Cruel And Unnecessary

Text: John 19: 1 - 2

CRUEL AND UNNECESSARY

What Pilate did next was cruel and unnecessary. He applied Roman law inappropriately.

“So then Pilate took Jesus and scourged Him. And the soldiers twisted a crown of thorns and put it on His head, and they put on Him a purple robe.”

John 19:1-2

1. “So then Pilate took Jesus and scourged Him”

a. To scourge
i. This act refers to whipping.
ii. It was meant to be a form of torture.
iii. It was meant to force a confession from the prisoner.
b. The whips used
i. Some whips were ordinary, made up of leather.
ii. Some other whips contained hooks that were meant to take off flesh.
iii. People who were not strong physically sometimes die from scourging.

2. “And the soldiers twisted a crown of thorns and put it on His head”

a. This was uncalled for.
b. This was done to mock Jesus.
c. A king wears a crown; the crown of Jesus was made of thorns.
d. That would hurt when it is platted on the head.

3. “And they put on Him a purple robe”

a. Purple was worn by the nobility of Rome.
b. Purple robes were worn by kings.
c. This was another form of mockery.
i. It was most likely a faded robe.
ii. It was put on Jesus to mock Him for saying that He was a king.

THE TEACHING OF JESUS ON SUFFERING

Jesus had taught His disciples that they must not be afraid of suffering. Now, he was exemplifying what He had taught!

1. This suffering was prophesied (Isaiah 53).

2. He had to bear our sins through suffering. Our salvation came at a very high price!

经文：约翰福音 19：1-2

残酷且不必要

彼拉多之后所做的十分残酷，也不必要。他胡乱实行罗马律法。

“当下彼拉多将耶稣鞭打了。兵丁用荆棘编做冠冕，戴在他头上，给他穿上紫袍”

《约翰福音 19：1-2》

1. “当下彼拉多将耶稣鞭打了”

a. 鞭打
i. 这是鞭刑
ii. 是一种苦刑
iii. 一般为了逼供
b. 鞭
i. 有些鞭是一般用牛皮制成的
ii. 有些鞭上带有小钩，是为把肉皮撕下
iii. 若体弱的人，可能因此鞭刑而丧命

2. “兵丁用荆棘编做冠冕”

a. 这是不必要的
b. 为的是嘲笑耶稣
c. 王带有冠冕；耶稣的冠冕却是用荆棘编成的
d. 放置在头上肯定会有刺痛

3. “戴在他头上，给他穿上紫袍”

a. 紫色是罗马皇族贵人所穿的颜色
b. 紫袍是王袍
c. 这也是一种嘲讽
i. 紫袍也许已褪色
ii. 这是为嘲笑耶稣自称为王

耶稣有关受苦的教诲

耶稣教导门徒不能害怕受苦。如今，祂正以自己为典范体现了祂所教训的！

1. 这苦难早已由先知预言《以赛亚 53》

2. 祂通过苦难承担我们的罪孽。我们的救赎，代价不小。
