V.1-3
Punched, beaten and mocked (v.1-3)
Pilate found nothing wrong with Jesus, so he has Jesus flogged or scourged in the hope that the Jaws will be ok with that as a punishment.
Jesus was scourged
Its a form of punishment
to beat with a whip
its a horrific beating that is accompanied with other forms a punishment
whip description
our Lord was beaten
we don’t know how many lashes Jesus got, but we know that it was not more then 40
Think of a completely innocent man Our Lord being whipped for nothing.
then...
Then the soldiers made a crown of thorns
This is under Pilate, the Romans performed this act.
They are treating Jesus as if He is a convicted felon.
It is believed that the thorns were that of a date palm thorn.
***photos of the thorns***
lets look at something....
Isn’t it amazing that one of the results of sin, (thorns) came because of sin, has been placed as a crown on His head .
Then try gave Him a purple (which could have been a old dirty purple rag) Purple being the color that represents royalty.
They mocked Him saying “Hail, King of the Jews!”
While slapping Him in the face.
complete mockery and disrespect.
Presentation (v.4-5)
Pilate again, does not have a problem with Jesus,
its fair to think that he was going to bring Jesus out so that the Jews would see the beating, and the mocking that they may change there mind,.
after all, it is the Romans beating a Jew (the Jews don’t like the Romans)
and Barabbas was about to be released to them
So Jesus comes out, beaten, the crown of thorns and the rob.
He faces this angry mob
v. 6
What the Jews wanted (v.6)
The Jewish elite did not care, but yelled for Jesus to be crucified.
at this point the crowd is in a uproar also
for it teaches in Mark…..
Pilate says that he does not find any guilt in Him, He does not want to have Jesus crucified
also during this time Pilate is getting a message from His wife
So Pilate is confused.
Unsure
v.7
This is another attempt by the Jew to convince Pilate.
They accused Jesus of blasphemy, which is a law that is also under the Roman law.
The Jews want Him dead because He said He is God
The Romans believe that Caesar is God
So Pilate is in a rough situation
if He does not handle this situation He could upset the Jews and upset Rome.
v. 8-10
a concerned leader (v.8-10)
Pilate has his wife, the upset crowd, a weak leadership status , worried about being reported to Caesar
Pilate is at a cross road (what do I do???)
So Pilate asks Him who are you?
Jesus does not answer
SO Pilate tells Jesus of his authority,
God is in Control
v. 11
Jesus states a fact as well as (in a way) give Pilate comfort.
Pilate is in control of nothing.
Without the power of God, no one can move a finger.
Jesus is saying that the Pilate is nothing in comparison to the Jews that had the truth and rejected it and handed Him over to be killed.
v.12
The guilty ones (v.12)
Pilate does not want to have Jesus crucified
He is being pulled socially, politically and personally
the Bible says he (searched out and was anxious about ) ways he can release Jesus.
but the jews pulled on what Pilate was concerned about.
His relationship with Caesar
the Jews to manipulate him by saying that He is not a friend to Caesar
Plus if Caesar is a king/god Jesus is oppose to Caesar.
pilate is confused
v. 13-14
a complex leader (v13-14)
Pilate is under pressure
its not the 6 hour, the day before the passover.
During this time try would be starting to kill lambs for the passover.
v.15
The Jews claim there king (v.15)
We see the sad truth,
The Jews dont want Jesus.
By them saying they have no king but Caesar............
Had politics become your god????
Jesus Crucified
v.16-18
John does not go into detail of the horrors of the cross
When we know about this here, is that Jesus is the Lamb of God, the sacrifice for our sin.
photo of the places.
He was led out of the city and lifted up on the cross, for everyone to see.
on this mount.
There would later find a ram to sacrifice, not a lamb.
But now the Lamb is here!!!
We see prophecy being accomplished.
(John 1:29)
On this very mount where Abraham was going to sacrifice his son, Jesus is the right sacrifice for us all.
V. 19-22
When someone was crucified, normally a post was written on who it was and there crime.
Pilate wrote Jesus, King of the Jews
the Jews had issue with this
But Pilate didn’t change what He wrote.
lets look at the law of old.
the sacrifice , who blood would be shed for sin, is to be taken out of the city (Leviticus 6:30, 16:27)
and anyone who hung on a tree is under God’s curse (Dt 21:23)
