Blaine:
Do you
suppose these men who paid Judas 30 peices of silver
(the price of
a slave) were aware, along with Judas, that this was
the Messiah
they were doing away with? There is evidence they were.
Judy:
Where is this evidence? I just
showed from 1 Corinthians above
that neither Satan nor the people he used in
executing his supposed
plan knew what they were about.
**Blaine: I
doubt they understood fully what the results of killing the Son of God
would mean--but that they knew who he was there is little doubt. See the
parable of the laborers in the vineyard, Matthew 21:33-45, wherein the
laborers first killed the servants of the Lord of the vineyard, then killed
the son, or, as he was called, the heir. The wicked laborers said,
""This is the heir, come, let us kill him, and seize on his
inheritance." And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and
slew him. . . . And when the chief priests and
Pharisees had heard his parables, they perceived that he spoke of
them.
