3. Review Luke 22:7-13. It’s not by chance, but rather by God’s design, that the Lord Jesus died during the week of Passover. The Passover meal was the centerpiece of that celebration. In what way did that meal look back to God’s great act of deliverance? (See Exodus 12:1-17.)

4. Pontius Pilate was “governor” or the region, Rome’s representative in this far-flung and in hospitable outpost. He had absolute authority and the power of the Roman legions to back him up. He was not Jewish and, as nearly as we can tell, had no interest in the God his people worshiped. On what does Pilate base His verdict (Luke 23:4)? (See also John 18:36-38.)
