Hi Gino,

    I'm sorry if my evaluation was unclear, or post confusing to you Gino. When the soldiers approached the

disciples and the other camp followers of Jesus they encountered a group of homeless men of no apparent means,

or ornamentation. Basically, they looked upon this group as a bunch of worthless bums.

    Judas needed to ID Jesus, because he was a ordinary looking man who was accustomed to hardship and toil. Most of the Temple Guards had never seen Jesus before, so they needed help singling him out. You need to remember at any time there could have been as many as 40 people following Jesus. 

    What I'm happy to quote you from John is 

  God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.”

Agape,

Michael Curtiss
