all I Can say is that during that time and so as of today politics is the answer. Eventhough they found Jesus not guilty of any crime to convict him...but still they submit to the will of the people.....there is a spiritual blindness during that time..the leader of the religous groups like the Pharasees lead those people to blindness...Jesus preparing himself to the perpect will of His father our GOD...to complete and finished his mission here on earth to save us from our sins and bringing back our lost relationship to GOD.
