Luke 23:2-25 in English

² And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this man perverting our nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Cæsar, and saying that he himself is Christ a king.

³ And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answered him and said, Thou sayest.

⁴ And Pilate said unto the chief priests and the multitudes, I find no fault in this man.

⁵ But they were the more urgent, saying, He stirreth up the people, teaching throughout all Judæa, and beginning from Galilee even unto this place.

⁶ But when Pilate heard it, he asked whether the man were a Galilæan.

⁷ And when he knew that he was of Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him unto Herod, who himself also was at Jerusalem in these days.

⁸ Now when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad: for he was of a long time desirous to see him, because he had heard concerning him; and he hoped to see some miracle done by him.

⁹ And he questioned him in many words; but he answered him nothing.

¹⁰ And the chief priests and the scribes stood, vehemently accusing him.

¹¹ And Herod with his soldiers set him at nought, and mocked him, and arraying him in gorgeous apparel sent him back to Pilate.

¹² And Herod and Pilate became friends with each other that very day: for before they were at enmity between themselves.

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

¹⁴ and said unto them, Ye brought unto me this man, as one that perverteth the people: and behold, I, having examined him before you, found no fault in this man touching those things whereof ye accuse him:

¹⁵ no, nor yet Herod: for he sent him back unto us; and behold, nothing worthy of death hath been done by him.

¹⁶ I will therefore chastise him, and release him.

¹⁸ But they cried out all together, saying, Away with this man, and release unto us Barabbas:—

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

²⁰ And Pilate spake unto them again, desiring to release Jesus;

²¹ but they shouted, saying, Crucify, crucify him.

²² And he said unto them the third time, Why, what evil hath this man done? I have found no cause of death in him: I will therefore chastise him and release him.

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

²⁴ And Pilate gave sentence that what they asked for should be done.

²⁵ And he released him that for insurrection and murder had been cast into prison, whom they asked for; but Jesus he delivered up to their will.

² And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this fellow perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Cæsar, saying that he himself is Christ a King.

³ And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answered him and said, Thou sayest it.

⁴ Then said Pilate to the chief priests and to the people, I find no fault in this man.

⁵ And they were the more fierce, saying, He stirreth up the people, teaching throughout all Jewry, beginning from Galilee to this place.

⁶ When Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked whether the man were a Galilæan.

⁷ And as soon as he knew that he belonged unto Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who himself also was at Jerusalem at that time.

⁸ And when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad: for he was desirous to see him of a long season, because he had heard many things of him; and he hoped to have seen some miracle done by him.

⁹ Then he questioned with him in many words; but he answered him nothing.

¹⁰ And the chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently accused him.

¹¹ And Herod with his men of war set him at nought, and mocked him, and arrayed him in a gorgeous robe, and sent him again to Pilate.

¹² And the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends together: for before they were at enmity between themselves.

¹³ And Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people,

¹⁴ Said unto them, Ye have brought this man unto me, as one that perverteth the people: and, behold, I, having examined him before you, have found no fault in this man touching those things whereof ye accuse him:

¹⁵ No, nor yet Herod: for I sent you to him; and, lo, nothing worthy of death is done unto him.

¹⁶ I will therefore chastise him, and release him.

¹⁷ (For of necessity he must release one unto them at the feast.)

¹⁸ And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this man, and release unto us Barabbas:

¹⁹ (Who for a certain sedition made in the city, and for murder, was cast into prison.)

²⁰ Pilate therefore, willing to release Jesus, spake again to them.

²¹ But they cried, saying, Crucify him, crucify him.

²² And he said unto them the third time, Why, what evil hath he done? I have found no cause of death in him: I will therefore chastise him, and let him go.

²³ And they were instant with loud voices, requiring that he might be crucified. And the voices of them and of the chief priests prevailed.

²⁴ And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they required.

²⁵ And he released unto them him that for sedition and murder was cast into prison, whom they had desired; but he delivered Jesus to their will.

² And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this fellow perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Cæsar, saying that he himself is Christ a King.

¹⁴ Said unto them, Ye have brought this man unto me, as one that perverteth the people: and, behold, I, having examined him before you, have found no fault in this man touching those things whereof ye accuse him:

²² And he said unto them the third time, Why, what evil hath this man done? I have found no cause of death in him: I will therefore chastise him and release him.

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

²⁴ And Pilate gave sentence that what they asked for should be done.

²⁵ And he released him that for insurrection and murder had been cast into prison, whom they asked for; but Jesus he delivered up to their will.

² They began to accuse Jesus, saying, “We (exc) have determined that this fellow has caused political trouble in our country. He has been telling people that they should not pay taxes to the Roman government MTY. Also, he says that he is the Messiah, a king!”

³ Pilate asked him, “Do you (sg) claim that you are the King of the Jews?” He replied, “ It is as you have just now said.”

⁴ Pilate said to the chief priests and the rest of the crowd, “I do not conclude that this man is guilty of any crime.”

⁵ But they kept insisting, “He is inciting the people to riot! He has been teaching his ideas throughout all of Judea district. He started doing it in Galilee district and now he is doing it here!”

⁶ When Pilate heard that, he asked, “Is this man from Galilee district?”

⁷ When they told him that Jesus was from Galilee, which was the district that Herod Antipas ruled, he told them to take Jesus to Herod Antipas, because Herod was in Jerusalem at that time.

⁸ So they did. When Herod saw Jesus, he was very happy. He had heard about Jesus, and he had been hoping for a long time that he could see Jesus perform a miracle.

⁹ So he asked Jesus many questions, but Jesus did not reply to any of them.

¹⁰ The chief priests and men who taught the Jewish laws stood near Jesus, accusing him very strongly.

¹¹ Then Herod and his soldiers ◄made fun of/ridiculed► Jesus. They put gorgeous clothes on him to mock him as being a king. Then Herod sent him back to Pilate.

¹² Until that time Herod and Pilate had been very hostile to each other, but that very day they became friends.

¹³ Pilate then gathered together the chief priests and other Jewish leaders and the crowd that was still there.

¹⁴ He said to them, “You brought this man to me, saying that he had caused trouble among the people. But I want you to know that after having examined him while you were listening, I do not conclude that he is guilty of any of the things that you are accusing him about.

