Barabbas or Jesus who is called Christ?' 18 for he had known that because of envy they had delivered him up. 19 And as he is sitting on the tribunal, his wife sent unto him, saying, `Nothing -- to thee and to that righteous one, for many things did I suffer to-day in a dream because of him.' 20 And the chief priests and the elders did persuade the multitudes that they might ask for themselves Barabbas, and might destroy Jesus; 21 and the governor answering said to them, `Which of the two will ye `that' I shall release to you?' And they said, `Barabbas.' 22 Pilate saith to them, `What then shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?' They all say to him, `Let be crucified!' 23 And the governor said, `Why, what evil did he?' and they were crying out the more, saying, `Let be crucified.' 24 And Pilate having seen that it profiteth nothing, but rather a tumult is made, having taken water, he did wash the hands before the multitude, saying, `I am innocent from the blood of this righteous one; ye -- ye shall see;' 25 and all the people answering said, `His blood `is' upon us, and upon our children!' 26 Then did he release to them Barabbas, and having scourged Jesus, he delivered `him' up that he may be crucified; 27 then the soldiers of the governor having taken Jesus to the Praetorium, did gather to him all the band; 28 and having unclothed him, they put around him a crimson cloak, 29 and having plaited him a crown out of thorns they put `it' on his head, and a reed in his right hand, and having kneeled before him, they were mocking him, saying, `Hail, the king of the Jews.' 30 And having spit on him, they took the reed, and were smiting on his head; 31 and when they had mocked him, they took off from him the cloak, and put on him his own garments, and led him away to crucify `him'. 32 And coming forth, they found a man, a Cyrenian, by name Simon: him they impressed that he might bear his cross; 33 and having come to a place called Golgotha, that is called Place of a Skull, 34 they gave him to drink vinegar mixed with gall, and having tasted, he would not drink. 35 And having crucified him, they divided his garments, casting a lot, that it might be fulfilled that was spoken by the prophet, `They divided my garments to themselves, and over my vesture they cast a lot;' 36 and sitting down, they were watching him there,

Again the chief priest was questioning him, and saith to him, `Art thou the Christ -- the Son of the Blessed?' 62 and Jesus said, `I am; and ye shall see the Son of Man sitting on the right hand of the power, and coming with the clouds, of the heaven.' 63 And the chief priest, having rent his garments, saith, `What need have we yet of witnesses? 64 Ye heard the evil speaking, what appeareth to you?' and they all condemned him to be worthy of death, 65 and certain began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to buffet him, and to say to him, `Prophesy;' and the officers were striking him with their palms.

• John 18:19-24 : 19 The chief priests, therefore, questioned Jesus concerning his disciples, and concerning his teaching; 20 Jesus answered him, `I spake freely to the world, I did always teach in a synagogue, and in the temple, where the Jews do always come together; and in secret I spake nothing; 21 why me dost thou question? question those having heard what I spake to them; lo, these have known what I said.' 22 And he having said these things, one of the officers standing by did give Jesus a slap, saying, `Thus dost thou answer the chief priest?' 23 Jesus answered him, `If I spake ill, testify concerning the ill; and if well, why me dost thou smite?' 24 Annas then sent him bound to Caiaphas the chief priest.
