Book ◦ Chapter

and said to them,
This phrase indicates a formal address, likely in a public setting. Pilate, the Roman governor, is speaking to the Jewish leaders and the gathered crowd. This reflects the Roman practice of public trials and pronouncements, emphasizing transparency and authority.

“You brought me this man
The "you" refers to the Jewish religious leaders who had arrested Jesus and brought Him to Pilate. This highlights the tension between the Jewish authorities and Jesus, who they saw as a threat to their power and religious traditions. The phrase "this man" shows Pilate's detachment and lack of personal investment in the case.

as one who was inciting the people to rebellion.
The accusation of inciting rebellion is serious, as it implies a threat to Roman rule. The Jewish leaders framed Jesus as a political insurgent, which would have been a capital offense under Roman law. This reflects their strategy to ensure Roman intervention, as religious charges alone might not have warranted execution.

I have examined Him here in your presence
Pilate's examination of Jesus was a legal procedure, conducted openly to ensure fairness and accountability. This phrase underscores Pilate's role as a judge and his attempt to maintain justice according to Roman legal standards. It also highlights the transparency of the proceedings, as the examination was done publicly.

and found Him not guilty of your charges against Him.
Pilate's declaration of Jesus' innocence is significant, as it underscores the lack of evidence for the accusations. This aligns with the biblical theme of Jesus as the sinless Lamb of God, fulfilling prophecies such asIsaiah 53:9, which speaks of the Messiah's innocence. Pilate's statement also foreshadows the ultimate injustice of Jesus' crucifixion, despite His innocence.

What Does Luke 23:14 Mean

You brought me this man

“You brought me this man…” (Luke 23:14)

• Pilate addresses the religious leaders, reminding them that they initiated the proceedings.

• LikeActs 3:13-15, the responsibility for delivering Jesus to secular authority rests squarely on those who rejected Him.

• Pilate’s words underscore how human agents, not Rome, pursued Jesus’ death—fulfillingIsaiah 53:3, “He was despised and rejected by men.”

As one inciting the people to rebellion

“…as one who was inciting the people to rebellion.” (Luke 23:14)

• The Sanhedrin’s charge was political: portraying Jesus as a revolutionary threat (Luke 23:2).

• This echoes their earlier fear that “the whole nation will perish” if Rome intervenes (John 11:48).

• By labeling Jesus an agitator, they blurred spiritual opposition with civil unrest, just asPsalm 2:2 foretold, “The kings of the earth take their stand…and the rulers gather together against the LORD and against His Anointed.”

I have examined Him here in your presence

“I have examined Him here in your presence…” (Luke 23:14)

• Pilate publicly reviews the evidence, ensuring transparency (John 18:33-38).

• Herod’s identical conclusion (Luke 23:15) corroborates Jesus’ innocence on all political counts—Deuteronomy 19:15 requires two witnesses, and here are two Roman authorities.

• God’s sovereignty shines through: even pagan officials testify to the Lamb’s blamelessness, mirroring1 Peter 1:19, “a lamb without blemish or defect.”

Found Him not guilty of your charges

“…and found Him not guilty of your charges against Him.” (Luke 23:14)

• Pilate’s verdict repeats three times (Luke 23:4, 14, 22), emphasizing Christ’s sinlessness (2 Corinthians 5:21).

• The leaders’ refusal to accept innocence exposes their hardened hearts, like Pharaoh’s (Exodus 9:34-35).

• Even with acquittal, Jesus will be condemned—fulfillingActs 2:23, “delivered up by God’s set plan and foreknowledge.”

summary

Luke 23:14 records Pilate’s formal declaration that Jesus is politically innocent: the charges of stirring rebellion are baseless. Though Rome finds no fault, the religious leaders press on, revealing the depth of human sin and the necessity of the cross. Scripture layers witness upon witness—Pilate, Herod, Old Testament prophecy—all affirming that the spotless Lamb is condemned not for His own crimes but for ours, just as God predetermined for our redemption.
