And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they required.

Then he released Barabbas for them; but after having Jesus scourged, he handed Him over to be crucified.

Wishing to satisfy the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas for them, and after having Jesus scourged, he handed Him over to be crucified.

Pilate then took Jesus and

scourged Him.

You shall not follow the masses in doing evil, nor shall you testify in a dispute so as to turn aside after a multitude in order to pervert justice;

He who justifies the wicked and he who condemns the righteous,
Both of them alike are an abomination to the Lord.

You shall not follow the masses in doing evil, nor shall you testify in a dispute so as to turn aside after a multitude in order to pervert justice;

Deliver those who are being taken away to death,

And those who are staggering to slaughter, Oh hold them back.

So he then handed Him over to them to be crucified.

And though they found no ground for putting Him to death, they asked Pilate that He be executed.
