600 to 1
“Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the governor’s headquarters, and they gathered the whole battalion before him.” Matthew 27:27 The whole battalion, that’s about 600 men based on what I’ve read. I’ve always thought of events leading up to the cross as small and intimate, except the religious crowd. I never... Continue Reading →
