ANYWAY,
the "fox,"
who had sought
to take Yehoshua's life
in Galilea, confidently left him
in Yerushalayim in the bloody hands
of the shitty Roman governor whose brutality
was already known far
& wide!
Lucky
Luke's report
{23:6~12} is written
in pure Greek without
visible Semitic vestiges. It seems
that Luke {or his sources} developed
this whole incident in a rather free way?
According to Luke, Herod and his soldiers mock Yeshua
in a different way than in Mark {15:16~20} & Matai {27:27~31},
and the whole scene in Luke comes in place of the report in the two other Synoptic Gospels!
Even so, I believe that the other report is more trustworthy
because of other historical parallels
to this Roman
mockery
...
The
formalities of
'the case' were
now over, but this
'courtesy' on the part of
POPI led to the healing of
the previous estrangement between himself & Herod
Antipas according to
Luke 23:12!
Yeshu
was incarderated
with at least three other 'terrorists'.
These probably were anti-Roman guerillas, & chief among them was "Yeshu Bar Abbas"?
He had taken part in terrorism that had cost lives, & had been caught & imprisoned along with the others.
The governor regarded it as his duty to crucify these terrorists ~ especially Barabbas
& if this were done on the great festival of the Jews, before
the enormous pilgrim crowd, all would
see the Iron Hand
of Rome!
However,
the execution
of a popular
"people's hero" might lead
to [more] unrest? Indeed, the electric
atmosphere of the {main} pilgrim festival,
especially the Pass-over {Pesach/Pasen}, was always a potentially explosive time!
In all probability the Jewish "brigands" among the people would have wanted to avenge Barabbas' death,
and if they had, scores of Jewish peole would have fallen victim to a frenzy of Roman swords feeding off their flesh. The hated {Sadducean} high priests for their part must have feared that such a scenario would indeed lead {once again!} to a very violent riot
during the festival according to Matai 26:5.
This could be avoided, only if
Barabbas was kept alive
{at all costs}
...
