23And he said, Why, what evil has he done? But they gave loud cries, saying, To the cross with him!
24So when Pilate saw that he was able to do nothing, but that trouble was working up, he took water and, washing his hands before the people, said, The blood of this upright man is not on my hands: you are responsible.
25And all the people made answer and said, Let his blood be on us, and on our children.
26Then he let Barabbas go free: but after having Jesus whipped, he gave him up to be put to death on the cross.
27Then the ruler's armed men took Jesus into the open square, and got all their band together.
28And they took off his clothing, and put on him a red robe.
29And they made a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and put a rod in his right hand, and they went down on their knees before him, and made sport of him, saying, Long life to the King of the Jews.
