Luke 23:13-25

Jesus Before Herod

13 Pilate then called together the chief priests and u the rulers and the people, 14 and said to them, "You brought me this man v as one who was misleading the people. And w after examining him before you, behold, I x did not find this man guilty of any of your charges against him. 15 Neither did Herod, for y he sent him back to us. Look, nothing deserving death has been done by him. 16 z I will therefore punish and release him." 1

Pilate Delivers Jesus to Be Crucified

18 a But they all cried out together, b "Away with this man, and release to us Barabbas" - 19 a man who had been thrown into prison for an insurrection started in the city and c for murder. 20 Pilate addressed them once more, desiring to release Jesus, 21 but they kept shouting, "Crucify, crucify him!" 22 A third time he said to them, "Why, d what evil has he done? e I have found in him no guilt deserving death. f I will therefore punish and release him." 23 But they were urgent, demanding with loud cries that he should be crucified. And their voices prevailed. 24 So Pilate decided that their demand should be granted. 25 He released the man who had been thrown into prison g for insurrection and murder, for whom they asked, h but he delivered Jesus over to their will.
