¹⁴ And Pilate said to them, Why, what evil has he done? But their cry was the louder, To the cross!

⁴¹ And with reason; for we have the right reward of our acts, but this man has done nothing wrong.

³⁸ Pilate said to him, True? what is true? Having said this he went out again to the Jews and said to them, I see no wrong in him.

⁶ So when the chief priests and the police saw him they gave a loud cry, To the cross! to the cross! Pilate said to them, Take him yourselves and put him on the cross: I see no crime in him.

¹² Hearing this, Pilate had a desire to let him go free, but the Jews said in a loud voice, If you let this man go, you are not Caesar's friend: everyone who makes himself a king goes against Caesar.

¹³ So when these words came to Pilate's ear, he took Jesus out, seating himself in the judge's seat in a place named in Hebrew, Gabbatha, or the Stone Floor.

¹⁴ (It was the day when they made ready for the Passover; and it was about the sixth hour.) And he said to the Jews, There is your King!

¹⁵ Then they gave a loud cry, Away with him! away with him! to the cross! Pilate said to them, Am I to put your King to death on the cross? The chief priests said in answer, We have no king but Caesar.

⁵⁴ Hearing these things, they were cut to the heart and moved with wrath against him.

⁵⁵ But he was full of the Holy Spirit, and looking up to heaven, he saw the glory of God and Jesus at the right hand of God.

⁵⁶ And he said, Now I see heaven open, and the Son of man at the right hand of God.

⁵⁷ But with loud cries, and stopping their ears, they made an attack on him all together,

³⁴ But when they saw that he was a Jew, all of them with one voice went on crying out for about two hours, Great is Diana of Ephesus.

²² And they gave him a hearing as far as this word; then with loud voices they said, Away with this man from the earth; it is not right for him to be living.

²³ And while they were crying out, and pulling off their clothing, and sending dust into the air,

²⁶ It was right for us to have such a high priest, one who is holy and without evil, doing no wrong, having no part with sinners, and made higher than the heavens:

¹⁹ But through holy blood, like that of a clean and unmarked lamb, even the blood of Christ:

⁴⁷ And when the captain saw what was done, he gave praise to God, saying, Without doubt this was an upright man.

²³ But they went on crying out loudly, Let him be put to death on the cross. And they had their way.

²⁴ And Pilate gave his decision for their desire to be put into effect.

²¹ But crying out they said, To the cross with him!

³ Men made sport of him, turning away from him; he was a man of sorrows, marked by disease; and like one from whom men's faces are turned away, he was looked down on, and we put no value on him.

⁹ And they put his body into the earth with sinners, and his last resting-place was with the evil-doers, though he had done no wrong, and no deceit was in his mouth.

⁴ Saying, I have done wrong in giving into your hands an upright man. But they said, What is that to us? it is your business.

¹⁹ And while he was on the judge's seat, his wife sent to him, saying, Have nothing to do with that upright man, for I have had much trouble this day in a dream because of him.

²³ And he said, Why, what evil has he done? But they gave loud cries, saying, To the cross with him!

²⁴ So 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.

²⁵ And all the people made answer and said, Let his blood be on us, and on our children.

⁵⁴ Now the captain and those who were with him watching Jesus, when they saw the earth-shock and the things which were done, were in great fear and said, Truly this was a son of God.

⁴ And Pilate said to the chief priests and the people, In my opinion this man has done no wrong.

¹⁴ You say that this man has been teaching the people evil things: now I, after going into the question before you, see nothing wrong in this man in connection with the things which you have said against him:

¹⁵ And Herod is of the same opinion, for he has sent him back to us; for, you see, he has done nothing for which I might put him to death.

⁴ Those who have hate for me without cause are greater in number than the hairs of my head; those who are against me, falsely desiring my destruction, are very strong; I gave back what I had not taken away.
