As we look at this passage we find that there are 4 major steps that Jesus took on His way to the cross, which tell us much in relation to ourselves as sinners. Our Lord Jesus underwent these sufferings for our sakes during that painful time when He was falsely accused, beaten, mistreated, and scourged under Pontius Pilate. And these sufferings increased, and they reached their awful climax in the exquisite pains which He bore for us, during that awful time in which He hung upon the cross. It was by these sufferings that He purchased all the blessings and benefits of our great salvation. Let me list them for you: 1st of all – Jesus' suffering injustice on our behalf silently, before the Jewish council and Pilate the Roman Governor. (verses 1-5) The 2nd Step – Jesus' suffering the indignity of being placed in the same category with criminals – Murderers, insurrectionists, and thieves. (verses 6-15) 3rd – Jesus' being degraded from His dignity and mocked because He was the King of the Jews. (verses 16-20) 4th – Jesus' willingly allowing Himself to be crucified. (verses 21-39)
