For what cause should he suffer under Pilate, as being his Judg?

That he being innocent and condemned before a civil Judg might deliver us from the severe Judgment of God which remained for all men.

Proofs

• That he being innocent (Luke 23:14; John 19:4)
• and condemned before a civil Judg (Psalm 69:4; Isaiah 53:4–5; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Galatians 3:13)
• might deliver us from the severe Judgment of God which remained for all men.
