Luke 23:13-22

¹³And Pilate having called together the chief priests, and the rulers, and the people,

¹⁴said unto them, 'Ye brought to me this man as perverting the people, and lo, I before you having examined, found in this man no fault in those things ye bring forward against him;

¹⁵no, nor yet Herod, for I sent you back unto him, and lo, nothing worthy of death is having been done by him;

¹⁶having chastised, therefore, I will release him,'

¹⁷for it was necessary for him to release to them one at every feast,

¹⁸and they cried out — the whole multitude — saying, 'Away with this one, and release to us Barabbas,'

¹⁹who had been, because of a certain sedition made in the city, and murder, cast into prison.

²⁰Pilate again then — wishing to release Jesus — called to them,

²¹but they were calling out, saying, 'Crucify, crucify him.'

²²And he a third time said unto them, 'Why, what evil did he? no cause of death did I find in him; having chastised him, then, I will release him.'
