13 And Pilate, having called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people, 14 said to them, “You? brought to me this man as one misleading the people; and behold, having examined Him before you?, I found nothing in this man guilty of that accusation you? are bringing against Him— 15 no, nor even Herod, for he sent Him back to us. And behold, nothing worthy of death is done by Him. 16 Therefore, having chastised Him, I will release Him.” 18 But they cried out all together, saying, “Away with this man, and release to us Barabbas,” 19 who was one having been cast into the prison on account of a certain insurrection having been made in the city, and murder. 20 Therefore Pilate, wanting to release Jesus, called to them again. 21 But they were crying out, saying, “Crucify! Crucify Him!” 22 And he said to them a third time, “What evil indeed did this man commit? I found no cause of death in Him. Therefore having chastised Him, I will release Him.” 23 But they were urgent, asking with loud voices for Him to be crucified. And their voices were prevailing. 24 And Pilate sentenced their demand to be done. 25 And he released the one having been cast into prison on account of insurrection and murder, whom they had asked for; and Jesus he delivered up to their will.