¹⁵ Obviously Herod did not conclude that either, because he sent him back to me without punishing him. So it is clear that this man has not done anything for which we (inc) should kill him.

¹⁶ So I will have my soldiers flog him and then release him.”

¹⁸ But the whole crowd shouted, “Execute this man! Release Barrabas for us (exc)!”

¹⁹ Barrabas was a man who had tried to persuade people in the city to rebel against the Roman government. While doing that, he had murdered someone. So he had been put {they had put him} in prison, where he was waiting to be executed.

²⁰ Because Pilate wanted to release Jesus, he tried to persuade the crowd again.

²¹ But they kept shouting, “ Command your soldiers to kill him by nailing him to a cross!/Have him crucified!”

²² He spoke to them a third time and asked them, “Why? What crime has he committed? I have concluded that he has done nothing for which he deserves to die. So I will have my soldiers flog him and then release him.”

²³ But they kept insisting. They shouted loudly that Jesus should be nailed {that Pilate should have his soldiers nail Jesus} to a cross. Finally, because they continued to shout PRS so loudly,

²⁴ Pilate decided to do what the crowd requested.

²⁵ The man who had been {whom they had} put in prison because he had rebelled against the government and who had murdered someone, he released! That was the man whom the crowd had asked him to release. He handed Jesus over to the soldiers, to do what the crowd wanted.

² They began to accuse him, saying, “We found this man perverting the nation, forbidding paying taxes to Caesar, and saying that he himself is Christ, a king.”

³ Pilate asked him, “Are you the King of the Jews?” He answered him, “So you say.”

⁴ Pilate said to the chief priests and the multitudes, “I find no basis for a charge against this man.”

⁵ But they insisted, saying, “He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee even to this place.”

⁶ But when Pilate heard Galilee mentioned, he asked if the man was a Galilean.

⁷ When he found out that he was in Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who was also in Jerusalem during those days.

⁸ Now when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceedingly glad, for he had wanted to see him for a long time, because he had heard many things about him. He hoped to see some miracle done by him.

⁹ He questioned him with many words, but he gave no answers.

¹⁰ The chief priests and the scribes stood, vehemently accusing him.

¹¹ Herod with his soldiers humiliated him and mocked him. Dressing him in luxurious clothing, they sent him back to Pilate.

¹² Herod and Pilate became friends with each other that very day, for before that they were enemies with each other.

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

¹⁴ and said to them, “You brought this man to me as one that perverts the people, and behold, having examined him before you, I found no basis for a charge against this man concerning those things of which you accuse him.

¹⁵ Neither has Herod, for I sent you to him, and see, nothing worthy of death has been done by him.

¹⁶ I will therefore chastise him and release him.”

¹⁷ Now he had to release one prisoner to them at the feast.

¹⁸ But they all cried out together, saying, “Away with this man! Release to us Barabbas!”—

¹⁹ one who was thrown into prison for a certain revolt in the city, and for murder.

²⁰ Then Pilate spoke to them again, wanting to release Jesus,

²¹ but they shouted, saying, “Crucify! Crucify him!”

²² He said to them the third time, “Why? What evil has this man done? I have found no capital crime in him. I will therefore chastise him and release him.”

²³ But they were urgent with loud voices, asking that he might be crucified. Their voices and the voices of the chief priests prevailed.

²⁴ Pilate decreed that what they asked for should be done.

²⁵ He released him who had been thrown into prison for insurrection and murder, for whom they asked, but he delivered Jesus up to their will.

² They began to accuse him, saying, “We found this man perverting the nation, forbidding paying taxes to Caesar, and saying that he himself is Christ, a king.”

³ Pilate asked him, “Are you the King of the Jews?” He answered him, “So you say.”

⁴ Pilate said to the chief priests and the multitudes, “I find no basis for a charge against this man.”

⁵ But they insisted, saying, “He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee even to this place.”

²³ But they were urgent with loud voices, asking that he might be crucified. Their voices and the voices of the chief priests prevailed.

²⁴ Pilate decreed that what they asked for should be done.

²⁵ He released him who had been thrown into prison for insurrection and murder, for whom they asked, but he delivered Jesus up to their will.

² And they made statements against him, saying, This man has to our knowledge been teaching our nation to do wrong, and not to make payment of taxes to Caesar, even saying that he himself is Christ, a king.

³ And Pilate said to him, Are you the King of the Jews? And he said in answer, You say so.

⁴ And Pilate said to the chief priests and the people, In my opinion this man has done no wrong.

⁵ But they became more violent than before, saying, He has made trouble among the people, teaching through all Judaea from Galilee to this place.

⁶ But at these words Pilate said, Is the man a Galilaean?

⁷ And when he saw that he was under the authority of Herod, he sent him to Herod, who was in Jerusalem himself at that time.

⁸ Now when Herod saw Jesus he was very glad, having for a long time had a desire to see him, for he had had accounts of him, and was hoping to see some wonders done by him.

⁹ And he put a great number of questions to him, but he said nothing.

¹⁰ And the chief priests and the scribes were there, making statements against him violently.

¹¹ And Herod, with the men of his army, put shame on him and made sport of him, and dressing him in shining robes, he sent him back to Pilate.

¹² And that day Herod and Pilate became friends with one another, for before they had been against one another.

¹³ And Pilate sent for the chief priests and the rulers and the people, and said to them,

¹⁴ You say that this man has been teaching the people evil things: now I, after going into the question before you, see nothing wrong in this man in connection with the things which you have said against him:

¹⁵ And Herod is of the same opinion, for he has sent him back to us; for, you see, he has done nothing for which I might put him to death.

¹⁶ And so I will give him punishment and let him go.

¹⁸ But with loud voices they said all together, Put this man to death, and make Barabbas free.

¹⁹ Now this man was in prison because of an attack against the government in the town, in which there had been loss of life.

²⁰ And Pilate again said to them that it was his desire to let Jesus go free.

²¹ But crying out they said, To the cross with him!

²² And he said to them a third time, Why, what evil has he done? I see no reason for putting him to death: I will give him punishment and let him go.

