... holy city, and the house of the Lord. For thenceforth God’s grace desisted (from working) among them. And “the clouds were commanded not to rain a shower upon the vineyard of Sorek,” —the clouds being celestial benefits, which were commanded not to be forthcoming to the house of Israel; for it “had borne thorns ”—whereof that house of Israel had wrought a crown for Christ—and not “ righteousness, but a clamour,”—the clamour whereby it had extorted His surrender to the cross.[Luke 23:13-25] And thus, the former gifts of grace being withdrawn, “the law and the prophets were until John,” and the fishpool of Bethsaida until the advent of Christ: thereafter it ceased curatively to remove from Israel infirmities of health; since, as the ...

... Barabbas, or Jesus which is called the Messiah, the [28] King of the Jews? For Pilate knew that envy had moved them to deliver him up. [29] And the chief priests and the elders asked the multitudes to deliver Barabbas, and [30] to destroy Jesus. The judge answered and said unto them, Whom of the two will [31] ye that I release unto you? They said, Barabbas. Pilate said unto them, And [32] Jesus which is called the Messiah, what shall I do with him? They all cried out [33] and said, Crucify him.[Luke 23:20] And Pilate spake to them again, for he desired to release [34] Jesus; but they cried out and said, Crucify him, crucify him, and release unto us [35] Barabbas. And Pilate said unto them a third time, What evil hath this man done? I have not ...

... this man, and release unto us Barabbas; who for a certain sedition made in the city, and for murder, was cast into prison. Pilate, therefore, willing to release Jesus, spake again to them. But they cried, saying, Crucify him, crucify him. And he said unto them the third time, Why, what evil hath he done? I have found no cause of death in him: I will therefore chastise him and let him go. And they were instant with loud voices, requiring that He might be crucified; and the voices of them prevailed.”[Luke 23:15-23] The repeated effort which Pilate, in his desire to accomplish the release of Jesus, thus made to gain the people’s consent, is satisfactorily attested by Matthew, although in a very few words, when he says, “But when Pilate saw that he could prevail ...

45. Luke, again, after mentioning how Pilate said, “I will therefore chastise him and let him go,” tells us that the whole multitude then cried out, “Away with this man, and release unto us Barabbas.” But perhaps they had not yet exclaimed, “Crucify him!” For Luke next proceeds thus: “Pilate therefore, willing to release Jesus, spake again to them. But they cried, saying, Crucify him, crucify him!”[Luke 23:20-21] This is understood to have been at the third hour. Luke then continues in these terms: “And he said unto them the third time, Why, what evil hath he done? I have found no cause of death in him: I will therefore chastise him and let him go. And they were instant with loud voices requiring that He ...

... confirmed to themselves malignant discourse: Crucify, crucify.” The repetition is the confirmation of the “malignant discourse.” Let us see in what manner “they have confirmed to themselves malignant discourse.” “Your King shall I crucify?” They said, “We have no king but Cæsar alone.” He was offering for King the Son of God: to a man they betook themselves: worthy were they to have the one, and not have the Other. “I find not anything in this Man,” saith the judge, “wherefore He is worthy of death.”[Luke 23:20] And they that “confirmed malignant discourse,” said, “His blood be upon us and upon our sons.” “They confirmed malignant discourse,” not to the Lord, but to “themselves.” For how not to themselves when they say, “Upon us and upon our sons”? That ...
