13 Pilate having called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people, 14 said to them, You have brought to me this man, as revolutionizing the people: and behold, I, judging Him before you, found nothing in this man criminal of those things which you accuse against Him. 15 But Herod did not: for he sent Him back to us; and behold, nothing worthy of death has been done by Him. 16 Therefore having scourged Him, I will release Him. 18 And they unanimously cried out, saying, Take Him away, and release unto us Barabbas: 19 who had been cast into prison on account of certain sedition made in the city, and murder. 20 Then Pilate again called to them, wishing to release Jesus. 21 And they continued to shout aloud, saying, Crucify Him, crucify Him. 22 And he spoke to them the third time, For what evil hath He done? I found nothing in Him worthy of death: therefore having scourged Him, I will release Him. 23 And they continued to lay on with great voices, demanding that He should be crucified: and the voices of them and the high priests continued to grow stronger. 24 And Pilate decided that their request should be granted. 25 And released him who on account of sedition and murder had been cast into prison, and delivered up Jesus according to their wish.
