New Testament: John 19.1–3

To read the Bible in a year, read John 19.1–22 on June 11, In the year of our Lord Christ 2023

By Don Ruhl 

Picture what the Roman soldiers did to Jesus, “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. Then they said, ‘Hail, King of the Jews!’ And they struck Him with their hands” (John 19.1–3). 

Why did they do those things to him? Why did he allow it to happen? You know the reasons. Think on those things today. 

I hope that those men repented of what they did to Jesus before they entered eternity. 

Questions: 

• What would it take to slap Jesus in the face? 
• What was a scourging?
