Where in the new testament says Jesus was beaten beyond recognition?

The only verse I can think of is in the Old Testament.Found in Isaiah 52:14, it states ...."His visage (appearance) was marred (physical disfigurement)MORE than any man, and His body more than all the sons of men.Just one part of His injuries was caused by the whip used on His back which had metal balls attached at the end with razor sharp spikes coming out of the balls, thus inflicting horrendous injuries and ripping the skin open.


Why is Jesus not mentioned in the Old Testament but Immanuel is?

A:The Old Testament was written long before the time of Jesus, so naturally it contains no mention of Jesus. The Book of Isaiah contains the name Immanuel (Isaiah 7:14, Hebrew Bible): "Therefore, the Lord, of His own, shall give you a sign; behold, the young woman is with child, and she shall bear a son, and she shall call his name Immanuel."The association of the name Immanuel with Jesus comes via the Septuagint, a flawed early Greek translation of the Hebrew scriptures. This resulted in the important but erroneous replacement of "the young woman" by "a virgin", as in the KJV: "Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel."The author of Matthew's Gospel, a Greek-speaker, noticed the reference to a virgin in the Septuagint and thought it could be used as a prophecy of Jesus. Whether he realised that the correct wording was 'the young woman' may never be known. His usage of Isaiah 7:14 required that the name Immanuel remain in the Old Testament, while the gospels talk of Jesus.Answer:When one reads the Bible in its entirety, one understands that the only member of the God Family mankind has had a direct relationship with is the Word of God. The God Family uses many names/titles to describe His awesome authorithy/power/character. The Word or Logos as John 1:1-3 uses for Jesus Christ was the creator off all things. Paul tells us it was He who was the column of fire leading the Israelites and Mechizedek who received tithes from Abraham.The Old Testament or Covenant points to the new role/title the Word would take on - that of a man becoming the Son of God/Man now known as Jesus Christ, the Messiah. The Psalms speak of and point to this role. All the Prophets, Isaiah, Ezekiel, Jeremiah, Daniel, Zechariah, etals note His role and character. Genesis notes His coming sacrifice to re-establish mankind to God after the fall in the Garden. The New Testament or Covenant is just a fulfillment of the Old - a seemless flow of the story of mankind and God's Plan of Salvation via His Son, Jesus for us all.The title or name Jesus was not given at that time as He did not divest His power allowing His Father's Holy Spirit to beget Him as a man named Jesus (John 3:16). This began the Father and Son relationship - the first of the firstborn of the Father.Answer:This prophecy is mentioned in Isaiah chapter 7:14 "Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his nameImmanuel". This prophecy was fulfilled in Isaiah chapter 8. As Isaiah makes clear, this prophecy was fulfilled when Isaiah "went unto the prophetess and she conceived and, and bare a son" and called his name "Mahershalahashbaz". In context, Judah "was shaken" as two powerful kingdoms sought the nation's demise. God, however, promised that the birth of Mahershalahashbaz was a sign that Judah would be spared. In the words of Isaiah, "for before the child shall know to refuse evil, and choose the good, the land that thou abhorrest shall be forsaken of bother her kings". Although Isaiah's wife, unlike Mary, was not a virgin when she gave birth, she nonetheless was the near future fulfillment of Isaiah's prophecy. "Virgin" (almah) was simply a term used to refer to the prophetess prior to her union with Isaiah, not to indicate she would give birth to a child as a virgin. Finally, while the Holy Spirit may have revealed to Isaiah that his prophecy pointed forward to Jesus (John 12:41), it was not until after the miraculous virginal conception and birth of Jesus more than six hundred years later that it became entirely clear that the near future fulfillment of Isaiah's prophecy was a type, the archetype of which Jesus is Messiah (1:22-23). While Mahershalahashbaz signified temporal salvation for Judah, Jesus Christ , the literal Immanuel, embodied eternal salvation for true Israel.

In which Psalm did David speak of Jesus' betrayal?

Psalm 41 is regarded as being the prophetic Psalm in which Jesus' betrayal is prophesied. The whole of the Psalm deals with this prophecy, but verse 9 is particularly relevant. 'Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me'. At the Last Supper, just prior to His betrayal, John 13:19 has Jesus quote the Psalm and mention it as being prophetic of the imminent betrayal: 'I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen: but that the scripture may be fulfilled, He that eateth bread with me hath lifted up his heel against me.'

Who was king of Babylon when Isaiah lived?

The prophet Isaiah is best known as the author of the Book of Isaiah. However, scholars have confirmed that the Book of Isaiah was really written by two (and possibly three) authors. The first author, now known as First Isaiah, says that he wrote of events that occurred during the reigns of Kings Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah. Thus, he lived prior to about 687 BCE, when Hezekiah died. More than a century later, an anonymous author now known as Second Isaiah added further material about the Babylonian Exile. This material continued until the early years of the Return to Jerusalem, beginning around 500 BCE, either by Second Isaiah or a Third Isaiah. During the lifetime of First Isaiah there was no king in Babylon, as it was under the dominion of Assyria until 625 BCE, when the Babylonians rebelled under Chaldean leadership. The Babylonian Exile was enforced in 586 BCE by King Nebuchadnezzar II, who was succeeded in about 555 BCE by Nabonidus, the last of the Babylonian kings. The writings of Second Isaiah begin during this period. Nabonidus was defeated by the Persian, King Cyrus the Great, in 539 BCE. Around 530 BCE, Cyrus gave his son Cambyses the title of king of Babylon, within the Persian Empire, but Cambyses succeeded to the Persian throne a year afterwards. A Babylonian revolt saw Babylon under its own king, Nebuchadnezzar III, from 522 to 520 BCE, and another revolt probably occurred around 514 BCE. This was clearly the time of Second Isaiah.

What is Hannah montanan's real name?

Her real name is Destiny Hope Cyrus. When she was a child, her dad (country rocker Billy Ray Cyrus) nicknamed her "Smiley" because of the infectious way she would smile at his concerts. When she auditioned for Hannah Montana, she auditioned(with her father's permission) as "Miley" because she loved the way celebs had strange and cool names but she though hers was boring. Her dad legally changed her name to Miley in 2006 prior to her getting the lead role on the show. So technically her name is Miley Cyrus but on her birth certificate it says Destiny Hope Cyrus.


After Cyrus conquered Babylon did he appoint Darius as king over Babylon?

Cyrus the Great was king of Persia from about 560 to 530 BCE, conquering Babylon in 539 BCE. He was succeeded by his son, Cambyses, who was killed in battle in 522 BCE.Bardia, who may have been the brother of Cambyses, usurped the throne while Cambyses was in the provinces, coincidently shortly before his death. Darius, although a Mede, would not accept the usurpation and overthrew Bardia in 522, ruling until 486 BCE. Prior to this, Darius was a military commander. Even if old enough to have held a military commission when Cyrus conquered Babylon, he would not have come to the attention of Cyrus, as a Mede and because Cyrus had at least one and probably two able sons.Darius was scarcely a contemporary of Cyrus, but a great deal of confusion has arisen because of historical errors in the Book of Daniel, which places Darius before Cyrus in its account.

What did Cyrus McCormick invent and when?

Cyrus McCormick received a patent on his 'perfected' mechanical reaper in 1834, but Cyrus himself was not sole originator of the idea. His lifetime of innovations were in large part influenced by prior work of his own father and a number of other contemporary inventors. McCormick's patents were also the subject of a number of patent infringement cases throughout the inventor's lifetime as he tried to claim rights to what he "patented first." He received another patent on improvements to this machine in 1845, but it was not until the later 1840s that he began achieving more commercial success.
