16
I will chastise him therefore and release him.
17
Now of necessity he was to release unto them one upon the feast day.
18
But the whole multitude together cried out, saying: Away with this man, and release unto us Barabbas:
19
Who, for a certain sedition made in the city and for a murder, was cast into prison
20
And Pilate again spoke to them, desiring to release Jesus.
21
But they cried again, saying: Crucify him, Crucify him
22
And he said to them the third time: Why, what evil hath this man done? I find no cause of death in him. I will chastise him therefore and let him go.
23
But they were instant with loud voices, requiring that he might be crucified. And their voices prevailed.
24
And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they required.
25
And he released unto them him who for murder and sedition had been cast into prison, whom they had desired. But Jesus he delivered up to their will.
26
And as they led him away, they laid hold of one Simon of Cyrene, coming from the country; and they laid the cross on him to carry after Jesus.
