come out seeing the heavens open up and a voice affirming him - you
are my son, my beloved, with you I am well pleased.

TODAY'S GOSPEL
LESSON
o
Jesus is brought
in front of Pilate and we hear the title King of the Jews repeated
over and over again
o
Jesus is accused
as "King of the Jews" and with his silent reply, Pilate is amazed
o
Jesus is rejected
as King of the Jews as the crowd chooses Barabbas over Jesus. They
yell out Crucify, Crucify! he is flogged and handed over to be
crucified
o
OH THE places he
will go Jesus is mocked as King of the Jews by the soldiers. They
place a crown of thorns on his head, placed purple cloths, the color
of royalty, on him and mocked him. Leading him to his crucifixion
