"And Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people,
"Said unto them, Ye have brought this man unto me, as one that perverteth the people: and, behold, I, having examined him before you, have found no fault in this man touching those things whereof ye accuse him...
"I will therefore chastise him, and release him.
"(For of necessity he must release one unto them at the feast.)
"And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this man, and release unto us Barabbas...
"Pilate therefore, willing to release Jesus, spake again to them.
"But they cried, saying, Crucify him, crucify him.
"And he said unto them the third time, Why, what evil hath he done? I have found no cause of death in him: I will therefore chastise him, and let him go.
"And they were instant with loud voices, requiring that he might be crucified...
"And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they required.
"...He delivered Jesus to their will." (Luke 23:13-14,16-18, 20-25)
