11 aThen Herod, with his men of war, treated Him with contempt and mocked Him, arrayed Him in a gorgeous robe, and sent Him back to Pilate.
12 That very day aPilate and Herod became friends with each other, for previously they had been at enmity with each other.
Taking the Place of Barabbas
13 aThen Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests, the rulers, and the people,
14 said to them, a“You have brought this Man to me, as one who misleads the people. And indeed, bhaving examined Him in your presence, I have found no fault in this Man concerning those things of which you accuse Him;
15 no, neither did Herod, for I sent you back to him; and indeed nothing deserving of death has been done by Him.
16 aI will therefore chastise Him and release Him”
17 a(for1 it was necessary for him to release one to them at the feast).
18 And athey all cried out at once, saying, “Away with this Man, and release to us Barabbas”—
19 who had been thrown into prison for a certain rebellion made in the city, and for murder.
20 Pilate, therefore, wishing to release Jesus, again called out to them.
21 But they shouted, saying, “Crucify Him, crucify Him!”
22 Then he said to them the third time, “Why, what evil has He done? I have found no reason for death in Him. I will therefore chastise Him and let Him go.”
23 But they were insistent, demanding with loud voices that He be crucified. And the voices of these men1 and of the chief priests prevailed.
