And Pilate gave sentence Resolved, determined, and gave out:
that it should be as they required; that they should have their request, what they asked for; namely, that Jesus should be crucified, and Barabbas released.
22
And he said to them the third time, "Why, what evil has this man done? I have found in Him no guilt demanding death; therefore I will punish Him and release Him."
23
But they were insistent, with loud voices asking that He be crucified. And their voices began to prevail.
24
And Pilate pronounced sentence that their demand be granted.
25
And he released the man they were asking for who had been thrown into prison for insurrection and murder, but he delivered Jesus to their will.
26
When they led Him away, they seized a man, Simon of Cyrene, coming in from the country, and placed on him the cross to carry behind Jesus.
