N. T. Wright Quotes
When The Soldiers Dress Jesus Up In A Purple Robe, They Do So In Order To Mock Him, But John Tells Us Of It In Order To Declare That Jesus Is Indeed The One In Purple, The One Before Whom The Nations Will Bow. Pilate Circles Around The Possibility That Jesus Is In Some Sense "king Of The Jews," But Without Realizing That, According To The Jews' Own Ancient Traditions, Their King Is To Be King Of The Whole World. John Knows That He Is Telling A Story Of Someone Dying The Death Of A Criminal. He Is Determined That His Readers Will "hear" The Story Also As The Death Of The Rightful King. Jesus's Kingdom Will Not Come By Violence (18:36). It Will Come Through His Own Death. When He Is Lifted Up From The Earth, He Will Draw All People To Himself (12:32).
