Luke 23:13-25
Pilate called together the chief priests, the rulers and the people, and said to them, “You brought me this man as one who was inciting the people to rebellion. I have examined him in your presence and have found no basis for your charges against him. Neither has Herod, for he sent him back to us; as you can see, he has done nothing to deserve death. Therefore, I will punish him and then release him.”
But the whole crowd shouted, “Away with this man! Release Barabbas to us!”
But with loud shouts, they insistently demanded that he be crucified, and their shouts prevailed. So Pilate decided to grant their demand. He released the man who had been thrown into prison for insurrection and murder, the one they asked for, and surrendered Jesus to their will.
Why?
The crime of Jesus is written as "the king of the Jews". Jesus is the king of the Jews and is the king of all mankind. However, most of the chief priests, the rulers, and the people were denied this title. They did not sense Jesus was the Messiah.
The crowd would rather release the murder crime instead of Jesus helping many people and teaching the truth. The crowd is blind and loses their mind. This is the destination that the Lord permitted.
It is not the fault of Pilate but the whole crowd, the whole men of us let Jesus be crucified. Jesus crucified for all of us.
How?
Obey the command of the Lord is more important than our life.
