14
said to them, Ye have brought to me this man as turning away the people [to rebellion], and behold, I, having examined him before you, have found nothing criminal in this man as to the things of which ye accuse him
15
nor Herod either, for I remitted you to him, and behold, nothing worthy of death is done by him.
16
Having chastised him therefore, I will release him.
17
( Now he was obliged to release one for them at the feast.)
18
But they cried out in a mass saying, Away with this [man] and release Barabbas to us;
19
who was one who, for a certain tumult which had taken place in the city, and [for] murder, had been cast into prison
20
Pilate therefore, desirous to release Jesus, again addressed [them].
21
But they cried out in reply saying, Crucify, crucify him
22
And he said the third time to them, What evil then has this [man] done? I have found no cause of death in him: I will chastise him therefore and release him.
23
But they were urgent with loud voices, begging that he might be crucified. And their voices [and those of the chief priests] prevailed.
24
And Pilate adjudged that what they begged should take place.
