here's a reminder about what the bible tells us about the jewish elders: they are pagans who do the bidding of the devil: > ezekiel 8:7 and he brought me to the door of the court; and when i looked, behold a hole in the wall.  > 8 then said he unto me, son of man, dig now in the wall: and when i had digged in the wall, behold a door.  > 9 and he said unto me, go in, and behold the wicked abominations that they do here.  > 10 so i went in and saw; and behold every form of creeping things, and abominable beasts, and all the idols of the house of israel, pourtrayed upon the wall round about.  > 11 and there stood before them seventy men of the ancients of the house of israel, and in the midst of them stood jaazaniah the son of shaphan, with every man his censer in his hand; and a thick cloud of incense went up.  > 12 then said he unto me, son of man, hast thou seen what the ancients of the house of israel do in the dark, every man in the chambers of his imagery? for they say, the lord seeth us not; the lord hath forsaken the earth. they use blackmail to control leaders, kings, judges, and politicians: > john 19:11 jesus answered, thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin. > 12 and from thenceforth pilate sought to release him: but the jews cried out, saying, if thou let this man go, thou art not csars friend: whosoever maketh himself a king speaketh against csar. > 13 when pilate therefore heard that saying, he brought jesus forth, and sat down in the judgment seat in a place that is called the pavement, but in the hebrew, gabbatha.  > 14 and it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the jews, behold your king!  > 15 but they cried out, away with him, away with him, crucify him. pilate saith unto them, shall i crucify your king? the chief priests answered, we have no king but csar.