²³ But they went on crying out loudly, Let him be put to death on the cross. And they had their way.

²⁴ And Pilate gave his decision for their desire to be put into effect.

²⁵ And in answer to their request, he let that man go free who had been in prison for acting against the government and causing death, and Jesus he gave up to their pleasure.

² And they began to accuse him, saying, We have found this man perverting our nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying that he himself is Christ, a king.

³ And Pilate demanded of him saying, Art thou the king of the Jews? And he answering him said, Thou sayest.

⁴ And Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, I find no guilt in this man.

⁵ But they insisted, saying, He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judaea, beginning from Galilee even on to here.

⁶ But Pilate, having heard Galilee named, demanded if the man were a Galilaean;

⁷ and having learned that he was of Herod's jurisdiction, remitted him to Herod, who himself also was at Jerusalem in those days.

⁸ And when Herod saw Jesus he greatly rejoiced, for he had been a long while desirous of seeing him, because of hearing many things concerning him, and he hoped to see some sign done by him;

⁹ and he questioned him in many words, but he answered him nothing.

¹⁰ And the chief priests and the scribes stood and accused him violently.

¹¹ And Herod with his troops having set him at nought and mocked him, having put a splendid robe upon him, sent him back to Pilate.

¹² And Pilate and Herod became friends with one another the same day, for they had been at enmity before between themselves.

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

¹⁴ said to them, Ye have brought to me this man as turning away the people to rebellion, and behold, I, having examined him before you, have found nothing criminal in this man as to the things of which ye accuse him;

¹⁵ nor Herod either, for I remitted you to him, and behold, nothing worthy of death is done by him.

¹⁶ Having chastised him therefore, I will release him.

¹⁷ (Now he was obliged to release one for them at the feast.)

¹⁸ But they cried out in a mass saying, Away with this man and release Barabbas to us;

¹⁹ who was one who, for a certain tumult which had taken place in the city, and for murder, had been cast into prison.

²⁰ Pilate therefore, desirous to release Jesus, again addressed them.

²¹ But they cried out in reply saying, Crucify, crucify him.

²² And he said the third time to them, What evil then has this man done? I have found no cause of death in him: I will chastise him therefore and release him.

²³ But they were urgent with loud voices, begging that he might be crucified. And their voices and those of the chief priests prevailed.

²⁴ And Pilate adjudged that what they begged should take place.

²⁵ And he released him who, for tumult and murder, had been cast into prison, whom they begged for, and Jesus he delivered up to their will.

² And they began to accuse him, saying: We have found this man perverting our nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, and saying that he is Christ the king.

³ And Pilate asked him, saying: Art thou the king of the Jews? But he answering, said: Thou sayest it.

⁴ And Pilate said to the chief priests and to the multitudes: I find no cause in this man.

⁵ But they were more earnest, saying: He stirreth up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee to this place.

⁶ But Pilate hearing Galilee, asked if the man were of Galilee?

⁷ And when he understood that he was of Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him away to Herod, who was also himself at Jerusalem, in those days.

⁸ And Herod, seeing Jesus, was very glad; for he was desirous of a long time to see him, because he had heard many things of him; and he hoped to see some sign wrought by him.

⁹ And he questioned him in many words. But he answered him nothing.

¹⁰ And the chief priests and the scribes stood by, earnestly accusing him.

¹¹ And Herod with his army set him at nought, and mocked him, putting on him a white garment, and sent him back to Pilate.

¹² And Herod and Pilate were made friends, that same day; for before they were enemies one to another.

¹³ And Pilate, calling together the chief priests, and the magistrates, and the people,

¹⁴ Said to them: You have presented unto me this man, as one that perverteth the people; and behold I, having examined him before you, find no cause in this man, in those things wherein you accuse him.

¹⁵ No, nor Herod neither. For I sent you to him, and behold, nothing worthy of death is done to him.

¹⁶ I will chastise him therefore, and release him.

¹⁷ Now of necessity he was to release unto them one upon the feast day.

¹⁸ But the whole multitude together cried out, saying: Away with this man, and release unto us Barabbas:

¹⁹ Who, for a certain sedition made in the city, and for a murder, was cast into prison.

²⁰ And Pilate again spoke to them, desiring to release Jesus.

²¹ But they cried again, saying: Crucify him, crucify him.

²² And he said to them the third time: Why, what evil hath this man done? I find no cause of death in him. I will chastise him therefore, and let him go.

²³ But they were instant with loud voices, requiring that he might be crucified; and their voices prevailed.

²⁴ And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they required.

²⁵ And he released unto them him who for murder and sedition, had been cast into prison, whom they had desired; but Jesus he delivered up to their will.

² And they began to accuse Him, saying, “We found this Man perverting the nation, and forbidding to pay taxes to Caesar, saying that He Himself is Christ, a King.”

³ Then Pilate questioned Him, saying, “Are You the King of the Jews?” He answered him and said, “You are saying what is so.”

⁴ But Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, “I find no guilt in this Man.”

⁵ But they insisted, saying, “He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee to here.”

⁶ When Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked if the Man were a Galilean.

⁷ And when he found out that He belonged to Herod's jurisdiction, he sent Him to Herod, who was also in Jerusalem in those days.

⁸ Now when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceedingly glad; for he had desired for a long time to see Him, because he had heard many things about Him, and he was hoping to see some miracle done by Him.

⁹ Then he questioned Him with many words, but He answered him nothing.

¹⁰ And the chief priests and scribes stood, vehemently accusing Him.

¹¹ Then Herod, with his men of war, having treated Him with contempt, and having mocked Him, arrayed Him in a gorgeous robe, and sent Him back to Pilate.

¹² That very day Pilate and Herod became friends with each other, for previously they had been at enmity with each other.

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

¹⁴ said to them, “You have brought this Man to me, on the charge of misleading the people. And indeed, when I examined Him in your presence, I found no guilt in this Man in the matters which you bring as charges against Him;

¹⁵ and neither did Herod, for I sent you back to him; and indeed nothing worthy of death has been done by Him.

¹⁶ Therefore when I have flogged Him, I will release Him.”

¹⁷ (For it was necessary for him to release one to them at the feast.)

