Ezekiel 33:31
31 aAnd they come to you as people come, and they sit before you as my people, and they hear what you say but they will not do it; for bwith lustful talk in their mouths they act; their heart is set on their gain.John 12:5-6
5“Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred denarii ▼▼A denarius was a day’s wage for a laborer
and dgiven to the poor?” 6He said this, not because he cared about the poor, but because he was a thief, and ehaving charge of the moneybag he used to help himself to what was put into it. John 19:12-15
12From then on fPilate sought to release him, but the Jews cried out, “If you release this man, you are not Caesar’s friend. gEveryone who makes himself a king opposes Caesar.” 13So when Pilate heard these words, he brought Jesus out and sat down on hthe judgment seat at a place called The Stone Pavement, and in Aramaic ▼▼Or Hebrew; also verses 17, 20
Gabbatha. 14Now it was jthe day of Preparation of the Passover. It was about the sixth hour. ▼▼That is, about noon
He said to the Jews, l“Behold your King!” 15They cried out, m“Away with him, away with him, crucify him!” Pilate said to them, “Shall I crucify your King?” The chief priests answered, “We have no king but Caesar.”
