Commentaries

Matthew Henry's Commentary

23:13-25 The fear of man brings many into this snare, that they will do an unjust thing, against their consciences, rather than get into trouble. Pilate declares Jesus innocent, and has a mind to release him; yet, to please the people, he would punish him as an evil-doer. If no fault be found in him, why chastise him? Pilate yielded at length; he had not courage to go against so strong a stream. He delivered Jesus to their will, to be crucified.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown

Lu 23:13-38. Jesus Again before Pilate—Delivered Up—Led Away to Be Crucified.
