Even if I were a normal human being caught by Pilate, knowing that God is with me

I would have bragged when Pilate said to the Lord, "I have the power over you to forgive you". I would have said, "I have the power to destroy you in a few seconds at my one call, so show your power to your kingdom and not me"

But the Lord, in true sense, kept his flesh (Tongue and ego) under so much control that he did not even say anything to the Pilate.

Had he been even a bit uncertain of his future, he would have begged for unconditional mercy, but he did none of the two, which shows his full confidence, his strong character and above all, the Godly characteristic of being in full control of his body at such a harsh time.

This incident makes me feel to have control over what I say, when I say and to whom I say.

Not according to the Gospel of John, 18, verses 28 to 38. Pilate and Jesus had quite a yarn!

@walabby Not that I know of.

@walabby The tone and the meaning changes as you translate the real version more and more. But still, I see decency.
