isaiah 53: 4-6 and   romans 5: 6-8 speak how jesus was pierced for our transgressions,   crushed for our iniquities and that god demonstrates his own love for us in this: while we were still sinners, christ died for us, and by his wounds we are all healed.   psalm 22: 6-7 and   matthew 27: 39-40   correlate basically by the fact that all of the people who didn´t believe in jesus, were telling him that if he was so powerful as he said he was, he should save himself.     matthew 27: 35 and psalm 22: 18 refers about how they divided his clothes among them   and cast lots for his garment. isaiah 53: 8-9 and matthew 27: 57-60 express the process of the burial of jesus. psalm 22: 15-16 and luke 23: 33-34 speak about his crucifiction, the humilliation of being surrounded by sinners, and asking the lord for mercy for humanity. finally in john 19: 33-35   and isaiah 53: 12 speak about the most important prophecy, the testimony of a living god, who resurrected and buried all of our sins and guilt, for all of us. when he was crucified a man saw a sudden flow of blood and water from his wound, and he gived testimony, for all o us to believe, that he poured out his life unto death,   and was numbered with the transgressors.   for he bore the sin of many,   and made intercession for the transgressors.

the founder of the byzantine empire and its first emperor, constantine the great, moved the capital of the roman empire to the city of byzantium in 330 ce, and renamed it constantinople.

the byzantine empire (the eastern roman empire) was distinct from the western roman empire in several ways; most importantly, the byzantines were christians and spoke greek instead of latin.

constantine the great also legalized christianity, which had previously been persecuted in the roman empire. christianity would become a major element of byzantine culture.

constantinople became the largest city in the empire and a major commercial center, while the western roman empire fell in 476 ce.

as emperor, constantine enacted many administrative, financial, social, and military reforms to strengthen the empire. the government was restructured and civil and military authority separated. a new gold coin, the solidus, was introduced to combat inflation. it would become the standard for byzantine and european currencies for more than a thousand years. as the first roman emperor to claim conversion to christianity, constantine played an influential role in the development of christianity as the religion of the empire. in military matters, the roman army was reorganized to consist of mobile field units and garrison soldiers capable of countering internal threats and barbarian invasions. constantine pursued successful campaigns against the tribes on the roman frontiers—the franks, the alamanni, the goths, and the sarmatians, and even resettled territories abandoned by his predecessors during the turmoil of the previous century.
