Luke | Chapter 23

Luke 23 records the culmination of the Lord's earthly ministry through His trial, crucifixion, death, and burial. This chapter marks the turning point between Israel under Law and the approaching dispensation of Grace. The events unfold on Friday of Passover week, as Israel's religious leaders, joined by Roman authority, officially reject their Messiah, opening the way for God's program to extend "unto the uttermost part of the earth" through the gospel.
