Jesus before Pilate

(Mat 27:1, 2, 11–14; Mar 15:1–5; Jhn 18:28–38 )

Luk 23:1The whole company of them rose up and brought him before Pilate.

Luk 23:2They began to accuse him, saying, "We found this man perverting the nation, forbidding paying taxes to Caesar, and saying that he himself is Messiah, a king."

Luk 23:3

Luk 23:3Pilate asked him, "Are you the King of the Yehudim?" He answered him, "So you say."

Luk 23:4

Luk 23:4Pilate said to the chief Kohanim and the multitudes, "I find no basis for a charge against this man."

Luk 23:5

Luk 23:5But they insisted, saying, "He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Yehudah, beginning from the Galil even to this place."

Luk 23:6

Luk 23:6But when Pilate heard Galil mentioned, he asked if the man was a Gelili.

Luk 23:7

Luk 23:7When he found out that he was in Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who was also in Yerushalayim during those days.

Jesus before Herod

Luk 23:8

Luk 23:8Now when Herod saw Yeshua, he was exceedingly glad, for he had wanted to see him for a long time, because he had heard many things about him. He hoped to see some miracle done by him.

Luk 23:9

Luk 23:9He questioned him with many words, but he gave no answers.

Luk 23:10

Luk 23:10The chief Kohanim and the Sofrim stood, vehemently accusing him.

Luk 23:11

Luk 23:11Herod with his soldiers humiliated him and mocked him. Dressing him in luxurious clothing, they sent him back to Pilate.

Luk 23:12

Luk 23:12Herod and Pilate became friends with each other that very day, for before that they were enemies with each other.

Pilate Seeks Jesus' Release

Luk 23:13

Luk 23:13Pilate called together the chief Kohanim and the rulers and the people,

Luk 23:14

Luk 23:14and said to them, "You brought this man to me as one that perverts the people, and see, I have examined him before you, and found no basis for a charge against this man concerning those things of which you accuse him.

Luk 23:15

Luk 23:15Neither has Herod, for I sent you to him, and see, nothing worthy of death has been done by him.

Luk 23:16

Luk 23:16I will therefore chastise him and release him."

Luk 23:17

Luk 23:17Now he had to release one prisoner to them at the feast.

Luk 23:18

Luk 23:18But they all cried out together, saying, "Away with this man! Release to us Bar-Abba!" --

Luk 23:19one who was thrown into prison for a certain revolt in the city, and for murder.

Luk 23:20

Luk 23:20Then Pilate spoke to them again, wanting to release Yeshua,

Luk 23:21

Luk 23:21but they shouted, saying, "Crucify! Crucify him!"

Luk 23:22

Luk 23:22He said to them the third time, "Why? What evil has this man done? I have found no capital crime in him. I will therefore chastise him and release him."

Luk 23:23

Luk 23:23But they were urgent with loud voices, asking that he might be crucified. Their voices and the voices of the chief Kohanim prevailed.

Luk 23:24

Luk 23:24Pilate decreed that what they asked for should be done.

Luk 23:25

Luk 23:25He released him who had been thrown into prison for insurrection and murder, for whom they asked, but he delivered Yeshua up to their will.

Luk 23:26

Luk 23:26When they led him away, they grabbed one Shim`on of Cyrene, coming from the country, and laid on him the cross, to carry it after Yeshua.

Luk 23:27

Luk 23:27A great multitude of the people followed him, including women who also mourned and lamented him.

Luk 23:28

Luk 23:28But Yeshua, turning to them, said, "Daughters of Yerushalayim, don't weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.

Luk 23:29

Luk 23:36

Luk 23:36The soldiers also mocked him, coming to him and offering him vinegar,

Luk 23:40

Luk 23:40But the other answered, and rebuking him said, "Don't you even fear God, seeing you are under the same condemnation?

Luk 23:41

Luk 23:41And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward for our deeds, but this man has done nothing wrong."
