PA425 Matthew 27:9-26 mp3

Matthew Series 66

We discuss the mysterious quotation about the giving of the money Judas threw back into the temple for the potter’s field. When did Jeremiah say this? Then, the Lord’s trial before Pilate, wherein the Roman governor attempts to appease the people and get the innocent Jesus Christ released, only to have them ask for Barabbas, a probable false christ, instead. We consider those who were in this crowd who demanded our Lord’s crucifixion. Pilate gives in, releases Barabbas, and, after scourging the Lord, turns Him over to be crucified. How significant was Pilate’s washing of his hands before committing this crime?
