Again, Jesus refuses to claim who he is -- he is satisfied letting what others say about him and his actions speak for him (Luke 23:1-4).
1. Is Jesus just playing a game with Pilate?
2. Why do you think that Jesus refuses to say who he is?
Pilate finds out Jesus is from Galilee and sends him to King Herod (23: 6-12)
1. I find it fascinating that Herod is glad to see Jesus because he has heard so much about him.
2. Why do they have such contempt for Jesus?
3. A fascinating note that Herod and Pilate bond as friends over their shared experience with Jesus (23:12).
Pilate seems to try and find a way to release Jesus, but the crowds demand to crucify Jesus (23: 13-25).
As Jesus goes to be crucified, he speaks to the women weeping. His comments are rather cryptic. What do you think he is trying to tell them (23:28-31)?
An interesting description of of Joseph, who will bury Jesus' body (23: 50).
