Commentaries on Luke 23:18

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 18Away with this man - That is, Put him to death - , literally, Take this one away, i.e. to punishment - to death.Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 18-23Verses 18-23 See the notes at Matthew 27:20-23.Read the comment
• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 13-25Verses 13-25 The fear of man brings many into this snare, that they will do an unjust thing, against their consciences, rather than get into trouble. Pilate declares Jesus innocent, and has a mind to release him; yet, to please the people, he would punish him as an evil-doer. If no fault be found in him, why chastise him? Pilate yielded at length; he had not courage to go against so strong a stream. He delivered Jesus to their will, to be crucified.Read the comment
• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 16-18I will punish Him: The Greek verb can mean “instruct,” “punish,” or “discipline.” It refers to a mild whipping for minor offenses. This was different from the severe flogging Romans gave before crucifixion (see Matthew 27:26; Mark 15:15).Read the comment
