10 He knew that the chief priests had handed him over because of jealousy.
11 But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have him release Barabbas to them instead.
12 Pilate replied, "Then what do you want me to do with the one you call king of the Jews?"
13 They shouted back, "Crucify him!"
14 Pilate said to them, "Why? What wrong has he done?" They shouted even louder, "Crucify him!"
15 Pilate wanted to satisfy the crowd, so he released Barabbas to them. He had Jesus whipped, then handed him over to be crucified.
16 The soldiers led Jesus away into the courtyard of the palace known as the governor’s headquarters, and they called together the whole company of soldiers.
