9. Pilate answered, “Do you want me to release to you the king of the Jews?”
10. For he knew that it was out of envy that the chief priests had handed him over.
11. But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have him release Barabbas for them instead.
12. Pilate again said to them in reply, “Then what [do you want] me to do with [the man you call] the king of the Jews?”
13. They shouted again, “Crucify him.”
14. Pilate said to them, “Why? What evil has he done?” They only shouted the louder, “Crucify him.”
15. So Pilate, wishing to satisfy the crowd, released Barabbas to them and, after he had Jesus scourged, handed him over to be crucified.
16. The soldiers led him away inside the palace, that is, the praetorium, and assembled the whole cohort.
17. They clothed him in purple and, weaving a crown of thorns, placed it on him.
18. They began to salute him with, “Hail, King of the Jews!”
19. and kept striking his head with a reed and spitting upon him. They knelt before him in homage.
20. And when they had mocked him, they stripped him of the purple cloak, dressed him in his own clothes, and led him out to crucify him.
21. They pressed into service a passer-by, Simon, a Cyrenian, who was coming in from the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to carry his cross.
22. They brought him to the place of Golgotha (which is translated Place of the Skull).
23. They gave him wine drugged with myrrh, but he did not take it.
24. Then they crucified him and divided his garments by casting lots for them to see what each should take.
