And Pilate called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people, and said unto them, Ye brought onto me this man, as one that perverteth the people: and behold, I, having examined him before you, found no fault in this man touching those things whereof ye accuse him: no, nor yet Herod: for he sent him back unto us; and behold nothing worthy of death hath been done by him. I will therefore chastise him, and release him. But they cried our all together saying, Away with this man,.. Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged him.
