Jesus was sentenced to death because He claimed to be God.
Mat 26:63-66 KJV ... And the high priest .. said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God. [v. 64] Jesus saith unto him, [basically, 'Yes'] [v. 65] Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard his blasphemy. [v. 66] What think ye? They ed and said, He is guilty of death.
Christ was regarded by many as a prophet; for example, when He brought the dead boy back to life amid other miracles
Luk 7:16 ... they glorified God, saying, That agreat prophet is risen up among us; and, That God hath visited his people.
Joh 6:14 Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth that prophet that should come into the world.
The Samaritan woman regarded Jesus at first as a prophet:-
Joh 4:19 The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.
The Pharisees knew Jesus was from Nazareth in Galilee, but they knew that Scripture said the Messiah had to be a descendant of David's and be born in Bethlehem, so He couldn't be the Messiah as claimed, and certainly not a prophet, Joh 7:40 Many of the people therefore, when they heard this saying, said, Of a truth this is the Prophet. Joh 7:41 Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, Shall Christ come out of Galilee? Joh 7:42 Hath not the scripture said, That Christ cometh of the seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was? Joh 7:52 They ed and said unto him, Art thou also of Galilee? Search, and look : for out of Galilee ariseth no prophet.
The Scriptural passage they had in mind was Micah chapter 5 verse 2, which says:
Mic 5:2 But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.
Another Old Testament verse said that a prophet found guilty of speaking without God's permission was to die:- Deu 18:20 But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my [ie God's] name, which I [ie the High priest (Caiaphas) as God's representative] have not commanded him to speak, ... eventhat prophet shall die.
This is not the only verse that could have been used - there are others. The High Priest could easily have twisted this verse to give a scriptural reason for seeking the death penalty, but there is no mention in any of the four Gospels of this being done. (Then again, a "kangaroo court" doesn't need evidence, proof, or justification anyway; a definition of a kangaroo court: "We'll give you a fair trial and then we'll hang you anyway.")
No. According to scripture, John the Baptist knew Jesus was messiah.
There is no passage of scripture that says that
Isaiah 11 is a passage in the Bible that is often interpreted as a prophecy about Jesus, the Messiah.
In Luke 19:41-44, Jesus weeps over Jerusalem, foreseeing its destruction due to its rejection of him. This passage highlights Jesus' compassion and sorrow for those who do not recognize him as the Messiah. It relates to the overall message of the Gospel of Luke by emphasizing the importance of recognizing and accepting Jesus as the Savior, and the consequences of rejecting him.
Jesus asked his disciples, "But who do you say that I am?" Peter answered, "You are the Christ." Peter, according to this passage, believed that Jesus was the Messiah.
No Jesus was not "named" the messiah, he WAS the messiah, he was "named" Jesus.
Jesus Christ is the Messiah.
Yes, Jesus is the Messiah!
Yes, Mormons believe that Jesus is the Messiah.
Yes. Jesus did say He was the messiah. But He didn't usually get to that point directly. More often He would agree as such when someone else asked Him. Or, He would ask His disciples, "who do you think I am?" Here are two scripture references where Jesus says He is the Messiah: Matt 16:11-12 Mark 14:61-62 Cheers!
The Jews do not recognize Jesus of Nazareth as the Messiah, they are still waiting for the Messiah to come.
Yes Jesus was the Messiah.
