23And he said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out exceedingly, saying, Let him be crucified.
24So when Pilate saw that he prevailed nothing, but rather that a tumult was arising, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this righteous man; see ye [to it].
25And all the people answered and said, His blood [be] on us, and on our children.
26Then released he unto them Barabbas; but Jesus he scourged and delivered to be crucified.
27Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the Praetorium, and gathered unto him the whole band.
28And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe.
29And they platted a crown of thorns and put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand; and they kneeled down before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!
