Luke 23:13-25 ▼

13 And Pilate, calling together the high priests and the rulers and the people,

14 said to them, "Ye brought to me This Man as One perverting the people and, behold, I, having examined Him before you, found no fault in This Man regarding those things of which ye accuse Him;

15 no, nor yet Herod; for he sent Him hack to us; and, behold, nothing worthy of death has been done by Him.

16 Chastising Him , therefore, I will release Him"

17 OMITTED TEXT.

18 But they cried out again with all the multitude, saying, "Away with Him! and release to us Barabbas!"?

19 one who, indeed, because of a certain insurrection made in the city, and of murder, was cast into prison.

20 And again Pilate called to them, wishing to release Jesus.

21 But they kept calling out, saying, "Crucify, crucify Him!"

22 But he said to them the third time, "Why, what evil did This Man do? I found in Him nothing worthy of death. Chastising Him, therefore, I will release Him."

23 But they were urgent, with loud voices, asking that He might be crucified. And their voices prevailed.

24 And Pilate gave judgment that their request should be executed;

25 and he released him who, because of insurrection and murder, had been cast into prison, for whom they were asking; but he delivered up Jesus to their will.
