• • Pilate said to them, "What shall I do with Jesus who is call Christ?"
• They all said to him, "Let Him be crucified!"
• Then the governor said, "Why, what evil has he done?"
• But they cried out all the more saying, "Let Him be crucified!"
• When Pilate saw he could not prevail…he took water and washed his hands before the multitude saying, "I am innocent of the blood of this Person. You see to it."
• And all the people answered and said, "His blood be on us and on our children."
• Then he released Barabbas to them; and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered Him to be crucified.
• Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus…twisted a crown of thorns and put it on His head…mocked Him…spit upon Him…struck Him on the head…and led Him away to be crucified. Then they put a sign over His head: THIS IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS. In the end the soldiers said: Truly this was the Son of God.
• Prayer: Heavenly Father, let these Words bring to our hearts an understanding of the cost of our salvation. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
