Luke 23:24

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

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

Then he released to them Barabbas, but Jesus he flogged and delivered to be crucified.

Pilate, wishing to please the multitude, released Barabbas to them, and handed over Jesus, when he had flogged him, to be crucified.

So Pilate then took Jesus, and flogged him.

"You shall not follow a crowd to do evil; neither shall you testify in court to side with a multitude to pervert justice;

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

"You shall not follow a crowd to do evil; neither shall you testify in court to side with a multitude to pervert justice;

Rescue those who are being led away to death! Indeed, hold back those who are staggering to the slaughter!

So then he delivered him to them to be crucified. So they took Jesus and led him away.

Though they found no cause for death, they still asked Pilate to have him killed.
