And Pilate answering said to them again, What will ye then that I do [to him] whom ye call King of the Jews?
13
And they cried out again, Crucify him.
14
And Pilate said to them, What evil then has he done? But they cried out the more urgently, Crucify him.
15
And Pilate, desirous of contenting the crowd, released to them Barabbas, and delivered up Jesus, when he had scourged him, that he might be crucified.
16
And the soldiers led him away into the court which is [called the] praetorium, and they call together the whole band.
17
And they clothe him with purple, and bind round on him a crown of thorns which they had plaited.
18
And they began to salute him, Hail, King of the Jews!
19
And they struck his head with a reed, and spat on him, and, bending the knee, did him homage.
20
And when they had mocked him, they took the purple off him, and put his own clothes on him; and they lead him out that they may crucify him.
21
And they compel to go [with them] a certain passer-by, Simon, a Cyrenian, coming from the field, the father of Alexander and Rufus, that he might carry his cross.
22
And they bring him to the place [called] Golgotha, which, being interpreted, is Place of a skull.
