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 Ma essi gridarono tutti insieme: Fa’ morir costui, e liberaci Barabba!

19 (Barabba era stato messo in prigione a motivo di una sedizione avvenuta in città e di un omicidio)

20 E Pilato da capo parlò loro, desiderando liberar Gesù;

21 ma essi gridavano: Crocifiggilo, crocifiggilo

22 E per la terza volta egli disse loro: Ma che male ha egli fatto? Io non ho trovato nulla in lui, che meriti la morte. Io dunque, dopo averlo castigato, lo libererò.