¹⁸ But they all cried out together, saying, “Away with this Man, and release to us Barabbas”—

¹⁹ who because of a certain insurrection having occurred in the city had been thrown into prison, and for murder.

²⁰ Pilate, therefore, wishing to release Jesus, again called out to them.

²¹ But they cried out, saying, “Crucify, crucify Him!”

²² Then he said to them the third time, “Why, what evil has He done? I have found no guilt deserving death in Him. Therefore when I have flogged Him, I will release Him.”

²³ But they were insistent, demanding with loud voices that He be crucified. And their voices and those of the chief priests prevailed.

²⁴ So Pilate decided that their request should be carried out.

²⁵ And he released whom they were requesting, who because of insurrection and murder had been thrown into prison; but he delivered Jesus to their will.

² And they began to accuse Him, saying, “We found this fellow perverting the nation and forbidding to pay taxes to Caesar, declaring himself to be Christ, a king.”

³ So Pilate questioned Him, saying, “Are you the king of the Jews?” In reply He said to him, “You said it!”

⁴ Then Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, “I find no guilt in this man.”

⁵ But they insisted, saying, “He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee even to here.”

⁶ When Pilate heard ‘Galilee’, he asked if the man was a Galilean.

⁷ Upon learning that He belonged to Herod's jurisdiction, he sent Him to Herod, who was also in Jerusalem during those days.

⁸ Now when Herod saw Jesus, he was really pleased, because for a long time he had been wanting to see Him, having heard so many things about Him; and he was hoping to see some miracle performed by Him.

⁹ He questioned Him with many words, but He gave him no answer.

¹⁰ On their part, the high priests and scribes stood by, vehemently accusing Him.

¹¹ Then Herod and his soldiers, after ridiculing and mocking Him, arrayed Him in a gorgeous robe and sent Him back to Pilate.

¹² (That very day Pilate and Herod became friends with each other—previously having been at odds with each other.)

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

¹⁴ said to them: “You have brought this man to me as one who misleads the people, and yet, having examined him in your presence, I have found no guilt in this man as to those things of which you accuse him.

¹⁵ Further, neither did Herod (for I sent you on to him); indeed, nothing deserving of death has been done by him.

¹⁶ I will therefore flog and release him.”

¹⁷ (It was necessary for him to release one to them at the feast.)

¹⁸ But they all cried out together, saying: “Away with this one! Release to us Barabbas!”—

¹⁹ who had been thrown into prison for a certain insurrection in the city, and for murder.

²⁰ Then Pilate, wanting to release Jesus, addressed them again.

²¹ But they just kept shouting: “Crucify! Crucify him!”

²² For the third time he said to them: “But what evil has this man done? I have found no reason for death in him. I will therefore flog and release him.”

²³ But they were insistent, demanding with loud voices that He be crucified! And their voices, especially of the chief priests, prevailed.

²⁴ So Pilate decided to grant their demand.

²⁵ He released the one who had been thrown into prison for insurrection and murder, the one they asked for; but he delivered Jesus to their will.

² There they started to accuse him. “We found this man deceiving our nation, telling people not to pay taxes to Caesar, and claiming he is Messiah, a king,” they said.

³ “Are you the King of the Jews?” Pilate asked him. “So you say,” replied Jesus.

⁴ Then Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, “I don't find this man guilty of any crime.”

⁵ But they insisted, saying, “He is inciting rebellion all over Judea with his teachings, from Galilee to right here in Jerusalem.”

⁶ When he heard this, Pilate asked, “Is this man a Galilean?”

⁷ When he discovered that Jesus came under Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod who was also in Jerusalem at the time.

⁸ Herod was very pleased to see Jesus since he had wanted to meet him for a long time. He had heard about Jesus and was hoping to see him perform a miracle.

⁹ He asked Jesus many questions, but Jesus did not answer him at all.

¹⁰ The chief priests and religious teachers stood there, angrily accusing him.

¹¹ Herod and his soldiers treated Jesus with contempt and mocked him. Then they placed a royal robe on him and sent him back to Pilate.

¹² From that day on Herod and Pilate were friends—before that they had been enemies.

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

¹⁴ and told them, “You brought this man before me, accusing him of inciting the people to rebellion. I've carefully examined him in your presence, and do not find him guilty of the charges you have brought against him.

¹⁵ Neither did Herod, for he sent him back to us. He has done nothing that demands he should be put to death.

¹⁶ So I will have him flogged and then release him.”

¹⁸ But they all shouted together, “Kill this man, and release Barabbas to us.”

¹⁹ (Barabbas had been put in prison for taking part in a rebellion in the city, and for murder.)

²⁰ Pilate wanted to release Jesus, so spoke to them again.

²¹ But they kept on shouting, “Crucify him! Crucify him!”

²² Pilate asked them for the third time, “But why? What crime has he committed? I don't find any reason for executing him. So I will have him flogged and then release him.”

²³ But they continued insisting with loud shouts, demanding that he be crucified. Their shouting succeeded,

²⁴ and Pilate gave the sentence they demanded.

²⁵ He released the man imprisoned for rebellion and murder, but he sent Jesus to be put to death in accordance with their demands.

² And they began to accuse him, saying, We haue found this man peruerting the nation, and forbidding to pay tribute to Cesar, saying, That he is Christ a King.

³ And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Iewes? And hee answered him, and sayd, Thou sayest it.

⁴ Then sayd Pilate to the hie Priests, and to the people, I finde no fault in this man.

⁵ But they were the more fierce, saying, He moueth the people, teaching throughout all Iudea, beginning at Galile, euen to this place.

⁶ Nowe when Pilate heard of Galile, he asked whether the man were a Galilean.

⁷ And when he knewe that he was of Herods iurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, which was also at Hierusalem in those dayes.

⁸ And when Herod sawe Iesus, hee was exceedingly glad: for he was desirous to see him of a long season, because he had heard many things of him, and trusted to haue seene some signe done by him.

⁹ Then questioned hee with him of many things: but he answered him nothing.

¹⁰ The hie Priests also and Scribes stood forth, and accused him vehemently.

¹¹ And Herod with his men of warre, despised him, and mocked him, and arayed him in white, and sent him againe to Pilate.

