Matthew 27:26

Matthew 27:26

24 When Pilate saw that he could not prevail at all, but rather that a¹ tumult was rising, he ^atook water and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, “I am innocent of the blood of this² just Person. You see to it.”

25 And all the people answered and said, ^a“His blood be on us and on our children.”

26 Then he released Barabbas to them; and when ^ahe had scourged Jesus, he delivered Him to be crucified.

The Soldiers Mock Jesus

27 ^aThen the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the¹ Praetorium and gathered the whole garrison around Him.

28 And they ^astripped Him and ^bput a scarlet robe on Him.

John Wesley's Notes

<< Matthew 27:25

Matthew 27:27 >>

He delivered him to be crucified - The person crucified was nailed to the cross as it lay on the ground, through each hand extended to the utmost stretch, and through both the feet together. Then the cross was raised up, and the foot of it thrust with a violent shock into a hole in the ground prepared for it. This shock disjointed the body, whose whole weight hung upon the nails, till the persons expired through mere dint of pain. This kind of death was used only by the Romans, and by them inflicted only on slaves and the vilest criminals.
