But the best and simplest is supplied by Christ Himself in Mark 14:49 - prophetic fulfillment. I imagine the valuable insight will be mined from a study answering the question: "Why and how did the Scripture foretell this betrayal and what is the benefit in its fulfillment?"

And maybe because the crowds kept following him. <br />But you pose a good question. What if I'm wrong? What if it was more to humiliate him and gain credibility on their side that they could say one of His own turned him in. Or what if it was really just to test Judas? <br />It seems to me that so many of these questions have multi-faceted answers..... like now Jesus could really feel the pain of being betrayed by someone very close, like family, who you'd basically lived with and loved. He knows our pain!Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08584422091703860191noreply@blogger.com
