Luca 23:16 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 23:16

I will therefore chastise him
Give him some correction, as by scourging, or beating with rods: this he proposed, not because he thought him deserving of it, but in complaisance to the Jews; since it would look as if their charges were not altogether weak and groundless; and that Jesus was not entirely innocent: this would carry a show of guilt and punishment, and he hoped this might be thought sufficient, and so he should please them, and save Jesus from dying, which he much desired: and release him; from his bonds, and let him go.

Luca 23:16 In-Context

14 Voi mi avete fatto comparir quest’uomo davanti, come se egli sviasse il popolo; ed ecco, avendolo io in presenza vostra esaminato, non ho trovato in lui alcun maleficio di quelli de’ quali l’accusate
15 Ma non pure Erode; poichè io vi ho mandati a lui; ed ecco, non gli è stato fatto nulla, onde egli sia giudicato degno di morte.
16 Io adunque lo castigherò, e poi lo libererò.
17 Or gli conveniva di necessità liberar loro uno, ogni dì di festa.
18 E tutta la moltitudine gridò, dicendo: Togli costui, e liberaci Barabba.
