I would like to examine the political aspect of the trials and curcifiction of Jesus. It will be interesting to find out why the Jewish leaders and scholars didn't have the power or authorty to deal with Jesus on their own. Plus, it will be amazing to find out just how they tricked the Romans into doing harm to Jesus for them. Why did they have to hide what they were doing? Were they doing their job as they believed it to be or were they just scared and jealous? Were they ignoring what they were suppost to be doing? Who was this Pilate and why did the Jews have to bring Jesus to him? Was Pilate in his legal rights to curcify Jesus? Why was the rebel released? Who tricked the crowd and why could Pilate not stop this farcity.
These are a few things I am working on. I don't know if I will be able to answer all of these questions but I am working to that end. Some of these questions I have asked myself over and over since childhood, now I have a chance to answer them. To me the trials and crucifiction seem to be rigged. I want to know why and how and I believe that chapters 14-15 of Mark hold the keys.
