Pilate and the teaching of Jesus—“There were present at that season some that told him \n of the Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. And Jesus \n answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the \n Galilaeans, because they suffered such things? I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye \n shall all likewise perish” (Luke 13:1-3). \n II. Pilate and the trials of Jesus \n A. The first trial (Matt. 27:2, 11-14; Mark 15:1-5; Luke 23:1-5; John 18:28-38) \n 1. The charges against Jesus \n a. The hypocrisy of the Jews—“Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas unto \n the hall of judgment: and it was early; and they themselves went not \n into the judgment hall, lest they should be defiled; but that they \n might eat the passover” (John 18:28). \n b. The hostility of the Jews—“Pilate then went out unto them, and said, \n What accusation bring ye against this man? They answered and said \n unto him, If he were not a malefactor, we would not have delivered \n him up unto thee. Then said Pilate unto them, Take ye him, and \n judge him according to your law. The Jews therefore said unto him, \n It is not lawful for us to put any man to death” (John 18:29-31). \n (1) They accused Jesus of subverting the nation (Luke 23:2a). \n (2) They accused Jesus of opposing payment of taxes to Caesar \n (Luke 23:2b). \n (3) They accused Jesus of claiming to be the Messiah and King \n (Luke 23:2c). \n 2. The conversation with Jesus \n a. Pilate learned about the King—“And Jesus stood before the \n governor: and the governor asked him, saying, Art thou the King of \n the Jews? And Jesus said unto him, Thou sayest. And when he was \n accused of the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing. Then \n said Pilate unto him, Hearest thou not how many things they \n witness against thee? And he answered him to never a word; \n insomuch that the governor marvelled greatly” (Matt. 27:11-14). \n b. Pilate learned about the kingdom—“Jesus answered, My kingdom is \n not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my \n servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is \n my kingdom not from hence. Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou \n a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this \n end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I \n should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth \n heareth my voice” (John 18:36-37).","bbox":{"left":0.082353,"top":0.063729,"width":0.834945,"height":0.8428199999999999}}],"images_bbox":[],"images_bbox_not_text_overlap":[]}
