13 ΒΆ And Pilate, when hee had called together the chiefe Priests, and the rulers, and the people,
14 Said vnto them, Ye haue brought this man vnto me, as one that peruerteth the people, and behold, I hauing examined him before you, haue 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 loe, nothing worthy of death is done vnto him.
16 I will therefore chastise him, and release him.
17 For of necessitie hee must release one vnto them at the Feast.
18 And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this man, and release vnto vs Barabbas,
19 Who for a certaine sedition made in the citie, and for murder, was cast in prison.
20 Pilate therefore willing to release Iesus, spake againe to them:
21 But they cried, saying, Crucifie him, crucifie him.
22 And hee said vnto them the third time, Why, what euill hath he done? I haue found no cause of death in him, I will therefore chastise him, & let him goe.
23 And they were instant with loud voyces, requiring that he might be crucified: and the voyces of them, and of the chiefe Priests preuailed.
24 And Pilate gaue sentence that it should be as they required.
25 And he released vnto them, him that for sedition and murder was cast into prison, whom they had desired, but he deliuered Iesus to their will.
