As soon as the chief priests and officers saw Him The chief priests and officers were part of the Jewish religious leadership and temple guard. Their immediate reaction upon seeing Jesus highlights their determination to eliminate Him. This reflects the fulfillment of prophecies such as Psalm 2:2, where rulers take counsel against the Lord's Anointed. The religious leaders' hostility towards Jesus had been building throughout His ministry, as He challenged their authority and exposed their hypocrisy (Matthew 23). they shouted, “Crucify Him! Crucify Him!” “You take Him and crucify Him,” Pilate replied “for I find no basis for a charge against Him.” Persons / Places / Events 1. Chief Priests and OfficersReligious leaders and temple guards who were instrumental in the arrest and trial of Jesus. They represent the Jewish authority that opposed Jesus. 2. Pilate The Roman governor of Judea who presided over the trial of Jesus. He is depicted as reluctant to condemn Jesus, finding no fault in Him. 3.

Teaching Points The Injustice of ManThe trial of Jesus highlights the failure of human justice systems. Despite Pilate's acknowledgment of Jesus' innocence, political and social pressures led to an unjust verdict. This serves as a reminder of the fallibility of human judgment and the need for divine justice. The Fulfillment of Prophecy Jesus' crucifixion was not a random act of violence but a fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies. This underscores the sovereignty of God and His plan for redemption through Jesus. The Role of Religious Leaders The chief priests and officers, who should have recognized the Messiah, instead called for His crucifixion. This warns against the dangers of religious pride and the importance of aligning religious practice with true faith. Pilate's Dilemma Pilate's reluctance to condemn Jesus, despite knowing His innocence, reflects the moral compromises people often make under pressure. It challenges believers to stand firm in truth, even when it is unpopular or difficult. The Call to Crucify The crowd's demand to crucify Jesus is a stark reminder of humanity's capacity for sin and rejection of God. It calls Christians to examine their own hearts and ensure they are not rejecting Christ in their lives.(6) When the chief priests therefore and officers saw him.--Comp. John 18:3. The spectacle, so far from moving their pity, excites their passionate hatred, and they frustrate any other cry which may arise by that of "Crucify Him!" (Comp. Matthew 27:22.) Take ye him, and crucify him: for I find no fault in him.--Comp. Notes on John 18:31; John 18:38. "Crucify Him," the words mean, "if you dare to do so; there is no charge on which I can condemn Him; and I will be no party to your act." Verse 6. - When then the chief priests and the officers saw him, they stifled every movement of possible sympathy by "loud harsh cries" (ἐκραύγασαν). They cried out, Crucify, crucify him! Scourging and mockery do not meet the case, nor exhaust the curse and the verdict they have already pronounced. He must die the doom of the vilest. He must be done to death as a slave. Pilate saith unto them, certainly not granting to them permission to take the law into their hands, irrespective of the Praetorian court and against his will, but in angry sarcasm, and with an unconcealed threat, Take him, ye yourselves, and crucify; that is, if you dare. Go, do your deed of blood by your own hands, take all the responsibility; for I find no crime in him. Pilate thus derides their powerlessness, and repeats his verdict of acquittal (see John 18:31). At this moment the so-called trial might have ended, so far as Pilate was concerned, with a frank and immediate release. It would seem as though the governor had decided, and there could be no more discussion. But -Parallel Commentaries ... Greek As soon asὍτε (Hote) Adverb Strong's 3753: When, at which time.
