1. Jesus sentenced to death by jealous Jewish rulers (27:1-2)
2. Judas sentenced to death by a guilty conscience (27:3-10)
3. Jesus found innocent by a ruthless Roman ruler (27:11-23)
4. Jesus sentenced to death by a cornered coward (27:24-26)
Big idea: Just as the lambs that were sacrificed at the Jewish Passover were first examined for any defect, Jesus, the Lamb of God, was examined by His enemies before His death – and found to be holy and blameless.
