Lecture XXIV Scribes: Lawyers at Calvary (Part 5 End Game)

For Jesus' enemies, his death was certain, the process was not.  They could make it up as they go along.  The role of the scribes was eerily similar to that of a modern trial lawyer or staff counsel at a Congressional hearing, brains behind the scene.  Now that we know what scribes did, and how they were regarded, we have a good idea of what they were doing before, during, and after Jesus' trial. They set a strategy in motion, and with conniving and effort, it worked.  Little did they know, their End Game would become the proximate cause of the salvation of the world.
