Matthew 27:24-29

24WhenG1161 PilateG4091 sawG3708 thatG3754 he was accomplishingG5623 nothingG3762, but thatG235 insteadG3123 a riotG2351 was breaking outG1096, he tookG2983 waterG5204 and washedG633 his handsG5495 beforeG561 theG3588 crowdG3793. “I amG1510 innocentG121 ofG575 thisG3778 man’s bloodG129,1” he saidG3004. “YouG4771 bear the responsibilityG3708.”

AllG3956 theG3588 peopleG2992 answeredG611, “HisG846 bloodG129 be onG1909 usG1473 andG2532 onG1909 ourG1473 childrenG5043!”

26So Pilate releasedG630 BarabbasG912 to themG846. ButG1161 he had Jesus floggedG5417G3588G2424, and handed Him overG3860 toG2443 be crucifiedG4717.

27ThenG5119 theG3588 governor’sG2232 soldiersG4757 tookG3880 JesusG2424 intoG1519 theG3588 PraetoriumG4232 and gatheredG4863 theG3588 wholeG3650 companyG4686 aroundG1909 HimG846. 28They strippedG1562 HimG846 and putG4060 a scarletG2847 robeG5511 on HimG846. 29AndG2532 they twisted togetherG4120 a crownG4735 ofG1537 thornsG173 and setG2007 it onG1909 HisG846 headG2776. They put a staffG2563 inG1722 HisG846 right handG1188, knelt downG1120 beforeG1715 HimG846, and mockedG1702 HimG846, sayingG3004, “HailG5463, KingG935 of theG3588 JewsG2453!”
