Luke 23:1–24

And ^athe whole multitude of them arose, and led him unto Pilate. ²And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this fellow ^bperverting the nation, and ^cforbidding to give ^dtribute to Caesar, saying ^ethat he himself is Christ a King. ^3fAnd Pilate asked him, saying, ^eArt thou the King of the Jews? And he answered him and said, Thou sayest it. ⁴Then said Pilate to the chief priests and to the people, ^gI find no fault in this man. ⁵And they were the more fierce, saying, He ^hstirreth up the people, teaching throughout all Jewry, ⁱbeginning from ^kGalilee to this place. ⁶When Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked whether the man were a Galilaean. ⁷And as soon as he knew that he belonged unto ^lHerod’s jurisdiction, he ^msent him to Herod, who himself also was at Jerusalem at that time. ⁸And when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad: for ⁿhe was desirous to see him of a long season, because ^ohe had heard many things of him; and he hoped to have seen some miracle done by him. ⁹Then he questioned with him in many words; but he answered him nothing. ¹⁰And the chief priests and scribes stood and ^pvehemently accused him. ¹¹And Herod with his ^qmen of war ^rset him at nought, and ^smocked him, and ^tarrayed him in a ^ugorgeous robe, and ^msent him again to Pilate. ¹²And the same day ^xPilate and Herod were made friends together: for before they were at enmity between themselves.

¹³And Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people, ¹⁴Said unto them, ^yYe have brought this man unto me, as one that ^bperverteth the people: and, behold, I, ^zhaving examined him before you, ^ahave found no fault in this man touching those things whereof ye accuse him: ¹⁵No, nor yet Herod: for ^mI sent you to him; and, lo, nothing worthy of death is done unto him. ^16bI will therefore chastise him, and release him. ^17c(For of necessity he must release one unto them at the feast.) ¹⁸And they cried out all at once, saying, ^dAway with this man, and release unto us Barabbas: ¹⁹(Who for a certain sedition made in the city, and for ^dmurder, was cast into prison.) ²⁰Pilate therefore, willing to release Jesus, spake again to them. ²¹But they cried, saying, Crucify him, crucify him. ²²And he said unto them ^ethe third time, Why, what evil hath he done? I have found no cause of death in him: ^bI will therefore chastise him, and let him go. ²³And they were instant with loud voices, requiring that he might be crucified. And the voices of them and of the chief priests prevailed. ²⁴And Pilate ^||fgave sentence that it should be as they required.
