Today’s quote and prayer from
“Psalms 365: Develop a Life of Worship and Prayer”
Today’s Reading: Psalm 109: 6-15 (NIV)*
Listen to today’s reading by Jonathan Dent:
Father God,
I need your help.
I find it easy to lash out at those who have hurt me.
When I want to go for the jugular
help me reach out for the wisdom and compassion of Jesus instead.
I want to be more like you, Jesus.
Amen.

Gospel Reading:
Jesus Before Pilate
Very early in the morning, the chief priests,
with the elders, the teachers of the law and the whole Sanhedrin, made their plans.
So they bound Jesus, led him away and handed him over to Pilate.
“Are you the king of the Jews?” asked Pilate.
“You have said so,” Jesus replied.
The chief priests accused him of many things.
So again Pilate asked him,
“Aren’t you going to answer?
See how many things they are accusing you of.”
But Jesus still made no reply, and Pilate was amazed.
Now it was the custom at the festival to release a prisoner whom the people requested.
A man called Barabbas was in prison with the insurrectionists
who had committed murder in the uprising.
The crowd came up and asked Pilate to do for them what he usually did.
“Do you want me to release to you the king of the Jews?”
asked Pilate, knowing it was out of self-interest
that the chief priests had handed Jesus over to him.
But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have Pilate release Barabbas instead.
“What shall I do, then, with the one you call the king of the Jews?”
Pilate asked them.
“Crucify him!” they shouted.
“Why? What crime has he committed?” asked Pilate.
But they shouted all the louder, “Crucify him!”
Wanting to satisfy the crowd,
Pilate released Barabbas to them.
He had Jesus flogged, and handed him over to be crucified.
(Mark 15:1-15).
