9. Then he questioned with him in many words; but he answered him nothing.
10. And the chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently accused him.
11. And Herod with his troops set him at naught, and mocked him, and arrayed him in a gorgeous robe, and sent him again to Pilate.
12. And the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends together; for before they were at enmity between themselves.
13. And Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests, and the rulers, and the people,
14. Said to them, Ye have brought this man to 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 of which ye accuse him;
15. No, nor yet Herod: for I sent you to him; and lo, nothing worthy of death is done to him:
16. I will therefore chastise him, and release him.
17. (For of necessity he must release one to them at the feast.)
18. And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this man, and release to us Barabbas:
19. (Who, for a certain sedition made in the city, and for murder, was cast into prison.)
20. Pilate therefore, willing to release Jesus, spoke again to them.
21. But they cried, saying, Crucify, crucify him.
22. And he said to 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.
23. And they were urgent with loud voices, requiring that he might be crucified: and the voices of them, and of the chief priests prevailed.
24. And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they required.
25. And he released to them him that for sedition and murder had been cast into prison, whom they had desired; but he delivered Jesus to their will.
