Yahshua is Crucified and Rises Luke 23, Matthew 27-28 After being held at Caiaphas’ house, Yahshua was brought to Pilate. The people accused Him. Pilate could not find any blame in Yahshua, but they said He was guilty. So He was brought before Herod. Herod asked Him many questions, but Yahshua said nothing. He was mocked and insulted and Herod’s soldiers put garments of purple on Him and a crown of thorns. He was sent back to Pilate. Pilate and Herod could not find any charges against Him. Pilate was going to release Him. They were to release one prisoner at the Feast. The people shouted loudly to take Yahshua and release Barabbas to them. Barabbas was thrown into prison for evil that happened in the city. Yahshua was led away and given a cross beam to carry. Many people followed. Coming with them were two others to be killed for doing evil. They came to a place to crucify Him along with the other two men. One was on His left and one was on His right. Yahshua asked the Father to forgive them for they did not know what they were doing. They cast lots for His garments. The people stood by and watched. The soldiers mocked Him and offered Him vinegar. They hung a sign above him that said, This is the king of the Jews. One of the criminals hanging beside Yahshua told Him to save Himself. The other criminal told him he was not even afraid of Yahweh and they deserved to be punished. He asked Yahshua to remember him when He came in His kingdom. Yahshua said to him, Truly, today, I say to you, you will be with Me in Paradise. In the sixth hour, darkness came over the land until the ninth hour. The sun became dark and the veil of the sanctuary was torn in the middle. Yahshua cried with a loud voice, Father, “into Your hands I place My spirit.” He breathed out the spirit. Joseph asked Pilate for Yahshua’s body. His body was taken down, wrapped in linen cloth and placed in a tomb of hewn rock. A large stone was rolled in front of the tomb. The next day the priests and Pharisees went before Pilate and told him that Yahshua said He would rise in three days. They said someone will steal His body and say that He arose. So Pilate allowed them to place guards at the tomb. After the Sabbaths, at the dawning into the first of the Sabbaths (feast of first fruits), the two Miriams came to the grave. There was a great earthquake. A cherub of Yahweh rolled away the stone and was sitting on it. The guards feared greatly. The cherub said to the women, You must not fear, for I know that you seek Yahshua who has been crucified. He is not here, for He was raised, as He said. Come see the place where He was lying. And going quickly say to His disciples that He was raised from the dead. And behold! He goes before you into Galilee. You will see Him there. Behold! I told you.