¹² And the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends together: for before they were enemies one to another.

¹³ Then Pilate called together the hie Priests and the rulers, and the people,

¹⁴ And sayd vnto them, Ye haue brought this man vnto me, as one that peruerted the people: and beholde, I haue examined him before you, and haue found no fault in this man, of those things whereof ye accuse him:

¹⁵ No, nor yet Herod: for I sent you to him: and loe, nothing worthy of death is done of him.

¹⁶ I will therefore chastise him, and let him loose.

¹⁷ (For of necessitie hee must haue let one loose vnto them at the feast.)

¹⁸ Then all ye multitude cried at once, saying, Away with him, and deliuer vnto vs Barabbas:

¹⁹ Which for a certaine insurrection made in the citie, and murder, was cast in prison.

²⁰ Then Pilate spake againe to them, willing to let Iesus loose.

²¹ But they cried, saying, Crucifie, crucifie him.

²² And he sayd vnto them the third time, But what euill hath he done? I finde no cause of death in him: I will therefore chastise him, and let him loose.

²³ But they were instant with loude voyces, and required that he might be crucified: and the voyces of them and of the hie Priests preuailed.

²⁴ So Pilate gaue sentence, that it should be as they required.

²⁵ And he let loose vnto them him that for insurrection and murder was cast into prison, whome they desired, and deliuered Iesus to doe with him what they would.

² And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this fellow perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Cesar, saying that he himself is Christ a King.

³ And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answered him and said, Thou sayest it.

⁴ Then said Pilate to the chief priests and to the people, I find no fault in this man.

⁵ And they were the more fierce, saying, He stirreth up the people, teaching throughout all Jewry, beginning from Galilee to this place.

⁶ When Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked whether the man were a Galilean.

⁷ And as soon as he knew that he belonged unto Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who himself also was at Jerusalem at that time.

⁸ And when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad: for he was desirous to see him of a long season, because he had heard many things of him; and he hoped to have seen some miracle done by him.

⁹ Then he questioned with him in many words; but he answered him nothing.

¹⁰ And the chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently accused him.

¹¹ And Herod with his men of war set him at nought, and mocked him, and arrayed him in a gorgeous robe, and sent him again to Pilate.

¹² And the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends together: for before they were at enmity between themselves.

¹³ And Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people,

¹⁴ said unto them, Ye have brought this man unto me, as one that perverteth the people: and behold, I, having examined him before you, have found no fault in this man touching those things whereof ye accuse him:

¹⁵ no, nor yet Herod: for I sent you to him; and lo, nothing worthy of death is done unto him.

¹⁶ I will therefore chastise him, and release him.

¹⁷ (For of necessity he must release one unto them at the feast.)

¹⁸ And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this man, and release unto us Barabbas:

¹⁹ (who for a certain sedition made in the city, and for murder, was cast into prison.)

²⁰ Pilate therefore, willing to release Jesus, spake again to them.

²¹ But they cried, saying, Crucify him, crucify him.

²² And he said unto them the third time, Why, what evil hath he done? I have found no cause of death in him: I will therefore chastise him, and let him go.

²³ And they were instant with loud voices, requiring that he might be crucified. And the voices of them and of the chief priests prevailed.

²⁴ And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they required.

²⁵ And he released unto them him that for sedition and murder was cast into prison, whom they had desired; but he delivered Jesus to their will.

² And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this man perverting our nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, and saying that he himself is the Christ, the king.

³ And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the king of the Jews? And he answering said to him, I am.

⁴ And Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowd, I find nothing criminal in this man.

⁵ But they were the more violent, saying, He stirreth up the people, teaching throughout all Judaea, beginning from Galilee, even to this place.

⁶ And when Pilate heard this, he asked whether the man was a Galilaean.

⁷ And on learning that he belonged to Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who was himself also at Jerusalem at this time.

⁸ Now Herod, when he saw Jesus, was very glad; for he had been wishing to see him for a long time, because he had heard about him; and he hoped to see some sign wrought by him.

⁹ And he put many questions to him; but he gave him no answer.

¹⁰ And the chief priests and scribes stood vehemently accusing him.

¹¹ And Herod also with his guard of soldiers set him at nought and mocked him, and having arrayed him in a gorgeous robe, sent him back to Pilate.

¹² And Herod and Pilate on that day became friends with each other; for they had before been at enmity.

¹³ And Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people,

¹⁴ said to them, Ye have brought to me this man, as one that perverteth the people; and behold, I have examined him before you, and have found nothing in this man to sustain the charges which ye bring against him.

¹⁵ No, nor yet Herod; for he hath sent him back to us; and lo! nothing deserving death hath been done by him.

¹⁶ I will therefore chastise, and release him.

¹⁷ Now it was necessary for him to release to them one at the feast.

¹⁸ And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this man, and release to us Barabbas;

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

²⁰ But Pilate again spoke to them, wishing to release Jesus.

²¹ But they cried out, saying, Crucify, crucify him!

²² And he said to them the third time, Why, what evil hath this man done? I have found him guilty of nothing deserving death; I will therefore chastise, and release him.

²³ But they were urgent with loud voices, demanding that he should he crucified; and their voices prevailed.

²⁴ And Pilate gave sentence that what they demanded should be done.

²⁵ And he released him who for sedition and murder had been cast into prison, whom they asked for; but Jesus he delivered up to their will.

² And they began to accuse him, “This is a man whom we found misleading our people, preventing them from paying taxes to the Emperor, and giving out that he himself is ‘Christ, a king.’”

³ “Are you the king of the Jews?” Pilate asked him. “It is true,” replied Jesus.

⁴ But Pilate, turning to the chief priests and the people, said, “I do not see anything to find fault with in this man.”

⁵ But they insisted, “He is stirring up the people by his teaching all through Judea; he began with Galilee and has now come here.”

⁶ Hearing this, Pilate asked if the man was a Galilean;

⁷ and, having satisfied himself that Jesus came under Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who also was at Jerusalem at the time.

⁸ When Herod saw Jesus, he was exceedingly pleased, for he had been wanting to see him for a long time, having heard a great deal about him; and he was hoping to see some sign given by him.

⁹ So he questioned him at some length, but Jesus made no reply.

