Kerstballen paashazen pinksterfeesten & populisme!
AN
ideal opportunity
presented itself!
The Roman governor
was in the habit of releasing a Jewish prisoner on the Passover.
Not only Mark {15:6}, Matai {27:15}, & Yochanan {13:40}, but also Lucky Luke 23:17 says,
"For of necessity he {POPI} must release one unto them at the feast!"
This Lukan verse is not embedded in many modern editions & translations,
because it is omitted from some early witnesses. In Codex Bezae it appears after Luke 23:19.
Accordingly Luke 23:17 "is a gloss." The textual situation is not too dissimilar to what we can find concerning the Codex Bezae reading of Luke 23:17.
From rabbinic literature we know that this amnesty often went by default, or was granted only after long,
weary entreaty. On this occasion, both the Sadducean high priests and Pontius Pilate tried to manipulate this prisoner release to their own advantage. Before the hearing in front of Popi, a select crowd ~
undoubtedly not the general masses of Yerushalayim ~ had already gathered, and the people were clamoring for the customary clemency of a prisoner. We have seen before already several times
that such mass demonstrations were not unusual in Pilate's time,
because of his cruelty and
his weaknesses.
Pilate
seized this
opportunity and said to them,
"DO YOU WANT ME TO RELEASE FOR YOU
THE KING OF THE JEWS?"
{Mark 15:6~10}
In this
"kING OF THE jEWS"
Popi saw little danger to the empire,
and he hoped that the Jews likewise would see
that there was no sound reason for {t}his execution.
If he let this man free, he could have Barabbas crucified!
But the high priests intervened; the crowd loved Barabbas, the freedom-fighter?
Thus, it was easy on this occasion for the high priests to appear on the side of the populace.
Finally, the proposal for the amnesty of Barabbas was accepted {Mark 15:11}.
Pilate asked,
"Then what shall I do with the man whom you call the King of the Jews?"
The answer he got was,
"CRUCIFY HIM!"
