LUKE 23:1-25
23:1 And the whole multitude of them arose, and led him unto Pilate.
23:2 And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this fellow perverting the 
nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying that he himself is 
Christ a King.
23:3 And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he 
answered him and said, Thou sayest it.
23:4 Then said Pilate to the chief priests and to the people, I find no fault 
in this man.
23:5 And they were the more fierce, saying, He stirreth up the people, teaching 
throughout all Jewry, beginning from Galilee to this place.
23:6 When Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked whether the man were a Galilaean.
23:7 And as soon as he knew that he belonged unto Herod's jurisdiction, he sent 
him to Herod, who himself also was at Jerusalem at that time.
23:8 And when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad: for he was desirous to 
see him of a long season, because he had heard many things of him; and he hoped 
to have seen some miracle done by him.
23:9 Then he questioned with him in many words; but he answered him nothing.
23:10 And the chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently accused him.
23:11 And Herod with his men of war set him at nought, and mocked him, and 
arrayed him in a gorgeous robe, and sent him again to Pilate.
23:12 And the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends together: for before 
they were at enmity between themselves.
23:13 And Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests and the rulers 
and the people,
23:14 Said unto them, Ye have brought this man unto me, as one that perverteth 
the people: and, behold, I, having examined him before you, have found no fault 
in this man touching those things whereof ye accuse him:
23:15 No, nor yet Herod: for I sent you to him; and, lo, nothing worthy of 
death is done unto him.
23:16 I will therefore chastise him, and release him.
23:17 (For of necessity he must release one unto them at the feast.)
23:18 And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this man, and release 
unto us Barabbas:
23:19 (Who for a certain sedition made in the city, and for murder, was cast 
into prison.)
23:20 Pilate therefore, willing to release Jesus, spake again to them.
23:21 But they cried, saying, Crucify him, crucify him.
23:22 And he said unto them the third time, Why, what evil hath he done? I have 
found no cause of death in him: I will therefore chastise him, and let him go.
23:23 And they were instant with loud voices, requiring that he might be 
crucified. And the voices of them and of the chief priests prevailed.
23:24 And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they required.
23:25 And he released unto them him that for sedition and murder was cast into 
prison, whom they had desired; but he delivered Jesus to their will.