¹⁰ Meanwhile the chief priests and the teachers of the Law stood by and vehemently accused him.

¹¹ And Herod, with his soldiers, treated Jesus with scorn; he mocked him by throwing a gorgeous robe around him, and then sent him back to Pilate.

¹² And Herod and Pilate became friends that very day, for before that there had been ill-will between them.

¹³ So Pilate summoned the chief priests, and the leading men, and the people,

¹⁴ and said to them, “You brought this man before me charged with misleading the people; and yet, for my part, though I examined him before you, I did not find this man to blame for any of the things of which you accuse him;

¹⁵ nor did Herod either; for he has sent him back to us. And, as a fact, he has not done anything deserving death;

¹⁶ so I will have him scourged, and then release him.”

¹⁸ But they began to shout as one man, “Kill this fellow, but release Barabbas for us.”

¹⁹ (Barabbas was a man who had been put in prison for a riot that had broken out in the city and for murder.)

²⁰ Pilate, however, wanting to release Jesus, called to them again;

²¹ but they kept calling out, “Crucify, crucify him!”

²² “Why, what harm has this man done?” Pilate said to them for the third time. “I have found nothing in him for which he could be condemned to death. So I will have him scourged, and then release him.”

²³ But they persisted in loudly demanding his crucifixion; and their clamour gained the day.

²⁴ Pilate decided that their demand should be granted.

²⁵ He released the man who had been put in prison for riot and murder, as they demanded, and gave Jesus up to be dealt with as they pleased.

² And they began to accuse him, “This is a man whom we found misleading our people, preventing them from paying taxes to the Emperor, and giving out that he himself is ‘Christ, a king.’”

³ “Are you the king of the Jews?” Pilate asked him. “It is true,” replied Jesus.

⁴ But Pilate, turning to the chief priests and the people, said, “I do not see anything to find fault with in this man.”

⁵ But they insisted, “He is stirring up the people by his teaching all through Judea; he began with Galilee and has now come here.”

⁶ Hearing this, Pilate asked if the man was a Galilean;

⁷ and, having satisfied himself that Jesus came under Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who also was at Jerusalem at the time.

²² “Why, what harm has this man done?” Pilate said to them for the third time. “I have found nothing in him for which he could be condemned to death. So I will have him scourged, and then release him.”

²³ But they persisted in loudly demanding his crucifixion; and their clamor gained the day.

²⁴ Pilate decided that their demand should be granted.

²⁵ He released the man who had been put in prison for riot and murder, as they demanded, and gave Jesus up to be dealt with as they pleased.

² They began to accuse him, saying, “We found this man perverting the nation, forbidding paying taxes to Caesar Ruler, and saying that he himself is Messiah Anointed one, a king.”

³ Pilate Armed with javelin asked him, “Are you the King of the Jews Praisers?” He answered him, “So you say.”

⁴ Pilate Armed with javelin said to the chief priests and the multitudes, “I find no basis for a charge against this man.”

⁵ But they insisted, saying, “He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea Praise, beginning from Galilee District, Circuit even to this place.”

⁶ But when Pilate Armed with javelin heard Galilee District, Circuit mentioned, he asked if the man was a Galilean.

⁷ When he found out that he was in Herod Heroic’s jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod Heroic, who was also in Jerusalem City of peace during those days.

⁸ Now when Herod Heroic saw Yeshua Salvation, he was exceedingly glad, for he had wanted to see him for a long time, because he had heard many things about him. He hoped to see some miracle done by him.

⁹ He questioned him with many words, but he gave no answers.

¹⁰ The chief priests and the Torah-Teachers stood, vehemently accusing him.

¹¹ Herod Heroic with his soldiers humiliated him and mocked him. Dressing him in luxurious clothing, they sent him back to Pilate Armed with javelin.

¹² Herod Heroic and Pilate Armed with javelin became friends with each other that very day, for before that they were enemies with each other.

¹³ Pilate Armed with javelin called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people,

¹⁴ and said to them, “You brought this man to me as one that perverts the people, and see, I have examined him before you, and found no basis for a charge against this man concerning those things of which you accuse him.

¹⁵ Neither has Herod Heroic, for I sent you to him, and see, nothing worthy of death has been done by him.

¹⁶ I will therefore chastise him and release him.”

¹⁷ Now he had to release one prisoner to them at the feast.

¹⁸ But they all cried out together, saying, “Away with this man! Release to us Bar-Abba Son Father!”—

¹⁹ one who was thrown into prison for a certain revolt in the city, and for murder.

²⁰ Then Pilate Armed with javelin spoke to them again, wanting to release Yeshua Salvation,

²¹ but they shouted, saying, “Crucify! Crucify him!”

²² He said to them the third time, “Why? What evil has this man done? I have found no capital crime in him. I will therefore chastise him and release him.”

²³ But they were urgent with loud voices, asking that he might be put to death on the stake. Their voices and the voices of the chief priests prevailed.

²⁴ Pilate Armed with javelin decreed that what they asked for should be done.

²⁵ He released him who had been thrown into prison for insurrection and murder, for whom they asked, but he delivered Yeshua Salvation up to their will.

⁵ The Jewish leaders kept on blaming Jesus. They told Pilate, “He gets people everywhere to go wild. He started to do that in Galilee country, then in Judea country, and now he is doing it here in Jerusalem.”

⁶ When Pilate heard them say that, he asked them, “Does he come from Galilee country?”

⁷ They said, “Yes, Jesus is from Galilee.” The big boss of Galilee was Herod, and he was visiting Jerusalem at that time. So Pilate sent Jesus to him, to let Herod be his judge.

⁸ Herod was very happy to see Jesus. You see, a long time before that day Herod heard about Jesus, so he always wanted to meet him. He wanted to see Jesus do something powerful.

⁹ So Herod asked him a lot of questions, but Jesus didn’t answer any of them.

¹⁰ The leaders of the Jewish ceremonies and their law teachers stood there all the time, shouting out and blaming Jesus.

¹¹ Then Herod and his soldiers started laughing at Jesus and rubbishing him. They put a pretty coat on him, the kind that a boss wears. Then they sent him back to Pilate.

