DAVEH: A trumped up charge.......
"And Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests and the rulers and the
people, Said unto them, Ye have brought this man unto me, as one that peverteth the
people: and, behold, I, having examined him before you, have found no fault in this man
touching those those things whereof ye accuse him: No, nor yet Herod: for I sent you
to him, and, lo, nothing worth of death is done unto him." Lk 23:13-15
.......and.......]
"And he said unto them the third time, Why, what evil hath he done? I have found no
cause of death in him:....." vs 22
.........then, they released Barnabas, who HAD BEEN CONVICTED OF SEDITION........
"And he released unto them him that for sedition and murder was cast into
prison,......" vs 25

DAVEH: Because Satan motivated them to do so in an effort to thwart the Plan of
Salvation.

DAVEH: Yes, I do.
Have you not preached on the street in a peaceful non threatening manner, and not
had some whacko want to do physical harm to you?
