17
Therefore Pilate said to them, when they were [gathered] together, Whom will ye, that I deliver to you [Whom will ye, I let go, or deliver, to you]? whether Barabbas, or Jesus, that is said Christ?
18
For he knew, that by envy they betrayed him. [Soothly he knew, that by envy they betook him.]
19
And while he sat for doomsman [Forsooth him sitting for judge], his wife sent to him, and said [saying], Nothing to thee and to that just man; for I have suffered this day many things for him, by a vision [by a vision, or sweven].
20
Forsooth the princes of priests, and the elder men counseled the people, that they should ask Barabbas, but they should destroy Jesus. [Forsooth the princes of priests and elder men counseled the peoples, that they should ask Barabbas, but Jesus they should lose.]
21
But the justice answered, and said to them, Whom of the twain will ye, that be delivered to you [Forsooth the president answering saith to them, Whom of the two will ye to be let go, or delivered, to you]? And they said, Barabbas.
22
Pilate saith to them, What then shall I do of Jesus, that is said Christ [which is said Christ]? All they say, Be he crucified.
23
The justice saith to them, What evil hath he done? And they cried more, and said, Be he crucified. [+The president said to them, Soothly what of evil hath he done/Soothly what evil hath he done? And they cried more, saying, Be he crucified.]
24
And Pilate seeing that he profited nothing, but that more [a] noise was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the people, and said, I am guiltless of the blood of this rightful man; busy you [+saying, I am innocent, or guiltless, of the blood of this just man; see ye].
25
And all the people answered, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children.
26
Then he delivered to them Barabbas, but he took to them Jesus scourged [+Then he let go to them Barabbas, but he betook to them Jesus scourged], to be crucified.
27
Then [the] knights of the justice [Then knights of the president] took Jesus in the moot hall, and gathered to him all the company of knights.
