Lesson 1 - Question 2 'What Others Said About Who He Was'

His enemies:
The Jews (John 10:33)
[Well, first of all, "the Jews" are not Christ's enemy. Jesus is a Jew. The scripture reference speaks to how the religious Jewish leadership, evidenced in verse 31, say about Christ.] They said Jesus blasphemed for saying He is God. They said He is a mere man.

Judas (Matthew 27:3,4)
Judas said Jesus was an innocent man.

Pilate (Matthew 27:22,23)
Here Pilate says Jesus is called the Messiah and also infers that Jesus committed no crime.

The Roman solider (Matthew 27:54)
He said 'truly, this is the Son of God.'
