24. And when Pilate saw that he was accomplishing nothing, but rather that a riot was starting, he took water and washed his hands in front of the multitude, saying, I am innocent of this man's blood; see to that yourselves.
25. And, in reply, all the people said, His dahm be on us and on our yeladim.
26. Then Pilate released Bar-Abba to them. But after having Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach scourged, he handed him over to be hanged on HAETZ [DEVARIM 21:23].
27. Then the soldiers of the Governor took him into the praetorium and gathered the whole cohort against Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach. [TEHILLIM 2:1]
28. And they stripped him and put a royal scarlet robe on him, and,
29. After weaving a keter of thorns, they placed it on his head and put a reed in his right hand, and they fell down before him and mocked him saying, Hail, Melech HaYehudim!
30. And they spat on Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach and took the reed and began to beat him on the head.
31. And after they had made leitzonus (mockery) of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, they took off his robe and put his garments on him, and led him away to hang him on HAETZ.
32. And as they were coming out, they found a man from Cyrene named Shimon, whom they pressed into service to bear Moshiach's Etz.
33. And when they had come to a place called Gulgolta, which means place of a skull,
34. They gave him wine to drink mingled with gall. And, after tasting it, he was unwilling to drink.
35. When they had hanged Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach on HAETZ, they divided up Moshiach's garments among themselves, casting lots;
36. And, sitting down, they began to keep watch over him there.
