22
Pilate said unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus who is called Christ?
They all say unto him, Let him be crucified.
23
And the governor said, Why, what evil has he done? But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified.
24
When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but
that rather a tumult was made, he took water and washed
his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person; see ye
to it.
25
Then all the people answered and said, His blood
be on us and on our children.
26
Then he released Barabbas unto them; and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered
him to be crucified.
27
Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall and gathered unto him the whole band
of soldiers.
28
And they stripped him and put on him a scarlet robe.
29
And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put
it upon his head and a reed in his right hand; and they bowed the knee before him and mocked him, saying, Receive joy, King of the Jews!
30
And they spit upon him and took the reed and smote him on the head.
31
And after they had mocked him, they took the robe off from him and put his own raiment on him and led him away to crucify him.
32
And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name; him they compelled to bear his
cross {Gr. stauros – stake}.
