Luke. John. CH. XXIII. 13-25. CH. XVIII. 39, 40. 13 And Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests, and the rulers, and the people, 14 Said unto them, Ye have brought this man unto me, as one that perverteth the people: and behold, I, having examined _him_ before you, have 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 lo, nothing worthy of death is done unto him: 16 I will therefore chastise 39 But ye have a custom that I him, and release _him_. should release unto you one at the passover: will ye therefore, that I release unto you the king of the Jews? 17 (For of necessity he must release one unto them at the feast.) 18 And they cried out all at 40 Then cried they all again, once, saying, Away with this saying, Not this man, but _man_, and release unto us Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a Barabbas: robber. 19 (Who, for a certain sedition made in the city, and for murder, was cast into prison.) 20 Pilate therefore, willing to release Jesus, spake again unto them. 21 But they cried, saying, Crucify _him_, crucify him. 22 And he said unto them the third time, Why, what evil hath he done? I have found no cause of death in him; I will therefore chastise him, and let _him_ go. 23 And they were instant with loud voices, requiring that he might be crucified: and the voices of them, and of the chief priests prevailed. 24 And Pilate gave sentence(283) that it should be as they required. 25 And he released unto them him that for sedition and murder was cast into prison, whom they had desired; but he delivered Jesus to their will. § 149. Pilate delivers up Jesus to death. He is scourged and mocked. _Jerusalem_.
