Matthew 26:57-75
Priest said Jesus has spoken blasphemy: behavior or language that insults or shows a lack of respect for God or religion
Jesus confessed he is the son of God, the Christ
The teachers of the law and elders said he is worthy of death, and struck him.
Peter followed Jesus at a distant to see the outcome. Peter denied he is the follow was with Jesus 3 times. Peter remembered he word Jesus has spoken, he went out to wept bitterly.
Why?
Priest and teachers, elders did not confess Jesus is Christ, son of God. They though Jesus insulted God. From the law, they thought Jesus is worthy to dead. They did not know what Jesus did are came from The Load, not one in the world could do it.
Peter disown Jesus 3 times as Jesus has spoken, peter confessed his sin and weakness so he wept bitterly.
Blasphemy is a capital charge under Jewish law.
How?
Truth or false always people does not easy distinguish it. To know Jesus is Christ need the chosen from The Load.
Jesus is love, law need be respected, but the basic of the law is Love God and love your neighbors.
Believed Jesus not only what he said, but also what he did, those who have leprosy are cured, the deaf hear, the dead are raised and the good news is preached to poor.
Dear Jesus Thank you your life for me.
We all like peter are weakness, may be even worse than peter.