¹² You know, before that day Herod and Pilate didn’t like each other, but on that day they became friends.

² And they beganne to accuse him sayinge: We have founde this felowe pervertynge the people and forbiddynge to paye tribute to Cesar: sayinge that he is Christ a kynge.

³ And Pylate apposed him sayinge: arte thou the kynge of the iewes? He answered him and sayde: thou sayest it.

⁴ Then sayde Pylate to the hye prestes and to the people: I fynde noo faute in this man.

⁵ And they were the moore fearce sayinge. He moveth the people teachynge thorowout all Iewry and beganne at Galile even to this place.

⁶ When Pilate hearde mencion of Galile he axed whether the man were of Galile.

⁷ And assone as he knewe that he was of Herodes iurisdiccion he sent him to Herode which was also at Ierusalem in those dayes.

⁸ And when Herode sawe Iesus he was excedinglie gladde. For he was desyrous to se him of a longe season because he had hearde many thinges of him and trusted to have sene some myracle done by him.

⁹ Then questeoned he with him of many thinges. But he answered him not one worde.

¹⁰ The hye prestes and scribes stode forthe and accused him straytly.

¹¹ And Herod with his men of warre despysed him and mocked him and arayed him in whyte and sent him agayne to Pylate.

¹² And the same daye Pylate and Herod were made frendes togeder. For before they were at variaunce.

¹³ And Pylate called to geder the hye prestes and the rulers and the people

¹⁴ and sayde vnto them: Ye have brought this man vnto me as one that perverted the people. And beholde I have examined him before you and have founde no faute in this man of those thinges where of ye accuse him.

¹⁵ No nor yet Herode. For I sent you to him: and lo no thinge worthy of deeth is done to him.

¹⁶ I will therfore chasten him and let him lowsse.

¹⁷ For of necessite he must have let one lowse vnto them at that feast.

¹⁸ And all the people cryed at once sayinge: awaye with him and delyvre to vs Barrabas:

¹⁹ which for insurreccion made in the cite and morther was cast into preson.

²⁰ Pylate spake agayne to them willynge to let Iesus lowse.

²¹ And they cryed sayinge: Crucify him Crucify him

²² He sayde vnto them the thyrde tyme. What evyll hath he done? I fynde no cause of deeth in him. I will therfore chasten him and let him lowse.

²³ And they cryed with loude voyce and required that he myght be crucifyed. And the voyce of them and of the hye Prestes prevayled.

²⁴ And Pylate gave sentence that it shuld be as they required

²⁵ and let lowse vnto them him that for insurreccion and morther was cast into preson whom they desyred: and delyvered Iesus to do with him what they wolde.

² They began to accuse him, saying, “We found this man perverting our nation, forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, and saying that he himself is Christ, a king.”

³ Pilate asked him, saying, “Are you the King of the Jews?” Jesus answered him and said, “You say so.”

⁴ Pilate said to the chief priests and the multitudes, “I find no fault in this man.”

⁵ But they were insisting, saying, “He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee even to this place.”

⁶ So when Pilate heard this, he asked whether the man was a Galilean.

⁷ When he discovered that he was under Herod's authority, he sent Jesus to Herod, who himself also was at Jerusalem in those days.

⁸ When Herod saw Jesus, he was very glad, because he had wanted to see him for a long time. He had heard about him and he hoped to see some miracle done by him.

⁹ Herod questioned Jesus in many words, but Jesus answered him nothing.

¹⁰ The chief priests and the scribes stood, violently accusing him.

¹¹ Herod with his soldiers insulted Jesus and they mocked him. Then they dressed him in elegant clothes and sent him back to Pilate.

¹² For Herod and Pilate had become friends with each other that very day, for before this they had been enemies with each other.

¹³ Pilate then called together the chief priests and the rulers and the crowd of people,

¹⁴ and said to them, “You brought to me this man like a man who is leading the people to act badly, and see, I, having questioned him before you, find no fault in this man concerning those things of which you accuse him.

¹⁵ No, nor does Herod, for he sent him back to us, and see, nothing worthy of death has been done by him.

¹⁶ I will therefore punish him, and release him.”

¹⁸ But they cried out all together, saying, “Away with this man, and release to us Barabbas!”

¹⁹ Barabbas was a man who had been put into prison for a certain rebellion in the city and for murder.

²⁰ Pilate addressed them again, desiring to release Jesus.

²¹ But they shouted, saying, “Crucify him, crucify him.”

²² He said to them a third time, “Why, what evil has this man done? I have found nothing deserving the death penalty in him. Therefore after punishing him, I will release him.”

²³ But they were insistent with loud voices, demanding for him to be crucified. Their voices convinced Pilate.

²⁴ So Pilate decided to grant their demand.

²⁵ He released the one they asked for who had been put in prison for rioting and murder. But he delivered up Jesus to their will.

² They began to accuse him, saying, “We found this man perverting the nation, forbidding paying taxes to Caesar, and saying that he himself is Christ, a king.”

³ Pilate asked him, “Are you the King of the Jews?” He answered him, “So you say.”

⁴ Pilate said to the chief priests and the multitudes, “I find no basis for a charge against this man.”

² And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this man perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Cesar, saying, that he himself is Christ a king.

³ And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answered him and said, Thou sayest it .

⁴ Then said Pilate to the chief priests, and to the people, I find no fault in this man.

⁵ And they were the more fierce, saying, He stirreth up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee to this place.

⁶ When Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked whether the man was a Galilean.

⁷ And as soon as he knew that he belonged to Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who himself was also at Jerusalem at that time.

⁸ And when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad: for he had been for a long time, desirous to see him, because he had heard many things of him; and he hoped to see some miracle done by him.

⁹ Then he questioned with him in many words; but he answered him nothing.

¹⁰ And the chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently accused him.

¹¹ And Herod with his troops set him at naught, and mocked him , and arrayed him in a gorgeous robe, and sent him again to Pilate.

¹² And the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends together; for before they were at enmity between themselves.

¹³ And Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests, and the rulers, and the people,

¹⁴ Said to them, Ye have brought this man to me, as one that perverteth the people: and behold, I, having examined him before you, have found no fault in this man, touching those things of which ye accuse him;

¹⁵ No, nor yet Herod: for I sent you to him; and lo, nothing worthy of death is done to him:

¹⁶ I will therefore chastise him, and release him .

