Luke 23:13-25

13ThenG1161 PilateG4091 called togetherG4779 theG3588 chief priestsG749, theG3588 rulersG758, andG2532 theG3588 peopleG2992, 14and saidG2036 toG4314 themG846, “You broughtG4374 meG1473 thisG3778 manG444 asG5613 one who was incitingG654 theG3588 people to rebellionG2992. IG1473 have examinedG350 Him hereG2400 in your presenceG1799G4771 and foundG2147 Him notG3762 guiltyG159 ofG3739 your chargesG2723 againstG2596 HimG846. 15NeitherG3761 has HerodG2264, forG1063 he sent Him backG375G846 toG4314 usG1473. As you can seeG2400, HeG846 hasG1510 doneG4238 nothingG3762 deservingG514 of deathG2288. 16ThereforeG3767 I will punishG3811 HimG846 and releaseG630 Him.”1

18ButG1161 they all cried outG349 in unisonG3826G3004: “Away withG142 thisG3778 man! ReleaseG630 BarabbasG912 to usG1473!” 19(Barabbas had been imprisonedG906G1722G3588G5438 forG1223 anG5100 insurrectionG4714 inG1722 theG3588 cityG4172, andG2532 for murderG5408.)

WantingG2309 to releaseG630 JesusG2424, PilateG4091 addressedG4377 themG846 againG3825, 21butG1161 they kept shoutingG2019G3004, “CrucifyG4717 Him! CrucifyG4717 HimG846!”

A thirdG5154 time he saidG2036 toG4314 themG846, “WhatG5101 evilG2556 has thisG3778 man doneG4160? I have foundG2147 inG1722 HimG846 noG3762 offense worthyG159 of deathG2288. SoG3767 after I punishG3811 HimG846, I will releaseG630 Him.”

23ButG1161 they were insistentG1945, demandingG154 with loud voicesG5456G3173 forG846 Jesus to be crucifiedG4717. AndG2532 theirG846 clamorG54562 prevailedG2729. 24SoG2532 PilateG4091 sentencedG1948 that theirG846 demandG155 be metG1096. 25AsG1161 they had requestedG154, he releasedG630 theG3588 one imprisonedG906G1519G5438 forG1223 insurrectionG4714 andG2532 murderG5408, andG1161 he handedG3860 JesusG2424 over toG3588 theirG846 willG2307.
