23But the governor said, "Why? What evil has he done?" But they cried out exceedingly, saying, "Let him be crucified!"
24So when Pilate saw that nothing was gained, but rather that a disturbance was starting, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, "I am innocent of the blood of this righteous person. You see to it."
25All the people answered, "May his blood be on us, and on our children!"
26Then he released to them Barabbas, but Jesus he flogged and delivered to be crucified.
27Then the governor`s soldiers took Jesus into the Praetorium, and gathered to him the whole cohort.
28They stripped him, and put a scarlet robe on him.
29They braided a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and a reed in his right hand; and they kneeled down before him, and mocked him, saying, "Hail, King of the Jews!"
