Pilate Brings Jesus Before the People and They Ask for His Crucifixion
“Pilate saith unto them, What then shall I do unto Jesus who is called Christ? They all say, Let him be crucified. And he said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out exceedingly, saying, Let him be crucified.” Matthew 27:22-23 ASV
Illustration of Pontius Pilate asking the people what he should do with Jesus. Jesus’ hands are bound by rope, he’s holding a reed, and he’s wearing a crown of thorns. Pilate is dressed in a typical Roman short tunic and is wearing a laurel crown. They are standing on a high balcony and the people can be seen yelling and waving their hands down below. Two soldiers and three men are standing behind Jesus. A woman, perhaps Mary, his mother, is standing on a distant balcony.
