Vhd Version this statement is omitted from
m8,“ in verse 5 itmuls.‘ Jesus no
mustered anything." lie had confessed
privately to Pilate (John niil, 33-37) and
now publicly that lie was a king, but he has
now nothing more to say, and to the various
animations of the chic! priests 110 answers
nothing. Though there was II time when He
char-god ills disciples that they IIhoIdd tell no
man that 1.10 was the Christ (Matt. xvi, all»,
He had now clearly stated that lie was the
Christ, the King of the Jews (chap xiv, Ill,
cl, xv,'.'l. and He patiently awaited their
of Him, knowing well just what it
would be, for He had often foretold it.
(Cllapa will, 81; la, 81.; x, 33, 31.)
0-8. “Sow at that least he released unto
them one prisoner, whomsoever they desired."
Matt. xxvii. 15, says that this was his custom;
LII. xxiii, l7. says. “of nocemity he must re
lunatic unto them at the (8.151." Pilate had
already said to JIsus that lIehaIl power to
crucify and power to release.
ll. “Pilate answered them, saying, Will ya
that I release unto you the King of the Jews!"
Matt. nvli, 17, says that Pilate asked them
whether he should release Barabbas, or Jesus
who iscalled Christi By consulting a liar
away of tho Gospels it appears that Pilate
inter-coda] for Jesus and offered to set llim
free no Ian than seven times on this eventful
morning. this being the sixth time; thus put.-
ting tho responsibility of His death upon the
Jews. I'I'tA-r says that Pilate was determined
to let llim go (Acts iii. 13). Perhaps he
named llarabbas thinking that if it wu a
choice between Jesus and such II notable
criminal. they would surely choose Jesus, but
he knew neither their murderous hearts nor
the God of Love “'ho was overruling all
these things (Acts iv, 27. 28.)
10. ”He knew thut the chief priests had
delivered Him for envy.“ So Joseph was
hated and envied by his brethren, and Moses
was envied by Israel, (Gt‘ll. anvil, 8. 11;
Pa cvi. 16), “Wrath is cruel, and anger is
outrageous; but who isablo to stand before
envy?" (Prov. xxx-ii, 4.)
11. “But the chief priests moved the peo-
ple, that. he should rather release Barahbas
unto them." Matthew inserts here the ac-
count of the message of i’ilate‘s wife, in
which she weeks of her dream and urges her
husband to have nothing to do with that
jut man. (Matt. xxvii, 19.)
12. “What will ye then that I shall do
unto Kim} whom ye call the King of the
Jews!" Thisis Pilatc’s seventh intercession
on behalf of Jews. Matthew states his qucs
tionas, “What; shall Ido then with Jesus,
who is called Christi" Until this question is
satisfactorily answered by every teacher and
scholar, by every parent and child, there can
he no true peace of mind.
13» "And they cried out again, Crucify
Him.” According to Jewish law, if Jesus
was guilty of blasphemy,” they said, He
would have been stoned to death (Lev. xxiv,
10; hntin Pa xxii, 10, it was written. “they
my handst myfeet. "and inthis
aythat He should be crucified they were
unconsciously calling for a fulfillment of
Salmon; audas it waswritten that not a
