Words of Jesus: July 3, 2026

Friday July 3, 2026

Luke 23:1-5    “Then the whole company of them arose, and brought him before Pilate. And they began to accuse him, saying, “We found this man perverting our nation, and forbidding us to give tribute to Caesar, and saying that he himself is Christ a king.” And Pilate asked him, “Are you the King of the Jews?” And he answered him, “You have said so.” And Pilate said to the chief priests and the multitudes, “I find no crime in this man.” But they were urgent, saying, “He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, from Galilee even to this place.””   RSV

Jesus is here accused of stirring “up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, from Galilee even to this place.””. 

May You, Jesus, stir up our hearts, stir up my heart. Amen.
