Thematic Bible: Is the life


Thematic Bible



So when Pilate saw that he was able to do nothing, but that trouble was working up, he took water and, washing his hands before the people, said, The blood of this upright man is not on my hands: you are responsible.

For the life of the flesh is in its blood; and I have given it to you on the altar to take away your sin: for it is the blood which makes free from sin because of the life in it.


But see that you do not take the blood for food; for the blood is the life; and you may not make use of the life as food with the flesh.

Saying, I have done wrong in giving into your hands an upright man. But they said, What is that to us? it is your business.

For the blood is the life of all flesh: and so I have said to the children of Israel, You may not take any sort of blood as food, and any man who does so will be cut of.

Do not go about saying untrue things among your people, or take away the life of your neighbour by false witness: I am the Lord.
