[13] And Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people, [14] Said unto them, Ye have brought man as one that perverteth the people: and, behold, I, having examined him before have found no in man touching those things whereof ye accuse him: [15] No, nor yet Herod: for I sent to him; and, lo, nothing worthy of death done unto him. [16] therefore chastise him, and release [17] (For of necessity he must release one unto them at the feast.) [18] And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with man, and release Barabbas: [19] (Who a certain sedition made in the city, and for murder, was cast prison.) [20] Pilate willing to release Jesus, again to them. [21] But they cried, saying, Crucify him. [22] And he said unto them the third time, Why, what evil he done? I have found no of death in him: 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] Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they required.
