And when the multitude was come up, they began to desire that he would do as he had ever done unto them.

And Pilate answered them and said: Will you that I release to you the king of the Jews?
10
For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him up out of envy.
11
But the chief priests moved the people, that he should rather release Barabbas to them.
12
And Pilate again answering, saith to them: What will you then that I do to the king of the Jews?
13
But they again cried out: Crucify him.
14
And Pilate saith to them: Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more: Crucify him.
15
And so Pilate being willing to satisfy the people, released to them Barabbas: and delivered up Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified.
16
And the soldiers led him away into the court of the palace: and they called together the whole band.
17
And they clothed him with purple: and, platting a crown of thorns, they put it upon him.
18
And they began to salute him: Hail, king of the Jews.
