So Pilate, willing to do what would be satisfactory to the people, released to them Barabbas, and delivered Jesus to be scourged, in order to be crucified.

Then Pilate, convoking the chief priests and the rulers and the people, said unto them, Ye have brought this man to me, as one who perverteth the people: and lo! on examining him before you, I have found nothing culpable in this man, respecting the charges ye bring against him: nor Herod neither: for I referred you to him; and, lo, nothing is done to this man, as if he deserved death. read more.
I will therefore, after scourging, discharge him. (Now he held it necessary to release one to them at the feast.) Then the whole multitude set up a cry, saying, Away with this fellow, and release unto us Barabbas! (who for a certain sedition raised in the city, and for murder, had been cast into prison.) Again therefore Pilate called out to them, desirous to see Jesus at liberty. But they clamoured the more, saying, Crucify, crucify him. Then the third time he said to them, What evil hath this man done? I have found nothing deserving death in him: I will therefore, after scourging, discharge him. But they were instant with the most clamorous vociferations, soliciting that he might be crucified. And their clamours, and those of the chief priests, bore him down. Then Pilate decreed that their petition should be granted. Then released he to them him who for sedition and murder had been cast into prison; but he gave up Jesus to their will.

The governor replied, But what evil hath he done? They cried out with greater vehemence, saying, Let him be crucified. 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. Then all the people answering said, His blood be on us, and on our children. read more.
Then he released unto them Barabbas: but having scourged Jesus, he delivered him up to be crucified. Thereupon the soldiers of the governor taking Jesus away to the Praetorium, gathered around him the whole band:

Pilate saith unto him, What is truth? And having thus spoken, he went out again unto the Jews and saith to them, I find no fault in him. But ye have a custom, that I should release to you one person at the passover: will ye therefore that I release unto you the King of the Jews?

Then again went Pilate out, and said to them, Behold, I bring him out to you, that ye may know that I find in him no fault at all. Then came Jesus out, bearing the thorny crown, and the purple robe. And he said to them, Behold the man! When the chief priests therefore and the officers saw him, they cried vociferously, saying, Crucify him! crucify him! Pilate saith to them, Take him yourselves, and crucify him: for I have not found in him a fault. read more.
The Jews replied to him, We have a law, and according to our law he ought to die, because he hath made himself the Son of God. When Pilate then heard this saying, he was the more afraid: and entered into the praetorium again, and saith to Jesus, From whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer. Then saith Pilate to him, Dost thou not speak to me? dost thou not know that I have power to crucify thee, and that I have power to release thee? Jesus answered, Thou wouldest have had no authority over me, unless it had been given thee from above: for this reason, he that hath delivered me up to thee hath the greater crime. Upon this Pilate sought to release him: but the Jews clamoured, saying, If thou release this fellow, thou art no friend of Caesar's: every one who professes himself a king, speaks in opposition to Caesar. When Pilate therefore heard this speech, he brought Jesus out, and sat down on the judgment seat, in a place called the Stone Pavement, but in the Hebrew, Gabbatha. And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith to the Jews, Behold your King!
