noyes@Luke:23:13 @ And Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people,
noyes@Luke:23:14 @ said to them, Ye have brought to me this man, as one that perverteth the people; and behold, I have examined him before you, and have found nothing in this man to sustain the charges which ye bring against him.
noyes@Luke:23:15 @ No, nor yet Herod; for he hath sent him back to us; and lo! nothing deserving death hath been done by him.
noyes@Luke:23:16 @ I will therefore chastise, and release him.
noyes@Luke:23:17 @ Now it was necessary for him to release to them one at the feast.
noyes@Luke:23:18 @ And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this man, and release to us Barabbas;
noyes@Luke:23:19 @ who, for a certain sedition made in the city, and for murder, had been cast into prison.
noyes@Luke:23:20 @ But Pilate again spoke to them, wishing to release Jesus.
noyes@Luke:23:21 @ But they cried out, saying, Crucify, crucify him!
noyes@Luke:23:22 @ And he said to them the third time, Why, what evil hath this man done? I have found him guilty of nothing deserving death; I will therefore chastise, and release him.
noyes@Luke:23:23 @ But they were urgent with loud voices, demanding that he should he crucified; and their voices prevailed.
noyes@Luke:23:24 @ And Pilate gave sentence that what they demanded should be done.
noyes@Luke:23:25 @ And he released him who for sedition and murder had been cast into prison, whom they asked for; but Jesus he delivered up to their will.
