7
When he learned that Jesus was under Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who was also in Jerusalem at that time.
8 And Herod seeing Jesus, was very glad: for he was desirous of a long time to see him, because he had heard many things of him; and he hoped to see some sign wrought by him.
8
When Herod saw Jesus, he was greatly pleased, because for a long time he had been wanting to see him. From what he had heard about him, he hoped to see him perform a sign of some sort.

14 Said to them: You have presented unto me this man as one that perverteth the people. And behold I, having examined him before you, find no cause in this man, in those things wherein you accuse him
14
and said to them, “You brought me this man as one who was inciting the people to rebellion. I have examined him in your presence and have found no basis for your charges against him.
15 No, nor Herod neither. For, I sent you to him: and behold, nothing worthy of death is done to him.
15
Neither has Herod, for he sent him back to us; as you can see, he has done nothing to deserve death.
16 I will chastise him therefore and release him.
16
Therefore, I will punish him and then 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:
18
But the whole crowd shouted, “Away with this man! Release Barabbas to us!”
19 Who, for a certain sedition made in the city and for a murder, was cast into prison
19
(Barabbas had been thrown into prison for an insurrection in the city, and for murder.)
20 And Pilate again spoke to them, desiring to release Jesus.
20
Wanting to release Jesus, Pilate appealed to them again.
21 But they cried again, saying: Crucify him, Crucify him
21
But they kept shouting, “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.
22
For the third time he spoke to them: “Why? What crime has this man committed? I have found in him no grounds for the death penalty. Therefore I will have him punished and then release him.”
23 But they were instant with loud voices, requiring that he might be crucified. And their voices prevailed.
23
But with loud shouts they insistently demanded that he be crucified, and their shouts prevailed.
24 And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they required.
24
So Pilate decided to grant their demand.
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.
25
He released the man who had been thrown into prison for insurrection and murder, the one they asked for, and surrendered Jesus to their will.
