What Does Luke 23:13 Mean?
With Jesus returned from Herod, the case lands back on Pilate's bench. He convenes accusers and crowd together for a formal announcement.
Pilate gathers an audience because he hopes to release Jesus with their consent — justice asking permission. The stage is being set for a choice that will be offered to the whole assembly, and through Luke's telling, to every reader: this man, or Barabbas.
