And Pilate gave sentence that what they asked for should be done.
Pilate issued his decision to grant their request.
And so Pilate issued a judgment granting their petition.

Then he released to them Bar-Abba, but Yeshua he flogged and delivered to be crucified.
Pilate, wishing to please the multitude, released Bar-Abba to them, and handed over Yeshua, when he had flogged him, to be crucified.
But they were urgent with loud voices, asking that he might be crucified. Their voices and the voices of the chief Kohanim prevailed.
He released him who had been thrown into prison for insurrection and murder, for whom they asked, but he delivered Yeshua up to their will.
So Pilate then took Yeshua, and flogged him.
