13
they once more shouted out, "Crucify Him!"
14
"Why, what crime has he committed?" asked Pilate. But they vehemently shouted, "Crucify Him!"
15
So Pilate, wishing to satisfy the mob, released Barabbas for them, and after scourging Jesus handed Him over for crucifixion.
16
Then the soldiers led Him away into the court of the Palace (the Praetorium), and calling together the whole battalion
17
they arrayed Him in crimson, placed on His head a wreath of thorny twigs which they had twisted,
18
and went on to salute Him with shouts of "Long live the King of the Jews."
19
Then they began to beat Him on the head with a cane, to spit on Him, and to do Him homage on bended knees.
20
At last, having finished their sport, they took the robe off Him, put His own clothes on Him, and led Him out to crucify Him.
21
One Simon, a Cyrenaean, the father of Alexander and Rufus, was passing along, coming from the country: him they compelled to carry His cross.
22
So they brought Him to the place called Golgotha, which, being translated, means `Skull-ground.'
23
Here they offered Him wine mixed with myrrh; but He refused it.
