int21h Posted June 15, 2008 Posted June 15, 2008 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. Why did the high priest rest his cloths? Quote

Moderators John317 Posted June 16, 2008 Moderators Posted June 16, 2008 According to the verse itself, the High Priest was indicating that he was outraged at Jesus' blasphemy. The Mosaic law prohibited the high priest from tearing his clothes. In the present case, the high priest intended by his act to cause the mob to be more greatly enraged against Christ. Quote John 3:16-17 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. [17] For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.
int21h Posted June 16, 2008 Author Posted June 16, 2008 What would be the punishment to a High Priest that tore his garment? And Did any other High Priest ever tear their garment in the scripture? Also Thanks for the reply... Quote
