Luke 23:13-25
The Crowd Chooses Barabbas

13 And Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people,

13:

14 Said unto them, Ye have brought this man unto me, as one that perverteth the people: and, behold, I, having examined [him] before you, have found no fault in this man touching those things whereof ye accuse him:

14:

15 No, nor yet Herod: for I sent you to him; and, lo, nothing worthy of death is done unto him.

15:

16 I will therefore chastise him, and release [him].

16:

18 And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this [man], and release unto us Barabbas:

18:

19 (Who for a certain sedition made in the city, and for murder, was cast into prison.)

19:

20 Pilate therefore, willing to release Jesus, spake again to them.

20:

21 But they cried, saying, Crucify [him], crucify him.

21:

22 And he said unto them the third time, Why, what evil hath he done? I have found no cause of death in him: I will therefore chastise him, and let [him] go.

22:

23 And they were instant with loud voices, requiring that he might be crucified. And the voices of them and of the chief priests prevailed.

23:

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

24:

25 And he released unto them him that for sedition and murder was cast into prison, whom they had desired; but he delivered Jesus to their will.

25:
