Luc 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.

Luc 23:16 In-Context

14 Vous m'avez amené cet homme comme soulevant le peuple; et cependant, l'ayant interrogé en votre présence, je ne l'ai trouvé coupable d'aucun des crimes dont vous l'accusez
15 Ni Hérode non plus; car je vous ai renvoyés vers lui, et voici il n'a rien fait qui soit digne de mort.
16 L'ayant donc fait châtier, je le relâcherai.
17 Or, il était obligé de leur relâcher un prisonnier à chaque fête.
18 De sorte qu'ils s'écrièrent tous ensemble: Fais mourir celui-ci, et nous relâche Barabbas.
