And Pilate having called together the chief priests and rulers and people, Said to them, Ye have brought to me this man, as perverting the people: and, behold, I having examined him before you, have found nothing blameworthy in this man, of what things ye bring an accusation against him: But neither Herod: for I sent you forth to him; and, behold, nothing worthy of death is done to him. read more.
Therefore, having chastised him, I will release. (And he had necessity to loose one at the festival.) And they cried out with the entire multitude, saying, Take this away, and loose to us Barabbas: (Who was for a certain sedition having been in the city, and slaughter, cast into prison.) Again Pilate called, wishing to loose Jesus. And they exclaimed, saying, Crucify, crucify him. And he said to them the third time, For what evil has he done I have found no cause of death in him: therefore, having corrected him, I will loose.

Pilate says to him, What is truth? And having said this, again went he out to the Jews, and says to them, I find no fault in him. But a custom is to you, that I loose one to you in the pascha: will ye therefore I should loose to you the King of the Jews

Then again went out Pilate without, and says to them, See, I lead him to you without, that ye might know that in him I find no fault. Then went forth Jesus without, bearing a crown of thorns, and a purple garment. And he says to them, Behold the man! When therefore the chief priests and attendants saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify, crucify. Pilate says to them, Take ye him, and crucify; 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, for he made himself the Son of God. When Pilate heard this word, he was more afraid: And went into the pretorinm again, and says to Jesus, Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer. Then says Pilate to him, Speakest thou not to me? knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and have power to loose thee. Jesus answered, Thou bast no power against me, if it were not given thee from above: therefore he delivering me to thee has greater sin. From this Pilate sought to loose him: and the Jews cried out, saying, If thou loose this, thou art not Caesar's friend: every one making himself a king speaks against Caesar. Then Pilate having heard, brought Jesus without, and sat upon the judgment seat, in a place called Paved with ornamental stones; in Hebraic, Gabbatha. And it was the preparation of the pascha, and about the sixth hour: and he says to the Jews, Behold your King!
