Luke 23:8-31

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Luke 23:1-56

And the whole multitude of them arose, and they led him unto Pilate. And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this fellow perverting the nation and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, and saying that he himself is Christ [or the Messiah,] a king ( Luke 23:1-2 )Now notice, their accusation against Him was blasphemy, "You're saying You're the Son of God." When they brought Him to Pilate to accuse Him before Pilate, they didn't make that charge at all before Pilate. Why? Because they knew... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Luke 23:1-56

Luke 23:12 . The same day Pilate and Herod were made friends. This occurrence is quoted in Acts 4:27, as an accomplishment of the prophecy in the second psalm. Luke 23:22 . He said to them the third time I have found no cause of death in him. Then Pilate was thrice weak, and thrice wicked, to condemn him to the cross. He was unworthy of any comparison with Gallio, who drove away the jews, and would be no judge of their questions. Luke 23:43 . To-day shalt thou be with me in paradise.... read more

Luke 23:8-12When Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding gladDivine reserve; or, Christianity in relation to our mental moodsI.THAT ALL SUBJECTS REVEAL THEMSELVES ACCORDING TO THE MENTAL MOOD IN WHICH THEY ARE EXAMINED. That which is looked for, is found or thought to be found. The same person or principle examined through the respective media of sympathy and antipathy, will reveal aspects the most different. It is of vital importance to remember this fact in all our investigations of creeds, or... read more

Luke 23:18Release unto us BarabbasBarabbas or Christ?We speak of the choice in the Lord’s passion, which is--I. A SIGN OF THE LORD’S GRACE AND PATIENCE. II. A SIGN OF THE PEOPLE’S DEEP SHAME AND GUILT. 1. It was six o’clock in the morning. Conscience-smitten, as never before, Pilate perceives the mob--the Lord in their midst, with a white garment, and the crown of thorns on His head--returning from Herod, and approaching his palace. “Suffered under Pontius Pilate”--thus it runs in our... read more

Luke 23:25He delivered Jesus to their will--The illegal trial and condemnation of our LordI.THE TRIAL OF CHRIST FOR HIS LIFE WAS MANAGED MOST MALICIOUSLY AND ILLEGALLY AGAINST HIM, BY HIS UNRIGHTEOUS JUDGES. 1. Was Christ thus used when He stood before the great Council, the Scribes and Elders of Israel? Then surely great men are not always wise, neither do the aged understand judgment. (Job 32:9.) 2. Hence also we learn, that though we are not obliged to answer every captious, idle, or... read more

Luke 23:26Simon, a SyrenianThe Cross-bearerThere is a series of very beautiful pictures in the cathedral at Antwerp, which represent Christ hearing His cross from the Praetorium to Calvary.These pictures embody the popular idea of Christ’s weakness and exhaustion. In one He stands calm and erect, in another He is bending under the weight of the cross, and in another He has fallen beneath the load that was laid upon Him. It is at this stage of the proceedings that Simon, who is passing by, is... read more

Luke 23:27-31Daughters of JerusalemThe daughters of JerusalemI.WHY DID THE DAUGHTERS OF JERUSALEM WEEP? 1. He was innocent. All they had heard about Him was favourable. 2. He was benevolent. His gifts were uncommon and priceless. Wherever He went, He left behind Him the footprint of mercy. 3. He was the hope of the people. The glory had departed; the land was under a curse, and the people groaned under the Roman yoke. But Jesus, although opposed to every public demonstration in His favour, had,... read more

8 And when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad: for he was desirous to see him of a long season , because he had heard many things of him; and he hoped to have seen some miracle done by him.

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Luke 23:9

9 Then he questioned with him in many words; but he answered him nothing. Ver. 9. But he answered him nothing ] Princes use to correct the indecencies of ambassadors by denying them audience, as if silence were the way royal to revenge a wrong. Christ spoke not a word to Herod (saith one), because Herod had taken away his voice by beheading the Baptist, who was vox clamantis a shouting voice. read more
