Like i said earlier, they could have known, but that doesn't mean the devil was sure about it. Its not possible that he would willingly crucify the Son of God. Like Mina said, he knew scripture very well and tested him during the 40 days. It didn't …

Ohh I'm sorry, I understood it wrong, I thought you were saying that pasters feel its their job to fill the congregation with the Holy Spirit and not Gods Spirit. My fault forgive me
