- Now at that feast the governor was wont to release unto the people a prisoner, whom they would.
- And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.
- Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, Whom will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus which is called Christ?
- For he knew that for envy they had delivered him.
- When he was set down on the judgment seat, his wife sent unto him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that just man: for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him.
|
- But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.
- The governor answered and said unto them, Whether of the twain will ye that I release unto you? They said, Barabbas.
- Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ? They all say unto him, Let him be crucified.
- And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified.
- When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye to it.
|
- Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children.
- Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified.
- Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall, and gathered unto him the whole band of soldiers.
- And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe.
- And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!
|
- And they spit upon him, and took the reed, and smote him on the head.
- And after that they had mocked him, they took the robe off from him, and put his own raiment on him, and led him away to crucify him.