• John 18:28-19:24 : 28 They led, therefore, Jesus from Caiaphas to the praetorium, and it was early, and they themselves did not enter into the praetorium, that they might not be defiled, but that they might eat the passover; 29 Pilate, therefore, went forth unto them, and said, `What accusation do ye bring against this man?' 30 they answered and said to him, `If he were not an evil doer, we had not delivered him to thee.' 31 Pilate, therefore, said to them, `Take ye him -- ye -- and according to your law judge him;' the Jews, therefore, said to him, `It is not lawful to us to put any one to death;' 32 that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled which he said, signifying by what death he was about to die. 33 Pilate, therefore, entered into the praetorium again, and called Jesus, and said to him, `Thou art the King of the Jews?' 34 Jesus answered him, `From thyself dost thou say this? or did others say it to thee about me?' 35 Pilate answered, `Am I a Jew? thy nation, and the chief priests did deliver thee up to me; what didst thou?' 36 Jesus answered, `My kingdom is not of this world; if my kingdom were of this world, my officers had struggled that I might not be delivered up to Jews; but now my kingdom is not from hence.' 37 Pilate, therefore, said to him, `Art thou then a king?' Jesus answered, `Thou dost say `it'; because a king I am, I for this have been born, and for this I have come to the world, that I may testify to the truth; every one who is of the truth, doth hear my voice.' 38 Pilate saith to him, `What is truth?' and this having said, again he went forth unto the Jews, and saith to them, `I do find no fault in him; 39 and ye have a custom that I shall release to you one in the passover; will ye, therefore, `that' I shall release to you the king of the Jews?' 40 therefore they all cried out again, saying, `Not this one -- but Barabbas;' and Barabbas was a robber. 1 Then, therefore, did Pilate take Jesus and scourge `him', 2 and the soldiers having plaited a crown of thorns, did place `it' on his head, and a purple garment they put around him, 3 and said, `Hail! the king of the Jews;' and they were giving him slaps. 4 Pilate, therefore, again went forth without, and saith to them, `Lo, I do bring him to you without, that ye may know that in him I find no fault;' 5 Jesus, therefore, came forth without, bearing the thorny crown and the purple garment; and he saith to them, `Lo, the man!' 6 When, therefore, the chief priests and the officers did see him, they cried out, saying, `Crucify, crucify;' Pilate saith to them, `Take ye him -- ye, and crucify; for I find no fault in him;' 7 the Jews answered him, `We have a law, and according to our law he ought to die, for he made himself Son of God.' 8 When, therefore, Pilate heard this word, he was the more afraid, 9 and entered again to the praetorium, and saith to Jesus, `Whence art thou?' and Jesus gave him no answer. 10 Pilate, therefore, saith to him, `To me dost thou not speak? hast thou not known that I have authority to crucify thee, and I have authority to release thee?' 11 Jesus answered, `Thou wouldst have no authority against me, if it were not having been given thee from above; because of this, he who is delivering me up to thee hath greater sin.' 12 From this `time' was Pilate seeking to release him, and the Jews were crying out, saying, `If this one thou mayest release, thou art not a friend of Caesar; every one making himself a king, doth speak against Caesar.' 13 Pilate, therefore, having heard this word, brought Jesus without -- and he sat down upon the tribunal -- to a place called, `Pavement,' and in Hebrew, Gabbatha; 14 and it was the preparation of the passover, and as it were the sixth hour, and he saith to the Jews, `Lo, your king!' 15 and they cried out, `Take away, take away, crucify him;' Pilate saith to them, `Your king shall I crucify?' the chief priests answered, `We have no king except Caesar.' 16 Then, therefore, he delivered him up to them, that he may be crucified, and they took Jesus and led `him' away, 17 and bearing his cross, he went forth to the place called `Place' of a Skull, which is called in Hebrew Golgotha; 18 where they crucified him, and with him two others, on this side, and on that side, and Jesus in the midst. 19 And Pilate also wrote a title, and put `it' on the cross, and it was written, `Jesus the Nazarene, the king of the Jews;' 20 this title, therefore, read many of the Jews, because the place was nigh to the city where Jesus was crucified, and it was having been written in Hebrew, in Greek, in Roman. 21 The chief priests of the Jews said, therefore, to Pilate, `Write not -- The king of the Jews, but that one said, I am king of the Jews;' 22 Pilate answered, `What I have written, I have written.' 23 The soldiers, therefore, when they did crucify Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts, to each soldier a part, also the coat, and the coat was seamless, from the top woven throughout, 24 they said, therefore, to one another, `We may not rend it, but cast a lot for it, whose it shall be;' that the Writing might be fulfilled, that is saying, `They divided my garments to themselves, and upon my raiment they did cast a lot;' the soldiers, therefore, indeed, did these things.
