Logic is anything that makes sense. We can tell truth from false using (logic) I will use it on the Bible, on the subject of the crucifixion (which is The core belief of Christianity today) I will start with Pilate the governor.
Meanwhile Jesus stood before the governor, and the governor asked him, “Are you the king of the Jews?”
You have said so, Jesus replied.
When he was accused by the chief priests and the elders, he gave no answer.
Then Pilate asked him, “Don’t you hear the testimony they are bringing against you?”
But Jesus made no reply, not even to a single charge—to the great amazement of the governor.
Now it was the governor’s custom at the festival to release a prisoner chosen by the crowd. At that time they had a well-known prisoner whose name was Jesus Barabbas.
So when the crowd had gathered, Pilate asked them, “Which one do you want me to release to you: Jesus Barabbas, or Jesus who is called the Messiah?”
For he knew it was out of self-interest that they had handed Jesus over to him.
While Pilate was sitting on the judge’s seat, his wife sent him this message: “Don’t have anything to do with that innocent man, for I have suffered a great deal today in a dream because of him.”
But the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowd to ask for Barabbas and to have Jesus executed.
“Which of the two do you want me to release to you?” asked the governor.
“Barabbas,” they answered.
“What shall I do, then, with Jesus who is called the Messiah?” Pilate asked.
They all answered, Crucify him!
“Why? What crime has he committed?” asked Pilate.
But they shouted all the louder, “Crucify him!”
When Pilate saw that he was getting nowhere, but that instead an uproar was starting, he took water and washed his hands in front of the crowd. “I am innocent of this man’s blood,” he said. “It is your responsibility!.
All the people answered, “His blood is on us and on our children!”
Then he released Barabbas to them. But he had Jesus flogged, and handed him over to be crucified.
My comment
Logic say's: When Jesus came to the Jews they were slaves under the Romans, been slapped and kicked around. They at first thought Jesus was like Moses, And that he too will deliver them from slavery. But they did not understand Jesus. They were slaves under the Romans whip, So Pilate did not fear an uproar, Pilate had no fear from the Jews, but he had fear over the sake of his family and wife which he loved and respected. She who later was called saint Claudia or saint Procula. God showed her that dream to save Jesus, otherwise what's the point of her seen that dream?
After reading her letter he knew that if anything bad happen to Jesus, He and his wife will be damned. So, logic say's that he would never risk his life and his family for the sake of some slaves who are shouting, kill an innocent man for nothing and free the guilty one (Jesus of Barabbas). Barabbas was a rebel against Rome. He killed roman officers and soldiers, so he was condemned to death for insurrection against the Roman Empire; he was a terrorist to Rome Even if Pilate wanted, he could not let him go. As for the festival custom if there was ever one, It was his own custom, not Rome's. Pilate did not have the authority to release Barabbas, nor did the emperor of Rome. Could Obama release Ben laden if the Muslims asked him to?
Plus, how could the Jews say “His blood is on us and on our children!” why did they deliver him to the Romans then?!! They could have killed him themselves. But they were afraid of having his blood on them. How can a crowd of people answer all the same answer? They all together said “His blood is on us and on our children!” This is a clear fabrication from the anonymous writers of the Bible.
If the Jews did force Pilate to crucify Jesus Christ, he wouldn't have scourged him so brutally knowing his innocent, he would have crucified him with dignity and respect.
What Pilate really did, He crucified Jesus of Barabbas.
Barabbas looked a lot like Jesus, and with the beating he took, his face was bruised and covered with blood, and so the crowd mistook him for Jesus Christ. The roman soldiers slapped him and mocked him and crowned him with thorns and called him the king of the Jews, They were very angry at him for he had killed Roman soldiers.
Pilate took Jesus Christ into one of his gardens and disguised him as a gardener.
Al Quran an Nisa 157
وقولهم إنا قتلنا المسيح عيسى ابن مريم رسول الله وما قتلوه وما صلبوه ولكن شبه لهم وإن الذين اختلفوا فيه لفي شكّ منه ما لهم به من علم إلا اتباع الظن وما قتلوه يقينا
the meaning of the holy verse in English.
And for their saying, “Indeed, we have killed the Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, the messenger of Allah .” And they did not kill him, nor did they crucify him; but it seemed to them. And indeed, those who differ over it are in doubt about it. They have no knowledge of it except the following of assumption. And they did not kill him, for certain.
( Barabbas was not a thief nor were the men with him, they were rebellions against the occupation of Rome, the Romans were pagans, an enemy of god and the Jews, So Barabbas was a hero, a martyr and a sacrifice for Jesus, if Barabbas succeeded in his rebellion, he would have become king of the Jews )
