Luke 23:24

New King James Version

So Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they requested.

See the chapter Copy

You shall not follow a crowd to do evil; nor shall you testify in a dispute so as to turn aside after many to pervert justice.

Then he released Barabbas to them; and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered Him to be crucified.

He who justifies the wicked, and he who condemns the just, Both of them alike are an abomination to the Lord.

So Pilate, wanting to gratify the crowd, released Barabbas to them; and he delivered Jesus, after he had scourged Him, to be crucified.

So then Pilate took Jesus and scourged Him.

But they were insistent, demanding with loud voices that He be crucified. And the voices of these men and of the chief priests prevailed.

And he released to them the one they requested, who for rebellion and murder had been thrown into prison; but he delivered Jesus to their will.
