Luke 23:2-25

²And 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.

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

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

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

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

⁷And 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.

⁸And 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.

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

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

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

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

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

¹⁴and said to them, Ye have brought to me this man, as turning away the people, and lo! I asking before you find no cause in this man, of these things, in which ye accuse him;

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

²²And the third time he said to them, For what evil hath he done? I find no cause of death in him; there-fore I shall chastise him, and I shall deliver him.

²³And 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.

²⁴And Pilate deemed their asking to be done.

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