And Pilate having called the chief priests, and rulers, and the people, said to them, You have brought me this man as one that perverts the people; and behold, having had an examination before you, I have found in this man no cause for the charges which you bring against him, but neither has Herod, for I sent you to him, and behold, nothing worthy of death has been done by him; read more.
having chastised him therefore, I will release him. (Added verse not retained in Sawyer) And the whole multitude cried out, saying, Take away this man, and release to us Barabbas; who had been cast into prison for a certain sedition made in the city, and a murder. Pilate therefore addressed them again, wishing to release Jesus; but they replied, saying, Crucify him, crucify him. And he said to them a third time, [Why], for what evil has this man done? I have found no cause of death in him; having chastised him therefore, I will release him. And they beset him with loud cries, demanding that he should be crucified; and their cries, and those of the chief priests, prevailed; and Pilate answered, that their demand should be granted. And he released him that was cast into prison for sedition and murder, whom they desired, and delivered up Jesus to their will.

But he said, [No]; for what evil has he done? And they cried more vehemently, saying, Let him be crucified. And Pilate seeing that he accomplished nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, took water and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this man; see you to it. And all the people answered and said, His blood be upon us and upon our children. read more.

Then Pilate came out again and said to them, Behold, I bring him out to you, that you may know that I find no fault in him. Then Jesus came out, wearing the thorny crown and the purple garment. And he said to them, Behold the man! When therefore the chief priests and officers saw him, they cried, saying, Crucify him! crucify him! Pilate said to them, Take him yourselves and crucify him, for I find no fault in him. read more.
The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought to die because he made himself the Son of God. When therefore Pilate heard this charge he was more afraid, and entered into the Praetorium again, and said to Jesus, Whence are you? But Jesus gave him no answer. Pilate said to him, Do you not speak to me? Do you not know that I have power to release you, and I have power to crucify you? Jesus answered, You would have had no power against me if it had not been given you from above; therefore he that delivered me to you has a greater sin. From that time Pilate sought to release him; but the Jews cried, saying, If you release this man you are not a friend of Caesar; every one who makes himself a king speaks against Caesar.

And it was the preparation of the passover, it was about the sixth hour [noon]; and he said to the Jews, Behold your king!
