And Pilate gave sentence that what they asked for should be done.
And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they required.
And Pilate gave sentence, that what they asked 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 turn aside after a multitude to wrest judgement:
He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the righteous, Both of them alike are an abomination to the LORD.
Then released he unto them Barabbas: but Jesus he scourged and delivered to be crucified.
And Pilate, wishing to content the multitude, released unto them Barabbas, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified.
But they were instant with loud voices, asking that he might be crucified. And their voices prevailed.
And he released him that for insurrection and murder had been cast into prison, whom they asked for; but Jesus he delivered up to their will.
Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged him.
