路加福音 23:4-5 RCUVSS

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 23:4-12

The majesty of meekness, etc. Beautiful in the last degree, as a moral spectacle, is the sight of the meek but mighty Savior in the presence of the scornful human sovereign. But there are many lessons which we may gather on our way to that striking scene. I. HOW PITIFUL HUMAN AUTHORITY MAY PROVE TO BE ! Poor Pilate, occupying his high seat of authority and power, is "driven with the wind and tossed," as if he were a leaf upon the ground. He "finds no fault in Jesus" ( ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 23:5

And they were the more fierce, saying, He stirreth up the people, teaching throughout all Jewry, beginning from Galilee to this place. On hearing the Roman governor's declaration that in his opinion the Prisoner was innocent, the Sanhedrists became more vehement, repeating with increased violence their accusation that Jesus had been for a long time past a persistent stirrer-up of sedition, not only here in the city, but in the northern districts of Galilee. read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Luke 23:4

I find no fault - I see no evidence that he is guilty of what you charge him with. This was after Pilate had taken Jesus into the judgment-hall by himself and examined him “privately,” and had been satisfied in regard to the nature of his kingdom. See John 18:33-38. He was “then” satisfied that though he claimed to be “a king,” yet his kingdom was not of this world, and that “his” claims did not interfere with those of Caesar. read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Luke 23:5

The more fierce - The more urgent and pressing. They saw that there was a prospect of losing their cause, and they attempted to press on Pilate the point that would be most likely now to affect him. Pilate had, in fact, acquitted him of the charge of being an enemy to Caesar, and they, therefore, urged the other point more vehemently.Stirreth up the people - Excites them to tumult and sedition.All Jewry - All Judea.From Galilee to this place - To Jerusalem - that is, throughout the whole... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Luke 23:4-9

Luke 23:4-9. Then said Pilate After having heard his defence. See on Matthew 27:11-14; and Mark 15:2-5. I find no fault in this man I do not find that he either attempts or asserts any thing injurious to Cesar. And they were the more fierce The priests were not disconcerted or abashed by the public declaration, which the governor, in obedience to conscience and truth, made of the prisoner’s innocence; for they persisted in their accusations with more vehemence than before, affirming... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Luke 23:1-12

155. Before Pilate and Herod (Matthew 27:11-14; Mark 15:2-5; Luke 23:1-12; John 18:28-38)Pilate, the governor of the area, usually lived in the provincial capital Caesarea, but he came to Jerusalem during Jewish festivals to help maintain order. His official residence and administration centre in Jerusalem was called the praetorium. The Jewish leaders, wanting to have Jesus dealt with and out of the way before the festival started, took him to Pilate early in the morning (Luke 23:1; John... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 23:4

And Pilate said unto the chief priests and the multitudes, I find no fault in this man.This is another effort of Pilate to avoid condemning Jesus, there having been at least seven of these in all. See my Commentary on Matthew, Matthew 27:13-24. This was the point at which Pilate should have dismissed the charges, called out the soldiers in the tower of Antonio, and dismissed the mob; but in the meantime he had a brilliant idea, prompted by what the Sanhedrinists next said. See under Luke 23:5. read more
