In this episode, we start chapter 19 out of the Book of John; specifically, verses 1-15.  Pilate is still not convinced Jesus is guilty of anything, but to appease the Jewish religious leaders and the mob they have gathered, Pilate has Jesus beaten with a whip that has rocks, bones, and nails at the end of its tails. This whip is used to inflict maximum pain.  The Roman soldiers also put a crown made out of sharp thorns on Jesus' head. The crown pierces Jesus' head. They also slap Jesus around.  But this is not enough for the Jewish religious leaders and the mob. They demand that Jesus be crucified.  Crucifixion is a sadistic process that is not only agonizing, but also designed to stretch pain and embarrassment into a days-long ordeal.  Pilate wants to keep the peace, so he orders Jesus crucified. You can listen to past and future episodes of this podcast and The God Revelation Podcast and the Holy Spirit Podcast on our website  https://renewyourmindministries.org/, or on any podcast platform such as Amazon Alexa, Audible, Apple/Itunes Podcasts, Spotify, iheart, Google Podcasts, & etc. If you need prayer, you can email us at renewyourmindm@gmail.com, or write us at Renew Your Mind Ministries, P.O.
