What Jesus said about his pending death

Remark

Scripture
|
From
|
|
He told his followers, “No one takes my life from me, but I willingly
lay it down.
|
No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have
authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This command I
received from my Father.
|
John 10:18
|
|
He said that he could have called on angelic troops to rescue him,
but he chose not to.
|
Do you think I cannot call on my Father, and he will at once put at
my disposal more than twelve legions of angels?
|
Matt 26:53
|
|
He silently soaked up blows and abuse from people, priests and
soldiers.
|
They spit on him, and took the staff and struck him on the head again
and again.
|
Matt 27:30
|
|
And when the Roman governor Pilate asked him to defend himself, Jesus
remained silent – in spite of knowing that only Pilate could grant his
freedom.
|
When he was accused by the chief priests and the elders, he gave no
answer. Then Pilate asked him, “Don’t you hear the testimony they are
bringing against you?” But Jesus made no reply, not even to a single
charge—to the great amazement of the governor.
|
Matt 27:12-14
|
|
Jesus was in such control of his death that the Gospel writers even
go so far as to tell us that, at the time of his death - “He gave up his
spirit.”
|
And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his
spirit.
|
Matt 27:50
