John 19:11
10 So Pilate said to Him, "You do not speak to me? Do You not know that I have power to release You, and I have power to crucify You?" 11
Jesus answered, Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin. 12
See Judas' betrayal and Jesus "arrest" in the Garden. John 18. Jesus was not "arrested" at all; He willingly gave Himself up.
As Ek said, that was His whole purpose in coming and for Scripture to be fulfilled.
18:11 Then He asked them again, "Whom are you seeking?" And they said, "Jesus of Nazareth." Jesus answered, "I have told you that I am He. Therefore, if you seek Me, let these go their way," that the saying might be fulfilled which He spoke, "Of those whom You gave Me I have lost none."
Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it and struck the high priest's servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus. So Jesus said to Peter, "Put your sword into the sheath. Shall I not drink the cup which My Father has given Me?"
Jesus went willingly.
Scary to think one could actually have that kind of power/mind control...
LoL, not shown in this particular trailer, the guy with the gun, she looks at it a second later and all the bullets just fall out and onto the floor. Priceless.
Reading the rest of the passage, in context, we see that when Jesus was being arrested in the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus told Peter to put down his sword and said...
Do you think I cannot call on my Father, and he will at once put at my disposal more than twelve legions of angels? But how then would the scriptures be fulfilled that say it must happen in this way (Matthew 26:52-54)?
Jesus had everything to do with God, in perfect obedience to the Father's will (Matt. 26:42). For in the incarnation, Jesus the eternal Son of God, set aside His independent use of His divine attributes and took on human form in humble obedience to the Father's will, in accomplishing our salvation at the cross, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father (Philippians 2:6-11).
God bless!
As to your question regarding the existence of Jesus and Pilate, I refer you to my past blog titled "Archaeology and the Bible," which you will find on my blog list.
God bless!
