Curtain of the temple was tore from top to bottom so that we can enter in to holy place


Curtain of the temple was tore from top to bottom so that we can enter in to holy place

Mark 15:38(Curtain of the temple was tore from top to bottom so that we can enter in to holy place)
                38 The curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.

Heb 10:19, 20(A new living way opened for us through the curtain, that is, the body of Jesus)
                19 Therefore, brothers and sisters, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus, 20 by a new and living way opened for us through the curtain, that is, his body,

Heb 9:8, 12, 25(Jesus entered the most holy place once for all by His own blood thus obtaining eternal redemption)
                8 The Holy Spirit was showing by this that the way into the Most Holy Place had not yet been disclosed as long as the first tabernacle was still functioning.
                12 He did not enter by means of the blood of goats and calves; but he entered the Most Holy Place once for all by his own blood, thus obtaining[b] eternal redemption. 
               
Heb 6:19(We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain, where our forerunner, Jesus, has entered on our behalf)
                19 We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain, 20 where our forerunner, Jesus, has entered on our behalf. He has become a high priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek.

Heb 9:2, 3, 7(The layout of tabernacle)
                2 A tabernacle was set up. In its first room were the lampstand and the table with its consecrated bread; this was called the Holy Place. 3Behind the second curtain was a room called the Most Holy Place, 
                 7 But only the high priest entered the inner room, and that only once a year, and never without blood, which he offered for himself and for the sins the people had committed in ignorance.

We learn the following from the above verses
1)      Curtain of the temple was tore from top to bottom so that we can enter in to holy place
2)      A new living way opened for us through the curtain, that is, the body of Jesus
3)      Jesus entered the most holy place once for all by His own blood thus obtaining eternal redemption

Jesus did not reply, when false accusations were made against Him


Jesus did not reply, when false accusations were made against Him

Mark 14:61(Jesus did not reply when high priest asked him questions)
                61 But Jesus remained silent and gave no answer.
   Again the high priest asked him, “Are you the Messiah, the Son of the Blessed One?”

Isa 53:7(Jesus was oppressed and afflicted, 
   yet He did not open his mouth)
                7 He was oppressed and afflicted, 
   yet he did not open his mouth; 
he was led like a lamb to the slaughter, 
   and as a sheep before its shearers is silent, 
   so he did not open his mouth.

Mt 27:12, 14(When Jesus was accused by the chief priests and the elders, He gave no answer)
                12 When he was accused by the chief priests and the elders, he gave no answer.
                14 But Jesus made no reply, not even to a single charge—to the great amazement of the governor.

Mk 15:5(Pilate was amazed as Jesus did not make any reply to the accusations of Chief Priests)
                3 The chief priests accused him of many things. 4 So again Pilate asked him, “Aren’t you going to answer? See how many things they are accusing you of.”
 5 But Jesus still made no reply, and Pilate was amazed.

Lk 23:9(Herod plied Jesus with many questions, but Jesus gave him no answer)
                8 When Herod saw Jesus, he was greatly pleased, because for a long time he had been wanting to see him. From what he had heard about him, he hoped to see him perform a sign of some sort. 9 He plied him with many questions, but Jesus gave him no answer.

John 19:9(Jesus gave no answer to Pilate)
                7 The Jewish leaders insisted, “We have a law, and according to that law he must die, because he claimed to be the Son of God.”
 8 When Pilate heard this, he was even more afraid, 9 and he went back inside the palace. “Where do you come from?” he asked Jesus, but Jesus gave him no answer.
