27: The band of soldiers could have been as many as five or six hundred. No matter how many their were exactly, it was a large multitude of ruffian Romans. They were neither religious, like the Jews, or refined, like Pilate. They were very possibly part of the same group that came to arrest Jesus the night before. They took Jesus into the Praetorium, the judgement hall, likely located inside Pilate’s castle of Antonia. It was a large place, well suited for the evil purposes they had.
