Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you....

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven. How that sentence must have come with the vividness of a lightning flash before their faces! What a declaration of power from One who stood there bound before his enemies,...

Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard his blasphemy. What think ye?

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
, Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard his blasphemy, What think ye? He looks round upon the seventy elders of the people who were sitting there in the great council, and “They answered and said, He is guilty of death:.” Probably Joseph of...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
They answered and said, He is guilty of death. Then did they spit in his face, and buffeted him; and others smote him with the palms of their hands, Saying, prophesy unto us, thou Christ, Who is he that smote thee? This ended the regular ecclesiastical trial of Christ. A little time was spent, before Pilate, the judicial ruler, was ready to see...

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Now at that feast the governor was wont to release unto the people a prisoner, whom they would. And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas. Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, Whom will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus which is called Christ? For he knew that for envy they had delivered him....
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ? They all say unto him, Let him be crucified. And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified. A blind, unreasoning hate had taken possession of the people. They gave no answer to Pilate’s wondering enquiry,...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye to it. Ah, Pilate, you cannot rid yourself of responsibility by that farce! He who has power to prevent a wrong is guilty of the act if he permits...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children. All the people willingly took upon themselves the guilt of the murder of our dear Lord: “His blood be on us, and on our children.” This fearful imprecation must have been remembered by many when the soldiers of Titus spared neither age nor sex, and the Jewish capital...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified. Why scourge him before delivering him up to be crucified? Surely this was a superfluity of cruelty. The Roman scourging was something which I scarcely care to describe, one of the most terrible punishments to which anyone could be subjected; yet...

Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall, and gathered unto him the whole band of soldiers. And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe. Some old soldier’s coat, that they found lying about, they cast upon Christ in imitation of the royal robes of Caesar or Herod.

Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall, and gathered unto him the whole band of soldiers. And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe. And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of...

And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews! And they spit upon him, and took the reed, and smote him on the head. And after that they had mocked him, they took the robe off from him, and put his own raiment...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And after that they had mocked him, they took the robe off from him, and put his own raiment on him, and led him away to crucify him. Perhaps they were afraid that he would die from sheer exhaustion and so, with a cruel mercy, they would keep him alive for the infliction of further tortures.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And after that they had mocked him, they took the robe off from him, and put his own raiment on him, and led him away to crucify him. Their action, in restoring to him his own seamless robe, was overruled by God,-whatever their motive may have been,-so that nobody might say that some other person had been substituted for the Saviour. He went forth...

And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled to bear his cross. And methinks that he must have been a glad man to have such an honour thrust upon him, yet you need not envy...

And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled to bear his cross. Any one of us might well have wished to have been Simon, yet we need not envy him. There is a cross for every one who is a follower of the Crucified; may we have grace to carry it after him!
