Pilate's role was to maintain order and justice, yet he found himself pressured by the Jewish leaders and the crowd. The title "Christ" signifies the anointed one, the Messiah, which indicates that Jesus was recognized by some as the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies (e.g., Isaiah 53, Daniel 9:25-26). Pilate's question reflects his uncertainty and the political tension of the moment, as he was aware of Jesus' innocence (Matthew 27:18) but also wary of the potential for unrest. Pilate asked. They all answered, “Crucify Him!” Persons / Places / Events 1. Pontius PilateThe Roman governor of Judea who presided over the trial of Jesus. He is depicted as a conflicted leader, caught between his own judgment and the demands of the crowd. 2. Jesus, who is called Christ The central figure of Christianity, believed to be the Messiah and the Son of God. In this passage, He stands before Pilate, facing the decision of His fate. 3.

Teaching Points The Dilemma of PilatePilate's question, "What then should I do with Jesus, who is called Christ?" reflects a universal question of personal responsibility and decision regarding Jesus. Each person must decide how they will respond to Jesus' identity and claims. The Influence of the Crowd The crowd's demand to crucify Jesus illustrates the danger of succumbing to peer pressure and societal influence, rather than standing firm in truth and justice. Prophecy Fulfilled The events of Jesus' trial and crucifixion fulfill Old Testament prophecies, affirming the reliability of Scripture and God's sovereign plan. The Cost of Discipleship Following Jesus may require standing against popular opinion and enduring persecution, as seen in the crowd's rejection of Him. The Nature of True Justice Pilate's failure to administer true justice serves as a reminder of the importance of integrity and righteousness in leadership and personal conduct.(22) Let him be crucified.--It may be noted that this was the first direct intimation of the mode of death to which the priests destined their prisoner. It was implied, indeed, in their fixed resolve to make the Roman governor the executioner of their sentence, as shown in the dialogue recorded by St. John (John 18:31); but now the cry came from the multitude, as the result, we may believe, of the promptings described in Matthew 27:20, "Crucify Him!"--punish Him as the robber and the rebel are punished.Verse 22. - It was with disappointment and indignation that Pilate heard the rabble's decision. He could not refuse to release the robber and murderer; but he still entertained some hope of a better feeling in the crowd which would allow him to acquit Jesus. What shall I do then with Jesus? Τί οϋν ποιήσω Ἰησοῦν; What then shall I do to Jesus? As you demand the release of Barabbas, what am I to do with the other prisoner? He dared not act boldly, as his conscience and the justice of the ease dictated; if the popular voice was not with him, he would take no open step. He added, which is called Christ, or, according to Mark, "whom ye call the King of the Jews," in scorn of the title itself, and of the fickleness which honoured him one day and now clamored for his destruction. Let him be crucified! They have their dreadful answer ready. He is a political offender; he is a mover of sedition against the Roman supremacy; let him meet the punishment to which Rome dooms her lowest criminals and runagates. This was the death which Christ had foretold for himself (ch. 20:19), the most painful, barbarous, and ignominious punishment which the cruelty of man ever invented. Parallel Commentaries ...
