Luke 23:24
Gave sentence (epekrinen). Pronounced the final sentence. The usual verb for the final decision. Only here in the N.T.
22 Then he said to them the third time, “Why, what evil has He done? I have found no reason for death in Him. I will therefore chastise Him and let Him go.”
23 But they were insistent, demanding with loud voices that He be crucified. And the voices of these men1 and of the chief priests prevailed.
24 So aPilate gave sentence that it should be as they requested.
25 aAnd he released1 to them the one they requested, who for rebellion and murder had been thrown into prison; but he delivered Jesus to their will.
The King on a Cross
26 aNow as they led Him away, they laid hold of a certain man, Simon a Cyrenian, who was coming from the country, and on him they laid the cross that he might bear it after Jesus.
27 And a great multitude of the people followed Him, and women who also mourned and lamented Him.
