And the governor ^(F1)said to them, "Which of the two do you want me to release for you?" And they said, "Barabbas."

Pilate ^(*)said to them, "Then what shall I do with Jesus ^(C1)who is called Christ?" They all ^(*)said, "^(F1)Crucify Him!"

But he said, "Why, what evil has He done?" Yet they kept shouting all the more, saying, "^(F1)Crucify Him!"

Now when Pilate saw that he was accomplishing nothing, but rather that ^(C1)a riot was starting, he took water and ^(C2)washed his hands in front of the crowd, saying, "I am innocent of ^(C3)this Man's blood; ^(C4)you yourselves shall see."

And all the people replied, "^(C1)His blood shall be on us and on our children!"

Then he released Barabbas ^(F1)for them; but after having Jesus ^(C1)flogged, he handed Him over to be crucified.

^(C1)Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into ^(C2)the ^(F1)Praetorium and gathered the whole Roman ^(F2)(C3)cohort to Him.

And they stripped Him and ^(C1)put a red ^(F1)cloak on Him.

^(C1)And after twisting together a crown of thorns, they put it on His head, and put a ^(F1)reed in His right hand; and they knelt down before Him and mocked Him, saying, "^(C2)Hail, King of the Jews!"

And ^(C1)they spit on Him, and took the reed and beat Him on the head.

^(C1)And after they had mocked Him, they took the cloak off Him and put His own garments back on Him, and led Him away to crucify Him.
