Luke 23:13-22 in English

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.”

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.”

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.”

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.”

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.

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.

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.

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.”

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.”

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.”

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.

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.

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.

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.”

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.”

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.”

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.

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.”

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.”

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.”

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.

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.”

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.”

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

¹⁴ and 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;

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.

²² And 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.

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

¹⁴ and said to them, Ye have brought to me this man, as turning away the people, and lo! I asking before you find no cause (worthy of death) in this man, of these things, in which ye accuse him; (and said to them, Ye have brought me this man, for subverting the people, and behold! I asking before you find no case against this man, or I see no reason to condemn this man, regarding those things, of which ye accuse him;)

¹⁵ neither (did) Herod, for he hath sent him again to us, and lo! nothing worthy of death is done to him. (nor did Herod, for he hath sent him back to us, and behold! nothing worthy of death hath been done by him.)

¹⁶ And therefore I shall amend him, and deliver him. +Therefore I shall leave him amended, or deliver him chastised. (And so I shall chastise him, and then let him go.)

¹⁷ But he must needs deliver to them one by the feast day. Forsooth he had need to deliver to them one by the feast day. (But he had to release one prisoner to them on the Feast Day, or at the Festival.)

¹⁸ And all the people cried together, and said, Do him away, and deliver to us Barabbas; (And all the people cried together, and shouted, Do him away, and release Barabbas to us, or and give us Barabbas;)

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

²⁰ And again Pilate spake to them, and would deliver Jesus. Forsooth again Pilate spake to them, willing to deliver Jesus. (And again Pilate spoke to them, and wanted to release Jesus.)

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

²² And the third time he said to them, For what evil hath he done? I find no cause (worthy) of death in him; therefore I shall chastise him, and I shall deliver him, (or I find no case, or crime, worthy of death against him; and so I shall chastise him, and then I shall let (him) go, or and then I shall release (him)).

¹³ And Pilat clepide togider the princis of prestis and the maiestratis of the puple, and seide to hem,

¹⁴ Ye han brouyt to me this man, as turnynge awey the puple, and lo! Y axynge bifor you fynde no cause in this man of these thingis, in whiche ye accusen hym;

¹⁶ And therfor Y schal amende hym, and delyuere hym.

¹⁷ But he moste nede delyuer to hem oon bi the feest dai.

¹⁸ And al the puple criede togidir, and seide, Do `awei hym, and delyuer to vs Barabas;

¹⁹ which was sent `in to prisoun for disturblyng maad in the cite, and for mansleynge.

²⁰ And eftsoone Pilat spak to hem, and wolde delyuer Jhesu.

²¹ And thei vndurcrieden, and seiden, Crucifie, crucifie hym.

²² And the thridde tyme he seide to hem, For what yuel hath this don? Y fynde no cause of deeth in hym; therfor Y schal chastise hym, and Y schal delyuer.

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

¹⁴ said 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;

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

²² And 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.'
