Todays Lesson: Jesus is put on trial before Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor. Although Pilate doesn’t think Jesus is guilty, he bows to pressure when the crowd chants “Crucify him!” Soldiers take Jesus’ clothes and mock him by putting a scarlet robe and a crown of thorns on him. They hit him and spit on him. Then they take him away to be crucified. Because he suffered, Jesus understands suffering.
• Bible Point: Jesus understands suffering.
• Summary Verse: “I have given you an example to follow. Do as I have done to you” (John 13:15)
