First I didn’t parse what I wrote from scripture...it’s scripture....which you would have identified had you read scripture as you say you have. But engaging...yes the scriptures can and do do so if you are seeking the truth.

I'm sorry, I cannot make sense of those 2 sentences.

What I am saying is this: Jesus avoided saying anything that would allow Pilate to pronounce a death sentence. That is why Pilate would not pronounce a death sentence. That Jesus avoided it suggests he was not willing to die. This is simple logic.

....”This is simple logic”....

No it’s denial of the written record. Your statements could not be made unless you deny what’s written.

Most understand that Jesus was ‘selective’ ( not avoiding) who and how, and where, He revealed Himself for who he was.... King....and it’s been explained to you why that was so and not a hard thing to understand.

And you’re forgetting that Pilate indeed pronounced his death sentence....even in the face of Jesus continuing to “minister to Pilot” of truth. You are aware that Jesus often endured hardships and threats for his life of various kinds, with and without his diciples for the sake of His message and the people who needed to hear it....why is it so hard for you to understand Jesus was doing likewise with Pilate?

Jesus’s work continued all the way til his last breath...even on the cross he ministered to the dying thief...”today you will be with me in my Kingdom”.....HE gave the care of his weeping mother over to one of his followers...”......

Pilate was a hardened and tough bird....and for a moment he caved ,only to gather himself together and carry on with the trial...But for a moment Jesus got to him...as he does all men...and some continue to go on as Pilate did....others turn and ask further..What is truth?

Jesus says..”I am the way...the truth..and the life...no one can come to the father but by me”
