13
And Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests, and the rulers, and the people,
14
Said to them, Ye have brought this man to me, as one that perverteth the people: and behold, I, having examined [him] before you, have found no fault in this man, touching those things of which ye accuse him
15
No, nor yet Herod: for I sent you to him; and lo, nothing worthy of death is done to him:
16
I will therefore chastise him, and release [him].
17
(For of necessity he must release one to them at the feast.)
18
And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this [man], and release to us Barabbas:
19
(Who, for a certain sedition made in the city, and for murder, was cast into prison.
20
Pilate therefore, willing to release Jesus, spoke again to them.
21
But they cried, saying, Crucify, crucify him
22
And he said to them the third time, Why, what evil hath he done? I have found no cause of death in him; I will therefore chastise him, and let [him] go.
23
And they were urgent with loud voices, requiring that he might be crucified: and the voices of them, and of the chief priests prevailed.
