13. And Pilate having called together the chief priests, and the rulers, and the people,
14. said unto them, `Ye brought to me this man as perverting the people, and lo, I before you having examined, found in this man no fault in those things ye bring forward against him;
15. no, nor yet Herod, for I sent you back unto him, and lo, nothing worthy of death is having been done by him;
16. having chastised, therefore, I will release him,'
17. for it was necessary for him to release to them one at every feast,
18. and they cried out--the whole multitude--saying, `Away with this one, and release to us Barabbas,'
19. who had been, because of a certain sedition made in the city, and murder, cast into prison.
20. Pilate again then--wishing to release Jesus--called to them,
21. but they were calling out, saying, `Crucify, crucify him.'
22. And he a third time said unto them, `Why, what evil did he? no cause of death did I find in him; having chastised him, then, I will release [him].'
