JESUS' TRIAL BEFORE PILATE AGAIN
(Message by Tanny Keng)
0. Introduction
a) Jesus' trial was actually a series of hearings, carefully controlled to accomplish the death of Jesus. The verdict was predecided, but certain "legal" procedures were necessary. A lot of effort went into condemning and crucifying an innocent man. Jesus went through an unfair trial in our place so that we would not have to face a fair trial and receive the well-deserved punishment for our sins.
1. Event
a) Trial before Pilate again.
2. Probable reasons
a) Pilate's last effort to avoid condemning an obviously innocent man.
3. Text references
a) Matthew 27:15-20
i) 15 Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to releasing to the multitude one prisoner whom they wished. 16 And at that time they had a notorious prisoner called Barabbas. 17 Therefore, when they had gathered together, Pilate said to them, “Whom do you want me to release to you? Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?” 18 For he knew that they had handed Him over because of envy. 19 While he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent to him, saying, “Have nothing to do with that just Man, for I have suffered many things today in a dream because of Him.” 20 But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitudes that they should ask for Barabbas and destroy Jesus. (Matthew 27:15-20 NKJV)
b) Other references
i) Mark 15:6-15
ii) Luke 23:13-25
iii) John 18:39-19:16
