Notice here. They put a rag around His face, and they hit Him on the head. Said, “Now, if You’re a prophet, tell us who hit You. We’ll believe You then.” Jesus never opened His mouth. He didn’t clown for people. Yet He knowed the woman at the well where here sin was. He knowed where Nathanael was when he was under the fig tree, what had happened. He knowed where a fish was had a coin in his mouth. He perceived the thoughts of the people. Is that right? But when it come to clowning for somebody, no, no, He didn’t do that. He only done what the Father told Him. Then they pinned Him on a cross. And here come the holy, renown scholars of the day. Let that soak in. Scholars, holy, renown, without a blemish, teachers, high-ups, come and said, before Him said, “Now, we’ll give You a proposition in this wise, “You come down off the cross and we’ll accept You as the Messiah.” Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, they don’t even know what they’re doing.” There…He could’ve come off of there. I believe that’s an Angel setting in every bush, saying, “Lord just point Your finger; we’ll change this scene here.” They said, “He saved others, but Himself He can’t save.” The greatest comment was ever give Him, if He save Hisself, He couldn’t save others. He had to give Hisself to save others. But how little did they know it: blind leading the blind (See?), the same spirit.
