* And , Pilate , calling together the High-priests , and the Rulers , and the people , * said unto them Ye brought unto me this man , as one turning away the people , and lo ! I , in your presence , examining him , found , nothing , in this man worthy of blame , in respect of the things whereof ye were making accusation against him . * Nay ! nor Herod ; for he hath sent him back unto you , and lo ! nothing worthy of death , hath been done by him . * So , then , chastising him , I will release him . * But they cried aloud , with the whole throng , saying Away with this man ! and release unto us Barabbas : * who indeed , because of a certain revolt which had occurred in the city , and of murder , had been thrown into prison . * Again , however , Pilate , called out unto them , wishing to release Jesus . * But , they , called out in return , saying Crucify ! crucify him ! * But , he , the third time , said unto them Why ! what base thing hath this man done ? Nothing worthy of death , found I in him . Chastising him , then , I will release him ! * But they became urgent with loud voices , claiming to have him crucified ; and their voices began to prevail . * And , Pilate , consented , that their request should be granted ; * and released him who , for revolt and murder , had been cast into prison , whom they claimed , whereas , Jesus , delivered he up unto their will .
