Lenten Reflection #42 “Irony… Pity Pilate” St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church, Goldsboro, NC. Tuesday March 30, 2021. The Reverend Alan Neale

Mark 15 9New Revised Standard Version)
15The chief priests held a consultation with the elders and scribes and the whole council. They bound Jesus, led him away, and handed him over to Pilate. 2 Pilate asked him, “Are you the King of the Jews?” He answered him, “You say so.”
6 Now at the festival he used to release a prisoner for them, anyone for whom they asked. 7 Now a man called Barabbas was in prison with the rebels who had committed murder during the insurrection. 8 So the crowd came and began to ask Pilate to do for them according to his custom.
