This chapter continues and completes the story of Christ’s sufferings and death.
1. We see his trial before Pilate, the Roman governor (Luke 23:1-5).
2. We see his hearing before Herod, who was tetrarch of Galilee, also under Roman rule (Luke 23:6-12).
3. We see Pilate’s struggle to free Jesus. He gives repeated witness to Jesus’ innocence, but at last yields to the crowd’s pressure and hands him over to be crucified (Luke 23:13-25).
4. We read what happened as they led Jesus away to be crucified, and what he said to the people who followed him (Luke 23:26-31).
5. We read what happened at the place of execution, and the insults he suffered there (Luke 23:32-38).
6. We see the conversion of one of the thieves while Christ was hanging on the cross (Luke 23:39-43).
7. We read of Christ’s death and the wonders that took place at that time (Luke 23:44-49).
8. We see his burial (Luke 23:50-56).
