At the end of Jesus’ great commission, just as he was rising up to heaven, he said, “I will be with you to the end of the age.”
Matthew 27:29
In the original Greek of the New Testament, that word, age, can also be translated, “I will be with you to the end of ETERNITY.”

The crown of thorns was arranged neatly in a perfect circle with long, bare thorns everywhere.
Matthew 27:29
No! First, it is nearly impossible to fold a branch in a perfect circle. Try it. Second, it was spring, not winter. There were leaves on the bushes and often flowers. A crown of thorns with just leaves on it would imitate Caesar’s crown. A crown with leaves and flowers on it would mock Jesus (but also be the last thing of beauty he wore).

Caiaphas, the High Priest, and Ananus (his-father-in-law, high priest before him) who both condemned Jesus, believed in everything in the Old Testament just like any other priest.
Matthew 26:3-4 – John 11:47-53 – John 18:24-26 – Acts 4:1-6 – Acts 5:17
No! High Priest Caiaphas was son-in-law to Ananas, the former high priest and was brother-in-law to Ananas’ two sons. They were all Sadducees, the ruling elite of the day. The only part of the Bible they believed was the Law of Moses and used it in a secular sense, not religious. According to Josephus, they believed once a person dies, they go out of existence. They did not believe any of the prophets (including the poetic prophecies) which make up most of the Old Testament). They were basically atheists.
