Luke 23:13–24

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.
