Mattheüs 27:27 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 27:27

Then the soldiers of the governor
Those that were about him, his attendants and guards,

took Jesus into the common hall;
the "praetorium", or judgment hall, as it is sometimes called; the governor's palace, into which the Jews would not enter, lest they should defile themselves: Pilate therefore came out to them, and went into the pavement called Gabbatha, and sat upon a judgment seat there; see ( John 18:28 John 18:29 ) ( John 19:13 ) , where he passed sentence on Christ; which being done, the soldiers took him into the hall of judgment; which being both magnificent and large, was fit for the scene they intended to act there. Munster's Hebrew Gospel reads it, they took him "in the house of judgment"; and the Ethiopic version renders it, "out of the court of judicature"; both wrong.

And gathered unto him whole band [of soldiers];
the same that Judas had with him to take him, consisting of five hundred, and some say more: these their fellow soldiers, to whom Jesus was committed, got together to him, or "against him", as the Syriac and Persic versions render it, make themselves sport and diversion with him. Think in what hands and company our dear Lord now was: now was he encompassed with dogs, and enclosed with the assembly of the wicked indeed; see ( Psalms 22:16 ) . The Persic version renders it, "multitudes of knaves being gathered together to him".

Mattheüs 27:27 In-Context

25 En al het volk, antwoordende, zeide: Zijn bloed kome over ons, en over onze kinderen.

26 Toen liet hij hun Bar-abbas los, maar Jezus gegeseld hebbende, gaf hij Hem over om gekruisigd te worden.

27 Toen namen de krijgsknechten des stadhouders Jezus met zich in het rechthuis, en vergaderden over Hem de ganse bende.

28 En als zij Hem ontkleed hadden, deden zij Hem een purperen mantel om;

29 En een kroon van doornen gevlochten hebbende, zetten die op Zijn hoofd, en een rietstok in Zijn rechter hand; en vallende op hun knieen voor Hem, bespotten zij Hem, zeggende: Wees gegroet, Gij Koning der Joden!
