16 Therefore I will scourge Him and release Him.”
17 [footnote: Some mss. add: Now Pilate needed to release one prisoner to them at the feast.]
18 But they shouted out all together, saying, “Take this fellow away! Release to us Bar-Abba!”
19 (He was someone who had been thrown into prison for a rebellion in the city and murder.)
20 Again Pilate addressed them, wanting to release Yeshua;
21 but they kept shouting out, saying, “Execute, execute Him!”
22 And a third time he spoke to them, “Why? What evil has this One done? I have found in Him no fault deserving of death. Therefore, I will scourge and release Him.”
