(19)Then, as he was sitting on the tribunal, his wife sent a message to him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that righteous person; for I have suffered much to-day in a dream on his account. (20)But the chief priests and elders persuaded the populace that they should ask for Barabbas, and destroy Jesus. (21)The governor repeating the question, said to them, Which of the two will ye that I release unto you? They said Barabbas. (22)Pilate saith unto them, What then shall I do with Jesus, who is called the Messiah? They all say to him, Let him be crucified. (23)The governor replied, But what evil hath he done? They cried out with greater vehemence, saying, Let him be crucified. (24)When Pilate saw that it was of no use to contend, but that rather a tumult was rising, he took water, and washed his hands before the people, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this righteous man: ye must answer for it. (25)Then all the people answering said, His blood be on us, and on our children. (26)Then he released unto them Barabbas: but having scourged Jesus, he delivered him up to be crucified. (27)Thereupon the soldiers of the governor taking Jesus away to the Praetorium, gathered around him the whole band: (28)and stripping him, put about him a scarlet cloak. (29)And platting a crown of thorns, they placed it on his head, and a cane in his right hand: and bowing the knee before him, mocked him, saying, Hail, king of the Jews! (30)And spitting upon him, they took the cane, and struck him upon his head. (31)And when they had insulted him, they took off from him the cloak, and put his own garments on him, and led him away to crucify him. (32)And as they were going out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name; him they compelled to carry his cross. (33)And when they were come to a place called Golgotha (which is called the place of a skull), (34)they gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and having tasted it, he refused to drink. (35)Then having crucified him, they parted his garments, casting the lot: that it might be fulfilled, what was spoken by the prophet, They parted my garments among them, and for my vesture they threw the lot. (36)And sitting down, they guarded him there. (37)And they placed over his head his accusation in writing, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS. (38)Then were crucified with him two robbers, one on his right hand, and the other on his left.
