13 And Pilate having called together the chief priests and rulers and people, 14 Said to them, Ye have brought to me this man, as perverting the people: and, behold, I having examined him before you, have found nothing blameworthy in this man, of what things ye bring an accusation against him: 15 But neither Herod: for I sent you forth to him; and, behold, nothing worthy of death is done to him. 16 Therefore, having chastised him, I will release. 17 (And he had necessity to loose one at the festival.) 18 And they cried out with the entire multitude, saying, Take this away, and loose to us Barabbas: 19 (Who was for a certain sedition having been in the city, and slaughter, cast into prison.) 20 Again Pilate called, wishing to loose Jesus. 21 And they exclaimed, saying, Crucify, crucify him. 22 And he said to them the third time, For what evil has he done I have found no cause of death in him: therefore, having corrected him, I will loose. 23 And they were urgent with great voices, asking for him to be crucified. And their voices and the chief priests overcame. 24 And Pilate sanctioned their asking to be done. 25 And he loosed to them him cast into prison for sedition, and slaughter, which they demanded; and delivered Jesus to their will.
