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 les dijo:—Ustedes me trajeron a este hombre acusado de fomentar la rebelión entre el pueblo, pero resulta que lo he interrogado delante de ustedes sin encontrar que sea culpable de lo que ustedes lo acusan.
15 Y es claro que tampoco Herodes lo ha juzgado culpable, puesto que nos lo devolvió. Como pueden ver, no ha cometido ningún delito que merezca la muerte,
16 así que le daré una paliza y después lo soltaré.
18 Pero todos gritaron a una voz:—¡Llévate a ese! ¡Suéltanos a Barrabás!
