The chief priests and elders got the people to request Barabbas, and for Jesus to be put to death. The governor responded to them. He asked: Which of the two do you want me to set free? They shouted: Barabbas! Pilate said to them: What am I to do with Jesus, the one called Christ? They all said: Put him to death. Impale him! What evil has he done? Pilate asked. But they shouted: Impale him! Pilate saw that he could do nothing. The people were ready to cause much trouble. He took water and washed his hands in front of the people.

A third time he said to them: Why, what evil has this man done? I have found no reason to put him to death. I will therefore chastise him and release him.

When the chief priests and officers saw him, they cried out: Impale him! Impale him! Pilate replied: Take him yourselves, and impale him for he has committed no crime!

He entered into the Praetorium again, and said to Jesus: Where are you from? But Jesus gave him no answer. Pilate said: Will you not speak to me?

Therefore he that delivered me to you has greater sin. As a result of this Pilate sought to release him. The Jews cried out: If you release this man you are not Caesar's friend.
