21. But the governor answered and said unto them, Whether of the twain will ye that I release unto you? And they said, Barabbas.
22. Pilate saith unto them, What then shall I do unto Jesus which is called Christ? They all say, Let him be crucified.
23. And he said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out exceedingly, saying, Let him be crucified.
24. So when Pilate saw that he prevailed nothing, but rather that a tumult was arising, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this righteous man: see ye to it.
25. And all the people answered and said, His blood be on us, and on our children.
26. Then released he unto them Barabbas: but Jesus he scourged and delivered to be crucified.
27. Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the palace, and gathered unto him the whole band.
28. And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe.
29. And they plaited a crown of thorns and put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand; and they kneeled down before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!
30. And they spat upon him, and took the reed and smote him on the head.
31. And when they had mocked him, they took off from him the robe, and put on him his garments, and led him away to crucify him.
32. And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled to go with them, that he might bear his cross.
33. And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, The place of a skull,
34. they gave him wine to drink mingled with gall: and when he had tasted it, he would not drink.
35. And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments among them, casting lots:
36. and they sat and watched him there.
