THE GOSPEL OF MATTHEW
Part 77: The Political Trial of Jesus |
|
|
The Jewish religious leadership continued their
incessant accusations, hoping to make something stick with Pontius
Pilate. The governor listened to the baseless whining and sent Jesus
to Herod Antipas when he learned the God-man was from Galilee. The
Son of God gave him the silent treatment and Herod’s mood changed
from curiosity to contempt at the seemingly weak man standing in
front of him. Herod returned Jesus to Pilate and the Roman governor
questioned the God-man about his kingship, discovered Jesus’ kingdom
was spiritual in nature, and was not impressed with the bloody man
standing in front of him. Pilate recognized that Jesus was innocent,
but the ungodly Jews tenaciously continued to call for the Son of
God’s death. It was Pilate’s duty to see justice served, but he did
not want a rebellion and consented to their demands, publicly
washing his hands in a futile attempt to diminish his guilt. |
