¹⁴and said to them, “You brought this man to me as one who ^aincites the people to rebellion, and behold, having examined Him before you, I ^bhave found no guilt in this man regarding the charges which you make against Him.

¹⁵“No, nor has ^aHerod, for he sent Him back to us; and behold, nothing deserving death has been done by Him.

¹⁶“Therefore I will ^apunish Him and release Him.”

¹⁷¹Now he was obliged to release to them at the feast one prisoner.

¹⁸But they cried out all together, saying, “^aAway with this man, and release for us Barabbas!”

¹⁹(He was one who had been thrown into prison for an insurrection made in the city, and for murder.)

²⁰Pilate, wanting to release Jesus, addressed them again,

²¹but they kept on calling out, saying, “Crucify, crucify Him!”

²²And he said to them the third time, “Why, what evil has this man done? I have found in Him no guilt demanding death; therefore I will ^apunish Him and release Him.”

²³But they were insistent, with loud voices asking that He be crucified. And their voices began to prevail.

²⁴And Pilate pronounced sentence that their demand be granted.
