And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they demanded.
You shall not follow a multitude to do evil; neither shall you testify in a dispute to follow after a crowd to pervert judgment:
He that justifies the wicked, and he that condemns the just, even they both are abomination to the LORD.
Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified.
And so Pilate, willing to satisfy the people, released Barabbas unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified.
And they were urgent with loud voices, requiring that he might be crucified. And the voices of them and of the chief priests prevailed.
And he released unto them him that for sedition and murder was cast into prison, whom they had desired; but he delivered Jesus to their will.
Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged him.
