cused Jesus. Herod and his soldiers
Knocked Him, and sent Him back to
Plate in a gorgeous robe. This ex-
change of courtesies between Plate
and Herod bridged over an enmity
which had existed between them for
some time.
Neither PLATE Nor HerOd Condemned.
Addressing Jesus accusers again.
Plate said, "Ye brought unto me this
man as one perverting the people
Having examined Him before you, I
find no fault in Him touching those
things whereof ye accuse Him; nor
has Herod. ] will therefore chastise
Him and release Him." Evidently the
chastising, or whipping, of Jesus was
done with the thought that thus the
Jews would be appeased.
On several occasions PLATE had re-
leased prisoners in honor of the Pass
over. Thinking to get Jesus out of the
hands of the religious rulers, he said
to the people, Whom will ye that re-
lease unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus
who is called Messiah?" Influenced by
their clergy the people cried, Let
Jesus be crucifed!" plate said, "Why,
what evil hath He done? 1 find no
cause of death ia Him." Jesus was
then delivered to the Roman soldiers
only too willing to mock and scourge
Him.
When Jesus came out wearing the
crown of thorns and the purple robe,
plate said, "Ecce Homoi"-Behold the
Man! See him whom you are trying
to have me put to DEATH He is one of
the noblest of humanity Behold tho
beautiful dignity OF His character!
Whatever you have against Him, you
will feel placated now that you see
His humility.
But they cried, Cruelty Himl"
Again PLATE demonstrated. Then the
Jews came TO the reason of their oppo-
sition-Jesus had declared Himself to
be the Son of God. and this they con-
sidered blasphemy. This made Plate
all the more afraid. To add to his per-
plexity, his wife sent message urg-
ing him to have nothing to do with op-
position to Jesus. Finally in despera-
tion he washed his hands In the sight
Of the people. saying. 81 am innocent
Of the death of this righteous man!
See ye TO it, The people cried, His
blood be upon us and upon our chill
dren!"
And has it not been so! For more
than eighteen centuries the Jews have
suffered-aliens from Godl Without
Prophet Without Priestl Without
Sin-Oferingsl without Atoncment
