: the Divided Kingdom is still in place.
24 But He answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
About the Southern tribes called Judah, Jesus says they still don't know they need a physician, or that they need salvation. John, whose witness by the Holy Spirit you have blasphemed, says Jesus came unto His own and His own received Him not. The Parables in Matthew prove that to be true.
What you don't know about the Bible could fill a book, oldbadger. And now, you're guilty of blaspheming the Holy Spirit. Is your obvious ignorance enough to get you out of the condemnation that is your just reward?
