24
So when Pilate saw that he was gaining nothing, but rather that a riot was beginning, he took water and washed his hands before the crowd, saying, "I am innocent of this man's blood; see to it yourselves."
25
And all the people answered, "His blood be on us and on our children!"
26
Then he released for them Barab'bas, and having scourged Jesus, delivered him to be crucified.
27
Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the praetorium, and they gathered the whole battalion before him.
28
And they stripped him and put a scarlet robe upon him,
29
and plaiting a crown of thorns they put it on his head, and put a reed in his right hand. And kneeling before him they mocked him, saying, "Hail, King of the Jews!"
30
And they spat upon him, and took the reed and struck him on the head.
31
And when they had mocked him, they stripped him of the robe, and put his own clothes on him, and led him away to crucify him.
32
As they went out, they came upon a man of Cyre'ne, Simon by name; this man they compelled to carry his cross.
33
And when they came to a place called Gol'gotha (which means the place of a skull),
34
they offered him wine to drink, mingled with gall; but when he tasted it, he would not drink it.
