vw - Luke:22:66-23:25

vw@Luke:22:66 @ And as soon as it was day, the elders of the people, both chief priests and scribes, came together and led Him into their council, saying,

vw@Luke:22:67 @ If You are the Christ, tell us. But He said to them, If I tell you, you will by no means believe.

vw@Luke:22:68 @ And if I also ask you, you will by no means answer Me or let Me go.

vw@Luke:22:69 @ Hereafter the Son of Man will sit on the right hand of the power of God.

vw@Luke:22:70 @ Then they all said, Are You then the Son of God? And He said to them, You affirm that I AM.

vw@Luke:22:71 @ And they said, What further testimony do we need? For we have heard it ourselves from His own mouth.

vw@Luke:23:1 @ Then the whole multitude of them arose and led Him before Pilate.

vw@Luke:23:2 @ And they began to accuse Him, saying, We found this one perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying that He Himself is Christ, a King.

vw@Luke:23:3 @ Then Pilate asked Him, saying, Are You the King of the Jews? He answered him and said, It is as you say.

vw@Luke:23:4 @ So Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowd, I find no fault in this man.

vw@Luke:23:5 @ But they were the more insistent, saying, He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee to this place.

vw@Luke:23:6 @ When Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked if the Man were a Galilean.

vw@Luke:23:7 @ And as soon as he knew that He belonged to Herods jurisdiction, he sent Him to Herod, who was also in Jerusalem at that time.

vw@Luke:23:8 @ Now when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceedingly glad; for he had desired for a long time to see Him, because he had heard many things about Him, and he hoped to see some sign done by Him.

vw@Luke:23:9 @ Then he questioned Him with many words, but He answered him nothing.

vw@Luke:23:10 @ And the chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently accused Him.

vw@Luke:23:11 @ Then Herod, with his men of war, treated Him with contempt and mocked Him, arrayed Him in a gorgeous robe, and sent Him back to Pilate.

vw@Luke:23:12 @ And the same day Pilate and Herod became friends with each other, for previously they had been at enmity with each other.

vw@Luke:23:13 @ Then Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests, the rulers, and the people,

vw@Luke:23:14 @ said to them, You have brought this Man to me, as one who misleads the people. And indeed, having examined Him in your presence, I have found no fault in this Man concerning those things of which you accuse Him;

vw@Luke:23:15 @ no, neither did Herod, for I sent you back to him; and indeed nothing deserving of death has been done by Him.

vw@Luke:23:16 @ I will therefore chastise Him and release Him

vw@Luke:23:17 @ (for it was necessary for him to release one to them at the feast).

vw@Luke:23:18 @ And they all cried out at once, saying, Away with this Man, and release to us Barabbas;

vw@Luke:23:19 @ who had been thrown into prison for a certain rebellion made in the city, and for murder.

vw@Luke:23:20 @ Pilate, therefore, wishing to release Jesus, again called out to them.

vw@Luke:23:21 @ But they shouted, saying, Crucify Him, crucify Him!

vw@Luke:23:22 @ Then he said to them the third time, Why, what evil has He done? I have found no reason for death in Him. I will therefore chastise Him and let Him go.

vw@Luke:23:23 @ But they were insistent, demanding with loud voices that He be crucified. And the voices of these men and of the chief priests prevailed.

vw@Luke:23:24 @ So Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they requested.

vw@Luke:23:25 @ And he released to them the one they requested, who for rebellion and murder had been thrown into prison; but he delivered Jesus to their will.
