Why Jesus crucified?

A:Some scholars have pointed out that the teachings of Jesus, as described in the New Testament gospels, were not very different from those of the Jewish religious leaders. He was also careful not to appear to oppose Roman rule in Palestine (See Mark 12:17: "Render unto Caesar..."). They say there is nothing here that would cause such great offence as to demand his crucifixion.In the synoptic gospels (Matthew, Mark and Luke) the trigger for Jesus' arrest was the turmoil he caused when he overturned the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of those who sold doves in the Temple. They were going about their lawful business, sanctioned by the priests, of providing an important service to allow sacrifices to be made in the Temple. Arguably, this would have justified crucifixion, by the harsh standards of the day.In John's Gospel, the 'Cleansing of the Temple' is downgraded and moved to the beginning of Jesus' mission, so that it could not have been the reason for Jesus's arrest (John 2:14-16). Instead, the priests conspired to arrest Jesus because he had raised Lazarus from the dead and all the people were following him Jesus (See John 11:47-48: "Then gathered the chief priests and Pharisees a council, and said, What do we? for this man doeth many miracles. If we leave him thus alone, all men will believe on him: and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation."). In this account, Jesus was arrested and crucified because his mission was undermining the power of the priests and Pharisees. In John's Gospel, there is no case made for the crucifixion of Jesus.

What is meant by a piece of money in Matthew chapte 17 verse 27 of the Bible. What does it mean in US dollars?

The relevant verses in the King James translation are :-Mat 17:24 And when they were come to Capernaum, they that received tribute money came to Peter, and said, Doth not your master pay tribute?Mat 17:25 He saith, Yes. And when he was come into the house, Jesus prevented him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? of whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? of their own children, or of strangers?Mat 17:26 Peter saith unto him, Of strangers. Jesus saith unto him, Then are the children free.Mat 17:27 Notwithstanding, lest we should offend them, go thou to the sea, and cast an hook, and take up the fish that first cometh up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a piece of money: that take, and give unto them for me and thee.The marginal notes for verse 24 also render the words 'tribute money' as'didrachma, in value 15 pence.' ( A didrachma coin is a coin worth two drachma ). Because of inflation, the value of '15 pence' is meaningless here. However, in verse 27 the marginal note says the 'piece of money' is "a stater. It is half an ounce of silver."In today's paper ( April 8th 2008) the price of silver was US$18:18 for a Troy ounce, which makes a 'stater' (or half an ounce of silver) worth US$9:09.The "NET Bible" translates verse 27 as:-17:27 But so that we don't offend them, go to the lake and throw out a hook. Take the first fish that comes up, and when you open its mouth, you will find a four drachma coin.48 Take that and give it to them for me and you."Its marginal note 48 says:-"The four drachma coin was a stater (στατήρ, stathr), a silver coin worth four drachmas. One drachma was equivalent to one denarius, the standard pay for a day's labor "This means the 4-drachma coin was equal to the standard pay for 4 days, so this would make the denarius , (which was 1 days standard pay), equal to $2:27 in today's money. There is no conflict between verses 24 and 27, where verse 24 refers to the tribute money as a 'didrachma' , or a 2-drachma coin, but this was for one person, so the cost for both Jesus and Peter in verse 27 was therefore 4 drachmas, or a stater, equal to about US$9:09

What sacrament does parable of prodigal son refer to?

It doesn't refer to any sacrament the parable is about the nation of Israel. The parable of the Lost Son is in a group of three parables - The Lost Sheep, The Lost Coin and the Lost Son. These three parables are about God's love for people who are lost and, in the context of the parables, God's love for the 'lost' nation of Israel. The father in the parable represents God. The youngest son represents Israel and the oldest son represents the Pharisees and the scribes. The parable was told because of the attitudes of the scribes and Pharisees. Both of these groups were self righteous and rejected Jesus. This parable along with the parables of the lost coin and the lost sheep, are rebukes to the scribes and Pharisees.


What is the meaning of the parable of the woman with the lost coin?

The parable of the Lost Coin is the second parable in a group of three parables - The Lost Sheep, The Lost Coin and the Lost Son. If you look at the context of the parables, you will see the parables are specifically about God's love for the 'lost' nation of Israel. Jesus tells these parables in response to a complaint by the scribes and Pharisees that He is associating with common people Luke 15:1-3 Then all the tax collectors and the sinners drew near to Him to hear Him. And the Pharisees and scribes complained, saying, "This Man receives sinners and eats with them." So He spoke this parable to them, saying: Apart from the primary application to Israel, these three parables are about God's love for people who are lost.

What is the main point of the three parables of luke15?

The Pharisees and scribes resented the fact that Jesus fraternized with people who were obviously sinners. The Pharisees and scribes did not show grace to these social outcasts, and they resented Jesus' doing so. They complained, "This Man receives sinners and eats with them." This was true, of course. It was in answer to their complanit that the Jesus recounted the parables of the lost sheep, the lost coin, and the lost son. These stories were aimed directly at the scribes and Pharisees, who were never broken before God to admit their lost condition. They were as lost as the publicans and sinners, but they steadfastly refused to admit it. The point of the three stories is that God receives real joy and satisfaction when He sees sinners repenting, whereas He obtains no gratification from self-righteous hypocrites who are too proud to admit their wretched sinfulness.
