Luke 23:1-46 BSB

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 23:3

And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answered him and said, Thou sayest.Luke's record, like all of the Gospels, omits some things found in the others and includes some things not found in the others, the only proper understanding of such records being found in the composite record of all four Gospels.As Spence noted, the very first thing Pilate did was to attempt an avoidance of condemning Jesus, or even judging him at all."Take ye him, and judge him according to... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 23:4

And Pilate said unto the chief priests and the multitudes, I find no fault in this man.This is another effort of Pilate to avoid condemning Jesus, there having been at least seven of these in all. See my Commentary on Matthew, Matthew 27:13-24. This was the point at which Pilate should have dismissed the charges, called out the soldiers in the tower of Antonio, and dismissed the mob; but in the meantime he had a brilliant idea, prompted by what the Sanhedrinists next said. See under Luke 23:5. read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 23:5

But they were the more urgent, saying, He stirreth up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, and beginning from Galilee even unto this place.Stirreth up the people ... had, in context, connotations of sedition and was as false as all the other charges. Again and again, Jesus had carefully avoided arousing any inordinate enthusiasm of the people.Galilee ... That was the word that caught Pilate's attention, giving him what he hoped would be a means of avoiding responsibility. read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 23:6

But when Pilate heard it, he asked whether the man were a Galilean. And when he knew that he was of Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him unto Herod, who himself also was at Jerusalem in these days.Tinsley, after observing that this incident appears only in Luke, said, "Some scholars have doubted whether this trial before Herod ever took place.[5] It may be assumed that Tinsley is among that group of scholars. However, such opinions lose their force when it is recalled that "some scholars" deny... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 23:8

Now when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad: for he was a long time desirous to see him, because he had heard concerning him; and he hoped to see some miracle done by him.Luke alone recorded the "friendly" warning of the Pharisees to Jesus that "Herod would fain kill thee" (Luke 13:31); and it was fully in keeping with Luke's thoroughness and dependability as a historian that he should have included this incident, proving, absolutely, that the Pharisees who thus addressed Jesus were lying.... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 23:9

And he questioned him in many words; but he answered him nothing. And the chief priests and the scribes stood, vehemently accusing him.The false charges of the Jewish leaders were so obviously impossible of being true that the Lord did not need to say anything: and, in addition to that, the known character of Herod was such that it would have been an unnecessary waste on the part of Jesus to have honored any of his questions with a reply. read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 23:11

And Herod with his soldiers set him at naught, and mocked him, and arraying him in gorgeous apparel sent him back to Pilate.Herod's conduct in this episode suggests what many in all ages have done with regard to Jesus; they have set him at naught. Herod, in the false security afforded by his palatial residence, his bodyguard of soldiers, his wealth and human eminence, saw nothing in the lowly Jesus that he should either honor or respect; but ironically, that evil man's place in history is due... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 23:12

And Herod and Pilate became friends with each other that very day: for before they were at enmity between themselves.Cause of the enmity is not known, but it is commonly believed to have been Pilate's slaying of the Galileans mentioned in Luke 13:1-2. It was Pilate's civility and deference to Herod which healed the breach.[7]It has often been noted that old enemies often become friends when there is a common opportunity to wound the Lord in the person of his followers.In this whole episode,... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 23:13

And Pilate called together the chief priests and the rulers of the people, and said unto them, Ye brought unto me this man as one that perverteth the people: and behold, I, having examined him before you, found no fault in this man touching those things whereof ye accused him: no, nor yet Herod: for he sent him back unto us; and behold, nothing worthy of death hath been done by him. I will therefore chastise him, and release him.In the last sentence of this passage is the shameful injustice of... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 23:17

Now he must needs release unto them at the feast one prisoner. But they cried out all together, saying, Away with this man, and release unto us Barabbas.Luke 23:17 (the first sentence) has been removed from the text on sufficient grounds; but it is true nevertheless, being valuable as a commentary. The full teaching of this omitted verse is found in John 18:39, where its authenticity cannot be denied. Spence commented that:As a Hebrew custom, it is never mentioned save in this place. Such a... read more
