Then the whole assembly rose and led him off to Pilate.

"Jesus Led from Caiaphas to Pilate"

And they began to accuse him, saying, “We have found this man subverting our nation. He opposes payment of taxes to Caesar and claims to be Christ, a king.”

So Pilate asked Jesus, “Are you the king of the Jews?”

“Yes, it is as you say,” Jesus replied.

Then Pilate announced to the chief priests and the crowd, “I find no basis for a charge against this man.”

But they insisted, “He stirs up the people all over Judea by his teaching. He started in Galilee and has come all the way here.”

On hearing this, Pilate asked if the man was a Galilean. When he learned that Jesus was under Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who was also in Jerusalem at that time.

GUSTAVE DORÉ
"Christ Leaving the Court"

When Herod saw Jesus, he was greatly pleased, because for a long time he had been wanting to see him. From what he had heard about him, he hoped to see him perform some miracle. He plied him with many questions, but Jesus gave him no answer. The chief priests and the teachers of the law were standing there, vehemently accusing him. Then Herod and his soldiers ridiculed and mocked him. Dressing him in an elegant robe, they sent him back to Pilate. That day Herod and Pilate became friends—before this they had been enemies.

Pilate called together the chief priests, the rulers and the people, and said to them, “You brought me this man as one who was inciting the people to rebellion. I have examined him in your presence and have found no basis for your charges against him. Neither has Herod, for he sent him back to us; as you can see, he has done nothing to deserve death. Therefore, I will punish him and then release him.”

JESUS BEFORE PILATE AND HEROD

[left that other site]

Good Morning, Dan. :-)

[Big Red Badger]

Good Morning Dan.
.
I can’t wait to see if you have
St. Dismas aka the ‘Good Theif.’
.
A very unique character indeed.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Good Saturday to you, Mary-Lou!

[Hebrews 11:6]

Don’t get your hopes up.

[Big Red Badger]

It’s an interesting Church in Upstate New York.
Hope I Never Visit!

[InkStone]

Good Morning Dan, and Saturday greetings to all.

The greatest ‘trial’ in history; so many fine paintings:

#7 (Artist unknown)
#19 Romanino
#23 Tissot
#29 Dore

These crowds are full of ‘cara de fuchi’ (twisted faces).
Thank You Dan!

[etabeta]

Good morning, Dan.
My favorite today has to be Gustave Dore’ at #29. In the middle of the agitated crowd, Jesus calmly walks in his resplendent Light toward his Passion.
All of Tissot
#2 by the celebrated Hungarian artist Mihaly Munkacsy . It is a huge canvas.
#5 Tintoretto -Italian painter of the Venetian School famous for his inventive compositions and dramatic lighting.
#9 Duccio
#12 Hole
#34 Relief in alabaster from the early 16th c.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Although I have many images of the three crosses, the only one I recall that specifically references the penitent thief doesn’t actually show him; rather, it shows only Jesus, turned toward him to converse.

[Hebrews 11:6]

‘cara de fuchi’ (twisted faces)

With, I expect, twisted hearts to match.

Mary-Lou got me good with it. I thought she had found a detail of it, a close-up, so I added it just below my copy. Then yesterday I discovered it wasn't a detail at all. She had just blown it up, like this:

Well said etabeta; thank you.

True Dan; I wonder how many eventually believed on Him?

[etabeta]

A little trivia. Hungary bought it back from an American Museum for almost 8 million dollars.

LOL! For a moment I thought Pilate was texting......need another cup of coffee...

Powerfully emotional to me, InkStone.

He knows, and one fine day we’ll know, too.

I love this one. It captures Jesus' grace and dignity and the drama of the moment.
