The Explication.
Mention is made of Pilate in Christs Passion: §11. Because Christ did receive from him a testimony of his innocency; that thereby we might know that he was pronounced innocent by the voice of the Judge himself. §22. That we might know that he, though innocent, was notwithstanding solemnly condemned. §33. That we might be advertised of the fulfilling of the prophecy:1 I will over-turn, over-turn, over-turn it, and it shall be no more, until he come, 2whose right it is, and I will give it him. The Sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a Law-giver from between his feet, until Shiloh come. For then was the Sceptre taken from Judah, when Christ was a little after condemned of Pilate a Roman governor, of whom before he was absolved. This circumstance therefore is diligently to be considered in Christs passion, that we may know him to be the Messiah: because all conditions are fulfilled in him, which are required in the Messiah. Whereof this Prophecy,3 of the taking away of the Sceptre from Judah, was one. Quest. But why was it requisite that Christ should suffer under a Judge; and be condemned by order of law? §11. That we might know that Christ was condemned of God himself also, and ⟨p. 295⟩therefore that he satisfied God for us, that we might not be condemned in Gods severe judgement; even as he also suffered death for us, that we might be delivered from the power of death. For the head and governor of ordinary judgement is God himself. §2
