The Jesus of Nazareth

Pilate declares himself to be innocent in the very act of showing that he too now is guilty of innocent blood. The crowds who are this, they're misinformed, aren't they? One interesting thing, and just because I've heard it repeated so many times, it's just good to put this one to rest. Many people think that this is the same crowds that were hailing Jesus as Messiah. They fully think Jesus is a threat and his blood needs to be shed. And so here we have a portrait of a group of people who, out of their interests, forgot and country, think it's absolutely necessary that blood be shed.
