N.T. in a year reading & study, verses R paraphrased [ ] references { } thots
☀️ (The gospels as two six month readings means there is some repetitiveness.) 11 - Herod and his soldiers mocked Jesus, and were treating him with contempt. Then they arrayed him in kingly clothing and Herod sent him back to Pilate. 12 Herod and Pilate became friends that very day, when before this they had been hostile with one another. {The spirit of Jesus prevailing even then, in this strange historic example.}
13 Then Pilate called together the people and the rulers {the} leading priests {the political rulers were priests, so called religious wars were usually not religious but political} 14 and said to them, “You brought me this man as one who is misleading the people. And after interrogating him, I haven’t found him to be guilty of any of your charges. 15 Neither did Herod, for he sent him back here. Look, nothing deserving death has been done by him! 16 Therefor I’ll punish him and release him.” 18 But they all cried out, “Away with this man! Release to us Barabbas!” 19 This was a man who was in prison for murder during an insurrection. 20 Pilate addressed them once more, wanting to release Jesus (it was a Rome granted favor each Passover, to release someone to them). 21 But they kept shouting, “Crucify! Crucify him!” 22 A third time he said, “Why? What has he done? I have found in him nothing deserving of death. I will therefore punish and release him.” 23 But they were vehement, demanding with loud cries that he should be crucified/executed. And their voices {of incited hysteria and hatred} prevailed.
