Suffering of Christ
Jesus faces Pilate
-
He was cruel, arbitrary and disdainful towards the Jews.
The fifth Roman governor of Judea, he held office from 26 to 36 A.D
The third hour
The day was divided into four night time “watches” and several day time “hours” (6:00 AM to 6:00 PM). (The “third” hour is 9:00 AM, the “sixth” hour is noon, and the “ninth” hour is 3:00 PM).
“The events of the passion occur in precise three hour intervals reminding the reader that nothing is happening by mere chance; all is taking place by the ‘set plan and foreknowledge of God’
-
Jesus or Barabas
Addressing the crowd, Pilate expected the crowd to choose Jesus. But the chief priests quickly turn the crowd against Jesus and call for the release of Barabbas.

Charge against Jesus
From Mark’s brief account we can assume that the accusation brought against Jesus was that he claimed to be “King of the Jews.”
It would present a political threat to the procurator and the emperor and would be immediately crushed.
The crucifiction
On a Friday morning around nine o’clock, nearly 2000 years ago (about April 7, 30 A.D.), Jesus of Nazareth was executed as a political criminal on a hill near the city of Jerusalem.
Crucifixion, a form of Roman execution, was torturous, degrading, and reserved for the most heinous criminals. It was also the most painful method of execution.
The death of Jesus
-
At 3:00 o’clock Jesus prayerfully utters in a loud voice the first words of Psalm 22: "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?"
The scrouging
Once sentence was passed the victim was stripped naked, bound to a post or pillar, and lashed until the flesh hung in shreds. The instrument was a whip of rawhide, braided with pieces of bone or metal.
-
The Mocking of Christ
-
The mockery of a convict was quite common. The soldiers often amused themselves by insulting the prisoners in their custody and playing cruel jokes on them.
