Judgment Under Law’s Veil
John 18:29-31 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read John 18 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Pilate questions the accusation; the crowd replies that only a malefactor would be delivered. The Jews insist it is not lawful for them to execute anyone.
Neville's Inner Vision
Let the outer question be seen as a mirror of your inner state. Pilate steps out and asks, What accusation bring ye against this man? The crowd answers from a collective belief, 'If he were not a malefactor, we would not have delivered him up to thee.' In Neville’s language, this is a reveal: the judge you see in the world is the judge you carry within. When they say, Take ye him, and judge him according to your law, they invite you to examine the law you are obeying in your own heart. The 'law' that condemns or frees is not a Roman decree but the inner perception you hold about yourself. The Jews’ claim that it is not lawful to put any man to death points to a higher justice that cannot be found in external statute but in the I AM that perceives. Thus the apparent execution of a malefactor is the vanishing of a belief you have accepted as true. By revising your inner verdict and aligning with the inner law of righteousness, you release the need for any external proof. The world shifts as you accept your true authority, and you feel the light of the inner court declaring: you are judged by the one law you cannot break—the I AM.
Practice This Now
Assume the role of the I AM observing a courtroom within; ask, 'What accusation am I entertaining about myself?' Then revise: 'I judge by the inner law of God within me; no external verdict can bind me,' and feel it real as a soft light dissolves the charge.
