The stories of Jesus’ crucifixion and resurrection in the gospels Mark and Peter differ greatly. Each author has his own plot, descriptive language, audience and characterization of Jesus. What we know about Jesus and how he is portrayed changes between the gospels. For example, the Gospel of Mark uses many Jewish references and makes parallels to the Old Testament which was most likely for the benefit of a Jewish audience. Also, the Jesus in Mark’s gospel is characterized to be more divine, befitting

Billy Budd By: Herman Mellville      Herman Melville’s Billy Budd is a classic tale of innocence and evil. The main force of innocence is constantly attacked by the force of evil until the innocence falters. Through the use of many literary devices, Melville shows how sometimes the obvious results do not always occur when they are being expected. However, he also shows that the force of all that is good and righteous will triumph over evil at the end, even over

Comparing Billy and Christ in Billy Budd Herman Melville's Billy Budd provides us with a summation and conclusive commentary on the ambiguities of moral righteousness and social necessity. The conflict that arises pitting natural justice in opposition to military justice essentially deliberates over whether the sacrifice of the individual is required for the continuum and conservation of social order. The deep allegorical theme of the passion of Christ that resides in Billy Budd illustrates

Even at the voice of the governor Pontius Pilate, who several times mentions that he doesn't find any guilt or reason to persecute Jesus, the people still wish for his crucifixion. The movie did not really make sense of the motivation of the Jewish high priests or the Jewish people, and it was not explained in the gospels either.

relationship with her mother and grandmother is the exact opposite. There is no question that love is present in this relationship. The oversaturation of love that Hagar receives from Pilate and Reba motivates her disillusioned and childish behavior. This is shown when”she lay[s] in her little Goldilocks’-choice bed” and Pilate and Ruth call her as “My baby girl” and allow her to act childishly and rash even though she is a middle-aged woman. (510, 516). Because she has never been forced to mature and grow

For Meursault, his death comes randomly. When the penultimate moment comes, and both men are asked by their judges to say something on their own behalf. Both men refuse. Pontius Pilate puts the question to Jesus, trying to get him to say anything to save himself. Through it all, Jesus keeps his mouth shut and insures his crucifixion. This silence is unusual for Jesus; he starts talking as an infant, teaching the teachers and keeps

There were many, many illegal things that happened at Jesus' trial. Their goal was to get Him condemned, not to truly and lawfully find out if He was guilty. They had been trying for a long time to find a way to put Him to death. Now, they had him in their hand and they did their best to get rid of Him. “If these men had intended to conduct a legal trial, a specific charge would have been made against Christ, and a warrant for His arrest would have been issued.”1 Since this was not what they wanted

Gaius Caecilius or Gaius Caesilius Cilo best known as Pliny the younger was a lawyer, author and magistrate ( a civil officer or lay judge who administers the law, especially one who conducts a court that deals with minor offenses and holds preliminary hearings for more serious ones.) for Ancient Rome. Pliny has written hundreds of letters and many of them can be found or what we would call "surviving," a lot of these letters provide insight to how things were in the time they were written. Some

that he would suffer freely for the salvation of the world. After his Last Supper, Jesus was captured in the Garden of Gethsemane outside the walls of Jerusalem. There was a trial in which Jesus was found guilty and was then handed over to Pontius Pilate who had him crucified. He was crowned with thorns and was led to the hill of Calvary carrying his cross to be crucified. Then Jesus “himself bore our sins in his body upon the cross, so that, free from sin, we might live for righteousness. By his

Spilling down a slope overlooking Jerusalem, the Peace Forest symbolizes the unity of Jerusalem after the Six-Day War, harmony between Arab and Jewish people and the hope for peace in a land birthed and raised in turmoil. Here, the city plants a tree for EVERY child born in Jerusalem. According to Moshe Rivlin, who served as chairman of the Jewish National Fund (JNF) until his death in 2004, "In most countries people are born to forests, and forests are given to them by nature. But here in this
