Sunday School Bible Studies

Having interrogated Jesus' privately, Pilate was satisfied with His answers so he took Him back out and told the Jews, "I find no fault in this Man at all." The Jews continued to insist that Jesus was guilty, Pilate knew Jesus was innocent and tried to find a way to release Him. This morning, we look at Jesus' interrogation by Herod, who returned Him to Pilate finiding no fault in Him; Pilate's offer to release Jesus instead of the murderer, Barabbas, but the people refused; Pilate's scourging of Jesus as a way of appeasing the Jews' desire to see Him punished; and finally, Pilate's final presentation of Jesus to the Jews, battered and bleeding, to show that He had been through enough, but the people put political pressure on the Roman governor, demaning that Jesus be taken away and crucified.
