Reflective Questions
When you think about death, what feelings and thoughts come to mind?
Reading
John 19:17-24
Responsive Questions
1. Crucifixion was obviously a brutal and tortuous form of execution. Why do you think John leaves so much of the agonizing detail out of his account?
2. Three groups are involved in Jesus' death - the soldiers, the Jewish leaders and Pilate. How would you characterize each one's attitude toward Jesus?
3. In what ways do their attitudes toward Jesus parallel those of men and women today?
4. How do you think Mary, Jesus' mother, feels as she stands by the cross?

2.the soldiers: they didnt really care they were just doing there job and mocking Jesus cuz everyone else was.
the jewish leaders: they were glad that there way came true and just was glad Jesus was dead.
pilate: kinda sad that they hung Jesus and probebly felt guilty about it but jut tried to act like it wasjust nother death.

sodiers-arrogant,hard-hearted
leaders-blinded from the truth they were searching for(the Messiah),
Pilate-He let the peoples´demands come in front of what he knew to be true.

Some are like the Jews in that they were too worried about the law or good deeds.
Others are like Pilate because they know the truth and have found it,yet still reject it because of what others would think of them.
