Lucas 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.

Lucas 23:16 In-Context

14 y anunció su veredicto: «Me trajeron a este hombre porque lo acusan de encabezar una revuelta. Detenidamente lo he examinado al respecto en presencia de ustedes y lo encuentro inocente.

15 Herodes llegó a la misma conclusión y me lo devolvió. Este hombre no ha hecho nada que merezca la pena de muerte.

16 Así que lo haré azotar y luego lo pondré en libertad»
