Contextual Overview

13 And, Pilate, calling together the High-priests, and the Rulers, and the people, 14 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. 15 Nay! nor Herod; for he hath sent him back unto you, - and lo! nothing worthy of death, hath been done by him. 16 So, then, chastising him, I will release him. 18 But they cried aloud, with the whole throng, saying - Away with this man! and release unto us Barabbas: - 19 who indeed, because of a certain revolt which had occurred in the city, and of murder, had been thrown into prison. 20 Again, however, Pilate, called out unto them, wishing to release Jesus. 21 But, they, called out in return, saying - Crucify! crucify him! 22 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! 23 But they became urgent with loud voices, claiming to have him crucified; and their voices began to prevail.
