THE TUSSLE BETWEEN PILATE AND THE COUNCIL MEMBERS

1. Pilate could have used his authority and power to release the Lord Jesus.

a. He had found no fault in Him.
b. He had not broken any laws.
c. He had not done any evil.

2. Instead, he chose to negotiate with the accusers.

a. He offered to chastise the Lord Jesus.
b. And then, release Him for He had done nothing worthy of condemnation.

3. He had reckoned wrongly.

a. There was no negotiation with these wicked people.
b. They insisted that he must bend to their demands!

THE DECISION OF PONTIUS PILATE

“But they were insistent, demanding with loud voices that He be crucified. And the voices of these men and of the chief priests prevailed. So Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they requested. And he released to them the one they requested, who for rebellion and murder had been thrown into prison; but he delivered Jesus to their will.”

Luke 23:23-25

1. The Sanhedrin Council Members.

a. They were insistent.
b. They made their demands with loud voices.
c. They demanded that the Lord Jesus be crucified.
d. Their voices prevailed!

2. The fateful decision of Pontius Pilate.

a. He released Barabbas to them.
i. He had been a rebel.
ii. He had also murdered. But he would now be pardoned.
b. He delivered the Lord Jesus to their will.
i. The Lord Jesus would be condemned by Rome.
ii. He would suffer crucifixion. This was truly a great irony.

经文:路加福音 23:23-25

彼拉多和公会成员的争议

1. 彼拉多可以使用自己的权柄和能力释放主耶稣

a. 他查不出祂有什么罪

b. 祂没有违反任何法律

c. 祂没有行恶

2. 但彼拉多却选择与那些指控耶稣的众人谈判

a. 他提出要责打主耶稣

b. 过后才释放祂,因为祂并没有做出任何值得被定罪的事

3. 他估计错了

a. 他根本无法和这些邪恶的人谈判

b. 他们坚持他必须顺应他们的要求!

彼拉多的决定

“他们大声催逼彼拉多,求他把耶稣钉在十字架上,他们的声音就得了胜。彼拉多这才照他们所求的定案,把他们所求的那作乱杀人下在监里的释放了,把耶稣交给他们,任凭他们的意思行。”

《路加福音 23:23-25》

1. 公会的成员

a. 他们很执着

b. 大声地催逼彼拉多

c. 他们要求把主耶稣钉在十字架上

d. 他们的声音得胜了

2. 彼拉多的重大决定

a. 他释放了巴拉巴

i. 巴拉巴在城里作乱

ii. 他也杀了人。但是他现在将被赦免

b. 他把主耶稣交给他们,任凭他们的意思行

i. 主耶稣被罗马定罪

ii. 祂将被钉在十字架。这确实是个极大的讽刺