¹⁷ (For of necessity he must release one to them at the feast.)

¹⁸ And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this man , and release to us Barabbas:

¹⁹ (Who, for a certain sedition made in the city, and for murder, was cast into prison.)

²⁰ Pilate therefore, willing to release Jesus, spoke again to them.

²¹ But they cried, saying, Crucify, crucify him.

²² And he said to them the third time, Why, what evil hath he done? I have found no cause of death in him; I will therefore chastise him, and let him go.

²³ And they were urgent with loud voices, requiring that he might be crucified: and the voices of them, and of the chief priests prevailed.

²⁴ And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they required.

²⁵ And he released to them him that for sedition and murder had been cast into prison, whom they had desired; but he delivered Jesus to their will.

² They began to accuse him, saying, “We found this man perverting the nation, forbidding paying taxes to Caesar, and saying that he himself is Messiah, a king.”

³ Pilate asked him, “Are you the King of the Jews?” He answered him, “So you say.”

⁴ Pilate said to the chief priests and the multitudes, “I find no basis for a charge against this man.”

⁵ But they insisted, saying, “He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee even to this place.”

⁶ But when Pilate heard Galilee mentioned, he asked if the man was a Galilean.

⁷ When he found out that he was in Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who was also in Jerusalem during those days.

⁸ Now when Herod saw Yeshua, he was exceedingly glad, for he had wanted to see him for a long time, because he had heard many things about him. He hoped to see some miracle done by him.

⁹ He questioned him with many words, but he gave no answers.

¹⁰ The chief priests and the scribes stood, vehemently accusing him.

¹¹ Herod with his soldiers humiliated him and mocked him. Dressing him in luxurious clothing, they sent him back to Pilate.

¹² Herod and Pilate became friends with each other that very day, for before that they were enemies with each other.

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

¹⁴ and said to them, “You brought this man to me as one that perverts the people, and behold, having examined him before you, I found no basis for a charge against this man concerning those things of which you accuse him.

¹⁵ Neither has Herod, for I sent you to him, and see, nothing worthy of death has been done by him.

¹⁶ I will therefore chastise him and release him.”

¹⁷ Now he had to release one prisoner to them at the feast.

¹⁸ But they all cried out together, saying, “Away with this man! Release to us Barabbas!”—

¹⁹ one who was thrown into prison for a certain revolt in the city, and for murder.

²⁰ Then Pilate spoke to them again, wanting to release Yeshua,

²¹ but they shouted, saying, “Crucify! Crucify him!”

²² He said to them the third time, “Why? What evil has this man done? I have found no capital crime in him. I will therefore chastise him and release him.”

²³ But they were urgent with loud voices, asking that he might be crucified. Their voices and the voices of the chief priests prevailed.

²⁴ Pilate decreed that what they asked for should be done.

²⁵ He released him who had been thrown into prison for insurrection and murder, for whom they asked, but he delivered Yeshua up to their will.

² They began to accuse him, saying, “We found this man perverting the nation, forbidding paying taxes to Caesar, and saying that he himself is Messiah, a king.”

²⁴ Pilate decreed that what they asked for should be done.

²⁵ He released him who had been thrown into prison for insurrection and murder, for whom they asked, but he delivered Yeshua up to their will.

² And they began to accuse him, and said, We have found this turning upside-down our folk, and forbidding tribute to be given to the emperor or to Caesar, and saying that himself is Christ a king or and saying himself to be Christ king.

³ And Pilate asked him, and said, Art thou king of Jews? And he answered, and said, Thou sayest.

⁴ And Pilate said to the princes of priests, and to the people, I find nothing of cause in this man.

⁵ And they waxed stronger, and said, He moveth the people, teaching through all Judea, beginning from Galilee till hither.

⁶ And Pilate hearing Galilee asked, if he were a man of Galilee.

⁷ And when he knew that he was of the power of Herod, he sent him to Herod; which was or he was at Jerusalem in those days.

⁸ And when Herod saw Jesus, he joyed full much; for long time he coveted to see him, for he heard many things of him, and hoped to see some token or some miracle done of him.

⁹ And he asked him in many words; and he answered nothing to him.

¹⁰ And the princes of priests, and the scribes stood, steadfastly accusing him.

¹¹ But Herod with his host despised him, and scorned him, and clothed him with a white cloth, and sent him again to Pilate.

¹² And Herod and Pilate were made friends from that day or in that day; for before they were enemies together.

¹³ And Pilate called together the princes of priests, and the magistrates of the people,

¹⁵ neither Herod, for he hath sent him again to us, and lo! nothing worthy of death is done to him.

¹⁶ And therefore I shall amend him, and deliver him chastised.

¹⁷ But he must needs or had need to deliver to them one by the feast day.

¹⁸ And all the people cried together, and said, Do him away, and deliver to us Barabbas;

¹⁹ which was sent into prison for disturbing, or some dissention, or sedition, made in the city, and for manslaying.

²⁰ And again Pilate spake to them, and would deliver or willing to deliver Jesus.

²¹ And they cried out, and said, Crucify, crucify him.

²³ And they continued with great voices asking or they continued asking with great voices, that he should be crucified; and the voices of them waxed strong.

²⁴ And Pilate deemed their asking to be done.

²⁵ And he delivered to them him, that for manslaying and sedition was sent into prison, whom they asked; but he betook Jesus to their will.

⁴ And Pilate said unto the chief priests, and the multitude, 'I find no fault in this man;'

⁵ and they were the more urgent, saying — 'He doth stir up the people, teaching throughout the whole of Judea — having begun from Galilee — unto this place.'

⁶ And Pilate having heard of Galilee, questioned if the man is a Galilean,

⁷ and having known that he is from the jurisdiction of Herod, he sent him back unto Herod, he being also in Jerusalem in those days.

⁸ And Herod having seen Jesus did rejoice exceedingly, for he was wishing for a long time to see him, because of hearing many things about him, and he was hoping some sign to see done by him,

⁹ and was questioning him in many words, and he answered him nothing.
