False witnesses against Jesus

Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet

At the mouth of two witnesses, or three witnesses, shall he that is worthy of death be put to death; but at the mouth of one witness he shall not be put to death. 7The hands of the witnesses shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterward the hands of all the people. So thou shalt put the evil away from among you. Deut. 17

When they were trying to find witnesses to justify putting Jesus to death, there were many false witnesses who came forth against Jesus.  Though there were many lies told, the rulers were looking for witnesses which would allow a death sentence. 

Now the chief priests, and elders, and all the council, sought false witness against Jesus, to put him to death; 60But found none: yea, though many false witnesses came, yet found they none. (none with witness worthy of death)  At the last came two false witnesses, 61And said, This fellow said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.
Mt. 26


In Mark it says even these two didn't agree ... And the chief priests and all the council sought for witness against Jesus to put him to death; and found none. 56For many bare false witness against him, but their witness agreed not together. 57And there arose certain, and bare false witness against him, saying, 58 We heard him say,  I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and within three days I will build another made without hands. 59But neither so did their witness agree together. 60And the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, saying, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee? 61But he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, and said unto him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed? 62And Jesus said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven. 63Then the high priest rent his clothes, and saith, What need we any further witnesses? Mk. 14 

By their laws, Jesus should not have been sentenced to death so they participated in an illegal act. But Jesus had to die as sacrifice for the sins of all.


Today anyone who misquotes or misinterprets the Word of God is a false witness against Jesus the Word.
