We saw yesterday how the Pharisees and Chief Priests put pressure on the Temple officers to reject Christ. The sad fact of that encounter was that the religious were successful in distracting the officers. John 19:6 reveals what result of the pressure. “Therefore, when the chief priests and officers saw him, they cried out saying, “Crucify Him, crucify him!”
The one they once admired they join in crucifying. Walking away from God will take us where we never thought we would go.
