Pilate Condemns Jesus

13

Then Pilate called together the hie Priests and the rulers, and the people,

14

And sayd vnto them, Ye haue brought this man vnto me, as one that peruerted the people: and beholde, I haue examined him before you, and haue found no fault in this man, of those things whereof ye accuse him:

15

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

16

I will therefore chastise him, and let him loose.

17

(For of necessitie hee must haue let one loose vnto them at the feast.)

18

Then all ye multitude cried at once, saying, Away with him, and deliuer vnto vs Barabbas:

19

Which for a certaine insurrection made in the citie, and murder, was cast in prison.

20

Then Pilate spake againe to them, willing to let Iesus loose.

21

But they cried, saying, Crucifie, crucifie him.

22

And he sayd vnto them the third time, But what euill hath he done? I finde no cause of death in him: I will therefore chastise him, and let him loose.

23

But they were instant with loude voyces, and required that he might be crucified: and the voyces of them and of the hie Priests preuailed.

24

So Pilate gaue sentence, that it should be as they required.

25

And he let loose vnto them him that for insurrection and murder was cast into prison, whome they desired, and deliuered Iesus to doe with him what they would.
