Summary
Matthew 27:15-21; Mark 15:6-11; Luke 23:17-19; John 18:39, 40 In this second half of our study on "The Lamb Before His Shearers" (see Lesson 171a), we do not so much look at the silence of Christ as we did when He stood before His accusers and before Herod Antipas, but we look at the selection of the crowd. Pilate presented the crowd assembled around the Praetorium with a "Passover Bargain". They could choose to free one prisoner, and the choice was between Jesus and Barabbas, a robber, murderer, and insurrectionist against Rome. We also discuss "Mrs. Pilate's Precautionary Dream" - one her husband should have paid great attention to! Thirdly, we then look at "The Multitude's Providential Choice". Sadly, they chose to free Barabbas instead of Jesus - but, of course, Jesus was the Lamb slain before the foundation of the world!
