What to do with Jesus
Apr 20, 2025 • Joe Schwenk
In Matthew 27:11-26, Jesus is tried before Pilate, accused of claiming to be King of the Jews. Despite Pilate's recognition of His innocence, the crowd demands His crucifixion, swayed by the chief priests and elders. Pilate symbolically washes his hands of responsibility, releases Barabbas, and hands Jesus over to be crucified. This moment underscores themes of injustice and prophecy fulfillment.
