Luca 23:20

20 Perciò Pilato da capo parlò loro, desiderando liberar Gesù.

Luca 23:20 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 23:20

Pilate therefore willing to release Jesus
Being more and more convinced of his innocence; and still seeing more clearly into the wickedness, malice, and envy of his accusers; and having received a message from his wife:

spake again to them;
putting it again to them, which he should release; asking them what he should do with Jesus; plainly signifying his mind, that he thought him innocent, and that it would be right to let him go. The Ethiopic version represents him, saying, "will ye that I save for you, or release to you the Lord Jesus?"

Luca 23:20 In-Context

18 E tutta la moltitudine gridò, dicendo: Togli costui, e liberaci Barabba.
19 Costui era stato incarcerato per una sedizione, fatta nella città, con omicidio
20 Perciò Pilato da capo parlò loro, desiderando liberar Gesù.
21 Ma essi gridavano in contrario, dicendo: Crocifiggilo, crocifiggilo
22 Ed egli, la terza volta, disse loro: Ma pure, che male ha fatto costui? io non ho trovato in lui maleficio alcuno degno di morte. Io adunque lo castigherò, e poi lo libererò.
