Innocence Under Trial
Luke 23:21-22 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Luke 23 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The crowd presses for crucifixion. Pilate declares no fault in Jesus and proposes punishment with release.
Neville's Inner Vision
Picture the scene as a metaphor of your own consciousness. The crowd within, the insistence that there is guilt, shouts 'Crucify'—yet the higher I AM speaks through Pilate, 'I have found no fault.' This is not a historical verdict but a state of mind: you are the one who judges, and you can refuse the death of belief. The 'death' spoken of is the old sense of separation; the corrective impulse (chastisement) can be read as inner discipline that clears the misperception and lets a new release become your experience. In truth, innocence is the ground of being; righteousness is your natural state. When you dwell as the I AM, you neutralize the crowd and choose mercy instead of condemnation. The outer world then reflects this inner verdict: you are not condemned, but freed to re-enter the life of awareness. Practice shifting your attention from accusation to inquiry, and feel it real—the inner self remains untouched by error.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and imagine the inner crowd crying 'Crucify'—then revise aloud: 'I crucify fear and doubt; I release all sense of guilt.' Feel the new calm and innocence.
