An Example of What Love Really Looks Like NKJV

Matthew 26:57-68 And those who had laid hold of Jesus led Him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled.

But Peter followed Him at a distance to the high priest courtyard. And he went in and sat with the servants to see the end.

Now the chief priests, the elders,  and all the counsel sought false testimony against Jesus to put Him to death,

but found none. Even though many false witnesses came forward, they found none. But at last two false witnesses came forward.

and said, This fellow said,  'I am able to destroy the temple of God and to build it in three days.'"

And the high priest arose and said to Him, "Do you answer nothing?" What is it these men testify against You?"

But Jesus kept silent. And the high priest answered and said to Him, "I put You under oath by the living God; Tell us if You are the Christ, the Son of God!"

Jesus said to him, "It is as you said, Nevertheless, I say to you, hereafter you will see the Son of God sitting at the right hand of the Power, and coming on the clouds of heaven."

Then the high priest tore his clothes, saying, "He has spoken blasphemy! What further need do we have of witnesses? Look, now you have heard His blasphemy!"

"What do you think?' They answered and said, "He is deserving of death."

Then they spat on His face and beat Him, and others stuck Him with the palms of their hands,

saying, "Prophesy to us, Christ! Who is the one who struck You?"

Matthew 27:1-2 When morning came, all the chief priests and elders of the people plotted against Jesus to put Him to death.

And when they had bound Him, they led Him away and delivered Him to Pontius Pilate the governor.

Matthew 27:26-31 Then they released Barabbas to them; and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered Him to be crucified.

Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the Praetorium and gathered the whole garrison around Him.

and they stripped Him and put a scarlet robe on Him.

When they had twisted a crown of thorns, they put it on His head, and a reed in His right hand. And they bowed their knee before Him and mocked Him, saying, "Hail, King of the Jews!"

Then they spat on Him, and took the reed and struck Him on the head,

And when they had mocked Him, put His own clothes on Him, and led Him away to be crucified.

John 3:13-21 “No one has ascended to heaven But He who came down from heaven, that is, the Son of Man who is in heaven.

“And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up,

“that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.

“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

“For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn to world, but that the world through Him might be saved.

“He who believes in Him is not condemned, but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

“And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds are evil,

“For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed.

“But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.”
