And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they required.
And Pilate gave sentence, that what they asked should be done.
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.
Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil; neither shalt thou speak in a cause to decline after many to wrest judgment:
He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both are abomination to the Lord.
Then released he Barab´bas unto them: and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified.
And so Pilate, willing to content the people, released Barab´bas unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified.
And they were instant 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.
