When he discovered that Jesus came from Galilee, he sent Him to the ruler of that region—Herod. “This has nothing to do with me after all,” he thought. “Let Herod deal with it.” But his plan did not work. Soon Jesus was back and Pilate found he still had to decide. Are you trying to dodge the issue? It cannot be done.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
D. The crowd will always reject ChristExplanation
He hoped the crowd would choose Jesus and “get him off the hook.” But the crowd chose Barabbas—so Pilate had to decide alone. Next, he said, “I will whip Him and let Him go.” He hoped that would satisfy the bloodthirsty crowd. But they still screamed for His death. Our world, ever hostile to Christ and His claims, will never make it easy to follow Him.Rate this question:

Finally, Pilate tried to disown the issue. He called for a basin of water. “I wash my hands of the whole affair,” he said. “You take Him and crucify Him. It has nothing to do with me.” He did that to try to set his mind at ease—and then he authorized Christ’s execution. But nothing can possibly wash the blood of Christ from the hands of the person who has refused Him.Rate this question:
