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 15 things whereof ye accuse him: no, nor yet Herod: for I sent you to him; and, lo, nothing worthy of death is done 16 unto him. *I will therefore chastise him, and release him. 1Now at that feast the governor was wont to release unto the people one prisoner, whomsoever they desired. (For of necessity he must release one unto them at the feast.) *And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas, which lay bound with them that had made insurrection with him, who had committed murder in the insurrection. And the multitude crying aloud, began to desire him to do as he had ever done unto them. "Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, Whom will ye that I release unto you? + Barabbas, or Jesus which is called Christ,-7the King of the Jews?

Jesus which is called Christ? unto him whom ye call the King of the Jews? And they cried out again, saying, Crucify him; 3 Let him be crucified. And the governor 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. And they were instant with loud voices, requiring that he might be crucified. And they cried out the more exceedingly, Crucify him. "When Pilate saw that he

could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye to it. Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children. And the voices of them and of the chief priests prevailed.

And there followed him a great company of people, and of women, which also bewailed and 28 lamented him.

For, behold, the days are coming, in the which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the paps which never gave suck. 30 Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; 31 and to the hills, Cover us.

Then said the chief 21 priests of the Jews to Pilate, Write not, The King of the Jews; but that he said, I am King of the Jews. answered, What I have written, I have written.

These things therefore the soldiers did. And it was the third hour, and they crucified him.
