JESUS WAS CONDEMNED IN OUR PLACES

Matthew 26:57-27:26
Key Verse: 26:64

“‘You have said so,’ Jesus replied. ‘But I say to all of you: From now on you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven.’”

1. Read 26:57-68. Where was Jesus taken and why did Peter follow him at a distance? (57-58) What was Jesus accused of, and why did he remain silent? (59-63a) What charge under oath did Jesus finally answer and why? (64) What happened as a result? (65-68)

2. Read verses 69-75. How did Peter disown Jesus three times, and why? (69-74) What did Peter remember and do? (75) Why did he weep bitterly?

3. Read 27:1-10. What plans did the religious leaders make, and why did they send Jesus to Pilate? (1-2; John 18:31-32)? What did Judas do and why? (3-5) How was Scripture fulfilled? (6-10)

4. Read verses 11-19. What question did Jesus answer and at what risk did Jesus clearly identify himself? To what did he give no replies, and why? (Isaiah 53:7) How and why did Pilate try to release Jesus? How did his wife advise him? (19)

5. Read verses 20-25. How did the chief priests foil Pilate’s plan? How did the crowd respond to Pilate’s first question? (21) What was Pilate’s second question? (22a) How did the crowd answer? How did Pilate assert his innocence and try to avoid responsibility? What did the crowd say? (25) Think about making decisions and taking responsibility.

6. Read verse 26. Who was then released instead of Jesus? What kind of sinner was Barabbas? Think about Jesus, who was condemned and handed over to be crucified instead of sinners like Barabbas and us.
