13 And Pilate, calling together the leaders of the priests, and the magistrates, and the people,
14 said to them: "You have brought before me this man, as one who disturbs the people. And behold, having questioned him before you, I find no case against this man, in those things about which you accuse him.
15 And neither did Herod. For I sent you all to him, and behold, nothing deserving of death was recorded about him.
16 Therefore, I will chastise him and release him."
17 Now he was required to release one person for them on the feast day.
18 But the entire crowd exclaimed together, saying: "Take this one, and release to us Barabbas!"
19 Now he had been cast into prison because of a certain sedition that occurred in the city and for murder.
