Subject: .Tesus Before Pilate, Lok< xxiii., 13-25?Golden Text, JjnK< xxiii., 4?Memory Verses, 20, 2J -?Commentary. I. Pilate endeavors to release Jesu: (vs. 13-17). 13. "Pilate." Pontius Pilate belonged to an .vcient anc knightly Roman family. "Called to gether." Pilate summons the rulers and the people. 14. "As one thai pervertetb." As one that has taughl doctrines injurious to your religion "Having examined." At the firsl trial he had heard all that could be brought against Him. "No fault.' They had failed to prove a single charge. 15. "Nor yet Herod." Christ had traveled extensively in Galilee and yet Herod brings no charge. "He sent Him back un'o us" (R. V.) This i' volved a distinct ?cquittal. "Ih done unto Him." "Nothing worthj of death hath been done by Him.'.'? R. V. 16. "Cha^'.=e Him." John says that Pilate took Jesus and scourged Him; but this was not clone until a little later. "And release Kim.*' Pilate hop id that wien they says Jesus scourged they would be satisfied, but not so; they were clamoring for His blood, and nothing short ol r* -fV* at? q r%r*r\eo eaffhfln* ? VU WU c* \-l\JQB TTVU1U VUCUI. 17. "Must release one." This verse is omitted in the Revised Version. But see tne parallel accounts. II. The clamo s of the Jews (vs. 18-23). 18. "They cried out." The chief priests moved the people (Marfa 15:11). "Barabbas." An insurrectionist, a robber and a murderer. 3 9. "Sedition." Insurrection, Matthew says he was a celebrated prisoner. In some manuscripts he ca.led Jesus Baraboas. 20. "Willing to release-asus." It was probable at this time that the me -*nL>er cauie from Pilate's wife (Matt. 2T: 19) urging the release of Jesus. Pilate repeated the proposal of verse 16. ? 21. "Crucify Him." Let Hizn die the most ignominious death possible. Had the Jews credited Him according tc their law against faise prophets and blasphemers they would .re stoned Him, as they repeatedly attempted to do, and as they did vith Stephen. His prophecy of crucifixion was practically a prophecy that He should be put to death, as He actually was, on a charge of high treason against the Roman government. It can hardly be supposed that these people who were crying, "Crucify Him," were the same people who had brought Jesus into the city the Sunday before with shoutB of hosanna. This was a Jewish mob urged on by the authorities; that was no doubt largely a Galilean crowd. 22. "What evil hath He done." How many and what various persons bear testimony to the innocence of the Holy One ? Pilate, Herod, Pilate's wife, the thief on the cross, and the centurion at the crucifixion. "And let Him go.M Pilate is laboring hard to release Him; he could'have ended this whole matter with one word. It was at this juncture that Pilate asked, What shall I do then with Jesus, which ia called Christ? This Is a question every person must answer. 1. Every person must accept TT" n T? or reject rum. vmio? is the great sin of the world. 3; If we reject Him here we shall be rejected by Him hereafter. 23. "Instant." Insistent, urgent. "Prevailed." The reason why he finally yielded seems to have been the one given in John 19.12, "If thou let this man go, thou art not Caesar's friend." But Pilate gained nothing even with Caesar, for he was soon recalled, degraded and banished to Gaul, where he committed suicide. III. Pilate pronounces til# death sentence (vs. 24, 25). 24j\>"PlIate gave sentence." Before Pitotoipronounced the sentence he tyopk water and washed his hands puMtely, tlras expressing in acts what he uttered in words, "i am innocent of the blood of this just person; see ye to it* (Mitt 27:24). The people accept tha fteponsibility and cry. "His blood boon us, and on our children.'' That blood was upon them, not as vengeance but as a natural consequence of theii conduct. Within forty years the qffcr was destroyed amid scenes of crooJij which defy description. No histofj can furnish us with a parallel to tlU calamities and miseries of the Jewt at that time. There was rapine, intir der, famine, pestilence and all the horrors of war. The account gfrei Kir Tnc/inliiie Jo licarf-ron/lincy again ascends the judgment seat which was set up in a raised placfc ir the open square, and delivers his Una decree. 25. "He delivered Jesutfc their will." Jesus is now mockapjftt third time, about 8 o'clock, Fridac morning, in the court of. Pilate'i>p?d ace. See Matt. 27:26-30;-Mari^P* 15-19; John 19:1-3. When Jeso#^ brought out before them, Pilat makes one last effort to release (John 19:4-15). Now it is thifct.h' permits Jesus to be scourged, hoplu, that Vill satisfy them; but the icryl fltill, "Crucify Him," and He Is talre. back into the court and His( ffir clothes are put unon Him. It at this time that Pilate said, "Balrol< the man!" And well may w6 sto and behold Him. He was "a man c<. sorrows, ana acqnamtea wun gner* (Isa. 53:3). In Him we see a perfect exhibition of meekness and "ove and a perfect example for us to follow. .He was the God-man and as such made the great atdnement for the redemption of mankind. There's a deal of difference between using the Bible as a text-book of life and as a book of texts. Uses 500,000,000 Matches a Day. Estimate is made by a British newspaper that the United Kingdom consumes* 500,000,000 matches a day, or about twelve for every man, woman and child. Smokers probably account for the greater number. About ninety tons of wood are used up in tne rorm oe maicnes every nay, or about 35,000 tons a year. Sweden and Norway export more than 25,000 tons of wood in matches every year. In France, where the tax on matches averages eight cents an inhabitant, the consumption is comparatively small. Marvellons Automobile Speed. The result of the automobile race over the Ardennes course, in France, proved a decided sensation. Duray, HHviiifi- a De Dietrich, accomplished wonders with his machine. His time for 595 kilometres was five hours thirty-eight minutes and thirtv-nlne seconds, an average of sixty-six and a quarter miles an hour. Census of Apple Trees.
