Discussion Questions: Luke 23:1-5

  1. What did the Jews accuse Jesus of when standing before the Roman Governor, Pilate? Why did they focus on these accusations? Were these accusations true?
  2. Why did Pilate send Jesus to Herod? Who was Herod? Why was he very glad to see Jesus?
  3. What did Pilate and Herod think of Jesus? Did they find any fault in him? Why is this important?
  4. Why did Pilate consent to Jesus’ crucifixion?
  5. Though Jesus was innocent, he suffered and died as a guilty sinner. Why?
  6. It was the will of the Lord to give Jesus over to death in this way (see Isaiah 53:10–12). Does that excuse the sin of those who mistreated Jesus, falsely accused him, condemned him unjustly, and crucified him (see Acts 2:22-24)?
  7. How do you intend to apply this text of Scripture to your life in thought, word, and deed?
