(Message by Tanny Keng)

a) What kind of people did Jesus associate with? Whom did he consider important enough to touch?Here we see many of the people Jesus came to know. Some reached out to him; he reached out to them all.

i) The high priest.
a) Text reference: Matthew 26:62-68

64 Jesus said to him, “It is as you said. Nevertheless, I say to you, hereafter you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Power, and coming on the clouds of heaven.”

67 Then they spat in His face and beat Him; and others struck Him with the palms of their hands, 68 saying, “Prophesy to us, Christ! Who is the one who struck You?” (Matthew 26:62-68 NKJV)
