13 And Pilate called together the hye priestes, and the rulers, and the people, 14 And said vnto them: Ye haue brought this man vnto me, as one yt peruerteth the people: and behold, I examine him before you, & finde no fault in this man of those thinges wherof ye accuse hym: 15 No, nor yet Herode: For I sent you to hym, and loe nothing worthy of death is done to hym. 16 I wyll therefore chasten hym, and let hym loose. 17 For of necessitie he must haue let one loose vnto them at the feast. 18 And all the people cryed at once, saying: Away with him, and deliuer to vs Barabbas. 19 Which for a certaine insurrection made in the citie, and for murther, was cast in pryson. 20 Pilate spake agayne to them, wyllyng to let Iesus loose. 21 But they cryed, saying: Crucifie hym, crucifie hym. 22 He sayde vnto them the thirde tyme: What euyll hath he done? I finde no cause of death in hym, I wyll therefore chasten hym, and let hym go. 23 And they were instant with loude voyces, requiring that he might be crucified. And the voyces of them, and of the hye priestes preuayled. 24 And Pilate gaue sentence, that it should be as they required. 25 And he let loose vnto them, him that for insurrection and murther was caste into prison, whom they had desired, & he deliuered vnto them Iesus, to do with hym what they woulde.
