He is going to be handed over into the hands of humanity. We remember how He used His hands to deliver, save, and heal so many from disease. Do you remember the manner with which He cured people since the beginning of the book?

Anti-Semitism has been and is now growing in churches today.

As Yeshua comes down the mountain, His focus is at first on the disciples.
