Commentary
Luke 23 is a powerful chapter that speaks to the power of faith and the importance of forgiveness. It begins with Jesus being brought before Pilate, the Roman governor, who is trying to determine if Jesus is guilty of any crime. Pilate finds no fault in Jesus, but the Jewish leaders continue to press for his death. Pilate then sends Jesus to Herod, who also finds no fault in him.
