Five Verses for Easter 2023

I’ve spliced into these verses another name of Jesus found elsewhere in the Bible.  Each is in all caps.

“Then he released for them Barabbas, and having scourged JEHOVAH, delivered him to be crucified.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭27‬:‭26‬ ‭ESV‬‬

“And THE ALMIGHTY said, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” And they cast lots to divide his garments.” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭23‬:‭34‬ ‭ESV‬‬

“A jar full of sour wine stood there, so they put a sponge full of the sour wine on a hyssop branch and held it to his mouth. When YAHWEH had received the sour wine, he said, “It is finished,” and he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.” ‭‭John‬ ‭19‬:‭29‬-‭30‬ ‭ESV‬‬

“But when they came to the HOLY, HOLY, HOLY LORD GOD ALMIGHTY, WHO IS, AND WHO WAS, AND WHO IS TO COME, and saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs. But one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and at once there came out blood and water.” ‭‭John‬ ‭19‬:‭33‬-‭34‬ ‭ESV‬‬

“That very day two of them were going to a village named Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem, and they were talking with each other about all these things that had happened. And he said to them, “What things?” And they said to him, “Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, a man who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people, and how our chief priests and rulers delivered THE CREATOR up to be condemned to death, and crucified him… And their eyes were opened, and they recognized him. And he vanished from their sight.” ‭‭‭‭Luke‬ ‭24‬:‭13‬-‭14‬, ‭19‬-‭20‬, 31 ‭ESV‬‬
