Matthew 27- The Crucifixion of Jesus

The Crucifixion of Jesus

Matthew 27 is all about what happens immediately after Judas sold Jesus out and Peter denied knowing Jesus. Verse 23, the leader, Pilate, responded to the mob that wanted Jesus crucified.He asked why they wanted to crucify him, but they could not give an answer. Jesus had done nothing wrong. People were angry at what Jesus represented, faulty leadership in the church. They did not want to believe that he was the Son of God. Their anger and viciousness led them astray. Yet, Jesus knew this was coming. His death fulfilled many prophecies (click here to read more). In Isaiah 53:4-6 we see the prophecy of Jesus's being beaten and crushed for our sins.

We have to understand that the life and death of Jesus fulfilled various prophesies from the church falling apart (literally and figuratively) to being risen three days later. They tried to stop it from happening in verses 62-66, but no matter what, YOU CANNOT STOP GOD!
