for this Sunday
Luke 23:13-25
Jesus Sentenced to Death
Pilate
then called together the chief priests, the leaders, and the
people, and said to them, ‘You brought me this man as one who
was perverting the people; and here I have examined him in your
presence and have not found this man guilty of any of your charges
against him. Neither has Herod, for he sent him back to us. Indeed,
he has done nothing to deserve death. I will therefore have him
flogged and release him.’
Then
they all shouted out together, ‘Away with this fellow! Release
Barabbas for us!’ (This was a man who had been put in prison
for an insurrection that had taken place in the city, and for
murder.) Pilate, wanting to release Jesus, addressed them
again; but they kept shouting, ‘Crucify, crucify him!’ A
third time he said to them, ‘Why, what evil has he done? I have
found in him no ground for the sentence of death; I will therefore
have him flogged and then release him.’
But they kept urgently
demanding with loud shouts that he should be crucified; and their
voices prevailed. So Pilate gave his verdict that their demand
should be granted. He released the man they asked for, the one
who had been put in prison for insurrection and murder, and he handed
Jesus over as they wished.
