Pilate then went back inside the palace,

summoned Jesus and asked him,

"Are you the king of the Jews?"

"Is that your own idea," Jesus asked,

"or did others talk to you about me?"

"Am I a Jew?" Pilate replied.

"It was your people and your chief priests

who handed you over to me.

What is it you have done?"

Jesus said,

"My kingdom is not of this world.

If it were, my servants would fight to

prevent my arrest by the Jews.

But now my kingdom is from another place."

"You are a king, then!" said Pilate.

Jesus answered,

"You are right in saying I am a king.

In fact, for this reason I was born, and

for this I came into the world,

to testify to the truth.

Everyone on the side of truth listens to me."

"What is truth?" Pilate asked.

With this he went out again to the Jews

and said,

"I find no basis for a charge against him.

But it is your custom for me to release

to you one prisoner at the time of

the Passover. Do you want me to release

'the king of the Jews'?"

They shouted back,

"No, not him! Give us Barabbas!"

Now Barabbas had taken part in a rebellion.

Then Pilate took Jesus and had him flogged.

The soldiers twisted together a crown of

thorns and put it on his head.

They clothed him in a purple robe and

went up to him again and again, saying,

"Hail, king of the Jews!"

And they struck him in the face.

Once more Pilate came out and said to

the Jews, "Look, I am bringing him out

to you to let you know that I find

no basis for a charge against him."

When Jesus came out wearing the crown

of thorns and the purple robe,

Pilate said to them, "Here is the man!"

As soon as the chief priests and

their officials saw him, they shouted,

"Crucify! Crucify!" But Pilate answered,

"You take him and crucify him.

As for me, I find no basis for a charge

against him."

The Jews insisted,

"We have a law, and according to that law

he must die, because he claimed to be

the Son of God."

When Pilate heard this, he was even more

afraid, and he went back inside the palace.

"Where do you come from?" he asked Jesus,

but Jesus gave him no answer.

"Do you refuse to speak to me?" Pilate said.

"Don't you realize I have power either to

free you or to crucify you?"

Jesus answered,

"You would have no power over me

if it were not given to you from above.

Therefore the one who handed me over

to you is guilty of a greater sin."

From then on, Pilate tried to set Jesus free,

but the Jews kept shouting,

"If you let this man go,

you are no friend of Caesar. Anyone who

claims to be a king opposes Caesar."

When Pilate heard this,

he brought Jesus out and sat down on

the judge's seat at a place known as

the Stone Pavement (which in Aramaic is Gabbatha).

It was the day of Preparation of Passover

Week, about the sixth hour.

"Here is your king," Pilate said to the Jews.

But they shouted, "Take him away!

Take him away! Crucify him!"

"Shall I crucify your king?" Pilate asked.

"We have no king but Caesar,"

the chief priests answered.

Finally Pilate handed him over to them

to be crucified.

So the soldiers took charge of Jesus.

When he had received the drink,

Jesus said, "It is finished."

With that, he bowed his head and

gave up his spirit. John 18:33-19:16,30

In the Bible, many trials and

judgements are recorded.

The first one was in Genesis 3:15

God trialed and judged

the first men who became sinners.

That final trial was that

God becomes a Man and

die for the sinners instead.

Here men trial and judge God.

They trial God Jesus and judge

him the sentence of crucifixion.

For the last two some years in

Korea the similar trials have

practiced piercing patriots' hearts.

But Jesus finishes his purpose of

Genesis 3:15: He gives life and

abundant life to men whoever

believe in him. 

Last Sunday was Hosanna Sunday.

This week is the Passion Week.

It was the week that Jesus finished

his 33 years of life on earth and

the mission.

The process was obedience and

suffering themselves, the death.

Thus he gives life back to me and

the menkind that is eternal and abundant.
