Luke - 23:23 Meaning
“And they were instant with loud voices, requiring that he might be crucified. And the voices of them and of the chief priests prevailed.”
King James Version (KJV)
Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary
23:13-25 The fear of man brings many into this snare, that they will do an unjust thing, against their consciences, rather than get into trouble. Pilate declares Jesus innocent, and has a mind to release him; yet, to please the people, he would punish him as an evil-doer. If no fault be found in him, why chastise him? Pilate yielded at length; he had not courage to go against so strong a stream. He delivered Jesus to their will, to be crucified.
“The LORD is my strength and song, and is become my salvation.”
