Pray

Ask God to help you to understand what you study today.

Read: Luke 23:1-12

23:1 To whom did the members of the council take Jesus?

23:2 What three wrong things did they say that Jesus had done?

23:3 What did Pilate ask Jesus? How did Jesus reply to Pilate?

23:4 What did Pilate say to the chief priests and the crowd at first?

23:5 What did the crowd say that Jesus had done?

23:7 Because Jesus was from Galilee, to whom did Pilate send him?

23:8 Why was Herod glad when he saw Jesus? What did Herod want to see?

23:9 What did Jesus do when Herod asked him many questions?

23:10 What were the chief priests and teachers of the law doing?

23:11 What did Herod and his soldiers do to Jesus in order to insult him?

23:12 What happened to Pilate and Herod on that day?

Final remarks

Jesus knew that Pilate or Herod could kill him. But he was not afraid of them. He did not do a miracle in front of Herod. He knew that Herod only wanted to see a show. Jesus would not do what Herod wanted. So, Herod insulted Jesus.

Pray

Father, help me to have the courage that I need. I need courage to stand up against any who would oppose me in my love and service for you. Amen.
