Matthew 27:24-26(Pilate deliveres Jesus to be crucified)
"24 So when Pilate saw that he was gaining nothing, but rather that a riot was beginning, he took water and washed his hands before the crowd, saying, " I am innocent of this man's ( Jesus'😊1st❤
) blood; see to it yourselves."
25 And all the people answered, "His blood be on us and on our children! "
26 Then he released for them Barabas( no good), having scourged Jesus, deliver him to be crucified."( Matthew 27:24-26 ESV study Bible)
Genesis 41:53-57
" 53 The seven years of plenty that occured in the land of Egypt came to an end,
54 and the seven years of famine began to come, as Joseph😊❤
had said. There was famime in all lands, but in all the land of Egypt there was bread.
55 When all the land of Egypt was famished, the people cried to Pharaoh for bread. Pharaoh said to all the Egyptians,
" Go to Joseph. What he says to you, do."
56 so when the famine had spread over all the land, Joseph😊❤ opened all the storehouses and sold to the Egyptians, for the famine was severe in the land of Egypt.
57 Moreover, all the earth came to Egypt to Joseph😊❤
to buy grain, because the famine was severe over all the earth."( Genesis 41:53-57 ESV Study Bible)
In Genesis 41:54-57,
" As predicted in Pharaoh's dream, the seven years of plenty are followed by a "famine"( from Genesis 41:54a,54b ; 54) that extend well beyond the border of Egypt. Joseph's😊❤preparation, however, ensure that food is available for the Egyptians and " all the earth"(from Genesis 41:57a)( for example all the eastern Mediterrean region ... Genesis 6:17( Undee the context of great corruption)
The Bible said in Genesis 6:17
"17 For behold, I will bring a flood of water upon the earth to destroy all the flesh in which is the breath of life under heaven. Everything that is on the earth shall die."( Genesis 6:17 ESV Study Bible)
My ESV Study Bible said,
" Although God intends to flooe to destroy every person and his remarks have a strong universal emphasis, this in itself does not necessary mean that flood had to cover the whole earth. Since the geographical perspective of anicient people was more limited than that of the comtemporary reader, it is possible that the flood, while universal from their viewpoint, did not cover the entire globe. Indeed, Genesis implies that prior to the Tower of Babel incident(read Genesis 11:1-9), people had not yet spread throughout the earth. Many interpreters, therefore, argue that a huge regional flood may have been all that was necessary for God( God😊100%❤ ou Father in heaven) to destroy all human beings.
The
Expression " all the earth" ( Genesis 7:3; Genesis 8:9, " the whole earth") does not exclude such a possibility; later, " all the earth"( from Genesis 41:57, 57a) came to Joseph to buy grain ( from Genesis 41:57, 57a), with " all the earth"( from Genesis 41:57a) clearly referring to the eastern Medieterrean seaboard. In support of the view that flood covered all the earth, other interpreters point out that the texts say that " all the high mountain under the whole heaven were covered."( Genesis 7:19) and that the water was " fifteen cubits" above the tops of the mountains. If " the mountains of Ararat"( Genesis 8:4) refers to the range that include present day Mount Ararat in the Turkey( elevation 16,854 feet or 5,137m), the amount of water necessary to cover it would be at least 16,854 feet above sea level."( ESV Study Bible)
John 14:6😊❤
Matthew 27:27-31(Jesus was mocked)
"27 Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the governor's headquarters, and they gathered the whole battalion before him.
28 And they stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him,
29 and twisting together a crown of thorns, they put it on his head and put a reed in his right hand. And kneeing before him, they mocked him( Jesus our Lord and our savior in Christ), saying,
" Hail, King of the Jews! "
30 And they spit on him and took the reed and struck him on the head.
31 And when they had mocked him, they stripped him of the robe and put his own clothes on him and led him away to crucify him."( Matthew 27:27-31 ESV Study Bible)

Genesis 41:46-49❤
"46 Joseph
😊❤ was thirty ( 30)years old when entered the service of Pharaoh king of Egyt. And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh and went through all the land of Egypt.
47 During seven plentiful years the earth produced abundantly.
48 and he gathered up all the food of these seven years, which occured in the land of Egypt, and put the food in the cities. He put in every city the food from the fields around it.
49 And Joseph😊❤ up grain in great abundance, like the sand of the sea,
until he ceased to measure it, for it could not be measured."( Genesis 41:46-49 ESV Study Bible)
Romans 8:28-30❤

(😊❤😊❤
😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤) who are called😊❤ according to his( God's 😊❤) purpose😊❤."( Romans 8:28 ESV Study Bible)
Matthew 27:15-23(The Crowd choose Barabbas)
"15 Now at the feast of the governor was accustomed to release for the crowd any one prisoner whom they wanted.
16 And they had then a notorious prisoner called Barabbas.
17 So when they had gather, Pilate said to them, " Whom do you want me to release for you: Barabbas or Jesus who is called Christ? "
18 For he knew that it was out of envy they delivered him up.
19 Besides, while he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife
sent word to him( Pilate),
" Have nothing to do with that righteousnes man, for I have suffered much because of him today in a dream."
20 Now the chief priests and elders persuaded the crowd to ask for Barabbas and destroy Jesus.
21 The governor again said to them,
"Which of the two do you want me to release for you? " And they said, " Barabbas."
22 Pilate said to them,
" Then what I shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?"
They all said,
"Let him be crucified!"
23 And he said, " Why, what evil has he has done?" But they shouted all the more, " Let him be crucified!"( Matthew 27:15-23 ESV Study Bible)
